However, May Conner forced herself to play it cool as she looked at Xyla Quest. “Xyla… What are you saying? I don’t really get what you’re trying to say.”
“Well then, do you understand this?” Xyla said before taking her phone out directly and playing a voice recording from it.
In the next second, a young man’s voice could be heard.
“Sorry, my thoughts were muddled for a moment. That’s why I accepted May Conner’s suggestion to hide Emily Quest’s actual medical condition from everyone. Emily was never sick…
“To be honest, I was indeed tempted by the money in the beginning. Later, I realized my mistake, but it was too late. I had no choice but to continue the chain of mistakes…
“Miss Xyla, please let me go…”
Right after that, Xyla’s voice could be heard.
“I can let you go, but you must give me a careful account of what Emily and May have done…” Xyla said.
After that, the young man started speaking again.
“Actually, in the beginning, I didn’t know Emily was faking depression when she first arrived at our hospital after attempting suicide in jail…
“After that, once I had tended to Emily’s wound, May came to see me and directly gave me a check worth 500,000 dollars.
“She told me that she needed my help and asked if I would help her. She also said that once I helped her, she would give me another 500,000 dollars.
“I was tempted by the money and agreed. After that, May told me that Emily was pretending to have depression. She wanted me to continue helping Emily with the pretense.
“For the period to come, I was not allowed to tell anyone even if I found out something didn’t check out with Emily’s diagnosis.
