Revenge of the Hideous Lady by Moonlight

Xyla Quest nodded confidently.

She felt sure that she could do a good job.

"Xyla... You really do make me proud." Jeremy Quest expressed his fondness toward Xyla openly.

Xyla held onto his hand affectionately. "Dad, you make me proud too. You've always been my role model."

Jeremy felt overjoyed after hearing what Xyla said. "Oh, my sweet Xyla. Alright, let's go home now. Oh yeah, thank Stan for me. I'm delighted with the antique items he bought me." When Jeremy mentioned Stanley Batton, his face became even gentler.

"Alright." Xyla held Jeremy's hand and walked him back to the car. They were accompanied by the ocean breeze all the way.

It was very warm inside the car. Within a few seconds, Xyla felt all the coldness melt away.

It had been a long day, and she felt exhausted. After sitting down in the car, she couldn't help closing her eyes. She wanted to take a nap.

When Jeremy saw this, he didn't say anything further. He removed his jacket and covered Xyla with it.
