Revenge of the Hideous Lady (Xyla Quest) novel Chapter 586

She could not believe she just risked her life to hold on to her current position as Tom Sullivan’s wife.

Jeremy Quest, Bailey Ronson, and May Conner were sitting beside her bed. When they saw Emily open her eyes, the three of them rose to their feet simultaneously.

Bailey deliberately put on a sorrowful face as she held Emily Quest’s hand. “Silly girl, why did you slit your wrist? You should’ve told us if something is bothering you!”

Jeremy’s face went sour. He could feel the number of wrinkles on his forehead increase. “Are you trying to scare your mother and me to death?”

Tears raced down May’s cheeks. Her eyes and nose turned red. “Silly kid, please don’t do this to me anymore… You’re going to give me a heart attack.”

Unlike Bailey’s deceitful acting, May was really worried about Emily.

Her heart broke into pieces at the sight of her weak, ashen daughter.

Trying all her might, Emily forced herself to sound as miserable as she could. “I just feel hopeless. What should I do if the Sullivan family is finished? I don’t want my in-laws to end up that way… I can’t bear to see my husband racking his brain day and night because of these problems.

“I’m married to Tom Sullivan. If the Sullivan family is good, I’m good. If they’re in trouble, I’m in trouble as well.” Emily tried to squeeze out a tear.

“That doesn’t mean you should kill yourself, right? Can’t you think of other solutions?” Jeremy’s reply was straightforward. “You’re trying to piss me off, aren’t you?”

May immediately clasped Jeremy’s wrist. “Enough, honey. She wouldn’t have done that if she had a choice. She went through all these because she loves Tom. Isn’t that what love is all about? We all share weal and woe with our beloved.”

“I think Emily’s condition will never get better if Tom’s emotions are unstable. The only way to help stabilize Tom’s emotions is for Sullivan Food Group to get through the crisis.” May made full use of this opportunity to assist the two of them.

Jeremy sighed helplessly.

He was distressed indeed as he looked at his daughter.
