The Ugly Lady Strikes Back novel Chapter 645

Meanwhile, Michael Gabriel sat beside him and gently consoled Canelo.

Xyla Quest couldn’t hear what they were saying clearly. When she saw Canelo crying like this, she subconsciously thought it must have been because of the pain. She quickly walked up to the bed.

“Canelo? How are you doing? Does it hurt a lot?” Xyla asked.

“No, it doesn’t.” Canelo shook her head.

“Then, why are you crying?” Xyla asked.

“He felt sorry for the team for hurting his wrist during such a crucial period. He’s afraid that the team might lose without even getting to play…” Michael said.

“Boss… Please, can you take my place? There isn’t anyone who can substitute me in the team. If I really can’t play, it’s over,” Canelo begged fervently as he held onto Xyla’s hand.

Xyla knew that Stanley hadn’t returned yet. If he were home, he would always leave a light on even if he was asleep.

Hence, she turned on her computer and filled in the details to register as a professional League of Legend gamer through a form Michael had sent to her email.

After doing so, she sent the details in an email to Michael.

Once she was done with all of this, she satisfactorily turned her computer off. She was ready to head upstairs for a bath before she continued working.

Right then, she heard a car stopping outside.

Knowing that Stanley must be home, she immediately walked over to the door and opened it.

When she opened the door, she was stunned—
