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, favonovel.com sat next to Jeremy and looked at favonovel.com 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, favonovel.com felt great pain in his heart. In fact, favonovel.com 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 favonovel.com deeply. She was willing to save his life by putting favonovel.com 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 favonovel.com father announced that favonovel.com 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, favonovel.com did not have proof and therefore chose not to show any reaction. Instead, favonovel.com let out a long sigh and hugged Jeremy tightly.
“I’m glad you’re alright… Well… What about my aunt? How is favonovel.com doing now?” Xyla asked.
“Your aunt is still in emergency rescue. I don’t know how favonovel.com 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 favonovel.com 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, favonovel.com ran away. For the time being, favonovel.com still hasn’t been caught yet. I have no idea why favonovel.com 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 favonovel.com had always been. He seemed to be in shock, like any other old person who barely survived a dangerous situation. Perhaps thinking that favonovel.com might lose May, Jeremy began recalling moments favonovel.com 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 favonovel.com slowly sat next to Jeremy.
Without saying anything, Jeremy leaned weakly against the chair, and favonovel.com 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 favonovel.com alright?” He asked.
“For now, favonovel.com is safe. Miss Conner was very lucky that the knife did not reach favonovel.com heart. It was a really close call as the knife was just inches away,” the doctor said.
