Revenge of the Hideous Lady (Xyla Quest) novel Chapter 805

Xyla Quest did not sleep well that night.

Strange dreams had kept her tossing and turning all night. In her dreams, different people were chasing after her, and she was constantly running for life.

At seven o’clock in the morning, her eyes snapped open.

Ripples of pain seared through her brain in the very next second.

She held her heavy head, her hands subconsciously flailing around the empty spot beside her, only to find that Stanley Batton was not there anymore.

The bedsheet was cold. He must have gotten up long ago.

Xyla casually stretched her arms, then went into the bathroom with confounding buzzing in her head.

When she set foot into the bathroom, her gaze inadvertently fell upon the laundry basket at the corner. There was a bloodstain on the white dress shirt.

She recognized it right away. Stanley wore that shirt yesterday.

Xyla instantly picked up the shirt and took a closer look at the stain.

The bloodstain was near the upper sleeve. It was not big, only about the size of the thumb.

What was this about?

Did he accidentally hurt himself last night?

“Honey, your breakfast is ready.” A cello-like gravelly voice echoed in the room, interrupting her thoughts.

Xyla looked in the direction of the sound and found Stanley standing in the doorway. He was wearing a black silk housecoat, looking elegant yet extraordinary.

Noticing his white shirt in Xyla’s hands, the man strode forward and took the shirt from her, throwing it back into the laundry basket. “Why are you holding my shirt?”

Xyla did not answer his question. She straight away rolled up his sleeves.

Soon, the new injection mark on Stanley’s left arm came into her sight.

She clearly remembered that the mark was not there yesterday morning.

Did he have another infusion?

Was that bloodstain from the infusion?
