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

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… Aft

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.

“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 sno
