Suddenly There Are Three (Bailey and Artemis) novel Chapter 215

Chapter 215

Mixed feelings of despair and sadness bloomed in her chest.

My son died seven years ago. Why do I still expect him to be alive? How silly of me! But... If Max is not Rhonda's child, then who is Max's mother? Who did Rhonda steal Max from?

Beep! Beep! Beep!

The phone on the desk rang.

She grabbed it over and saw that it was a call from Victoria.

“Vicky, what's the matter for you to call me at this hour?”

“Bay, listen to me. My brother is arrested by the Department of Justice. They said he was secretly manipulating the stock market and is suspected of getting involved in some commercial crimes. I need to see him now, but I don't know anyone in the Department of Justice. Do you think you can help me make the arrangement to see my brother?”

Bailey stood up in an instant. “Where are you? I'm coming to see you now.”

“I'm at the Department of Justice.”

“Okay. I have some dealing with the head of the Department of Justice. Don't worry. I'll give him a call right now and see if he can do me a favor. You just stay there, and I'll be there in half an hour.”

“Okay.”

Meanwhile, Maxton was lying in his bed quietly in the Luther residence.

Half an hour ago, his father suddenly came to his room, sat down on the bed, stared at him with a mysterious gaze, and said nothing.

A shiver ran up his spine, and he asked, “D-Did I do anything wrong? If I did something wrong, you can tell me directly. Please don't torture me this way. It's killing me.”

Artemis did not say anything, and he fixed his gaze on Maxton's delicate face.

Such familiar facial features. I feel I've seen them somewhere. Maxton's face started overlapping with the oval-shaped face in his mind, and they slowly merged together in the end.

In fact, Artemis had always thought that Zayron looked a lot like him. Back then, he thought Zayron was Simon's son, and it was not surprising that Zayron looked like his uncle.

However, he did not think so now.

Zayron looks so much like me. It is very likely that he is...

“Let me ask you something. Was the blood sample that you stole from the blood bank really your Uncle Simon's blood?”

Maxton was stunned. He looked at Artemis timidly and said in a low voice, “Are you going to teach me a lesson now? It's really not my doing. It was Zayron, that b*stard asked me to steal it.”

“I'm asking you whose blood sample did you steal that day?”

Maxton shuddered and narrowed his eyes to recall what happened exactly that day.

“That day, I went to the infirmary with Grandma. Then, I went to the blood bank alone on the way. The blood samples of you and Uncle Simon were there. I just grabbed one, and then Grandma suddenly called me. I panicked and... I guess it was Uncle Simon's blood that I took.” His voice became softer and softer as he started to lose his confidence.

He suddenly came to a realization that he was not sure whose blood sample he actually took.

What a moment! That did not make sense!

Maxton widened his eyes and stared at Artemis in disbelief. “If I took the wrong blood sample which was supposed to be yours, and it showed that the owner of the blood sample is Zayron's father, does that mean that you're Zayron's father?”

Artemis twitched the corners of his stiff lips.

He felt he was not far from uncovering the truth.

“Max, Bailey did a DNA test for you and Rhonda, and the result showed that the two of you are not related. Rhonda is not your biological mother.”

Maxton snorted as he was not surprised at all. “I knew it a few years ago. There's no need for you to tell me this. I knew that Rhonda is not my mother! My mother will not...”

Maxton suddenly paused and looked at Artemis in shock. “Bay was pregnant with triplets, and her first child was stillborn. Zayron is her second child. If Zayron is your son, then my mother is... D*mn it!”
