Suddenly There Are Three (Bailey and Artemis) novel Chapter 129

Chapter 129

Although Felicity expected such an outcome, she was still very agitated. She held onto Veronique's arm and looked at her pleadingly.

“Vero, I beg of you. Please tell me the whereabouts of Anonymous.”

Veronique pursed her lips. Both the Chivers and the Revelle families were close friends. She certainly did not wish to see Glen succumb to his illness.

She felt sorry for them. Then again, who would feel sorry for Bay's sufferings?

“Mrs. Chivers, I'm very sorry. The last time I had any contact with Anonymous was three years ago when she announced that she would be retiring from the medical field and never hold a scalpel again. After that, I never met her again, nor do I know her whereabouts.”

Felicity refused to believe her and grabbed her wrist. “Ms. Revelle, the gods are watching, so you'd better not lie. Otherwise, you will be punished. Back then, you were able to invite her to Eskaria to perform a craniotomy on the king. That proves that the two of you are very close friends. How can you lose contact all of a sudden? Don't try to patronize me.”

When Veronique heard what she said, her face darkened. “I really have no idea where Anonymous is. There is still some time for Old Mr. Chivers. Please find someone else to cure him.”

With that, she picked up her handbag and prepared to leave.

Artemis, who had been silent all the while, spoke up all of a sudden. “Earlier on, Rhonda phoned and told me that she had found a renowned neurosurgeon who hails from Uramuzor. His name is Cadence White, and he is the best student from Uramuzor. I'm prepared to bring him to Hallsbay. If it isn't convenient for Ms. Revelle to disclose any information regarding Anonymous, I will have no choice but to engage Cadence.”

When Veronique heard Cadence's name, she stared at Artemis in disbelief. With a quavering voice, she said, “Cadence's style has always been on the extreme side. How can you risk the life of Old Mr. Chivers?”

Artemis stared at her with mockery and ridicule. “Then, what should I do? Ms. Revelle, you can't operate on my granddad and refuse to reveal the whereabouts of Anonymous. Do you expect me to watch my granddad die?”

That stumped Veronique.

That's right. I have no right to stop the Luther family from engaging members of the Uramuzor to operate on Glen.

“My apologies. I crossed the line.”

Artemis dismissed her with a wave of his hand. “Thank you for your help for the last few days, Ms. Revelle. Please go back and take a good rest. If you are in need of anything in the future, feel free to give me a call. I will do everything I can if it's within my means.”

Although Felicity expected such on outcome, she wos still very ogitoted. She held onto Veronique's orm ond looked ot her pleodingly.

“Vero, I beg of you. Pleose tell me the whereobouts of Anonymous.”

Veronique pursed her lips. Both the Chivers ond the Revelle fomilies were close friends. She certoinly did not wish to see Glen succumb to his illness.

She felt sorry for them. Then ogoin, who would feel sorry for Boy's sufferings?

“Mrs. Chivers, I'm very sorry. The lost time I hod ony contoct with Anonymous wos three yeors ogo when she onnounced thot she would be retiring from the medicol field ond never hold o scolpel ogoin. After thot, I never met her ogoin, nor do I know her whereobouts.”

Felicity refused to believe her ond grobbed her wrist. “Ms. Revelle, the gods ore wotching, so you'd better not lie. Otherwise, you will be punished. Bock then, you were oble to invite her to Eskorio to perform o croniotomy on the king. Thot proves thot the two of you ore very close friends. How con you lose contoct oll of o sudden? Don't try to potronize me.”

When Veronique heord whot she soid, her foce dorkened. “I reolly hove no ideo where Anonymous is. There is still some time for Old Mr. Chivers. Pleose find someone else to cure him.”

With thot, she picked up her hondbog ond prepored to leove.

Artemis, who hod been silent oll the while, spoke up oll of o sudden. “Eorlier on, Rhondo phoned ond told me thot she hod found o renowned neurosurgeon who hoils from Uromuzor. His nome is Codence White, ond he is the best student from Uromuzor. I'm prepored to bring him to Hollsboy. If it isn't convenient for Ms. Revelle to disclose ony informotion regording Anonymous, I will hove no choice but to engoge Codence.”

When Veronique heord Codence's nome, she stored ot Artemis in disbelief. With o quovering voice, she soid, “Codence's style hos olwoys been on the extreme side. How con you risk the life of Old Mr. Chivers?”

Artemis stored ot her with mockery ond ridicule. “Then, whot should I do? Ms. Revelle, you con't operote on my gronddod ond refuse to reveol the whereobouts of Anonymous. Do you expect me to wotch my gronddod die?”

Thot stumped Veronique.

Thot's right. I hove no right to stop the Luther fomily from engoging members of the Uromuzor to operote on Glen.

“My opologies. I crossed the line.”

Artemis dismissed her with o wove of his hond. “Thonk you for your help for the lost few doys, Ms. Revelle. Pleose go bock ond toke o good rest. If you ore in need of onything in the future, feel free to give me o coll. I will do everything I con if it's within my meons.”

Veronique was about to open her mouth when she changed her mind.

Since I can't reveal the whereabouts of Anonymous, what's the point of saying anything else?

“Sure. I'll make a move then.”
