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

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.

“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.
