Revenge of the Hideous Lady (Xyla Quest)
Chapter 741

He took another puff on his cigarette and gritted his teeth at the night skies. "Rachel... Where the hell are you... I miss you so much!"

Buzz buzz buzz...

Right at that moment, his phone vibrated again.

Seeing Jean Hanson's name on the screen, he sprang from the couch and answered the call right away. "Jean, is there any update about Rachel?" "Master Sebastian, I just found out that Miss Rachel has gone back to her hometown, Edgewater."

"Address. Give me her address now!"

"I'll send it to you on WeChat."

***

Sebastian Brenand received the address from Jean within a second or two.

Without hesitation, he took his private plane and flew to Edgewater.

It was four o'clock in the morning when he arrived at her hometown.

As soon as the plane landed, he rented a car at the airport and sped right to Rachel Wood's house like a brat losing his mind.

Rachel's house was located in an ordinary neighborhood in the district.

There was no one guarding the neighborhood. People could just walk in and out of the neighborhood freely.

The lights in most of the apartments were switched off at this hour.

There were only a few houses that had their lights on.

Sebastian drove into the neighborhood, anxiously roaming through the streets. Finally, he managed to find the building where Rachel and her family were staying.

Though it was late, and he was exhausted, Sebastian could not contain his excitement when he saw that building. His sleepiness was all gone.

He looked up at the sixth floor. Rachel must be somewhere there.

There was a room in that building with the light on.

That warm yellow light was wonderfully soothing.

At that moment, Sebastian felt like he was rescued. Lost in the ocean with no lights, he was a lost boy enveloped by total darkness. He finally found a glint of light in his life, comforting his empty heart. All the anxiety, frustration, and uneasiness that overwhelmed him had all vanished now.

He began to wonder where the light came from. Was it from Rachel's room?

If he was right, what was she doing in her room in the middle of the night? Was it just like what he used to see when he went to find her? A little kitten sitting on the bed and playing with her phone? Thinking about the beautiful memories between them warmed his heart instantaneously.

If that bright room was not Rachel's, she must be sleeping right now, right?

When she was alone, would she toss and turn all night like him?

When she dreamed about them, would she be awakened by distress like how he did?

The idea of his misery happening on her wrung his heart.

While he was lost in his thoughts, the sky was getting brighter.

People began to come out of the building.

His luxury Bentley Coupe had garnered a lot of attention from the residents. They either stopped in their tracks or secretly turned around to study his car.

Stanley lowered his car window and continued to stare at her house. He then lit a cigarette and took a drag at it from time to time.

He peeked at the time. It was six o'clock in the morning.

He decided to go up and knock on her door at seven o'clock.

Just when he was about to puff at the cigarette, the door of the building's main entrance was pushed open.

The woman he had longed for came into his sight.

She was wearing a white faux fur housecoat with a large garbage bag in her hand. Her face was bare but soft and tender.

There was not any aggressiveness on her. She was just like an obedient, white little cat.

She had lost a lot of weight compared to the last time he saw her, which broke his heart.

Sebastian's eyes were rimmed with red the moment he saw her.

He could not believe that the woman standing in front of him right now was the one running across his mind day and night for the past half month! The luxury car had instantly caught Rachel's eyes too.

She subconsciously glanced at the car.

Once again, memories of her in Atlantis came flooding back, details after details.
