Revenge of the Hideous Lady (Xyla Quest) novel Chapter 812

Xyla Quest picked up the call at once.

“Sister-in-law, can you do me a favor?” A familiar voice rang from the speaker.

“What happened?” Xyla asked.

“I’m stuck in one of the washrooms at Atlantis International Airport. There are thousands of fans outside, and I can’t reach Chief Clementine…” Ear-splitting screams could be heard over the other end of the phone as Josh Batton tried to explain the situation to Xyla.

“I’ll send someone there to pick you up,” said Xyla.

After that, she hung up the phone and searched for Georgie’s contact.

Right at that moment, Stanley Batton came out from the kitchen.

Hearing Xyla’s anxious voice, he quickened his pace to Xyla and asked, “What’s going on?”

“Josh is trapped in the airport washroom. Thousands of fans are blocking the door, so he can’t get out of there,” Xyla explained.

“I’ll ask Zack to check it out.”

Following that statement, Stanley called Zack Cassidy and recounted the situation to him.

After reminding Zack to bring some bodyguards with him, he hung up the phone and gently stroked Xyla’s hair. “Don’t worry about it. He’ll be back soon.”

“Thanks, hubby.” Xyla smiled and gave Stanley a warm hug, her voice sweet and sappy.

“It’s the least I can do. Continue with your game. I’ll go back to help Mom first, hmm?” Stanley softly said.

Xyla nodded obediently.

Stanley ruffled her hair again, then went back to the kitchen.

The doorbell rang about an hour later.

Xyla happened to end her third round of the game at that instant.

She immediately rose to her feet and darted to the smart door viewer.

Xyla followed closely behind him.

The men in black left the house after placing the items in the living room.

Xyla and Josh sat down on the couch.

The bags of supplements had occupied the coffee table to the brim. There was barely any space left to put anything else.

“Where are the others?” Josh scanned the house.

Xyla smiled. “They’re busy cooking in the kitchen.”

“I shall help them out.” Josh got up from the couch and headed straight to the kitchen.

The Batton family prepared the meal while Xyla played her games. She had tried to enter the kitchen once but was once again forcefully kicked out of there.

Having no other choice, she returned to the living room and continued playing her games.
