Chapter 52


    X Quest did not dare to tell her father the entire truth.


    Since Jeremy Quest was a man of tradition, he would be enraged if he found out X got married


    to a stranger to recover her looks. More importantly, the fact that she remained in a marriage, which


    lacked solid foundations and might even end up being divorced.


    Perhaps, Jeremy might think that Xcked self-love and was a harlot.


    Instead of telling the truth, which might make him upset, X thought it was a better idea to create a


    story where she and her husband were living a happily married life. This would make Jeremy feel a


    lot better.


    Therefore, X needed to make sure the story was perfectly logical. More importantly, she must


    appear very happy in this story.


    After finishing her sentence, X 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 her face.


    X was saying those words from the bottom of her heart. To be honest, she felt guilty about


    keeping such a thing from her father all this while. However, she did not have a choice back then.


    If X did not recover her beauty back then, many things would not have gone as smoothly as she


    wished. Moreover, she did not want to remain as a hideousdy and allow Emily to step all over her


    for the rest of her 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 him to announce his punishment against X.


    “Do you think Dad will let you off the hook this easily? Aren’t you too na?ve?” Emily snorted coldly.


    When Jeremy saw how sincere X seemed when she told her story, his frown immediately faded.


    After letting out a long sigh, Jeremy carefully helped X up and allowed her to sit next to him on


    the armrest. Hepletely ignored Emily as he did so.


    After that, he held X’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 sped their hands together angrily.


    “Since that man gave you a second chance at life, and he has such a wonderful grandson, I can say


    that you did a good thing by repaying him in kind,” Jeremy added.


    When X saw how Jeremy reacted, she 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 he do? Since he is the grandchild of a doctor, I’m sure he


    works in a respectable field.” Jeremy seemed very concerned. Since things have gotten this far, he


    had no choice but to ept it.


    “He has always been by the doctor’s side and learned from him. He ns to establish a hospital in


    the country once hepletes his studies.”


    “How old is he?” Jeremy asked.


    “Twenty-eight,” X answered without thinking about it.


    Although she did not know much about her husband, she at least knew his age.


    “Dad, stop listening to X’s nonsense. I bet she made everything up, including the doctor and his


    grandson, supposedly a medical student.


    “The truth was she 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 he has a


    grandson… Aren’t you very good at ying detective? Why don’t you gather all the information?”


    X 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, he began to feel annoyed


    regardless of what she did.


    Although Emily seemed as if she was eager to continue insulting X, May quickly covered her


    mouth and pinched her thigh forcefully. “Shut up! Can’t you see that your father is angry?” She


    warned.


    “I think it’s great that he wishes to establish a hospital. If he needs help, I can support him


    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.
