Revenge of the Hideous Lady (Xyla Quest)

Chapter 212

As the situation was becoming unfavorable, May immediately fell over, holding a hand to her heart as she gasped loudly, wearing a torturous expression.

When he heard the sound, Jeremy looked back at once.

Upon seeing this, he hurried back to her and held her up carefully. Jeremy asked in concern, “Are you okay?”

May held her heart and shook her head. “No… I’m not. My wound is hurting again. I must have been too agitated.”

Jeremy’s heart softened. “Let me take you back into the room to rest.”

May shook her head and said through tears, “I don’t want to rest. I think I should just die. With Emily in such a situation, what’s the point of me living?

“Honey, I’ve finally realized a lot of things now from my stance. On the one hand, I truly despise her. How can she be so disappointing? She had clearly promised me that she wouldn’t harm Xyla, so why did she do such terrible things? I think she should just accept whatever punishment she receives from the law.

“But on the other hand, I feel upset and reluctant. She’s my flesh and blood. She came from me… I can’t just leave her be.

“I’m so upset I rather die. In fact, I feel that I should have just died when I took that knife for you. If I died, there wouldn’t be so many issues.”

May was choking as she spoke.

Hearing the words ‘took that knife’, Jeremy felt a stinging pain in his heart. His tone instantly became softer. “But she has gone too far this time. I have to teach her a lesson. Otherwise, she would continue wreaking havoc.”

“Then, just try to get the police to shorten her sentence. I’m not asking to have her released immediately. I’m just hoping that she could be released a little earlier. Would that be okay?” May added.

Since he was unwilling, they would both take a step back. She believed that her tearful speech would definitely move Jeremy.

After all, the man was now guilty because she had taken a knife for him.

“I’ll think about it.” Jeremy frowned in defeat.

“Really, honey?” May immediately hugged Jeremy and asked excitedly.

After that, she leaned against Jeremy weakly as she panted. “Honey, I think I’ve lost all my energy. Can you help me get back to the room?”

Jeremy nodded and carefully supported May as they headed outside.

However, May’s knees abruptly gave away, and she held a hand to her forehead. “Oh dear, no, I can’t walk. I see stars. It’s probably because my injury isn’t fully recovered yet, and I’ve over- exhausted myself today.”

Jeremy immediately carried her up in a bridal style, his expression softening. “I’ll carry you.”

May gave a weak and coy smile, hugging him tightly. “Thank you, honey. You haven’t carried me like this for a long time now. I feel so blessed.”

Jeremy smiled and carried May out of the study.

May smiled as well, her lips curling into a wide and cheeky grin.

Xyla and Stanley had just come upstairs when they ran into this lovey-dovey scene of the old couple.

Seeing the coy look on May’s face, Xyla snickered in her heart.

She remained unfazed and latched onto the man beside her as they walked up to the old couple. Xyla greeted them, politely, “Dad, Aunty.”

She was initially worried about her father, so she had come back to take a look.

Seeing him like this, she knew that there was nothing for her to worry about. NôvelDrama.Org © 2024.

Now, the only thing she had to worry about was the situation at the detention center.

May Conner might have successfully persuaded her father to help Emily.

After suffering so much defeat, it was clear that May had become smarter.

Her heart had clearly seen through it all, but Xyla did not let it show. She looked calm.

It was because she would not let May’s wish come true.
