Revenge of the Hideous Lady (Xyla Quest) novel Chapter 1918

There was a warm sensation in her stomach, almost as if something warm was flowing through her.

It felt very comforting for Xyla Quest.

She subconsciously touched the part of her stomach that felt warm, where her baby was.

Xyla knew fetal movement occurred a few months into the pregnancy, but she had never heard anyone describing the feeling as such.

Aside from the comforting sensation, Xyla quickly checked her pulse to see if her vital signs were normal.

Upon checking, she realized that she was unnecessarily worried and there was nothing wrong with her body.

She immediately sighed in relief.

Sensing that something was amiss with Xyla, Gary Lakes asked, “What’s wrong? Do you feel unwell?”

She shook her head. “No, I’m fine.”

Gary sighed in relief. “That’s great. Stanley will kill me if anything happens to you while you’re out with me."

“That’s a bit over the top,” she chuckled.

“Of course, it isn’t. Who in Atlantis doesn’t know that you are the apple of his eye?” Gary said with a solemn expression.

Xyla’s heart instantly swelled with pride when she heard this.

Soon, the waiter began to serve all the dishes Sophie had ordered.

The roasted pork, the largest dish, occupied the center of the table, surrounded by the rest of the dishes.

Every single dish looked and smelled glorious.

“Really?” Sophie asked eagerly.

“Yes.”

“But I’m not interested in anything except to stay by Xyla’s side as her bodyguard,” she replied.

Gary scrutinized her in contemplation. “Isn’t there anything else you want in life?”

She shook her head. “Not for now. I just want to be around Xyla all the time,” she answered without hesitation.

That was her mission, and deep down, she felt that it was right because she genuinely liked Xyla.

“Honestly, there are many things you could do. For example, you could study or work,” Gary told her. "With your traits, you could easily become a popular celebrity in Xyla’s company.”

However, Sophie shook her head again. “It’s fine, I still want to stay by Xyla’s side, though.”
