Suddenly There Are Three (Bailey and Artemis) novel Chapter 210

Chapter 210

As a listener, Bailey could not help but sigh with sympathy.

Veronique was a tough woman. She once risked it all for love, which brought her so much pain and trauma that could never be forgotten. Nonetheless, she still chose to carry on with her life and protect her beloved child by living in a deserted city to get some peace.

If it were not for Zephyr, who suffered from leukemia and urgently needed a bone marrow transplantation, she would never appear before Justin or have any interaction with him.

“Bay, Zephyr is a child born out of a sin I committed. That's why the heavens have given him so many health issues. I've done my best, but I still can't relieve even a tiny bit of his suffering. Father's beating last night made me realize Justin is someone I cannot mess with. Messing with the Fletcher family will mean ruining mine.”

Bailey sighed softly. Just as she was about to speak, the butler's voice traveled from the outside. “Ms. Veronique, Mr. Xuereb is waiting outside, saying he wants to see you. However, Mr. Luther has warned us to not let Mr. Xuereb in. What should we do?”

Veronique cast Bailey a panicked glance, saying, “Bay, do you think Justin knows something?”

Bailey pondered for a while before saying, “You drugged him and insisted on getting pregnant. He must've gotten suspicious and thought about how Zephyr needs a newborn's stem cells to treat leukemia. Maybe...”

“What should I do?”

Bailey got to her feet and patted Veronique's shoulder. “I'll talk to him. Since you're determined to keep Zephyr's identity a secret from Justin, then we should dispel his suspicions.”

“Do you have an idea?”

“Yeah. I do. Stay here and get some rest. Don't bother getting up.”

After leaving the infirmary, Bailey went to the mansion's entrance, invited Justin into her car, and talked to him for half an hour.

No one knew what Bailey said, but Justin had a conflicted look when he stepped out of the car. He fixed his eyes on the mansion for some time before leaving in his car.

When Bailey was about to get off the car, the door to the passenger seat was opened again, and a tall figure slipped in.

She stared at the man beside her in shock, raising her brow. “What are you doing here instead of being at the office?”

“I missed you, so I came over.”

Bailey was speechless. This dude is acting up again.

Right then, she recalled her conversation with Veronique in the ward about the past. Unable to hold in her curiosity, Bailey asked, “Seven years ago, you went to Pontotium to negotiate a deal but got tricked by someone. Did you manage to escape safely when Dwayne covered for you?”

Artemis was taken aback by the question.

That was one of the past events he hated to bring up. It was also the biggest blow he had endured in his life. I've already gotten people to destroy all traces of the incident. How did this woman find out about it?

As he thought about it, a sudden realization came to him, and he asked, “Justin was rescued during that time too. Was Veronique the one who saved him? Was that when she got pregnant?”

Bailey narrowed her eyes.

This dude is too smart. How is he able to relate the pieces to what I said?

“Answer my questions. I was the one who asked first.”

“Dwayne and I got separated. The person he rushed over to rescue was successfully rescued. As for me, I nearly died in the opponents' hands. Thankfully, I was rescued at a critical moment.”

Bailey side-eyed him and flashed a half smile. “I'm guessing the person who rescued you is a beauty, am I right? What's wrong? Why didn't you develop a relationship with her or something? You know, like those kinds of interesting experiences between a man and a woman.”

Ignoring her words, Artemis grabbed her arm and pulled her into his embrace, leaning over to kiss her.

Bailey was stunned.

“I only have wicked thoughts for you. Yes, just like what you said earlier. The interesting experiences between a man and a woman. Why don't we go back to my private mansion and experience it ourselves?”
