Revenge of the Hideous Lady (Xyla Quest)
Chapter 1179

Xyla Quest had given Adam Shaw a second chance at life.

"Tell me, what's the name of the rich kid who bullied you previously?" Xyla asked.

"Cody Lester..."

Xyla found this name awfully familiar.

After carefully thinking about it, she finally recalled. This person's father was the owner of the second-largest hospital franchise in the country, Lester Hospital. His name was Cayden Carose. Cayden's parents were both people who were akin to the royal family.

That explained why Cayden's son could boycott Adam in the entire country right away.

However, although the Lester family was powerful, they were nothing compared to the Batton family.

Xyla remarked to herself to avenge Adam on this.

If Cody Lester offended Adam, that meant he offended Xyla...

Right then, the waiters placed the stuff they ordered on the table, including a two-sectioned pot and a bunch of ingredients...

Soon, the entire table was filled...

After igniting the fire under the pot, a waiter left with the rest. The large private room was left with the two of them.

As soon as the fire was ignited, the water in the pot started to boil.

Xyla began putting ingredients into the pot.

Meanwhile, Adam opened another bottle of free, high-class white wine and drank all of it. Although he was happy about his career prospects, he was still feeling sad about his love life. Although he knew that woman was not good, they had been together for six years...

Now, he still couldn't completely forget about her. He couldn't stop feeling the pain completely. Nobody who'd ever loved fiercely could quickly forget the sadness of breaking up.

Xyla knew exactly how Adam felt.

Frankly, loving someone for such a long time was like fusing one's heart with that person...

To thoroughly give up on that person, one needed to suffer from the heartbreak.

After putting the ingredients in the pot, Xyla put her utensils down and looked at Adam again. "Stop being like this. When one door closes, another opens. Look at me. Didn't I once nearly die because of Tom? What about now? I've already forgotten about him... Now, I can't even be bothered to look at Tom.

"Nothing in this world won't come to pass," Xyla added.

Adam nodded...

However, he didn't say anything. Instead, he continued to drink alcohol.

Everybody knew about profound logic as such. However, it was difficult to stop oneself from feeling these minor emotions.

Adam knew that he shouldn't feel bad for a person like his ex-girlfriend, and he also knew she didn't deserve him. He should forget her as quickly as possible...

However, he just couldn't do it.

Adam believed that he needed time.

"Tomorrow, you'll start working on setting up your hospital. Look for a good spot. After that, sort out all the procedures necessary for setting up a hospital, and buy the things you need...

"For now, try to keep yourself a little busier. People tend to think less when they're busy," Xyla added.

"It won't work..." Adam said.

"Why not?" Xyla asked.
