Revenge of the Hideous Lady (Xyla Quest)
Chapter 2040

Strong winds were blowing outside, and snow began to fall heavily.

The sudden change in weather filled Sharon Lindt's eyes with shock. "Could the change in weather outside be related to him?"

After all, it was too much of a coincidence.

Yaksha had left mysteriously, and this happened immediately after.

Stanley Batton, who had encountered this mystical sight back at Yaksha's place, was calm and collected.

Xyla Quest reacted the same way.

Although she wasn't sure exactly what happened, she knew it was related to Yaksha somehow.

"Yes," Stanley said.

Xyla didn't react because she had expected all this.

Meanwhile, Sharon had only been introduced to the mystical realm a while ago. Her heart was pounding.

Everything that happened today confused her greatly.

If somebody had told her that the weather could change because of a single person, she wouldn't have believed them.

She might even secretly think that person was crazy.

However, Sharon now knew that everything was possible in this world and that human knowledge was only the tip of the iceberg. There were many more outrageous things in the world, things that couldn't be experienced by ordinary humans.

"The person he's asking for help from probably showed up," Stanley guessed.

"Who is that person? Is it a saint?" Sharon asked.

"I don't know," he replied calmly.

Yaksha was overly mysterious. Nobody could guess anything about him.

"It must be a very powerful entity even if it's not a saint," Sharon commented.

Xyla remained silent, but she was also extremely curious right then.

Despite the drastic weather change, the two children in the ward behaved as if they had no idea what was going on.

They continued to kick their feet while laughing, seemingly happy.

Xyla felt as if her heart was melting when she saw this.

Seeing them like this made her want to offer them the world.

However, she didn't know if she had the chance to accompany them for a long time since the nine-tailed demon fox was very hostile.

Xyla and Stanley's fates were uncertain. She could only hope that the calamities would arrive a little later.

She wanted to spend more happy and peaceful days with Stanley and their children away from any trouble. She only hoped for a peaceful life.

Before this, Xyla felt that a stable life was something accomplished easily.

However, she now discovered that it wasn't the case.

Inhaling deeply, Xyla felt a myriad of emotions again.

Approximately half an hour later, the weather became normal again.

The sudden blizzard adorned the entire world in silver.

The entire city was covered in a thick blanket of snow that came up to one's calves.

As the weather returned to normal again, Yaksha walked into the ward to inform them that he had acquired the teleport amulets.

The next day, Yaksha brought Xyla and Stanley to the morgue using the teleport amulet where Jeremy Quest's body rested.

Xyla's face was pale as she sat in a wheelchair.

The morgue was huge, and it was a standalone facility.

Inside the room, the air-conditioner was on full blast. It felt extremely cold.

Several lamps on the ceiling emitted harsh, white light, making the world feel unusually cold.

Right then, Jeremy's body lay on a small white bed in the middle of the room.

There was a thick layer of white cloth over his body.

Seeing that, Xyla felt the aching sensation in her chest return as if she was being stabbed painfully.

Her father had died so suddenly that it was something she still couldn't accept.

Xyla truly hated the nine-tailed demon fox, as well as herself in her past life.

What terrible things had she done to make herself and her family go through all this, including her father's death?

The demon fox didn't have to hurt her father.

It should've gone for Xyla instead.

Suddenly, Xyla started crying again.

Watching her being sad put Stanley in a terrible mood, too.

She started wheeling herself toward Jeremy's corpse, accidentally tearing the wound on her stomach again when she used her hands to move.

Her face became even more pale, but she didn't care. Instead, she bit her lips forcefully and slowly lifted the white cloth off her father.

The moment it was lifted, she could see Jeremy's lifeless face.

He was no longer smiling as he did in her memories. Instead, his face was chillingly lifeless.

Xyla's tears began streaming down her face.

Trembling, she bit her lips and held onto his hand. "I am here, Dad. I miss you so much. I wish you could come back to life," she whispered.

the most. Get up, I'll eat hot pot with you, all right?

"I'm sorry I didn't spend enough time with you when you were around. I always thought I had more time to spend with you. I thought I was still young and needed to focus on my career. That's why I spent most of my time working.

"If I had known this would happen, would've spent more time with you.

"Can you please come back, Dad? Look at me, even if it's only for one last time."

After Xyla finished speaking, countless wonderful memories popped up in her mind, making her recall past events.

She suddenly remembered a lot of things that she thought were lost forever.

In her memories, her father was always kind and always putting her first.

Her biggest dream was to have him walk her down the aisle.

However, this dream would never be realized.

Xyla didn't even have the chance to bid her father farewell since he had left so suddenly.

After taking another deep breath, she rested her head on Jeremy's body and bawled her eyes out.

She couldn't accept the fact that he was ice cold.

In the end, Xyla cried so hard that it felt as if her heart was breaking into pieces.

With each sob, she could feel the pain from her wound.

However, that didn't stop her from crying at all.
