Revenge of the Hideous Lady (Xyla Quest) novel Chapter 439

“While it’s possible to nurture feelings, you will still suffer in the long run.”

“If it’s to live a luxurious life, enduring a little suffering is nothing. Mom, it’s the Sullivan family we’re talking about. It’s impossible for me to let go of that position that easily.” Emily Quest persisted on.

“Even if you don’t support me, I’ll still hold on to my view!” Emily said sternly. “Pain and suffering are always required in order to gain something.”

“If you’re that persistent how could I not support you?” Mary Conner sighed, giving in.

Footsteps from outside the room could be heard at that moment.

The door opened and Jeremy Quest entered the room.

Seeing him, Emily put on a depressed facade and forced tears out of her eyes till they became red.

Jeremy looked at Emily dearly before letting out a long sigh, “I’ve talked to the Sullivan family. They’ve agreed to stop talking about the divorce, at least for now…”

Emily’s eyes lit up immediately. “Really, dad?”

Jeremy nodded. “They said they’ll postpone it till your depression is cured.”

“Did they agree to let Emily stay with them after she gets discharged from the hospital?” May asked as both she and Emily waited for the answer, filled with anticipation.

“They did…” Jeremy said as he nodded.

In order to make the Sullivan family agree, he had to personally visit and convince them. It took quite a bit of time and effort but eventually, he won them over.

If Emily lost the Sullivan family, she would be as good as dead. As a father, he couldn’t just sit back and watch that happen.

A wave of relief washed over both Emily and May after hearing what he said.

“Alright, I need to go back to the office. May, you stay and take care of Emily.” Jeremy sighed before standing up.
