Chapter 2039
Xyla Quest frowned deeply. “I don’t know what exactly it was that we did, but Stanley and I both have our own karmic debts from our past lives.“Moreover, we seem to have done a lot of terrible things to the demon fox. That’s why he’s here to make us pay for it,” she explained.“Does that mean you and my son knew each other in your past lives?” Sharon Lindt still wore a shocked expression. However, she tried to keep her voice low so that others wouldn’t hear her.Although the acoustic treatment in the ward was effective, and no one else could hear them with the door closed, Sharon still thought it was better to be safe than sorry.Xyla nodded.“Anyway, we will face a lot of hurdles in this life,” she added.Hearing that, Sharon’s expression turned from shock to horror.She took a deep breath. “What are you two going to do? Are there any ways to avoid the hurdles?”“Does this mean what happened to your father and the children were the nine-tailed fox’s doing? Someone's dead, and
Chapter 2040
Strong winds were blowing outside, and snow began to fall heavily.The sudden change in weather filled Sharon Lindt’s eyes with shock. “Could the change in weather outside be related to him?”After all, it was too much of a coincidence.Yaksha had left mysteriously, and this happened immediately after.Stanley Batton, who had encountered this mystical sight back at Yaksha’s place, was calm and collected.Xyla Quest reacted the same way.Although she wasn’t sure exactly what happened, she knew it was related to Yaksha somehow.“Yes,” Stanley said.Xyla didn’t react because she had expected all this.Meanwhile, Sharon had only been introduced to the mystical realm a while ago. Her heart was pounding.Everything that happened today confused her greatly.If somebody had told her that the weather could change because of a single person, she wouldn’t have believed them.She might even secretly think that person was crazy.However, Sharon now knew that everything was possible in
Chapter 2041
Stanley Batton and Yaksha became teary seeing Xyla Quest breaking down.Stanley went down on one knee and carefully wiped her tears away. “Don’t be like this, Xyla. Have you forgotten that your father never liked seeing you cry?”His words reminded her of the past.When she was seven, her father brought her to experience life in the village.On the third day, she fell sick, and her fever wouldn’t subside.However, the village was inaccessible for transportation, so her father, Jeremy Quest, didn’t drive his car.Tortured by the sickness, young Xyla kept crying.Jeremy was so worried that he carried her several miles away to look for a hospital in town.Xyla vividly remembered that it was snowing heavily that night, and they had left in a hurry.Jeremy managed to put on a thick coat for Xyla, but he only wore regular, casual winter wear.The harsh northern winds, accompanied by cold snowflakes, kept blustering against their bodies. Jeremy was freezing at the time, but he was d

Xyla Quest was now an orphan.Stanley Batton cradled her face when he saw that she had stopped crying. “Honey, let’s go back, all right? Don’t be sad anymore. Tell me, what can I do for you to feel better? Hmm?”If Stanley could do anything to make her happy, he would surely do it. He would go through hell for her.However, Xyla closed her eyes helplessly without uttering a word.Right then, Yaksha, who had been silent all this while, spoke up. “You’ve been sitting for a long time, and your wound can’t handle it. Let’s head back.”Slowly opening her eyes, she gazed helplessly at him. “Can I sit here for ten more minutes? I just want to look at my father.”She would never see his face again after leaving this time.Her father’s corpse would be cremated, turning into a pile of ash.The face that made Xyla feel at peace would forever be gone from this world.Yaksha nodded helplessly, letting her have her way.Ten minutes later, he activated the teleport amulet without asking h

“She was talking before she suddenly died. The pathologist is here to investigate the cause of her death,” Zack Cassidy told them.Nobody had expected things to end that way.Sharon Lindt, Xyla Quest, and Stanley Batton all wore shocked expressions.“Let me know when you find out,” Stanley said before hanging up.“She died just like that. After hurting us so badly, it seems too easy on her,” Xyla lamented, still wishing she could shred Betty Starmount to pieces.Her shocking death wasn’t enough to appease her. She wanted to question Betty about the location of that nine-tailed demon fox, but now that plan was ruined. Perhaps, this was all pre-determined as everything happened by fate.Xyla couldn’t have her way just because she wanted it.She probably wouldn’t find the nine-tailed demon fox until it executed its plan, but she wasn't about to give up.She wanted to change her fate, not allowing anything like her father’s tragedy to happen again.It was the only time she would
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
Chapter 2045
Xyla Quest knew that Sharon Lindt only had her best interest at heart.People often said that the true colors of a person's in-laws would be revealed once a woman gave birth.This time, Xyla got to know the Batton family even better as the kindest people, apart from her father.They genuinely adored and pampered her.Throughout the entire month of her postpartum recovery, Sharon Lindt and Stanley Batton were the ones who constantly stayed by her side to look after her, refusing to let anyone else visit at the hospital.While Stanley attended to work during the day, Sharon was the only one in the ward, looking after two children.However, she never once complained.At times, Xyla wanted to help whenever she was too busy, but Sharon would order her to get back to bed. She made sure Xyla and her children were well taken care of.During this time, Sharon and Stanley acted like Xyla’s guardian angels, protecting her and the children daily and nightly.“To be honest, I just want t

Sharon Lindt protected Xyla Quest as if she was a fragile object.Xyla smiled. “Thank you, Mom.”While observing her family, Xyla silently swore in her heart that she would do everything she could to be good to them for the rest of her life.“Oh, can I play with my phone for a while?” Xyla asked cautiously.During this period, Sharon had strictly limited her access to her phone, believing that she could fall sick from the strain.Many times, Xyla felt like a kid again.Sharon contemplated for a few seconds. “Okay, but not too long. Five minutes is all you get.”“Okay, sure.” Xyla chuckled, willing to behave if it made her worry less.Xyla quickly turned her phone on as soon as Sharon handed it to her, opening Weibo to check on the trending headers.For someone who used to scroll through Weibo every day, being away for an entire month made Xyla feel alienated from the world for far too long.Seeing that her children made it onto the list of hot topics in Weibo, she noticed Jos
