Revenge of the Hideous Lady (Xyla Quest) novel Chapter 2403

“Is this Mrs. Batton?”

The caller was Leon Batton’s class teacher.

“Yes, speaking,” Xyla Quest replied with a frown.

“Has Leon recovered? When will he be returning to school?”

Her eyes widened in shock when she heard this.

When did her son fall sick?

With a sinking feeling, she instantly knew what was going on.

Leon was probably playing hooky and came up with the lie of falling sick to get out of attending classes.

That was unexpected and shocking to her.

Her eldest had always been a good student since he was a kid. He was a model student in the eyes of his teachers and peers.

She never had to worry about Leon academically.

So, what happened to him?

Why was he playing hooky?

Could it be due to teenage rebellion?

“Yeah, he’s almost fully recovered,” she lied, covering for her son because she hoped to sort things out privately.

She didn’t want to leave a poor impression on him in front of his teacher.

“How could he have caught a cold and not recovered for an entire week? What happened to him?” his class teacher asked.

A week?

That made Xyla feel even more taken aback.

How did he skip school for an entire week?

What had he been doing all week?

Moreover, why hadn’t Lynette Batton told her about it since they were in the same class?
