Revenge of the Hideous Lady (Xyla Quest) novel Chapter 177

Carefully cleaning her wound with the cotton ball, Stanley kept blowing cold air at it. He was as tender as an antique duster.

A surge of warmth spread inside her heart when she looked up to see his focused gaze.

“How is it? Does it hurt?” he asked.

“It doesn’t.” Xyla shook her head.

“Don’t use your hands to pick those up next time.”

“Okay.”

After that, he tossed the cotton ball away and meticulously wrapped her wound with a band-aid.

His actions were swift and gentle.

“Done. Don’t get your wound wet for a period of time, okay?” He looked serious as ever.

Xyla nodded, standing up. “I’ll go and clean up the glass shards.”

“I’ll go.” He got up and walked into the washroom.

Xyla sat back down on the sofa and surfed Weibo.

Weibo’s hottest search ranking was just as interesting as before. Upon entering, the searches were all about scandals involving Emily Quest, Tom Sullivan, and the Sullivan Group.

The news was just as intense as before.

She couldn’t help wondering again just who was the mastermind behind keeping these searches on top of the list for so many days.

Once Stanley was done cleaning up the washroom floor, he returned to sit beside Xyla and picked up his phone.

After unlocking it, the screen immediately displayed the Gentleman’s Club chat room.

Having no idea what had happened above, the group was now filled with shocked and shy emojis.

Stanley was too lazy to scroll back up to read. He simply typed ‘…’.

After that, he was ready to exit.

However, before his finger could tap on the return button, the group chat exploded…

Sebastian texted. “You’re done? But it hasn’t been long!”
