Revenge of the Hideous Lady (Xyla Quest)
Chapter 2005

Before Stanley Batton could do anything, Sharon Lindt quickly stepped forward, shoving the bouquet of roses into her son's hands before gently touching Xyla Quest's stomach. "What happened? Did you cause a tear? Why are you so reckless? You just went through a cesarean delivery! There's still a long, deep wound on your stomach that hasn't healed yet."

The others formed a huge circle around Xyla's bed with worried looks on their faces, causing the air around her to become a lot thinner.

Even the lights grew dimmer since there were so many surrounding her.

Xyla felt like the luckiest woman in the world when she saw how concerned they all were.

"Yeah, you're way too reckless," Georgie Clementine said.

"Are you all right? Will your wound tear open again? Maybe I should get the nurse," Sebastian Brenand sounded equally worried.

Seeing Xyla like that, he unexpectedly felt wary about having children. Perhaps, he might not want any after all.

Likewise, Henry Armstrong also felt traumatized by this incident and promptly decided he wouldn't want a second child.

He didn't even know what to do once the first child was delivered.

It involved too much suffering.

"Sebastian, I think you should get the nurse to come and check on Xyla. It would be bad if her wound was torn open," Jeremy Quest told him.

"I think so too," Wilson spoke up. "Xyla, you ought to be more careful and don't move around unnecessarily."

"That's right, Xyla, you're in a fragile state. You must be very careful," Sharon said.

Sebastian wordlessly nodded and was about to find a nurse before Xyla stopped him.

"Sebastian, come back."

He halted in his tracks and looked at her. "What is it?"

"I'm fine. I didn't use much force so I didn't tear anything. You don't need to trouble the nurses," she said with a chuckle.

"That won't do. I need to make sure," he replied.

"I am fine. Just listen to me," she insisted.

"Are you sure?" he volleyed back in a doubtful tone.

"Of course, it's my body. I know better than anyone. Don't forget that I'm a doctor too."

He stopped walking, returning to his

spot before he started nagging. "Since you're a doctor, you should be aware of the things to take note of after giving birth."

"All right, all right, I know," Xyla said and nodded.

Everyone already spoke the things that were on Stanley's mind, so he hadn't spoken up until now.

Just as he was about to, Rachel Wood spoke first. "How is your body? How do you feel right now?"

Xyla chuckled. "I'm fine, just feeling a little weak."

Rachel immediately placed a

container of bird's nest on the

nightstand. "Here's some bird's.net

nests. You should eat some to get better."

Soon, everyone began to offer their gifts.

"I brought some bird's nests too. You must eat more of these to help with your postpartum recovery," Georgie Clementine said.

"Wilson and brought you some

bird's nests, too. There are also

various other supplements for net

postpartum recovery. I'll cook these for you in time," Sharon said.
