too agitated.”
Jeremy’s heart softened. “Let me take you back into the room to rest.”
May shook her head and said through tears, “I don’t want to rest. I think I should just die. With Emily in
such a situation, what’s the point of me living?”

the law.”
“But on the other hand, I feel upset and reluctant. She’s my flesh and blood. She came from me… I
can’t just leave her be. “I’m so upset I rather die. In fact, I feel that I should have just died when I took
that knife for you. If I died, there wouldn’t be so many issues.”

softer. “But she has gone too far this time. I have to teach her a lesson. Otherwise, she would continue
wreaking havoc.”
“Then, just try to get the police to shorten her sentence. I’m not asking to have her released

definitely move Jeremy. After all, the man was now guilty because she had taken a knife for him.

“Really, honey?” May immediately hugged Jeremy and asked excitedly.

walk. I see stars. It’s probably because my injury isn’t fully recovered yet, and I’ve over-exhausted
myself today.”
Jeremy immediately carried her up in a bridal style, his expression softening. “I’ll carry you.”
May gave a weak and coy smile, hugging him tightly. “Thank you, honey. You haven’t carried me like
this for a long time now. I feel so blessed.”

cheeky grin.

onto the man beside her as they walked up to the old couple.
Xyla greeted them, politely, “Dad, Aunty…”

the situation at the detention center.
