Revenge of the Hideous Lady (Xyla Quest) novel Chapter 304

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 Quest was equally filled with shock, and her eyes were wide with disbelief.

“Here’s what happened. Since a few days ago, she has been out of sorts, and the psychiatrist 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 hospital. She's in critical condition right now, and if anything gets out of hand, she could die…” The man on the other end of the call said seriously.

At this moment, everyone couldn't believe their ears.

May was completely frozen on the couch. Panting, she grabbed at the couch cushions and held the phone tightly as she continued to scream into the phone. “Why didn't you tell us that my daughter was in such a state? And why didn’t you look after 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, be 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.
