By the time Xyla Quest and Stanley Batton made it to the hospital, Jeremy was sitting outside the

emergency room with wounds all over his body. His hair was all messed up. Meanwhile, his face and

his body were covered in blood. His left arm was also covered in a large white bandage.

When Xyla and Stanley saw Jeremy, they quickly walked up to him.

Since they had rushed to the hospital, and both were wearing thin-soled cotton slippers, their feet were

freezing against the hospital’s marble ground. However, Xyla could not be bothered by that. Instead,

she sat next to Jeremy and looked at him worriedly.

“Dad, what happened to your arm? Is it broken? What about the rest of your body? Why is there so

much blood all over you? Did you get hurt anywhere else?” Xyla asked.

“The blood all over me doesn’t belong to me. It belongs to your aunt. When the assassin charged at

me, your aunt selflessly stood in front of me. The knife went straight through your aunt’s chest,” Jeremy

said as tears began streaming down his face.

When Jeremy recalled what happened, he felt great pain in his heart. In fact, he began to regret doing

those heartless things to May Conner before.

There was a saying that one’s true colors would be revealed in times of crisis. When his life was at risk,

Jeremy could sense how much May cared about him deeply. She was willing to save his life by putting

her own life at risk.

“I accidentally fell over when your aunt fell. That’s how I hurt my elbow. It’s only a minor bone fracture.

It’s not broken,” Jeremy explained.

Hearing this, Xyla was finally able to stop worrying.

For some unknown reason, Xyla felt that this had happened very coincidentally. Just as her father

announced that he would get a divorce with May, something unfortunate like this happened to him. Xyla

had enough reason to believe that May had planned this herself. She knew very well that people like

May would do anything to reach their goals.

Although Xyla had such suspicions, she did not have proof and therefore chose not to show any

reaction. Instead, she let out a long sigh and hugged Jeremy tightly.

“I’m glad you’re alright… Well… What about my aunt? How is she doing now?” Xyla asked.

“Your aunt is still in emergency rescue. I don’t know how she is, but I don’t feel good about it. She

passed out on the way to the hospital.” Jeremy lifted his right hand and rubbed his hair.

“Why did my aunt look for you at the office? Was the culprit caught? Why did he want to kill you?” Xyla

asked carefully.

“She came to the office to talk to me about not wanting to get a divorce. When we came out, the culprit

appeared. After stabbing your aunt, he ran away. For the time being, he still hasn’t been caught yet. I

have no idea why he wanted to kill me,” Jeremy said.

As such, Xyla felt even more suspicious. Everything seemed so coincidental.

It was such a coincidence that May had gone to the office when the culprit attempted to kill Jeremy.

Such a coincidence that May got herself stabbed to protect Jeremy.

Right then, Jeremy did not seem like the strict man he had always been. He seemed to be in shock,

like any other old person who barely survived a dangerous situation. Perhaps thinking that he might

lose May, Jeremy began recalling moments he had with May in the past.

Apart from the terrible memories, there were a lot of good things that happened between them too.

“Don’ t worry too much. Look after your body,” Stanley comforted as he slowly sat next to Jeremy.

Without saying anything, Jeremy leaned weakly against the chair, and he closed his eyes.

After approximately half an hour later, the principal surgeon came out of the emergency room. He

walked directly over to the group of three.

Jeremy immediately stood up worriedly. “How did it go? Is she alright?” He asked.

“For now, she is safe. Miss Conner was very lucky that the knife did not reach her heart. It was a really

close call as the knife was just inches away,” the doctor said.
