“We found the same transparent cyst under his eyelid as yours,” Stanley Batton said.
When Xyla Quest heard this, her heart ached painfully.
It was the same transparent cyst.
That could only mean that her father was also affected by the poison!
That also meant her guess might be accurate…
It was Betty Starmount.
It had to be her.
Xyla felt even more remorseful then.
Her heart ached so much that she couldn’t breathe.
It was all her fault.
When Betty first showed up unexpectedly, Xyla had agreed to her and Jeremy Quest dating.
If only she hadn’t agreed to their relationship. None of this would have happened.
She was truly remorseful.
Back then, she should’ve done her best to stop them.
Xyla had all the money she needed to buy anything in the world, but there was nothing more she wanted than to go back in time and save her father.
Her heart twinged painfully again as she considered that.
Seeing his wife like that made Stanley’s heart ache, too.
He promptly sat next to her and softly caressed the tender skin of her face. “Xyla, don’t be like this. I know what you’re thinking, but it wasn’t your fault,” he assured.
“I will make Betty pay for this with her life! It must be her! Ever since she showed up, my father and I were both poisoned. It has to be her!” Xyla shouted.
If Xyla and her children weren’t lucky, they would’ve died with Jeremy Quest.
Betty was a truly evil woman.
