Revenge of the Hideous Lady (Xyla Quest) novel Chapter 793

Xyla Quest finally understood how being away from Stanley Quest made them miss each other even more.

Late into the night, Stanley reluctantly stopped having sex with Xyla. Carefully, he held her in his arms.

Xyla allowed him to hold her. She felt as if the bones in her body had melted away, and she didn’t dare to even move.

Stanley gently caressed her face before affectionately giving her a peck on the forehead. “Do you want to take a bath?” He asked.

“Yes…” After answering him, Xyla’s gaze unintentionally landed on Stanley’s right arm.

She was able to see several clear needle scars near his elbow.

Xyla’s eyes vibrated, and she sat herself upright before tugging at his right arm to examine the needle scars around his elbow. “What happened? Why are there needle scars?”

“It’s nothing… I caught a cold when I was overseas. They had to give me a drip several times,” Stanley said.

“Why didn’t you tell me you got sick?” Xyla asked.

“I didn’t want you to worry…” Stanley said.

After that, Stanley slowly got out of bed. He then carried her in his arms. “Come on, let’s take a bath…”

The two of them took a hot bath together in the bathtub.

After cleaning herself up, Xyla returned to the room. She sat in front of the dressing table and started applying skincare products on herself.

Stanley, on the other hand, silently returned to bed.

After covering himself under the duvet, he gently rolled his sleeve up and looked at the needle scars…

Very soon, a frown appeared on his face.

After staring at the needle scars for a long while, he finally came back to his senses. He rubbed his forehead exhaustedly before lying down.

Once Xyla was done with her skincare routine, she returned to bed and naturally nestled herself in Stanley’s arms.

Stanley carefully held her and repeatedly kissed her forehead.
