“Who’d have thought Jeremy would pass away after finding out about these things? Now, Stan suspects that his death isn’t as simple as it seems.
“I don’t know how to tell you exactly what happened. The state you’re in-” Sharon Lindt broke off, feeling a little panicked. She didn’t know how to explain further.
Meanwhile, Xyla Quest was having a complete breakdown as she grabbed the duvet tightly and cried continuously. The pressure in her chest was overwhelming, almost as if it could explode at any moment.
She felt like she was going to die.
Her father was the most important person to her, as well as the person who loved her the most, apart from Stanley Batton and her children.
Jeremy Quest was her only family.
She didn’t even get to repay him for bringing her up since he died so suddenly.
How was she supposed to accept this?
When her father found out about her premature delivery, he'd come to the hospital to see her children, and check in on her.
But now, to find out that he’d died that very same day?
Life was a little too fragile.
Xyla never would’ve thought that this afternoon was the last time she’d see her father. If she’d known, she’d have spent more time talking with him.
She would have never let him leave so soon. She truly regretted not looking at him longer when they met.
Her children had somehow just returned, and she hadn’t even celebrated their return yet.
Now, Stanley was telling her that her father had died. Why was God so cruel to her?
Was it because she was indebted to someone else in her past life? Why didn’t she pay that person back in her past life? Why was it brought forward to this lifetime?
Why did her father have to suffer for her wrongdoings?
Couldn’t she bear all the consequences on her own?
At that moment, Xyla felt suffocated.
She wanted to get up and see her father for the last time, but her children were there right now.
She didn’t dare move at all except to close her eyes and wail loudly.
Seeing his wife like that, Stanley's eyes filled with tears.
Sharon reacted the same way.
Stanley tried to wipe Xyla’s tears away carefully. “Honey, don’t be like this. We can't revive the dead.”
“Xyla, please don’t be like this. Your father would only feel sad if he saw this in heaven.” Sharon was also breaking down.
At the moment, they still hadn’t uncovered the truth about Jeremy Quest’s death, so Sharon still felt responsible for what happened.
