Suddenly There Are Three (Bailey and Artemis) novel Chapter 144

Chapter 144

“You better not let me catch you. Otherwise, I'll let you find out how it feels like to wish for nothing but death.”

The boss of the thugs laughed mockingly. “I've been in Hallsbay for so many years and have never been arrested. I'm looking forward to you trying to find me. Bring her away.”

Without resisting, Bailey let the two thugs drag her toward a room on the left of the warehouse.

Moments after she left, the noise of people fighting sounded from outside.

The dozen or so thugs inside, including their boss, rushed toward the entrance.

Bailey kicked the two thugs beside her away, causing them to collapse onto the ground. Then, she dashed out rapidly.

When she reached the entrance, she saw a scene that almost made her lose all hope.

A bodyguard in black shoved a thug to the side, sending him crashing onto the ground beside Zayron. However, the thug was holding a knife, which he then thrust toward Zayron's heart.

“Zayron!” roared Bailey at the top of her lungs. She wanted to sprint over, but it was too far. All she could do was watch helplessly as the sharp blade approached her son's heart.

“No!” Another hysterical yell sounded.

The fighting stopped as everyone glanced over.

They had all undergone special training before. Naturally, they could tell that it was a fatal blow. If the knife stabbed Zayron's heart, he would die on the spot.

Bailey widened her eyes, which were completely bloodshot.

Just then, a figure rushed over and pulled Zayron into his arms in the nick of time. However, there was no time for him to dodge anymore. The knife stabbed right into his back.

Spurt!

The sound of the knife slicing into his flesh was exceptionally jarring in the silent environment.

“Mr. Luther!”

In the next second, two exclamations of shock rang out. Ken and Dwayne rushed out from the corner of the warehouse. They sprinted toward Artemis and grabbed him before he collapsed onto the ground.

Artemis' back was bleeding uncontrollably, looking like it would not stop anytime soon. The situation was extremely severe.

However, he paid no attention to his injury. Looking at Zayron, who was lying in his arms, he squeezed out a smile. “Are you okay? Were you injured?”

A complicated look appeared in Zayron's eyes. Still stunned, he asked, “Do you like Mommy so much that you're willing to give up your life for her?”

Artemis chuckled. “Doesn't liking someone mean that you will sacrifice everything without a care in the world? I've got a later starting point than Eddy and your father. I can only make up for it with my life.”

Zayron pursed his lips and crawled out of his arms carefully. “Don't move! I'll ask Mommy to save you.”

With that, he ran to Bailey and hugged her thigh. Choking on his tears, he pleaded, “Mommy, save him! That knife stabbed his back. You're the only one here who can save him.”

Everything had happened in an instant, and it took Bailey a moment to regain her senses from the shock and despair that had previously engulfed her. When she saw her son standing in front of her, the joy of regaining her precious boy washed over her.

Bending down, she hugged him and mumbled, “Everything's all right now. I'll never let you experience something like this again.”

Zayron was not in the mood to console her. He quickly pushed her hands away and urged anxiously, “Look at Mr. Luther now! He's barely hanging in there. He might die!”

Only then did Bailey return to her senses and rush toward Artemis.

When she approached him, she could smell the stench of blood all around her. It caused her to feel dizzy.
