The Sullivan family, though, was calm because Emily Quest’s death had nothing to do with them.
None of them actually felt sad for her, but each had a gloomy expression on their face because it felt like the appropriate thing to do.
Xyla Quest sat silently in the corner the entire time, with no notable expression on her face.
Although she was shocked by what happened to Emily, she was in no way heartbroken.
The affection she had for her stepsister had long since faded.
All that remained in her heart was hatred, and even though this person was on the verge of death, she still couldn’t let go of her grudges.
However, despite the dangerous situation Emily was in, Xyla felt certain that Emily would survive because evil people tended to live longer to bring chaos to this world.
“Jeremy, do you think Emily is going to be okay? If something happens to her, how am I supposed to live? I don't care, if Emily dies, I'll go with her,” May said as tears streamed down her face.
Jeremy Quest held May close, whispering words of comfort into her ears as he did so.
The atmosphere in the hallway was depressing.
It felt as if the air had frozen into clumps.

About half an hour later, Emily’s primary physician walked out.
As soon as he was out, he quickly walked over to Jeremy and May and pushed the mask under his chin. “After being resuscitated, she’s safe now. Just make sure to look after her with care. Keep an eye on her wound, making sure never to wet it. That can lead to great complications if the wound gets infected,” the doctor said.
May immediately sighed in relief. She then stood up excitedly, clutched the doctor's hand, and said, “Thank you, doctor!”
