Suddenly There Are Three (Bailey and Artemis) novel Chapter 153

Chapter 153

Victoria's smile vanished instantly as she lowered her head.

Seeing that, Bailey tapped the back of her hand lightly. “Come, now. Let's not talk about this anymore. Eat up.”

Yet, Victoria remained unmoving for a long while before finally responding, “You're right, Bay. He's already married and has his own family now. I shouldn't involve myself with him anymore. It was my family that drove him to the edge, and now that he's finally found happiness, I should be glad for him.”

While speaking, the woman sounded especially rigid, as though she were a robot incapable of emotions.

Bailey sighed and wrapped her arms around Victoria. “I'm relieved to know you think that way. The sooner you cut him off, the better. You and Lionel aren't meant to be, so it's best you move on—for both his and your sake.”

The latter took a deep breath. “Yeah, I know. You don't have to worry about me. It's been years, and my worst days are long over. There's nothing in this world that can bring me down now.”

With that, she picked up her cutlery and began digging in.

Bailey shook her head and smiled bitterly.

When it comes to love, only the person experiencing it understands it. I can't feel what she's going through, but I hope she'll forget about Lionel and find someone who truly belongs to her.

In the morning, Bailey received a call from Artemis informing her that she could now proceed with conducting the surgery. The latter had already convinced both the Chivers and Luther families to leave Glen's wellbeing in her hands.

After hanging up, the woman locked herself in the study and retrieved the surgical treatment plan she had made for the king of Eskaria three years ago.

Given how it had been so long since the king's craniotomy, she now felt the need to draft up a new plan.

She had to keep Glen alive no matter what.

Meanwhile, Rhonda was in the middle of a phone call inside the guest room of the Luther residence.

“Don't worry, Dr. White. I'll come up with a way to put Bailey behind bars. You'll definitely be the one operating on Old Mr. Chivers. Please give me a few days.”

A displeased-sounding Cadence replied over the phone, “What's up with the two families? Didn't they already sign the agreement to let me handle the surgery? How could they change their minds at the last minute like this and let some unknown woman take over? Am I that worthless in their eyes?”

“No, that's not it. Please don't be mad,” Rhonda quickly assured with a smile. “Edmund's been charmed by Bailey. That's why he made such a rash decision. But don't worry! Felicity's already found out that Bailey doesn't even have the most basic qualifications, so we can put Bailey in jail as long as she dares take up this case.”

“Fine. I'll give you two more days. I'll be going back to Radford if you don't give me what I want by then, and don't be surprised about what I'd do to you.”

The man hung up right after that.

A frosty look flashed in Rhonda's eyes as she heard the beeping sound of the phone, and she gripped her device tightly, seething.

Just you wait, Bailey. I'll send you straight to Cadence's bed soon enough, so you'll know what it's like to be a victim of his sick torture.

Suddenly, a knock came on the door, and the woman hastily replaced her scowl with a tender smile.

She walked over to open the door and saw a housemaid standing outside. “Hey, Lynn, what's up?”

“Mrs. Luther is downstairs waiting for you, Ms. Jefferson. She says she has something to discuss with you.”
