Revenge of the Hideous Lady (Xyla Quest)
Chapter 2004

At eight o'clock in the morning, Xyla Quest opened her eyes in a dazed state.

Despite falling asleep, she wasn't in a deep slumber. Her subconscious mind was active, dreaming multiple times all the way through.

Now that she was awake, though, she couldn't remember much other than her children had survived in one of her dreams, even all grown up. They seemed adorable and likable; the older brother looked handsome, while the younger twin sister looked pretty.

They bore all the positive traits of both Xyla and Stanley Batton.

Upon opening her eyes, she was disappointed to realize that it was all just a dream.

She woke up to find Stanley still sitting by her bed, ruffling her hair as he gazed tenderly at her.

He seemed exhausted, judging by his red-rimmed eyes.

Xyla felt sorry to see him like this.

She moved her slightly aching arms. "You look so tired. Didn't you get any rest?"

He softly cradled her face. "I couldn't sleep. I was worried that something might suddenly happen to you or our children."

Hearing that, her heart melted again.

Compared to most men, Stanley was undoubtedly the most considerate one.

He appeared cold and emotionless on the outside most times, yet he was a completely different man in front of Xyla and their children.

He would undoubtedly score full marks if he had been graded as a husband or a father.

"In that case, you should get some rest," she told him out of concern.

"I will."

Knock, knock, knock.

The sudden noise disrupted the peace and tranquility in the room while also interrupting their conversation.

Right after that, the door opened to reveal Sharon Lindt entering with a bouquet of white roses.

Several others followed after her, including Jeremy Quest, Betty Starmount, Sophie Kenwick, Wilson Batton, Henry Armstrong, Georgie Clementine, Rachel Wood, Sebastian Brenand, Gary Lakes, Josh Batton, and Annabeth Cates.

Josh was the last to enter, sporting a loose black coat over a black

A straw hat covered nearly half of his face, as well as a black face mask that covered the rest.

It was a discreet way of dressing that his face could barely be seen at all.

However, his tall and muscular physique made people notice him right away.

Nobody showed up empty-handed; they brought all sorts of supplements and expensive fruit baskets.

Each visitor wore unreadable expressions, though, seemingly sad when it should be the contrary.
