Revenge of the Hideous Lady (Xyla Quest)
Chapter 1906

However, there wasn't any response to his call for help.

Cough, cough, cough-

Jeremy Quest continued to press his hand against his chest and coughed for a long while until eventually, Betty Starmount ran over to him.

She was stunned for a moment when she saw him.

Clenching her fists tightly, she calmly walked up to him. "Hey, what's wrong with you?"

"Get me some cough medicine. My cold is going away, but the coughing has gotten worse. I'm feeling out of breath." Jeremy continued to cough as he placed one hand over his chest and panted. He had no idea that his face had already turned purplish red.

When Betty saw him in such a state, she immediately stepped forward to pat his back gently but froze when her hand stopped about one centimeter away from Jeremy's back.

Her hand hung suspended in the air for a moment, and then with a deep breath, she slowly pulled away. "Understood. I'll get the medicine for you right away."

After turning around, Betty frowned deeply, then rubbed her stomach gently before heading upstairs.

Five minutes later, she returned to his side, carrying his cough medicine and a glass of warm water.

After taking a deep breath, Betty assisted Jeremy to take his medicine, but he still didn't stop coughing even after.

She frowned deeply and sat next to him, wanting to speak but didn't.

Seeing him in such a state made her feel bad, and it showed in her eyes.

She looked down at her lower abdomen. Soon, her awful feelings disappeared, and in their place was a sense of endless cold.

Jeremy panted as he smiled bitterly at her. "My body is deteriorating more and more each year. In the past, I'd recover very quickly after taking some medicine, but now, nothing had changed. "I was still fine when I spoke on the phone earlier. But it got bad really quickly."

Betty frowned again. "We should get you to the hospital if it's unbearable."

He shook his head. "That's not necessary. I've already called Xyla just like you asked. She'll be coming over for breakfast tomorrow morning."

"Okay."

"Betty, didn't you say you like Mr. Luke's matcha crepe cake from the city center? I've instructed the maid to buy some earlier. You can have some now.

для

"Also, I've already instructed someone to buy your favorite lemon juice, too," Jeremy added before erupting in another coughing fit.

Cough, cough, cough.

Cough, cough, cough.

Betty's eyes filled with tears. "Why are you so nice to me?"

Jeremy laughed. "Silly girl." Cough, cough. "You are my girlfriend, so who else would I be nice to? Also, I have already pre-ordered the purse you wanted.

"The van you take to the film set

doesn't seem very comfortable.

have purchased a recreational net

vehicle for you. It should be arriving soon," he said.

Right after that, he leaned weakly against the couch, panting as he closed his eyes.

"You have given me so much stuff. Aren't you afraid I might take everything and leave one day?" she wondered out loud.

"You can leave at any time you want

Ine

to. Your youth is worth so much more than those material things. Besides, I know that you care about me, and you won't leave me."

Jeremy began coughing again as he finished speaking.

Cough, cough, cough.

At that moment, Betty's eyes turned even redder.

"Why are you crying, Betty?" He seemed concerned.

Betty quickly shook her head and dried her tears that streamed down her face without her realizing it.

"It's nothing. I was just worried about you."
