The sudden shock made Jeremy Quest’s muscles tense. His heart froze, and his stomach turned cold.
Jeremy immediately rose to his feet and rushed to Stanley Batton’s side. His arms trembled in fear as he shook his body. “Stan… Stan… Wake up… What happened to you?”
However, Stanley was unconscious.
The color quickly drained from his face. He looked as pale as chalk.
Terror sucked the very breath from Jeremy’s mouth when he saw Stanley’s ashen face. Trying with all his might, he steadied his breath and carefully placed his finger near Stanley’s nose.
A weak, cold air brushed over his finger. Jeremy’s heart finally returned to his chest when he found a sign of breathing from Stanley.
Without further ado, he pulled out his phone and dialed 911.

The ambulance arrived at the doorstep fifteen minutes later. Stanley was sent to Municipal Hospital right away.
Jeremy was with him the entire time.
Once they arrived at the hospital, Stanley was pushed into the VIP emergency room.
Jeremy sat on the bench outside of the emergency room anxiously. A cold sweat broke out on his forehead. He mopped it away with his forearm and called Xyla Quest.
On the other end of the phone, Xyla had just arrived at the police station in her house area.
Seeing Jeremy’s name on her phone screen, Xyla slowly got out of the car before answering his call.
Right at this moment, Emily Quest and May Conner were escorted from another police car.
As soon as Emily caught sight of Xyla, she started struggling and howling like a mad dog. “F*ck you, Xyla! I’ll definitely kill you, eat your flesh, and drink your blood if I have the chance!
“Curse you, Xyla! I curse you to become a hideous fat pig again! I curse you to suffer from a terrible marriage! Don’t be complacent, you b*tch! Your husband will cheat on you one day!
“Even if he doesn’t cheat on you, he’s going to die soon! Your husband has a blood disease! You’ll become a widow at last!”
