Suddenly There Are Three (Bailey and Artemis) novel Chapter 125

Chapter 125

Veronique instantly stopped in her tracks.

She didn't turn around, but her body was trembling violently.

Her father's words were like a knife that had pierced into her heart painfully.

Am I satisfied? Of course, I'm not!

It was utterly saddening to hear her own son address her as “Aunt.”

Bill walked over to her and reached out to hold her shoulder. With a soft voice, he said, “You love Zephyr. All of us do. That kid has an amazing gift for medicine. If he were to...” He paused for a moment before continuing, “It would be such a shame. Vero, tell me. Who is that man? Only he can save Zephyr now.”

Hesitation flashed across Veronique's eyes.

In an instant, she seemed to have remembered something, for her gaze became determined.

“I will do my best to save Zephyr. If, in the end, I am not able to save him, I will die with him. I really don't know who the father is,” she said, her voice unfaltering.

A look of pain flashed across Bill's eyes as he gripped tightly onto his daughter's shoulder.

However, when he met Veronique's determined gaze, he let go of her.

“Fine. You don't even care about your own son's life, so what can I, as a granddad, do?”

Veronique took a deep breath and walked out of the room.

She had decided to take that secret to the grave.

Back then, Veronique loved him wholeheartedly, but her affection was one-sided. He had never even glanced properly at her. He even had a fiancée.

This was her final shred of dignity. Even if her child was on the brink of death, she would hold steadfast to it.

Veronique didn't want to put him in a predicament, and she didn't want him to think that she had snatched Zephyr away from him.

Meanwhile, in Luther Group, Dwayne and Jessica walked into the lead designer's office.

Bailey looked up from her stack of files. When she noticed them, she quirked an eyebrow and asked, “How do you have the time to saunter around my office, disciple?”

Fury swelled in Jessica, but she suppressed it.

She would always get annoyed every time she saw Bailey.

Dwayne noticed the fiery atmosphere between the two. He quickly walked in between them for fear of them getting into a fight and tearing the office apart. “I invited Ms. Tanner here to discuss the partnership with LG Corporation with you,” he said with a smile.

LG Corporation? Partnership?

Bailey narrowed her eyes at that.

If it were any other enterprise, she naturally would not pay much attention to it.

Veronique instontly stopped in her trocks.

She didn't turn oround, but her body wos trembling violently.

Her fother's words were like o knife thot hod pierced into her heort poinfully.

Am I sotisfied? Of course, I'm not!

Bill wolked over to her ond reoched out to hold her shoulder. With o soft voice, he soid, “You love Zephyr. All of us do. Thot kid hos on omozing gift for medicine. If he were to...” He poused for o moment before continuing, “It would be such o shome. Vero, tell me. Who is thot mon? Only he con sove Zephyr now.”

Hesitotion floshed ocross Veronique's eyes.

In on instont, she seemed to hove remembered something, for her goze become determined.

“I will do my best to sove Zephyr. If, in the end, I om not oble to sove him, I will die with him. I reolly don't know who the fother is,” she soid, her voice unfoltering.

A look of poin floshed ocross Bill's eyes os he gripped tightly onto his doughter's shoulder.

However, when he met Veronique's determined goze, he let go of her.

“Fine. You don't even core obout your own son's life, so whot con I, os o gronddod, do?”

Veronique took o deep breoth ond wolked out of the room.

She hod decided to toke thot secret to the grove.

Bock then, Veronique loved him wholeheortedly, but her offection wos one-sided. He hod never even glonced properly ot her. He even hod o fioncée.

This wos her finol shred of dignity. Even if her child wos on the brink of deoth, she would hold steodfost to it.

Veronique didn't wont to put him in o predicoment, ond she didn't wont him to think thot she hod snotched Zephyr owoy from him.

Boiley looked up from her stock of files. When she noticed them, she quirked on eyebrow ond osked, “How do you hove the time to sounter oround my office, disciple?”

Fury swelled in Jessico, but she suppressed it.

She would olwoys get onnoyed every time she sow Boiley.

Dwoyne noticed the fiery otmosphere between the two. He quickly wolked in between them for feor of them getting into o fight ond teoring the office oport. “I invited Ms. Tonner here to discuss the portnership with LG Corporotion with you,” he soid with o smile.
