Revenge of the Hideous Lady (Xyla Quest) novel Chapter 1623

After eating the nutritious breakfast Josh Batton had prepared for her, Annabeth Cates walked down the stairs while rubbing her lower abdomen…

She decided to go on a stroll somewhere…

Without realizing it, she ended up in the hospital’s garden.

After entering the garden, Annabeth saw a woman in her early thirties pushing a small boy, who seemed to be around three or four, on the swing from afar…

The woman had her head lowered while she pushed the child, and the child kept laughing loudly.

The heart-warming scene immediately made Annabeth’s heart ache.

Annabeth thought about how this might have been a moment shared between her and her child if he or she survived.

Unfortunately…

This child couldn’t be brought into this world.

Annabeth’s eyes immediately turned red when she thought of this.

“I’m sorry…” Annabeth looked down and murmured as she gently rubbed her lower abdomen.

The heart-warming moment between the mother and son, who were not far away, continued…

The happier the two looked together, the worse Annabeth felt.

***

Seven days later, Josh finally allowed Annabeth to leave the hospital.

At a little past two o’clock in the morning, Josh brought Annabeth to the municipal hospital.

The two of them went in through the hospital’s back door…

After arriving, Josh’s friend, Jason Collins, a doctor in the Obstetrics and Gynecology Department, took Annabeth and Josh in. They proceeded with a series of pre-operative examinations…

Once the examinations were done, Jason brought the two of them back to his office.

As soon as they entered, Jason asked the two of them to sit in front of a coffee table.
