Revenge of the Hideous Lady (Xyla Quest) novel Chapter 2030

“Who’d have thought Jeremy would pass away after finding out about these things? Now, Stan suspects that his death isn’t as simple as it seems.

“I don’t know how to tell you exactly what happened. The state you’re in-” Sharon Lindt broke off, feeling a little panicked. She didn’t know how to explain further.

Meanwhile, Xyla Quest was having a complete breakdown as she grabbed the duvet tightly and cried continuously. The pressure in her chest was overwhelming, almost as if it could explode at any moment.

She felt like she was going to die.

Her father was the most important person to her, as well as the person who loved her the most, apart from Stanley Batton and her children.

Jeremy Quest was her only family.

She didn’t even get to repay him for bringing her up since he died so suddenly.

How was she supposed to accept this?

When her father found out about her premature delivery, he'd come to the hospital to see her children, and check in on her.

But now, to find out that he’d died that very same day?

Life was a little too fragile.

Xyla never would’ve thought that this afternoon was the last time she’d see her father. If she’d known, she’d have spent more time talking with him.

She would have never let him leave so soon. She truly regretted not looking at him longer when they met.

Her children had somehow just returned, and she hadn’t even celebrated their return yet.

Now, Stanley was telling her that her father had died. Why was God so cruel to her?

Was it because she was indebted to someone else in her past life? Why didn’t she pay that person back in her past life? Why was it brought forward to this lifetime?

Why did her father have to suffer for her wrongdoings?

Couldn’t she bear all the consequences on her own?

At that moment, Xyla felt suffocated.

She wanted to get up and see her father for the last time, but her children were there right now.

She didn’t dare move at all except to close her eyes and wail loudly.

Seeing his wife like that, Stanley's eyes filled with tears.

Sharon reacted the same way.

Stanley tried to wipe Xyla’s tears away carefully. “Honey, don’t be like this. We can't revive the dead.”

“Xyla, please don’t be like this. Your father would only feel sad if he saw this in heaven.” Sharon was also breaking down.

At the moment, they still hadn’t uncovered the truth about Jeremy Quest’s death, so Sharon still felt responsible for what happened.

He rarely cried in his life, but he couldn’t control his tears right now.

His tears fell on Xyla’s face repeatedly, mixing with hers.

She looked helplessly into Stanley’s reddened eyes, still devastated at her loss. “But I want to see my father. I want to see him one last time.

“I’m his daughter. How could I not see him for the last time now that he’s dead? Honey, I’m begging you. Let me see him, please,” Xyla begged, struggling continuously. Suddenly, she had lost all sense of rationality.

It was extremely tense in the ward.

Stanley shook his head and persisted to pin her shoulders down as he gazed at her face. “Be good now. I can give you anything you want except for this. Your body can’t take it, and I won't let you take the risk.

“Xyla, I’m begging you. Think of me and our children. Don’t act rashly, all right?” he added.

Stanley had never faced any problem he couldn’t solve all his life. But now, he felt totally clueless.

He didn’t know what to do with Xyla, and seeing her this way made his heart break.

Nearby, Sharon was shaken as she tried to calm the child down as she looked at her daughter-in-law. “Xyla, please calm down. Don’t be like this, please, I’m begging you.

“Look at your child,” she begged.

Realizing that her efforts were futile, Xyla finally quietened down and closed her eyes helplessly, trembling as she spoke. “But I want to see my father. I want to see him for the last time. If I can’t do that, I’d regret it for the rest of my life.”
