Ch. 1711..1720
Chapter 1711 Chapter 1711 Jay Corben sported a very short hairstyle. Since he was going to take part in an event later, he had on very light makeup.
He wore a short, black, casual jacket with a loose white T-shirt on the inside, as well as a pair of black ripped jeans and black boots.
Having worked in the entertainment industry for a long time, Jay seemed much more confident.
He also had a strong presence.
However, his cool, bad-boy vibe hadn't changed at all.
Morty Wayne wore a loose denim jacket and a loose white T-shirt on the inside. Likewise, he also wore a pair of black jeans and camel-colored boots...
Since he was also going to participate in an event, he also had on a similar styled makeup.
In terms of the overall style, Morty seemed much gentler than Jay.
Morty also seemed much more confident and composed than before.
However, his youthfulness hadn't changed at all.
The two of them naturally walked together after getting out of their vans. They walked toward the entrance side by side.
Behind them, Corey Caravan soon caught up.
When they saw Xyla, a gentle look appeared in their eyes.
Xyla stood where she was and smiled at them without leaving.
The sounds of people cheering and screaming around them were deafening- "Ahh... Jay, we love you... Look at me..."
"Morty, you're my one and only... Please be good, will you?"
"Jay and Morty really are a couple..."
"Corey, I love you..."
With everyone screaming and shouting, Xyla felt as if she was about to turn deaf.
Soon, the three of them walked up to Xyla.
"Hey, boss... What a coincidence. You're here at the office too..." Jay said.
"Yeah." Xyla chuckled.
After patting Jay gently on the shoulder, Xyla carefully looked at his face...
His skin had always been good.
However, due to the proper care given as of late, his skin seemed even more smooth and delicate.
"Not bad. It looks like you've been taking care of your skin..." Xyla immediately praised him.
"Yeah..." Jay laughed.
Immediately after that, Xyla turned to look at Morty and Corey.
The two of them also had equally good skin.
Xyla then patted both on their shoulders, "Hmm... You two have done well too... Apart from your innate capabilities, you also have to take care of your appearances as an idol..."
They immediately nodded in agreement...
After that, Xyla directly turned around and walked in through the door.
The three of them quickly followed her inside.
Other people also went after them.
Right then, the fans outside started getting excited again— "Ahh... Our idols are all so obedient in front of Xyla. Even Jay, the naughty one, behaves the same way..."
"Xyla is way too lucky. All handsome men need to line up and listen to her..."
"Sigh... I'm envious. Unfortunately, I'm not lucky enough to have a life like that..."
"Doesn't she look like an emperor in front of a group of concubines when she s them compliments t am I thinking..." Conten belongs to FindNovel.net Ahh...
"I'm just going to say put this out there. We might think a great deal of our idols, but they're only little brothers to Xyla. Her husband is much more handsome thanOur idols..."
Chapter 1712
Chapter 1712
Talking about this made everyone feel even worse...
Suddenly, everyone couldn't find the words to express their jealousy.
Meanwhile, on the other side, Tom Sullivan's ashes had already been buried in the Sullivan family's burial plot.
Tom had disappeared from this world.
After walking into her office, Xyla Quest saw the news that Tom had been buried...
She briefly glanced at it.
After that, she summoned staff from each department in the company to gather for a meeting at the conference room...
***
Xyla left work early because she had to accompany Jeremy Quest for dinner...
It was freezing outside.
It hadn't stopped snowing all day.
Every sanitation worker in Atlantis was kept occupied.
After work, Xyla went to the supermarket to buy some ingredients for the hot pot.
Xyla then gave Stanley Batton a call to tell him that she returned to her father's house for dinner.
After making the call, Xyla carried the stuff she had purchased to the Quest family's house.
The indoors were kept warm at thirty degrees.
On a cold winter day like this, walking into a heated room always made Xyla feel as if she had crossed over from winter to summer...
After removing her coat, she carried the stuff into the living room.
Right then, Jeremy was carefully applying medicine onto Betty Starmount's fingertips.
He gently held onto Betty's wrist with one hand and carefully applied medicine onto her swollen index finger with the other.
To make Betty feel more comfortable, he even used his mouth...
Right then, he was blowing against her wound.
When Xyla saw this, she quickly stepped forward. She put her purse aside and placed the groceries she bought from the supermarket on the ground. "What happened?" She looked at Betty and asked.
"Oh. I accidentally burned myself earlier when I was heating the hot pot base..." Betty said.
After she was done speaking, Betty turned to look at Jeremy's face...
At this moment, Jeremy's movement and the look in his eyes were extremely gentle.
For a moment, Betty lost herself in Jeremy's tenderness.
However, she very quickly recollected herself.
"Be careful next time..." Xyla said.
Xyla could see from her father's behavior that he cared a lot about Betty.
Xyla didn't feel jealous.
As long as her father was happy and Betty was obedient, Xyla was fine with anything.
"I bought some ingredients for the
hot pot, bring them into the
kitchen for the maid to clean up..." With that, Xyla directly entered the kitchen.
Meanwhile, Jeremy finished applying medicine onto Betty's wound.
Betty looked tenderly at Jeremy. "Thank you... Jeremy."
After that, Betty quickly followed Xyla into the kitchen.
Their private chef was busy preparing ingredients for the hot pot inside the kitchen.
He was currently cleaning the ingredients.
There were three pots on the stovetop that were emitting steam.
One contained a spicy red broth, another had a white broth, and t
, which was also boiliet
was covered.
Xyla couldn't see what was inside.
Chapter 1713 Chapter 1713 From the smell, Xyla Quest guessed that it was probably herbal chicken soup or the likes of it.
Betty Starmount helped Xyla move the stuff onto the floor before holding Xyla's hand and leading her to the pot. "I made herbal chicken soup just for you. Have a taste..." "It's great..." Betty added.
'There's something special added to it. You ought to drink more of it.' Betty thought to herself.
Xyla chuckled. "Okay... Sure."
"Ms. Quest... I mean, Xyla... It's tough being pregnant, isn't it?" Betty asked.
"Not too bad. I haven't had any symptoms lately. I've been able to eat, sleep, and drink well..." Xyla said truthfully.
When Betty heard this, she secretly clenched her fists tightly. "I see... Have you felt uncomfortable in any way? I heard that many pregnant women feel uncomfortable during this period..."
Xyla shook her head. "I did feel uncomfortable in the beginning, but it's gone away completely now. Not only that, I feel just as healthy as I was before I was pregnant. My appetite has gotten better..." Betty secretly clenched her fists tightly again when she heard this...
How was this possible?
Xyla had been having breakfast with them recently.
Every morning, Betty would add something to the bird's nest she cooked for Xyla.
Xyla consumed all of them each time.
It'd been such a long time. How could there not be any reaction?
This wasn't normal at all...
However, to prevent Xyla from noticing anything odd about her, Betty quickly stopped thinking. She then lifted the pot's lid and presented Xyla with the boiling herbal chicken soup...
The moment the lid was lifted, the thick scent of herbal chicken made Xyla feel hungry...
"Let me do it. Your hand is injured. You shouldn't be doing any work," Xyla said.
After that, Xyla picked up three bowls and filled them all with the herbal chicken soup...
Once she was done, she placed the bowls on a tray. She then found three spoons and carried everything to the living room.
Xyla placed the tray down in front of Jeremy Quest.
Seeing the herbal chicken soup that Betty had personally cooked made Jeremy feel extremely happy...
Ever since Betty moved in, the house felt more like home.
He liked what she brought to the house.
"Have a sip of this chicken soup to warm your stomach, Dad..." Xyla said.
With that, Xyla sat next to Jeremy. She carefully brought a bowl of chicken soup over to Jeremy.
After that, she placed another bowl of chicken soup next to Jeremy's right hand.
When Betty saw this, she immediately sat down on Jeremy's right. "You two go ahead. I've been feeling a little heaty lately. I can't drink this herbal stuff..."
Xyla nodded gently before she started eating the herbal chicken soup.
Xyla liked the chicken soup Betty cooked.
There weren't any artificial flavors. All the flavors in the soup came from fresh ingredients.
With the right amount of heat during the just right. It was practically the most dag process, the taste soup she'd ever Although Xyla didn't like Betty as a person, she was rather fond of Betty's cooking...
Xyla and Jeremy soon finished eating the chicken soup in their respective bowls.
Meanwhile, Jeremy still craved for more. Hence, he ended up finishing Betty's portion too.
Right then, the doorbell started ringing.
Ding-dong, ding-dong- Xyla knew that Stanley must have arrived...
Hence, she stood up and walked over to the door and looked through the door viewer...
Soon, what Xyla saw through the door viewer frightened her.
Xyla subconsciously took a step back...
She took a deep breath.
Her heart was beating extremely fast...
Chapter 1714 Chapter 1714 One of the family's maids stood outside the door, her face covered in blood...
Upon taking a closer look, Xyla Quest could see that her right eye was injured.
The maid kept her right eye closed tightly.
Blood continued to flow from the corner of her right eye. It was a horrifying sight...
Meanwhile, the maid's other eye was filled with a look of horror.
It seemed as if she had just experienced something terrifying.
Xyla quickly opened the door.
"What on earth happened to you?" Xyla asked as she looked worriedly at the maid.
The maid pointed at the garden behind her while she panted. "I... I was sweeping snow off the cobblestone walkway in the garden. Then, suddenly, something came out from the bush..."
Tortured by the intense pain, the maid was trembling all over.
Her voice was very soft too.
There was a thick layer of cold sweat on her forehead.
She looked like a flower that could fall off a cliff at any moment.
"After that, it crawled onto my face and scratched my right eye... After that, my vision went dark from the pain. The thing then disappeared...
"All I know is that the thing was white and furry. I can't recall anything else...
"This is way too horrifying. We don't have any pets in the house. What exactly was that?
"Oh, right. I even smelled something like sandalwood on that thing..." The maid panted painfully as she spoke weakly.
The more she said, the more horrified she seemed.
She was scared out of her wits.
Clearly, it was too much for her to handle.
Xyla felt very sorry for the maid.
However, she found the things the maid said hard to believe.
A creature with the smell of sandalwood hopped onto the maid's face and scratched her eye.
This was quite an unbelievable story.
Looking closely at the maid's injured right eye, Xyla also found two long scratch marks beneath the traces of blood...
swho It looked like a cat's scratch.
Soon, the maid's voice trembled even Son Miss, please get to take me to the hospital..." ovel.net Xyla immediately nodded while holding the maid's hand. "Okay' take you there right away..."
s to FindNovel et "Thank you, Miss..." The maid's voice was still trembling.
In the next second, her vision turned dark. She passed out right away.
***
The sudden hiccup disrupted the Quest family's plan for a hot pot meal.
Xyla specifically instructed Jeremy to check the surveillance footage near the garden.
After that, she and Stanley personally drove the injured maid to the hospital for emergency rescue.
While the emergency rescue was going on, the two of them didn't leave.
Instead, they waited anxiously outside.
There were many bodyguards in the walkway, but there wasn't a single sound.
A pin-drop silence filled the place.
The quieter it was, the more Xyla pondered.
What could have attacked the maid?
Chapter 1715 Chapter 1715 Why would there be a wild animal in their compound?
Could it have been a neighbor's cat?
Xyla Quest had never heard about such a ferocious cat nearby...
Approximately half an hour later, the municipal hospital's deputy director, Stephen Harris, walked out of the emergency unit...
He pulled his face mask down to his chin.
After that, he walked up to Xyla and Stanley Batton.
Xyla immediately looked up at him. "How is she? Was her eye injured?"
"Did you say that this person told you several things before coming to the hospital?" Stephen asked.
Xyla nodded...
"She really is a werewolf..." Stephen said.
"What do you mean?" Xyla asked.
"Her right eyeball was severely damaged. If you hadn't brought her here in time, she would've basically lost her eye...
"Under those circumstances, she was still able to talk to you for so long. Don't you think she's a werewolf?" Stephen said softly...
Stephen's words gave Xyla the creeps...
Indeed, just thinking about it made one feel the pain.
"Is she fine now? One hundred percent?" Xyla asked curiously.
"Yes..." Stephen said.
At that moment, Xyla instantly felt relieved.
Meanwhile, Stanley, who had remained silent all this time next to her, also sighed in relief.
"Don't worry. She'll be fine as long as she stays in the hospital and gets treated..." Stephen added.
"That's great," Xyla said with a nod.
Beep, beep, beep...
Right then, Xyla received a call from Jeremy...
Xyla immediately picked it up. "Dad... Have you checked the surveillance footage? What scratched her?"
"The place she was at happened to be a blind spot. The surveillance cameras didn't capture a thing. I deliberately checked the timestamp for other surveillance cameras around the house... I haven't noticed anything unusual. Hence, I have no idea what exactly scratched her," Jeremy said.
Jeremy's words made Xyla feel uneasy...
This meant they still couldn't be sure what injured the maid.
It would've been fine if it were a cat...
What if it was something else?
What if there was a ferocious beast that was hiding in their compound? The consequences would be unthinkable.
Xyla immediately took a deep breath and looked at Stephen. "What do you think it was?"
Stephen thought carefully for a second. "I'm not sure either... It looks like a cat's scratch. Oh, right. I discovered several white furs el.net"
beneath her eye... However, they don't feel like cat fur. They aren't dog fur either..."
Xyla took another deep breath. "What is it?" she asked earnestly.
Stephen frowned deeply before thinking carefully for a few seconds. "Whatever it is, it's not cat fur. It's slightly thicker than cat or dog fur Moreover, it has a shine to it... can't pinpoint what it is precisely. You'll have to go to an expert to verify this for yourselves..."
Xyla nodded. "Hmm... Alright. Please give the fur to me when the time comes."
Xyla had to find out what exactly injured the maid.
If it wasn't a cat or a dog, that meant a ferocious beast might be hiding in her own house.
The surveillance cameras didn't capture it.
Xyla couldn't rest assured if she didn't find out...
"Alright..." Stephen nodded.
"Oh, right. Are you going to pay for her hospitalization fees? Or is she going to do it herself?"
"She got hurt in our house. So naturally, we'll pay for it..." Xyla said.
Seemingly lost in thought, Stanley waved at the bodyguards next to him...
One of them stepped forward respectfully and lowered his head...
"Make the payment," Stanley said sparingly. His tone was dominant and irrefutable.
Chapter 1716 Chapter 1716 "Oh, right. Give her a VIP ward. It'll be more comfortable for her," Xyla Quest said.
"Sure... You really are nice to your subordinates..." Stephan Harris remarked.
There weren't many kind and beautiful ladies like Xyla anymore...
"As I should be. It's not easy for them to work out here. Since they work in our house, they're part of the family too... Naturally, I need to be nice to them," Xyla said. "How wonderful..." Stephen praised.
Approximately half an hour later, the injured maid was brought out.
The wound on her right eye had already been tended to.
There was a thick layer of white bandage over it.
She was still unconscious.
There was an anti-inflammatory drip attached to the back of her hand.
Xyla and Stanley Batton watched the medical staff bring her to the ward.
After that, Xyla requested for two nurses to look after the maid around the clock.
Only then did Xyla and Stanley leave the hospital together.
When they walked out of the building, the sky was gloomy, and it was snowing heavily again.
This was the first time it snowed in Atlantis this year.
Not only did it come sooner than before, but it also snowed heavier than before.
It was believed that snow indicated a good harvest season ahead.
Xyla thought that perhaps this would be a year of a good harvest.
With only a single layer of pants on, Xyla shivered when cold breezes blew at her...
She immediately hastened her footsteps and quickly got into the car.
The driver hadn't gotten out of the car this whole time...
So, the heating had been left on inside the car.
The moment Xyla entered the car, Immediately felt as if s come back to life. Cont.net To her, the one thing she couldn't do without in winter was heating.
It smelled wonderful in the car.
Stanley had just changed the fragrance...
The light ebony scent wafted through the warm air.
It felt extremely calming...
Xyla slowly rested her head against Stanley's shoulder. Then, subconsciously, she took ap breaths. She wanted to take in the scent.
AS Due to the injured maid, Xyla was feeling a little unsettled on the inside.
"Don't worry. She'll get better..."
velhet 2 aid before extending his et pulling her into his embrace.
He gently patted her shoulder with one hand to comfort her.
It was almost as if he was comforting an injured child.
Xyla nodded and slowly closed her eyes. She didn't speak again.
The driver soon started the car engine.
Their luxurious Rolls-Royce limousine was in the forefront...
Several other luxury cars followed close behind them.
All the cars were in black...
They stood out when contrasted against a completely white background.
Soon, the entourage of cars entered the Quest family's compound.
Xyla and Stanley got out of the car while holding each other's hands...
It was nine o'clock in the evening.
The entire space still felt warm.
It was heart-soothing.
Chapter 1717 Chapter 1717 Right then, Jeremy Quest and Betty Starmount were sitting together and watching the television.
There was a huge plate of fruits in front of them, but neither touched any of it.
When Betty saw Xyla Quest walking in, she quickly approached Xyla. "How did it go?" Betty asked worriedly.
"She's fine now. The doctor said she'll just have to be observed and receive treatment for a while. After that, she'll be able to recover," Xyla said.
"Her eyeball was scratched... It's pretty bad," Xyla added.
Betty felt chills down her spine when she heard this. "Oh my god... That's truly scary," she said.
Although she appeared terrified, she was very calm on the inside.
She didn't think this was a big deal at all.
The woman was only a maid. So, what if she died?
"How did she get scratched?" Jeremy also walked up to Xyla. He naturally wrapped his arm around Betty's waist...
"We don't know what it is. There's fur beneath her eye. I'll go to an expert to get it verified..." Xyla said.
"Okay... I've looked through the surveillance footage in the house multiple times. No animal was detected around that timestamp...
"On top of that, I've also asked the subordinates in the house to look everywhere inside and outside. They didn't find any animals..." Jeremy added.
"Animals are much more intelligent than humans. When they realize humans are searching for them, they'll certainly hide well... They won't let themselves be discovered...
"As for the surveillance cameras, there are blind spots. Besides, if that thing hides behind trees or bushes, the cameras wouldn't be able to pick it up either," Xyla said earnestly.
"Since we can't find this thing using the conventional method, we'll have to go to an expert with this thing's fur. We'll find out exactly what it is before using the right method to deal with it. After that, we'll try to lure this thing out," Xyla said.
"I think this thing might have already escaped... So what's the point in doing this?" Betty asked.
"What if it hasn't?" Xyla asked.
Betty immediately nodded. "That's true. We should probably still get to the bottom of things..."
"Get the bodyguards to patrol outside the house. Be careful when you head out, too," Xyla said.
"Alright, I know, my darling," Jeremy said while nodding obediently.
Jeremy felt that whatever Xyla said made sense...
"Okay, your father has been hungry for a long while now. He's been waiting for you guys to come home. So let's go to the dining room and eat, Betty said softly before turning to look at Xyla and Stanley Betty was already starving...
If it weren't because she had to act in front of Jeremy that she was kind and too worried about the maid to eat, she would have gone and stuffed herself.
"I'm worried about that maid... She was hurt for no reason." Jeremy let out a long, helpless sigh.
"Don't worry. She's fine now," Xyla said.
Jeremy nodded. "Come on, let's go and eat... You guys can wash your hands first."
After that, Jeremy held Betty's hand and walked into the dining room.
Meanwhile, Xyla silently interlaced her fingers with Stanley before getting their hands washed in the bathroom.
After carefully washing their hands, they entered the dining room.
By then, there were already all sorts of delicious food on the huge, round dining table.
Every seat had a small, two-section induction cooker in front of it.
There was spicy soup on one side and a cloudy broth on the other...
The soup in each induction cooker was already boiling.
While hot steam filled the entire space, a pleasant scent of the hot pot ingredients wafted through the air.
The dining room was brightly lit. It seemed as bright as day and as warm as spring.
Outside, however, it was cold. It was still snowing heavily, and northerly winds blew.
During this cold season, heating and hot pot were the Quest family's necessities. Xyla was long famished...
Now that she saw the delicious food, she suddenly felt even hungrier.
Xyla and Stanley sat at their usual seats.
Ding-dong... Ding-dong...
Right then, the doorbell started ringing again.
Chapter 1718 Chapter 1718 When Xyla Quest heard the doorbell ringing, she immediately became tense.
This was because of what happened to the maid earlier.
When she heard the doorbell ringing, she felt a little afraid...
She was afraid that somebody else might have gotten injured.
Xyla immediately took a deep breath. After that, she walked over to the door and looked through the door viewer...
She could see a bodyguard standing in front of the door with a serious expression on his face.
Thankfully, his face was unharmed.
Xyla instantly let out a long sigh. She then opened the door...
"Miss Xyla, I found this while I was patrolling in the garden earlier..."
The bodyguard carefully placed a large ball of white fur in Xyla's hand...
It was the size of a whole cotton ball.
The fur looked exactly like the one Stephen gave her previously.
The white ball of fur was very soft and fluffy. Under the lights, it shone gorgeously.
Xyla couldn't quite tell what kind of fur it was when there were only a few of them.
Now that many of them were balled up, and Xyla held them in her hand, they felt awfully like fox fur...
Now, Xyla was ninety percent certain that this was fox fur.
Could a fox be what injured the maid?
Why would there be a fox within the compound?
Xyla hadn't heard about anyone who had a fox in the neighborhood...
A fox...
The moment this word entered her mind, Xyla's body instantly trembled. Suddenly, she felt very anxious.
She recalled the nine-tailed fox in her dreams...
Some time ago, she always dreamt about a nine-tailed fox.
Now, a fox had appeared outside their house.
If this really was fox fur, that meant a fox scratched the maid. What if it really was a fox?
Xyla saw fox in her dreams, and now a appeared in real life.
Could Xyla be overthinking?
Was this not even fox fur to begin with?
here?
Even if it was indeed fox fur, it might have only been a coincidence.
Various mind.
forgoestions lingered in Xyla's for a moment, to reply to the Xyla was lost in thought.
"Miss Xyla... If there's nothing else, I'll leave now..." The bodyguard said.
"..." However, Xyla still didn't reply to him.
She kept dwelling with the questions in her mind.
"Miss Xyla?" the bodyguard asked carefully once again.
Only then did Xyla slowly recollect herself and look at the bodyguard. "Hmm?" she asked.
"I said, if there's nothing else, I'll be leaving now..." The bodyguard said.
"Oh, go ahead..." Xyla said.
She closed the door and turned around before carefully examining the white animal fur in her hand.
It did look like fox fur.
Xyla remembered that May C liked was still alive, especially ng animal fur when s May had many coats made of fox fur.
One of the coats was white, and the fur looked just like this one...
After walking over to the coffee table, Xyla bent forward and grabbed a few paper towels.
She then carefully wrapped the fur in the tissues before putting it in her pocket.
Chapter 1719 Chapter 1719 Once everything was wrapped up, Xyla Quest walked into the bathroom and washed her hands again. Finally, she returned to the dining room.
In the dining room, Stanley Batton, Jeremy Quest, and Betty Starmount were enjoying the hot pot.
There were many cooked fish slices and peeled prawns on Xyla's plate.
Her dipping sauce had also been prepared.
It was her favorite flavor.
Xyla knew that Stanley Batton had done all this.
Suddenly, she felt warmth spread in her heart.
Xyla slowly sat next to Stanley. She picked up a slice of fish with her fork, dipped it in the sauce, and carefully took a bite.
The fish slice tasted fresh and juicy.
Flavors exploded in her mouth after she took a bite.
Xyla liked it a lot.
After eating the fish slice, Xyla began to speak. "A bodyguard discovered a huge ball of white animal fur outside earlier... It feels like fox fur..."
"Where is it? Fox fur? How is that possible? Why would there be a fox within the compound?" Jeremy seemed shocked.
Xyla shook her head. "I don't know. I only suspect that it is. To be sure, we'll have to wait for the experts to verify..."
However, Betty subconsciously took a deep breath when she heard what Xyla said...
However, it was so quick that nobody noticed.
Betty took a deep look at Xyla. After that, she pretended to be calm and lowered her head to eat a slice of fish.
"A fox?" Stanley asked with a curious gaze.
Xyla nodded. "When there were only a few strands of the animal's fur, it wasn't that obvious. However, now that there's a bunch of it, and I could feel it in my hands, I think it looks like white fox fur..." "Where is the fur?" Stanley asked.
"It's in my pocket. I shan't take it out during the meal," Xyla said.
"Okay." Stanley didn't say anything further. Instead, he silently put a lot of her favorite ingredients into the pot.
There were all sorts of meat and lettuce...
"Xyla, you're pregnant. You should eat more vegetables. It's good your skin and the baby's..." Bonet with a smile.
MS said "Okay." Xyla nodded slowly. After that, she put some fat beef slices into her pot.
The hot scent this carried the fragrant.
Various ingredients, maki day feel much Xyla.
swnow for ***
After the meal, Xyla and Stanley left the Quest family's house together.
They returned to their own house.
As soon as they arrived home, Xyla ed the fur wrapped in paperet from her pocket and it on the coffee table.
She then sat on the couch.
Stanley also quickly sat down.
"It's in here... Have a look," Xyla said earnestly.
Stanley slowly unwrapped the paper towels and carefully examined the fur.
"It does look like it..." Stanley said while he continued to examine it. "Right?"
"Yeah. I'll get Zack to bring it to an expert tomorrow," Stanley said.
"Okay. Thank you... Honey," Xyla said.
After that, the two of them went upstairs together for a hot bath.
Once Stanley was done, he got into bed and started reading a financial magazine.
Meanwhile, Xyla stayed in the bathroom for her face and body skincare routine.
She only got into bed after she was done with everything.
After Xyla got into bed, Stanley put the magazine down and directly turned off the lights.
The two of them hugged each other to sleep.
Despite having been together for a long time, they still liked holding each other like this as they slept.
It felt very comfortable to lie in Stanley's arms. Xyla soon fell asleep.
However, as soon as she fell asleep, she began having weird dreams.
Chapter 1720 Chapter 1720 In the dream, Xyla Quest wore a traditional white dress as she stood in the middle of a foggy forest...
The trees towered over her, and she could barely see past the dense branches...
The entire world seemed dark and eerie.
Xyla couldn't even tell if it was day or night...
Cold breezes caused her body to tremble.
Xyla felt terrified in the dream.
She had no clue why she was in a place like this.
Hence, she began looking around frantically while she tried to find a way out.
Right then, a golden light flashed by.
A white nine-tailed fox descended from the sky. It landed right in front of her.
In the next second, the nine-tailed fox opened its mouth and pounced toward her.
It scratched one of her eyes out.
"Ahh..."
The intense pain made Xyla feel even more terrified.
She didn't even realize she had screamed out loud...
The strong sense of fear instantly woke her.
When Xyla opened her eyes, everything was pitch black around her.
She was drenched in sweat.
Her heart was also beating rapidly.
She felt as if it might leap out of her chest soon.
Meanwhile, Xyla was also breathing hastily. In fact, her breathing was a little heavy.
With the light that seeped in from the outside, Xyla could see that she was lying on the bed in her room...
At that moment, she finally relaxed.
The light was suddenly switched on.
Stanley Batton quickly sat up and looked at her worriedly. "What's the matter? Why did you suddenly scream so loudly?"
His words immediately reminded Xyla of her strange yet terrifying dream.
Xyla took a deep breath before gently patting her chest. Then, she subconsciously found her way into Stanley's arms.
Stanley had put on some cologne before he slept.
The light oud wood scent was delightful during winter.
Xyla found comfort for her terrified soul in the scent.
Although she was awake, and she also knew it was only a dream, she still couldn't forget how the nine-tailed fox ferociously clawed her eye out.
That kind of pain was suffocating.
Stanley gently kissed her forehead before gently patting her back as if he was comforting a child. "Tell me. What happened?" he asked earnestly. Xyla took a deep breath before telling Stanley about her dream in detail.
Xyla recalled the nine-tailed fox in her dream. "That nine-tailed fox is the same one that appeared in my dream the last time. So, honey, I really think these dreams aren't merely a coincidence...
