May Conner was leaning against Jeremy Quest, and she could hear exactly what was said over the
phone. Her pupils instantly shrank, and tears rolled down her cheeks. She quickly grabbed Jeremy’s
phone and put it on loudspeaker.
“What did you just say? What do you mean, she’s about to die? What have you done to my daughter?”
May grew more and more agitated as she spoke, and her whole body was trembling toward the end of
her sentence. The veins around her neck were apparent, and her face was flushed red.
She practically hissed when she ended her sentence. Jeremy’s eyes were filled with panic as he
listened carefully.
The Sullivan family was stunned. None of them had expected to hear such news.
Xyla was equally filled with shock, and her eyes were wide with disbelief.

diagnosed her with severe depression. She’s been in psychotherapy for the past two days, and there
was always someone watching over her. But just before breakfast, she suddenly stabbed her carotid
artery with a fork. She then screamed that she didn’t want to live anymore and even refused to let us
approach her, so our prison guards had no choice but to surround her and forcibly take her to the

her? If she dies, I want all of you buried with her!”
Jeremy’s face was instantly drained of color. Despite all the wrong things Emily Quest had done, she
was still his daughter. They were connected by blood, and at this point, how could he, as her father, he
indifferent about the situation?
The only thing on his mind now was that his daughter was going to die, and what she did in the past no
longer mattered.
Xyla was in deep shock for a long time. She could not return to her senses even after a long while.
“I’m sorry. It’s our fault. We’re at the municipal hospital,” the police officer said.
May ended the call angrily and ran right out of the house like a mad person. Jeremy followed her close
behind. Right after that, Bailey Ronson pushed Julian Sullivan in his wheelchair and quickly chased
after Jeremy. Tony Sullivan and Tom Sullivan, seeing that they had all left, followed along.
Although Tom didn’t want to go with them, his parents seemed eager to go. Hence, he had no choice

Xyla put on her coat and went out with the group. With something major like this happening, she was
afraid that she would be criticized as Emily’s sister if she didn’t see Emily.

It wasn’t long before they arrived outside the emergency room of the municipal hospital.
Six prison guards were sitting on the bench, and they immediately nodded politely when they saw the
Quest family and the Sullivan family.
Xyla was the only one who nodded in response, while the others didn’t even glance at these
correctional officers.
