Revenge of the Hideous Lady by Moonlight

Georgie Clementine nodded gently. “Thank you...”
The next second, she leaned onto Henry Armstrong feebly.
Henry did not speak again. He lifted his long pair of legs and quickly strode to the front. As Georgie’s injuries were not that
serious, Henry sent her straight for gastric lavage and got her wounds treated.
Xyla on the other hand, was sent straight into the operating theater by a group of people. After the door of the operating theater
was closed, Stanley Batton slowly sat onto the long bench. Endless murderous aura lingered all over his body.
Sebastian Brenand and Gary Lakes soon sat down as well. The men in black neatly stood at the sides of the corridor while
staying on guard.
“Fred, that son of a b*tch, he was really too cruel, that bast*rd!” Sebastian clenched his fists tightly.
“His father must have been cursed for eight consecutive generations to have such a son.” Gary snorted coldly. “ He will get his
father killed anytime soon.”
“Anytime soon? He can already doom his father right this moment.” Sebastian knew Stanley’s temper very well.
He knew that Stanley would never forgive Fred Thomson. He might even seek revenge on the Thomsons. Although the
Thomsons were powerful, what did they think they were in front of the Battons?
Their family was not even worthy to polish the shoes for the Battons.
Ring ring ring...
At that moment, Sharon Lindt’s call came in. Stanley pressed the ‘answer’ button instantly.
“Five Batton, Xyla asked me out for a date in the morning but I waited for two hours and she did not show up. I’m okay with that
but she did not even answer my calls. I’m a little worried about her,” Sharon then spoke again, “Did something happen to her?”
“Yes, something happened to her. You wait for me at home, I will tell you everything once I get back”
“What? What happened?”
“We will discuss that once I get home...”

Then, Stanley ended the call.

About half an hour later, the doctor that was in charge of Xyla walked out of the operating theater.
He stood in front of the three of them and said, “Miss Quest is alright now. The bullet has been extracted and her wounds were
all bandaged up. The only thing that she needs to do is to have a good rest. Just be careful of the wounds as they cannot get in
contact with water.”
Stanley, who was on tenterhooks, was finally relieved. “Hmm...”
Right about that time, Xyla was pushed out of the operating theater by the medical team. She was awake and she got changed
into a set of patient gown with blue and white stripes. The bloodstains on her were all cleaned up. Her face was still pale and
wan, the same goes for her lips.
She had an IV drip connected to the back of her hand. The liquid in the bottle was slightly shaking as the hospital bed moved.
As soon as she saw Stanley, Xyla squeezed out a gentle smile for him.
Stanley strode towards her. He lowered his body and looked at her, “How is it? Are your wounds still painful? Hmm?”
Xyla shook her head, “Painkillers were added into the anti-inflammatory drug that I’m taking. They do not hurt now.”
“Hmm...”
“What about Georgie? Where is she?” Xyla was worried.
“She’s okay. She’s getting some typical treatments.”
Xyla’s worrying heart was finally relieved, “Hmm, thank you for bringing so many people to protect me today.”
“It’s my duty.” Stanley answered.
