novelxo Chapter 345
Originally, Xyla Quest was afraid that she could not attend the gathering as she was injured and it was quite a pity. It turned out
that her friends decided to change the date before she could even explain why she might be absent.
She was delighted. By that time, she should have recovered from her injuries.
Her message in the group had attracted countless friends immediately. They were tagging her incessantly, greeting her and
asking how she was doing recently. Xyla replied patiently to all their messages.
She became the star of the group chat all of a sudden. While she was texting on WeChat, Lana Harrison’s call came in.
Xyla picked up her call happily.
“Hey Xyla, my husband told me that you were bullied and seriously injured by Fred Thomson, are you okay? How do you feel
now? I’d love to visit you but I’m abroad right now, and I won’t be able to return for some time.” The anxiety in Lana’s voice was
unbearable.
Xyla felt warmed as she heard her voice. A sweet smile blossomed on her face. “I’m fine Aunt Lana, I’m already home. You don’t
have to worry about me or fly over to see me, I’m all good.”
“That’s great, that’s great.” Lana gradually relaxed and she sounded more relieved now, “Oh right, Xyla, I have bad news for
you.”
“What is it?” Xyla asked.
Lana let out a heavy sigh. “You better be prepared. Emily might be released...”
Xyla was not really surprised with it. She had thought of this possibility ever since she found out that Emily Quest suffered from
major depression. Mental illness like this could draw one’s life if it went bad.
In times like this, if the family members strongly insisted that they wanted to bring her home, the police would have considered
execution outside the prison. After all, it would be troublesome to them if anyone was found dead inside the detention center.
Especially a wealthy girl like Emily.
“Hmm... I expected that.” Xyla smiled bitterly.
“Her condition is really serious. She tried to commit suicide in the hospital again yesterday, stabbing herself in the main artery of
her leg.”
“Your father is trying to apply for medical parole for her now, and I think my husband agrees to approve.”
“Sigh, you know, if he refuses to let her go and anything happens to her in the detention center, he will get himself into trouble
then.” Lana sounded kind of helpless on the other end of the phone.
Xyla did not expect that Emily would commit suicide twice in such a short period of time. It was undoubtedly that the police did
not dare to bring her back to the detention center anymore due to her high frequency of haunting suicides.
“It’s okay Aunt Lana, just let uncle do what he pleases.” Xyla said.
“Xyla, I’m so sorry.”
“It’s okay, I understand.”
Xyla exchanged a few more greetings with Lana before she hung up the phone.
Georgie Clementine was sitting closely beside Xyla and she heard their conversation clearly. She glared at Xyla with a dark face
and asked, “So what now? Emily is coming out?”
Xyla held her forehead wearily. “Yeah, no choice. According to her condition right now, it has to be this way.”
“I feel like she’s faking it.” Georgie suspected.
“There’s a professional device to detect depression now, she can’t possibly fool that device. She’s not that pro either, you think
highly of her.” Xyla told Georgie.
