Chapter 351
The soft bed sank when Emily Quest lay on it. She casually kicked her shoes off and kicked her legs in the air gleefully. “It’s much better at home. There’s no way I could sleep on the worn-out bed in prison any longer.”

May Conner lay next to her, turned onto her side, and tugged one hand under her chin while hugging Emily with the other. “Isn’t your mother smart? I came up with the idea of getting you to fake depression so that you could be bailed out to receive treatment.”

“Exactly. If it wasn’t because of that, how could I be freed so easily? Mother, you’re the best!” Emily exclaimed as she hugged May tightly.

“You were great too. I didn’t think you could do exactly what I said. You did such a cruel thing to yourself to make it seem more realistic and to make your father feel even more sorry for you. Girl, you sure are something!” May complimented.

“How did you come up with the idea of having me fake depression with a caffeine overdose? The caffeine tablets you gave me made it seem as if I was really depressed. Even the screening devices couldn’t identify whether I was faking it or because I really was depressed,” Emily said with a look of admiration as she looked at May.

“This goes back to the time when I was much younger. Back then, I liked drinking coffee a lot. One day, I couldn’t help but drink a few extra cups. After that, I started experiencing irritability, anger, depression, and cardiac arrhythmia. I got so scared that I quickly went to the hospital, and the doctor said those symptoms were caused by excessive caffeine intake. According to the doctor, caffeine poisoning could happen to people who consumed too much caffeine, resulting in temporary depression, mania, and the likes,” May explained earnestly.

“I see…” Emily nodded slowly.
