Revenge of the Hideous Lady (Xyla Quest) novel Chapter 2044

Josh Batton and the others reluctantly left the house by noon, leaving behind Xyla Quest, Stanley Batton, Wilson Batton, and Sharon Lindt in the end.

Wilson couldn’t stop gazing at his grandchildren in the nursery.

He picked one up and then the other, an action mimicked by Sharon.

Xyla stood nearby, watching them as she smiled subconsciously.

Thankfully, they’d been around her lately, so she was able to recover so quickly.

The children, especially, were like medicine that could cure everything.

Due to their presence, Xyla wanted to get better, knowing that she needed to take care of herself and not dwell on grief so that her physical health wouldn’t deteriorate.

Women were generally gentle and vulnerable, but mothers were particularly strong and resilient.

Xyla observed the peaceful scene with growing warmth in her heart.

If she could, she wished she could stay in this moment forever.

She craved heartfelt moments like this.

She didn’t want it to stop.

Stanley's heart ached upon noticing his wife's presence, standing there for a spell. He hastily lifted her into his arms.

“Your postpartum recovery period just ended. You shouldn’t be on your feet for too long.”

Xyla felt touched by his concern. “I'm fine. The recovery period is already over. I can move around freely.”

Sharon shook her head immediately. “No, you should keep physical activity at a minimum. Your body is still weak.”

Later, Sharon walked up to Xyla and sat next to her. “Be a good girl. Honestly, you should recuperate for another month, but you insisted on ending the postpartum recovery period.

"I was willing to compromise, but then you need to compromise as well. You need to be off your feet during this period. Nothing must happen to you because you’re so important to us in the family,” Sharon said.

“I only gave birth. It’s not that big a deal,” Xyla countered.

However, Sharon’s gaze turned serious. “What do you mean ‘only’ gave birth? It’s a huge deal!”

“I know, but it’s been a month. I’m fine now.”

“No. If you won’t listen to me, I’m going to be upset,” Sharon said firmly.

“All right, fine.”

Xyla didn’t want to reject Sharon’s kindness.
