Revenge of the Hideous Lady (Xyla Quest) novel Chapter 268

“I have a pair of scissors in my room. If this doesn’t work, let’s use it,” said Xyla.

She could not stand being stuck so closely to Stanley. If this continued, she was afraid that her heart might stop beating.

“Alright. Come with me, slowly,” said Stanley while he led her into the room.

Xyla pointed at the nightstand. “The scissors are in the drawer of my nightstand.”

Without saying a word, Stanley slowly led her to the bed and the two of them sat down together. Carefully, he reached out to the drawer to get the scissors. As soon as he moved, Xyla yelped in pain.

“Wait a second. It hurts…” she said.

Still staying silent, Stanley pressed her head naturally against his chest while he reached for the scissors. In this affectionate pose, a multitude of feelings were growing at a rapid rate. Xyla began to feel an itch in her heart. There was also a numbing sensation.

Soon, Stanley was able to grab the scissors. He carefully cut off that strand of hair before putting the scissors down and gently pushing Xyla away.

“It’s done,” he said.

Xyla sighed in relief before nudging away a little further, trying to put as much distance between them as possible. Meanwhile, she had no idea that she was sitting on a corner of his robe and the string attached to it.

Still feeling pain on her scalp, Xyla gently rubbed her head. However, she did not dare look Stanley in the eyes right then. Instead, she turned to look at the nighttime scenery outside the window.

“Thank you,” she said.

“Does your scalp hurt?” Stanley asked gently.

“Yes,” she replied with a nod.

“Let me see.”

“It’s okay…”

But before she could finish her sentence, Stanley forcefully tilted her head to one side and examined her scalp. Due to the constant tugging, that part of her scalp had turned slightly red.

“It’s turned a little red, but it’s fine. I’ll rub it for you,” he said while frowning a little and gently rubbing her head.

It felt as if his fingers contained an endless amount of electricity. Wherever he touched her, Xyla felt a tingling sensation. She even forgot to breathe. The most exciting moments usually happened unintentionally.

“It’s okay. I can do it myself…”
