Suddenly There Are Three (Bailey and Artemis) novel Chapter 1016

Chapter 1016 Meeting An Old Friend

After hearing that, Veronique couldn't help but chuckle.

Justin wouldn't let Scarlett get away with things easily. She trusted him and believed that the wedding he spoke of was merely a ruse.

“Father, please don't worry yourself. The truth will be out in three days. Besides, I don't even care, so why are you so upset?”

Bill glared at her, laughing as he scolded, “After a stroll through the gates of death, your temper has certainly mellowed quite a bit. Fine then, after all these years of struggle, you've finally seen the lights of hope. I reckon you would cherish this hard-earned togetherness. I'm old and can't manage things like before. I don't ask for anything else, just that you and your sister live peacefully and happily.”

Just as Veronique was about to speak, the phone on the table suddenly rang. It was a text message from Justin: Bailey has returned to Hallsbay. I'll accompany you to see her tonight.

With great joy, Veronique suddenly sat up from the lounge chair.

She hadn't seen Bailey for several months now. She imagined that the latter must have experienced a lot during her time abroad. Veronique was curious to learn about Bailey's experiences abroad. They should be returning on the Luther family's private jet, landing directly at the Luther residence, I presume.

“Father, I'm going to the Luther residence.” Having said that, she got up, ready to leave.

Even though Justin had promised to accompany her to the Luther residence in the evening, she couldn't wait any longer.

Bill quickly reached out to stop her, reminding her, “In the eyes of outsiders, you are considered dead. If you just go out like this, it will cause a huge uproar. Just wait a little longer. Once Justin has dealt with Scarlett and released a statement clarifying that you're not dead, then you can show yourself. This way, we can avoid any unnecessary gossip from the outside world.”

Veronique sank back into her chair, her voice soft and weary. “Ever since I played dead, the dangers around me have indeed disappeared. I'm no longer on the bad side of Scarlett and Mrs. Xuereb. However, these days have been truly unbearable. I've been in this courtyard for nearly three months, practically becoming a recluse. I've been eagerly awaiting Bailey's return, but I can't even go out to see her.”

“You can't come out to see me, but I can come in to see you.” A familiar teasing voice echoed.

Veronique turned her head abruptly, only to see Bailey walking toward her, led by a maid.

Reunited, both of them felt as if they hadn't seen each other for a lifetime.

Indeed, it felt as if a lifetime had passed. After all, she had walked through the gates of death, and now, being alive, it was as if she had been given a new lease on life.

Moreover, she heard that Artemis was afflicted by the Yablon family's prohibited drug, Soul Reaper, and was once on the brink of death.

Given Bailey's temperament and her deep love for Artemis, if Artemis were to die, she surely wouldn't want to live alone.

So, all in all, they'd all had a brush with death.

Meeting each other again really stirred up a lot of emotions within them.

After gathering her emotions, Veronique quickly stood up, took large strides toward Bailey, and held her tightly in her arms.

Bailey smiled and reached out to pat Veronique's back. She arched her brow and said, “Vero, congratulations on your rebirth.”

Since ancient times, no one with late-stage cancer was able to survive. Veronique was a miracle in clinical history.

Of course, it all came down to one daring to treat, and the other daring to gamble.

She adopted the method of fighting cancer with cancer. If she didn't have that kind of courage, she wouldn't have been able to find a way to survive in that desperate situation.

Tears blurred Veronique's vision as she choked out. “I thought I was done for. Even though my medical skills are quite exceptional, they still don't compare to your courage, determination, and insight.”

Bailey shook her head with a smile.

She wouldn't dare take credit for that achievement.

Firstly, it was Zain who proposed the method of using cancer to fight cancer.
