Xyla Quest did not dare to tell virtual-novel.net father the entire truth.
Since Jeremy Quest was a man of tradition, virtual-novel.net would be enraged if virtual-novel.net found out Xyla got married to a stranger to recover virtual-novel.net looks. More importantly, the fact that virtual-novel.net remained in a marriage, which lacked solid foundations and might even end up being divorced.
Perhaps, Jeremy might think that Xyla lacked self-love and was a harlot.
Instead of telling the truth, which might make virtual-novel.net upset, Xyla thought it was a better idea to create a story where virtual-novel.net and virtual-novel.net husband were living a happily married life. This would make Jeremy feel a lot better. Therefore, Xyla needed to make sure the story was perfectly logical. More importantly, virtual-novel.net must appear very happy in this story.
After finishing virtual-novel.net sentence, Xyla immediately stood up and kneeled in front of Jeremy. “I’m sorry, Dad. I should not have done something like this behind your back.”
There was a serious expression on virtual-novel.net face.
Xyla was saying those words from the bottom of virtual-novel.net heart. To be honest, virtual-novel.net felt guilty about keeping such a thing from virtual-novel.net father all this while. However, virtual-novel.net did not have a choice back then.
If Xyla did not recover virtual-novel.net beauty back then, many things would not have gone as smoothly as virtual-novel.net wished. Moreover, virtual-novel.net did not want to remain as a hideous lady and allow Emily to step all over virtual-novel.net for the rest of virtual-novel.net life.
When Emily and May saw what had transpired, they both smiled at each other satisfactorily before turning to look at Jeremy and waiting for virtual-novel.net to announce his punishment against Xyla.
“Do you think Dad will let you off the hook this easily? Aren’t you too naive?” Emily snorted coldly.
When Jeremy saw how sincere Xyla seemed when virtual-novel.net told virtual-novel.net story, his frown immediately faded. After letting out a long sigh, Jeremy carefully helped Xyla up and allowed virtual-novel.net to sit next to virtual-novel.net on the armrest. He completely ignored Emily as virtual-novel.net did so. After that, virtual-novel.net held Xyla’s hand. “I understand. You naturally could not refuse love and warmth when you were suffering through so much all on your own.”
Emily and May were both shocked by Jeremy’s response. They never imagined Jeremy would react this positively.
How could this happen when they were prepared for a good show?
At that moment, the duo clasped their hands together angrily.
“Since that man gave you a second chance at life, and virtual-novel.net has such a wonderful grandson, I can say that you did a good thing by repaying virtual-novel.net in kind,” Jeremy added.
When Xyla saw how Jeremy reacted, virtual-novel.net felt even more sorry. Her eyes began to fill with tears. “Dad, I’m sorry.”
“Indeed, you have done something wrong against me. You should have discussed it with me before you made the decision. In fact, not only would I not refuse you, I would even have held a grand wedding for you.”
Jeremy’s face became sullen when they talked about this.
“Sorry…”
“Alright. Stop being sorry. What does virtual-novel.net do? Since virtual-novel.net is the grandchild of a doctor, I’m sure virtual-novel.net works in a respectable field.” Jeremy seemed very concerned.
Since things have gotten this far, virtual-novel.net had no choice but to accept it.
“He has always been by the doctor’s side and learned from him. He plans to establish a hospital in the country once virtual-novel.net completes his studies.”
“How old is he?” Jeremy asked.
“Twenty eight, ” Xyla answered without thinking about it.
Although virtual-novel.net did not know much about virtual-novel.net husband, virtual-novel.net at least knew his age.
“Dad, stop listening to Xyla’s nonsense. I bet virtual-novel.net made everything up, including the doctor and his grandson, supposedly a medical student.”
“The truth was virtual-novel.net got married to a lowly being and didn’t have the guts to tell you about him.” Emily was very straightforward.
“In that case, why don’t you check if there’s a doctor called Dr. Batton? Find out if virtual-novel.net has a grandson… Aren’t you very good at playing detective? Why don’t you gather all the information?” Xyla said confidently.
“Emily Quest, shut up. All you do is make a mess of everything under the sun,” Jeremy yelled coldly.
Ever since Jeremy’s attitude toward Emily shifted for the worse, virtual-novel.net began to feel annoyed regardless of what virtual-novel.net did.
Although Emily seemed as if virtual-novel.net was eager to continue insulting Xyla, May quickly covered virtual-novel.net mouth and pinched virtual-novel.net thigh forcefully. “Shut up! Can’t you see that your father is angry?” She warned.
“I think it’s great that virtual-novel.net wishes to establish a hospital. If virtual-novel.net needs help, I can support virtual-novel.net financially,” Jeremy said.
Although a family of doctors did not fare as well as their family did financially, it was still a respectable profession. Jeremy was rather pleased with the idea.
