Revenge of the Hideous Lady (Xyla Quest) novel Chapter 1742

It was Zack Cassidy…

Stanley Batton immediately answered the call.

“Mr. Batton, you’re not asleep yet,” Zack said.

“Not yet. What’s the matter?” Stanley asked.

“Nothing much. I just wanted to ask if I could take leave to return to my hometown…

“My mother just called. She said my father doesn’t have much time left…” Zack said.

He sounded like he had been crying.

When Stanley heard this, his facial expression instantly became stern.

He quickly handed over the food in his hands to Xyla Quest.

After that, he took a step forward. “Okay… Take my private helicopter… You can use any of my resources… You don’t have to inform me what you’ve used,” Stanley said.

In a luxury bedroom on the other side, Zack’s eyes filled with tears when he heard this…

He instantly sniffed and tried to maintain his masculine composure. “Alright… Thank you, Mr. Batton…”

After that, Zack hung up.

When he recalled what Stanley said, he immediately felt warmth spread in his chest.

He silently swore in his heart that, as long as Stanley didn’t fire him, he’d forever stay by Stanley’s side and do whatever he was told.

He’d never abandon Stanley or give up on him…

After overhearing the conversation, Xyla felt panicked. She seemed shocked.

“Why don’t we send a specialist to Zack’s hometown? What if his father can still be saved?” Xyla asked after taking a deep breath.

Stanley frowned deeply. “There’s no need… His father has advanced cancer. It has spread to the rest of his body. I’ve sent many specialists to check on him, but nothing’s helped…”

“Does that mean only death awaits him?” Xyla asked.

“Yeah…” Stanley uttered.

Xyla felt awful when she heard this…

Although Zack’s father was a stranger she’d never met, she couldn’t help but feel affected by his impending doom.
