Revenge of the Hideous Lady (Xyla Quest) novel Chapter 2018

Sharon Lindt couldn’t believe what she heard.

At that moment, her mind was buzzing so much she couldn’t think straight.

How could the person she spoke to on the phone earlier be dead?

Perhaps it was because of her call?

Apart from shock and sadness, Sharon also felt guilty.

She now regretted telling Jeremy Quest about what happened.

If she hadn’t told him, would he have been alive?

What would she tell Xyla Quest when she woke up?

Jeremy had died because of her.

Sharon hated herself, and that thought prompted her to slap herself twice forcefully.

Why did she have to call him?

Earlier, her only thought was that Jeremy deserved to know what happened to his grandchildren.

Besides, he would’ve found out anyway when he came to visit them.

Now that Sharon thought about it, perhaps she had acted too rashly.

Would he have been fine if she had kept it a secret from him?

What should she do? What could she do?

Suddenly, Sharon felt lost and panicked.

Her grandchildren had been kidnapped during their weakest state.

Her daughter-in-law was heartbroken and still suffering from her post-delivery surgical wound.

On top of that, Sharon indirectly caused Xyla’s father to die after breaking the news to him.

She could feel herself having an emotional breakdown as tears filled her eyes, blurring her vision.

Her body began to tremble, feeling drained of energy that she couldn’t even stand upright anymore.

Her knees gave way, and she directly plopped down on Xyla’s bed as her heart raced to the point where her chest hurt.

Sharon felt as if she couldn’t take it anymore.

She felt suffocated, hopeless, and in pain.

All these feelings inside her made it feel like she was in hell.

Inhaling deeply, she lifted her hands and forcefully slapped herself twice again.

Despite using full force, she could feel no pain.

At that moment, the pain in her heart surpassed any physical pain she was feeling.

“I-I’m terrible, I really am. Why did I have to call him? Why?”

With that, she lifted her hands and slapped herself twice more.

Seeing that, the maid hurried forward to grab her hands. “Ms. Lindt, please stop. You couldn’t have known that calling Mr. Quest would cause him to die.”

The maid also started sobbing as she spoke.
