Revenge of the Hideous Lady (Xyla Quest) -
Chapter 580
Then, Emily Quest took a picture of the cut and sent it to Bailey Ronson.
The picture was attached with a brief sentence, which they had discussed in advance. "My life is hopeless and full of despair. Tell Brother Sullivan that I'll be leaving first." After that, she closed her eyes.
On the other side, Bailey was dialing 911 in the Sullivan family's living room after she received the message from Emily.
Subsequently, she called Jeremy Quest and informed him about the tragic news. "Emily has tried to commit suicide just now! After we left your house this morning, Emily told me that she wanted to go shopping alone, so I dropped her off at a shopping mall nearby. However, she has just sent me a message on WeChat. It was a picture of her slit wrist with a sentence beneath it, saying that she felt hopeless and wanted to leave. She even asked me to tell Tom Sullivan that..."
As soon as Jeremy heard about his daughter's attempt at suicide, he sprang up from the sofa in fluster, his face as dark as night. "Where's she now?"
"I can recognize the background of the picture. It's Victoria Hotel. There's also a pillow printed with the words 'Victoria Hotel' in the picture. I've called the ambulance and explained the situation to them." Without saying another word, Jeremy shoved his phone into his pocket and dashed out of the house.
Noticing her husband's abnormal behavior, May Conner quickly put on her shoes and ran after him. "What's going on?"
"Emily tried to commit suicide..." With that out of the way, he rushed to the black Audi parked in front of the door and got into it as fast as he could.
May followed after him right away, a feeling of dread creeping up from the pit of her stomach.
Intuition told May that Bailey was behind the incident. Bailey must have instructed Emily to fake committing suicide so that Jeremy would help her to convince Xyla.
May's mind was clouded with fear as she thought about it.
The Sullivan family was so cruel and selfish. They were pushing Emily over the edge just to achieve their goals!
What was more, her daughter was stupid enough to help them without consulting her!
As May thought about it, she turned to face Jeremy sitting next to her and began to cry. "You see, it's all because of you... Emily would never do something like this if you didn't trigger her in the first place... Ouch... My chest..."
Suddenly, May clenched the wound-from when she helped to block the knife for Jeremy last time-on her chest and gasped, trying to soften Jeremy's heart.
What else could she do after everything that had happened?
She could only cooperate with her foolish daughter, as well as that vicious Bailey!
Anxiety seemed to rise behind Jeremy's eyes as he looked at May wailing in agony. "Calm down. Let's not talk about that anymore. Emily is at Victoria Hotel right now. We have to get there first." Jeremy floored the pedal instantaneously, speeding down the streets.
"Sob... Sob... Honey, I'm so worried. If Emily dies, I don't want to live anymore..."
Jeremy did not answer her. Her words pierced through him like thousands of knives.
"See what you did to Emily. What's so difficult about pleading Xyla? Why are you so cruel? "Sob... Sob..."
Tears streamed down her cheeks, unceasingly.
"Enough! Shut up!" Jeremy exploded.
Only then did May shut her mouth, probably frightened by Jeremy. She continued to sob, her hands still holding the wound on her chest...
Jeremy could not bear to say anything else when he saw her hand on the wound. Sighing helplessly, he patted her shoulder and said reassuringly, "Alright, alright, let's put a stop to it. Emily's condition is the most crucial now. We'll rush to the hotel first, hmm?"
The two of them were in a total mess because of Emily. On the contrary, Stanley Batton's office was as peaceful as ever.
Stanley focused on his work.
Xyla Quest was playing games.
Both of them were very quiet, and neither of them disturbed the other.
After winning a game, Xyla happily switched the game mode to ARAM (All Random All Mid) and started another fight.
She preferred ARAM more than the other game modes in League of Legends.
It was exciting to fight in a big group.
Stanley lifted his head to glance at Xyla after working continuously for a long time. Looking at how much Xyla was enjoying, Stanley decided not to disturb her. So, he picked up his phone and sent a message to Sharon Lindt. "Xyla and I are going home for dinner tonight."
As soon as the message was sent out, Sharon gave him a call.
