Suddenly There Are Three (Bailey and Artemis) novel Chapter 139

Chapter 139

Having detected his gaze, Bailey turned toward the stairs and saw Cadence staring at her.

Does he recognize me? He shouldn't be able to. I was wearing a mask when I came into contact with him three years ago. I've never shown him my real face, so he shouldn't know what I look like.

With that in mind, Bailey flashed him a faint smile before retracting her gaze. “It's almost noon, Mrs. Chivers. Let's go see what's available in the kitchen.”

Naturally, Gwendolyn wasn't about to say no to that. “Oh, yes! Eddy tells me your cooking is on par with international chefs. Come on, let's go! I want you to teach me a thing or two!”

Bailey flashed Cadence another smile when she passed him by before entering the kitchen with Gwendolyn.

That made him even more confused.

I definitely know this woman, but I just can't remember where I met her...

“Dr. White? Dr. White!” Yoel called out to him a few times, snapping him out of his train of thought.

“Huh? Oh, sorry, I was spacing out for a bit. What is it, Mr. Chivers?” Cadence asked.

Yoel led him toward the couch and stood in front of Glen as he said, “Father, we cannot delay the treatment for your condition any longer. I've spoken to Mr. White about the treatment just now. He says there is a ten to twenty percent chance of success, so how about you give it a shot? If you don't get the surgery done soon, the cancer cells will spread to the other parts of your body. It'll be too late for regrets, then.”

Glen waved at him with a stack of poker cards in hand. “I told you, I'm not getting treatment. Stop forcing me, or I'll commit suicide!”

Yoel was about to say something in response, but Artemis stopped him. “Why don't you and Dr. White go have a cup of coffee or something, Uncle Yoel? I'll talk to Granddad.”

“Sure thing. Father always listens to you, so you could help us talk some sense into him.”

Artemis nodded and told Glen, “Come on, Granddad. Let's go for a walk around the lake in our backyard. There's something I need to talk to you about.”

“You'd better not try to talk me into getting surgery, you little sh*t! I'll whack you with my cane if you do!” Glen shouted impatiently as he got up from the couch.

“All right,” Artemis replied with a helpless chuckle.

It was unclear what the two of them talked about in the backyard, but Glen agreed to let Cadence perform surgery on him when they returned at two in the afternoon.

Everyone, including Bailey, was shocked when they heard that.

Bailey waited until no one was paying attention before dragging Edmund to the gazebo outside. “Are you guys seriously going to let Cadence perform this craniotomy on Old Mr. Chivers?”
