Xyla Quest still loved both her children. Her life felt fuller with their presence, making her world feel much warmer.
Out of the blue, she was reminded of her late father, affecting her mood slightly.
Releasing a long sigh, she gazed at Stanley Batton and the others. “Can I go outside for a bit? I’ll be back very soon.”
The Batton family had overseen and held Jeremy Quest’s funeral during Xyla’s postpartum recovery period, so she couldn't attend it despite being his daughter.
It was now time for her to pay her respects to her late father ever since she left the hospital.
Xyla wanted to wait until her postpartum recovery period was over before personally holding the burial service for him, but Yaksha disagreed with her decision.
Doing so would affect his luck in his next life, possibly even cause him to become a wandering spirit.
She asked for details, but he wouldn’t explain any further and insisted that they held the burial service on his chosen date.
Yaksha also forbade her to attend Jeremy's burial.
Left with no choice, Xyla had to agree reluctantly, knowing she couldn't ignore his advice out of everyone she knew.
He was not an ordinary person. Everything he said had its reason.
Now, Xyla felt an even greater sense of remorse toward her father by not even attending his funeral back then.
As soon as she made the request, Stanley knew what she wanted to do.
He immediately agreed. “I’ll take you there.”
Xyla nodded.
They both had spent a lot of time together, so much that they could practically finish each other’s sentences by now.
