Revenge of the Hideous Lady (Xyla Quest)
Chapter 814

Stanley Batton remained silent the entire time. The room was so quiet one could hear a pin drop. After the pulse check, Ron Batton let out a deep sigh. "You'd better go find that guy once more..."

"I know." Stanley Batton nodded. "I'm going tomorrow."

"I'll stay here with you until you get better," Ron added.

"I'm sorry for making you worried, Grandpa." Stanley frowned slightly.

Ron sighed and gently patted his shoulder, his eyes rimmed with red. "Silly kid, I'm your Grandpa. Of course, I'm worried about you. Unlike your siblings, you've gone through a lot since you were a kid. Sigh..." "Are you sure you want to hide it from Xyla?" Ron continued, "She'll find out about it anyway."

"Let's just hide it for now. At least she's happy that way, right?" Stanley added, "You should get some rest, Grandpa. It's getting late."

Sighing once more, Ron got up from the couch and went upstairs.

Stanley did not follow him. He reached for the teapot on the coffee table and poured himself a cup of osmanthus tea, elegantly savoring it.

After finishing the cup of tea, he finally left the empty living room and headed to his bedroom.

Meanwhile, Xyla Quest was taking a bath with her mask on and listening to music simultaneously.

She was playing 'City in the Sky' again.

She was hooked on this song recently. She loved to listen to it at night, especially when she was taking a bath.

This song was like the remedy for her exhaustion.

The bathtub was full of snow-white foam, and her body was completely submerged in it, revealing only her fair arms and her sexy collarbone.

Seeing that there was no one in the bedroom, Stanley strode to the bathroom and took a look inside it.

When he saw Xyla was taking a bath, he took off his clothes and stepped into the bathtub, sitting next to her.

Xyla's stomach knotted as soon as she saw the man.

Her heart stumbled over its rhythm, and pulse began beating in her ears, blocking out all other sounds.

"What were you talking about with Grandpa?" Xyla steadied her heartbeat and asked.

Stanley pulled her into his arms. "Nothing much..."

Xyla did not pursue the matter. She surrendered to his secure embrace, enjoying the peace that she had been longing for.

However, the man soon started to do something nonsensical again.

He broke the silence in the bathroom.

Water overflowed from the bathtub, and the foam was all over the floor...

Meanwhile, Georgie Clementine was sitting in front of the computer in her luxurious study room, completing her virtual husband's daily tasks, Cloud Piercer.

The two of them were currently fighting against the boss.

They were wearing the newly released limited edition white couple robes in the game, making a great pair.

Their usernames kept appearing in the national chat:

"Have you seen Extraordinary Geo and Cloud Piercer's outfits? They've bought the new limited edition couple robes, which cost thirty thousand dollars! That's insane," Little Fish exclaimed. "Cloud Piercer is very generous to his wife. He must be really rich," Axe-man hissed.

"The good men always belong to the others. I'm so jealous! Sob..." Shaving Ice cried.

Georgie was tired of their pointless comments.

The players would mention their names every time Cloud Piercer bought her a new gift.

Suddenly, Cloud Piercer sent her a message.

"We've known each other for quite some time. Don't you think it's time for us to meet each other in real life?"

When Georgie saw the message, her chest grew so tight it was hard to breathe.

She was in love with his virtual husband. She had thought of meeting him in real life too.

Georgie took a deep breath and typed. "Sure."

"What city are you in?" Cloud Piercer asked.
