Revenge of the Hideous Lady (Xyla Quest) novel Chapter 426

“Are you sure? Why do I feel like there’s something wrong with both of you? Why didn’t you ask for a caregiver when you were injured last time?” Georgie Clementine pursued on.

She moved toward Xyla Quest’s bed and sat near the edge. Stretching her arm out, she casually placed it around Xyla’s shoulder, pulling Xyla close to her.

“As you said, that was before. The current situation is completely different as he now has a girlfriend. His girlfriend would be depressed if she found out that Stan had been taking care of me.”

Xyla smiled bitterly, looking exceptionally lonely and gloomy.

Her heart began to throb again when she mentioned Stanley’s relationship. Breathing became difficult and she felt like she was constantly out of breath.

Georgie’s eyes were able to capture all the changes in her expression perfectly. Her utter dismay was reflected in her eyes. “Xyla… Do you… Do you have a thing for Stanley Batton?”

Another bitter smile was Xyla’s response, the girl refusing to deny nor answer with words.

Despite the silence, her expressions and reactions said it all. Her answer was clear as day.

Georgie’s immediate response was to turn Xyla’s body to face hers, both her hands clasped firmly on Xyla’s shoulders. Though a serious expression was etched on her face, Georgie’s eyes expressed only sincerity as she spoke her next line. “Xyla… Didn’t you tell me that you’d be careful? That you wouldn’t let yourself fall for that man?”

“Both of you live in completely different worlds. You shouldn’t mess with this kind of person. Under the guise of a temporary husband, I wouldn’t worry at all. However, you can never let him become your real husband.” The seriousness in her tone was only amplified with each word she spoke.

“Your words bear the truth and I’m sure everyone else would agree… But feelings and emotions can be difficult to control.” Xyla sighed in her helpless position.

“That is true Xyla, but you were never meant to be together with him. He doesn’t deserve you.” Georgie explained, her advice coming straight from her heart.

Xyla’s response was a heavy sigh. “There’s no point talking about it now. He has a girlfriend anyway. Stan and I being together is nothing but a mere fantasy at this point. Though I admit that I still have a thing for him, I’m not going to try to confess or do anything to him.”

Georgie’s brows furrowed as she frowned. “Well, thankfully he’s got a girlfriend now. Who knows what would have happened between the two of you?”
