Revenge of the Hideous Lady by Moonlight

Stanley Batton thought he was strong enough to overcome anything, and there was nothing he'd be afraid of. Now, he finally understood that someone like that couldn't possibly exist. The so-called toughness and fearlessness were only possible when dealing with people and things that weren't one's weak point.

Whenever something involved Xyla Quest, Stanley would lose all control within a second...

Especially right now, Stanley truly felt afraid that Xyla had been afflicted with a rare, incurable disease, and she might leave him forever.

In fact, Stanley didn't even dare to think about what would become of him if Xyla was no longer with him.

Xyla was his life.

She was like the oxygen and sunlight that he depended on to survive.

How would he live without her?

"Honey... I want to go home... I don't like being in the hospital," Xyla said softly.

Xyla didn't like the hospital because she hated the cold atmosphere and the strong medicinal scent.

"Alright..." Stanley replied softly. He casually picked her up and started walking outside.

Ron Batton followed the two of them with a concerned look on his face. There was a sullenness that wouldn't fade away from his eyes.
