Ring ring ring… Jeremy Quest’s call came in.
Xyla Quest answered his call immediately. “Hi, Daddy.”
“Xyla, I’m going to bring your sister out. My heart aches so badly when I look at her, I can’t sleep all night long.”
“No matter what, she’s still my daughter, can you understand Daddy, Xyla?” Jeremy’s voice was a little hoarse.
Xyla could feel that he was in pain and anxiety even through the phone.
Her heart wrenched badly when she heard her father’s voice. The tip of her nose, too, was sore.
“Yeah, I understand.” she closed her eyes as she let out a heavy sigh.
Cough...Cough…“Xyla, it’s great that you understand. Don’t worry, your position in the Quest family will never change even if Emily is released. I’ll give my company to you, everything I own will be yours.” Jeremy coughed as he spoke on the phone.
“Emily has lost the ability to go against you now, she’s abnormal. Xyla, no matter what grudges you bore against her, just let go of them, do that for me, can you?” He continued. He was coughing worse now.
“Dad, are you sick?” Xyla’s chest was tight.
She should have thought of this earlier. After all, Emily was his daughter, they shared the same blood, it must be so heartbreaking to see Emily end up this way.
“‘I’ve been running around because of your sister these two days. It’s very tiring and I’m also in a really bad mood. My body is unwell so they sent me to the hospital.” Jeremy explained and let out a heavy sigh.
“What? Why didn’t you tell me earlier?” Xyla was getting more and more anxious.
“I’m probably overworked.” Jeremy Quest added, “I’ve already made a will and handed it over to my lawyer to be notarized. If I die one day, Quest Property Group will be passed to you, Emily and May will get five percent of the share, as well as half of the cars and properties under my name, and about two hundred million.”
