Revenge of the Hideous Lady (Xyla Quest) novel Chapter 1847

Stanley Batton felt increasingly confused from the depths of his heart.

He immediately looked up toward Sophie Kenwick while she cheerfully skipped away.

She seemed so familiar from behind, as well.

As he gazed at her, an unfamiliar scene appeared before his eyes.

He was in a traditional-looking room, where a girl wearing a red silk robe was playing a string instrument with her back to him.

The tune she played was the tune Sophie was humming along just then.

The unfamiliar scene disappeared as suddenly as it appeared, not giving him enough time to verify that the girl was Sophie.

What was going on?

Was he hallucinating, or was this part of his forgotten memories?

Was that girl in the vision Sophie?

If she was, what was the nature of their relationship?

When Xyla Quest saw her husband's distraction, she immediately grasped his hand. “Darling, what’s wrong with you? What happened?” she asked softly.

Why did he act so strangely after the young girl showed up?

She had never seen Stanley act this way before.

Stanley suddenly recovered himself as he stopped feeling the intense pain in his heart.

Taking a deep breath, he frowned as he peered at Xyla. “I just feel… I feel like I know Sophie.”

“What do you mean?” Xyla seemed shocked.

“Yeah. Besides, she must be someone who can tug at my heartstrings,” he said.

Xyla nodded again in agreement.

“Be nice to her,” Stanley told his wife.

If Sophie could tug at his heartstrings, she must have been part of his family in their past lives at the very least.

He wanted to treat her well.

“Yes, I know.” Before he had even said so, Xyla had already decided to take care of her.

Sophie had already lost her father and had a painful past. This world needed to treat her kindly and compassionately.

“What if she was your lover in your past lives? Would you feel awful if you recalled everything?” Xyla asked jokingly.
