Revenge of the Hideous Lady (Xyla Quest) novel Chapter 212

As the situation was becoming unfavorable, May immediately fell over, holding a hand to her heart as she gasped loudly, wearing a torturous expression.

When he heard the sound, Jeremy looked back at once.

Upon seeing this, he hurried back to her and held her up carefully. Jeremy asked in concern, “Are you okay?”

May held her heart and shook her head. “No… I’m not. My wound is hurting again. I must have been too agitated.”

Jeremy’s heart softened. “Let me take you back into the room to rest.”

May shook her head and said through tears, “I don’t want to rest. I think I should just die. With Emily in such a situation, what’s the point of me living?

“Honey, I’ve finally realized a lot of things now from my stance. On the one hand, I truly despise her. How can she be so disappointing? She had clearly promised me that she wouldn’t harm Xyla, so why did she do such terrible things? I think she should just accept whatever punishment she receives from the law.

“But on the other hand, I feel upset and reluctant. She’s my flesh and blood. She came from me… I can’t just leave her be.

“I’m so upset I rather die. In fact, I feel that I should have just died when I took that knife for you. If I died, there wouldn’t be so many issues.”

May was choking as she spoke.

Hearing the words ‘took that knife’, Jeremy felt a stinging pain in his heart. His tone instantly became softer. “But she has gone too far this time. I have to teach her a lesson. Otherwise, she would continue wreaking havoc.”

“Then, just try to get the police to shorten her sentence. I’m not asking to have her released immediately. I’m just hoping that she could be released a little earlier. Would that be okay?” May added.

Since he was unwilling, they would both take a step back. She believed that her tearful speech would definitely move Jeremy.

After all, the man was now guilty because she had taken a knife for him.

“I’ll think about it.” Jeremy frowned in defeat.

“Really, honey?” May immediately hugged Jeremy and asked excitedly.
