Revenge of the Hideous Lady (Xyla Quest) novel Chapter 2264

“Didn’t you say that you have aches around where the doctor injected anesthetics into your body? Did it ache yesterday?” Sharon Lindt asked.

“Yeah, it ached in the middle of the night, but it wasn’t too bad,” Annabeth Cates said with a nod.

Ever since she'd received the anesthetics shot, the area of the injection site would frequently twinge with pain.

She had tried many ways to make it go away, but nothing worked.

The doctor and Xyla Quest had told her that it was a side effect of the shot. It would be difficult to recover quickly, so she would have to let it heal in time.

“Did you ask Josh to give you a massage?” Sharon asked.

She shook her head. “He was already asleep at the time.”

“So what if he’s asleep?" Sharon responded indignantly. "Can’t you wake him up? He’s a man. He can take it.”

“I didn’t want him to be too tired because we have a show to film today,” she explained.

“There’s nothing wrong with waking him up once or twice. Right now, you are the priority," Sharon emphasized. "Listen to me. If you feel discomfort at night again, please wake your husband up to give you a massage.

“You only suffer from this because you had given birth to his daughter, so it’s his duty to attend to your needs.”

She then turned to look at Josh Batton. “Don’t you think so?”

He nodded, agreeing with his mother wholeheartedly.

“Yes, don’t worry about it next time. Just wake me up for anything, even to give you a massage. It doesn’t matter how late it is, okay?” Josh told his wife affectionately as he extended one arm to hug her.

“As my mother said, you’re only going through this because you brought our daughter into the world. I’m responsible for looking after you for the rest of our lives.”
