My cold is going away, but the coughing has gotten worse. Iâm feeling out of breath.â Jeremy continued to cough as he placed one hand over his chest and panted.He had no idea that his face had already turned purplish red.When Betty saw him in such a state, she immediately stepped forward to pat his back gently but froze when her hand stopped about one centimeter away from Jeremyâs back.Her hand hung suspended in the air for a moment, and then with a deep breath, she slowly pulled away. âUnderstood.

âXyla, please talk to your father. I was worried sick, but he refused to go to the hospital. â Betty Starmount seemed genuinely worried.Xyla Quest was quite pleased to see her being considerate, regardless of whether her concern was real or fake. It was good that someone was around to take good care of her father.Even if it was only on the surface, it was good enough that Betty made it seem genuine.Xyla frowned and looked at Jeremy Quest. âDad, youâre not getting any younger, and your health is not the same as in the past. If you donât want to go to the hospital, you can come to me. I can help you.ââForget it, I refuse to eat those weird medicines.

Iâll get some for her.âJeremy nodded. âOkay, thank you, Xyla.ââDonât mention it.âAlthough Xyla was not particularly fond of Betty, she

In this city, I am the law.âLeonâs domineering words made him seem even more imposing.At this moment, Hannah felt as if he was a guardian angel sent from Heaven to protect her.Something about him seemed oddly sacred and heavenly.âMr. Batton, do I shoot him in the head?â One of the men dressed in black asked.âMr. Batton?
