Chapter 866
“I’ve been pretty good to you lately, haven’t I? Why are you doing this to me? Why did you fake that recording and accuse me of drugging you?” May Conner quibbled.May was still looking for a lifeline. That was the only thing she could do right now. “Is that so? Tell me what’s this then.” Xyla Quest pulled out a copy of her blood test result from her silver handbag. She thrust it into May’s hands. The report clearly stated that the mercury level in her body was ten times over the limit!There was a slight tremor in May’s eyes. “Xyla, what’s this?”“You should know better.” Xyla cut to the chase.“Stop it, Xyla! I can’t believe you’ve faked the report to slander my mother!” Emily Quest rebuked furiously. Xyla glared at May coldly. She did not even bother to look at Emily. “Am I slandering you? You know the answer better than anyone else, Auntie.”Jeremy Quest took a deep breath before interrupting their conversation. “May, you better go into jail with your daughter and… Let

Suddenly, Emily Quest was enraged. She pointed at Xyla Quest and bellowed, “Xyla! My mom has pleaded with you, and I’ve also apologized to you. Yet, you don’t want to forgive me. Fine! But how dare you send me to jail! How dare you frame my mom!“You deserve what I did to you. You’ve pissed me off ever since we were kids. I’m sick of the sight of you. You think that I’m picking on you. Oh yeah? Do you dare to swear to god that you’ve never done anything like that to me?“You, and I… We’re the same. Why are you pretending to be a pure little angel? You b*tch!” Emily roared frantically. Her resentment grew inside her like a tumor. “Emily, you’re the one who started this. I never wanted to pick a fight with you. Neither have I made up any unnecessary story to slander both of you. Whether I framed Auntie or not, the police will give you an answer,” Xyla replied coldly.“We keep getting at you because you ask for it!” Emily jabbed, “Besides, aren’t you alive and well after everything w

Suspicion flashed in Xyla Quest’s eyes. “Really?”Jeremy Quest shrugged indifferently. “Yeah. She has gone too far. I’ve had enough.”Following that statement, Jeremy lit another cigarette and took a long drag at it before continuing, “Xyla, is your body okay?”Xyla smiled. “I’m fine. Thank god I discovered her misdeed before it’s too late.”Jeremy’s eyes were filled with curiosity. “Oh? How did you find out about it?”Xyla gave him a curt nod. “I’m not sleeping well these days, and I always wake up feeling dizzy. Moreover, I experience feelings of nausea occasionally. I’ve tried taking my pulse, but I don’t feel anything unusual.“I went to the hospital to find Emily’s doctor yesterday afternoon. He wasn’t in the office, so I decided to do a blood test while waiting for him. I was surprised to find out that the mercury level in my body was way over the limit.“That was when I realized that someone was trying to poison me. No doubt, Emily and May were the first who crossed my mi

They were both in handcuffs and legcuffs, their faces dull and sallow. May Conner immediately begged for mercy when she saw Jeremy Quest. “Dear, it’s not me… Please believe me…”Though she knew that Jeremy would never believe her, she ought to try it one last time before stepping out of the house. Nevertheless, Jeremy did not even bother to look at her. He lit a cigarette and started smoking again. “Screw you, Xyla! I won’t let you live in peace once I get out of jail! “This isn’t the end! You can count on it! Wait till I regain my freedom… I’ll make your life miserable!” Emily bellowed in agony while she was frogmarched off by several police officers. How she hoped she could rip off Xyla’s skin at that moment. Her voice was sharp and pathetic. The living room was filled with her roar. Instead of rebuking her, Xyla reached for the teacup on the coffee table and leaned on Stanley Batton’s shoulder. Her utter apathy was reflected in her eyes. Emily and May were dragg

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 roo
Chapter 871
A male doctor was currently talking to Jeremy Quest. “The patient is suffering from congenital dyserythropoietic anemia, and he must undergo a blood transfusion now. Don’t worry. I’ll contact his blood donor.”The doctor was wearing a white coat and a pair of refined, silver-rimmed glasses. His hair was neatly parted in three-sevenths, matching well with his delicate features. His presence imparted an air of elegance. He looked very much like a hot actor walking out from the television. Upon hearing that, Xyla Quest immediately quickened her pace as she walked up to the doctor. “I can give him my blood.”The male doctor was startled. “You? Do you know what blood type he has?” “Yes. I’m his wife. We share the same blood type,” Xyla said again. “Come with me. You have to do a simple body check-up before we proceed with the blood transfusion,” the doctor explained. As he spoke, Xyla stole a glance at the name tag on his chest. Stephen Harris, the Vice President of Municipal Ho
Chapter 872
Stephen Harris plopped down across Jeremy Quest and Xyla Quest and said, “He’s undergoing blood transfusion now. He should be fine after that.” Xyla nodded lightly. It was a great weight off her mind to find her husband safe and sound. “Are you the one treating him all this while?” Xyla asked. “Yeah.” Stephen nodded. Though Xyla had many questions in her mind, she managed to hold herself back as Jeremy was right beside her. About ten minutes later, the door of the emergency room flung open again. Stanley Batton came out of the room. His cheeks were faint pink, which was much better than before, but he still looked a bit haggard. However, even so, the compelling aura around him had not waned in the slightest. Seeing him, Xyla immediately rushed to him and carefully held his arm. “Hey, how are you? Do you feel better now?”Stanley nodded weakly. “Yeah… I heard that you donated your blood to me.”“Yes,” Xyla answered truthfully. Jeremy quickly walked up to him and as

“Yes, I’m alright,” As Stanley Batton spoke, he pulled out a cigarette from his pocket and handed it to Jeremy Quest courteously. Jeremy took the cigarette from him and placed it between his lips. Stanley then took out the lighter and carefully lit the cigarette for Jeremy. Jeremy took a deep breath before continuing, “Xyla told me that you’d be fine as long as you go for regular blood transfusion. Is that true?” “Yeah.” Stanley refused to elaborate on his condition. “Are you sure?” Jeremy asked again.“Don’t worry, Dad. It shouldn’t be a problem if I take good care of myself.” Following that statement, Stanley lit another cigarette and took a couple of long drags at it. Smoke suspended in the still air, twirling around his exquisite jawline and perfect features. His charm was irresistible. Only then did Jeremy heave a sigh of relief. “That’s great…”“Shall we play another round? I’ll go get the chess set,” Stanley asked. “Nah. You should get some rest. Just sit with
