Suddenly There Are Three (Bailey and Artemis) novel Chapter 226

Chapter 226

Of course! She is his biological mother, so it isn't surprising for them to share the same blood type.

Although he wanted to voice his thoughts, he decided against it.

He decided he would find a suitable time to tell her about it after he had settled everything.

“How is it? Is he doing all right?”

Bailey nodded and sighed. “This child has been through so much. First, someone drugged him. Now...”

As though a lightbulb went off in her head, her voice suddenly trailed off, and she slowly looked up. Gritting her teeth, she seethed, “I know it was no accident that the brakes failed. Rather, it was on purpose. Someone wants to kill Max, but who can that be?”

Artemis did not reply. Instead, he gave her a knowing look.

Instantly, Bailey got the hint. “It seems like you need to get rid of Rhonda as soon as possible. She is now pregnant with a child that the Luther family approves of. Therefore, Max has become her biggest hurdle, and it is no surprise that she wants to get rid of him. What do you plan to do next about it?”

Artemis kept quiet for a second before he announced, “I'll ask Ken to spread the news that Max had a car accident and is in serious condition.”

Frowning, Bailey tried to comprehend his plan. “Are you trying to give everyone the impression that Max is on his deathbed and...”

“Yes. While we find a way to deal with Rhonda, we need to keep Max hidden away. She's crazy and can do anything. Who knows? She probably has more vicious tricks up her sleeve, and I don't think Max can take another blow from her,” Artemis explained.

“Okay, you do make sense. However, please don't make it sound like Max has already left us. Why not tell others that he is in grave condition and in a coma? You could say there is little chance for him to wake up. Meanwhile, we can keep Max in the medical base to recover. Our priority is still to remove Rhonda as a threat.”

Artemis nodded. “Okay.”

Meanwhile, a loud voice sounded over a phone. “Idiot!”

Rhonda subconsciously squeezed her phone and snarled, “No matter how stupid I may be, I'll still be better than a coward like you. Cadence, you told me you could destroy Maxton once and for all. So much time has passed and yet have you done anything? It's ridiculous! How could you dream of doing big things when you don't even dare to take risks? What a joke! It is no wonder why you can't beat Bailey.”

Utter silence followed.

A few minutes passed, yet no one spoke. Finally, Cadence replied grimly, “Tell me—how confident are you that he's dead?”

“The driver died on impact, and there was a wide gash on the boy's head. There is no way he could survive that. I don't know what kind of news the Luther family received, but that old biddy kept crying. Artemis must have contacted her to let her know that the boy died.”

There was a deep sigh on the other end of the line. “Well, it is what it is. There is no point in pushing the blame. For now, you should stay in the Luther family. Cry if you have to and put up a good act. While you do your part, I will take care of the rest. You only have to make sure not to give yourself away.”

“I know.”

Shortly after, Rhonda came down the stairs to the living room and saw Felicity sobbing in Gerald's arms.

After she descended from the last step, she weakly walked to the couch. In a shaky voice, she asked, “Mrs. Luther, is Max doing okay? Is he feeling better now?”

Hearing her voice, Felicity pulled away from Gerald's embrace and quickly turned to Rhonda.

After she helped Rhonda to the couch, she choked out, “I thought I told you to stay in the room and not to move around so much. Why didn't you listen to me? You are in your first trimester, and anything can happen. What if something bad happens to you?”

Holding Felicity's wrists, Rhonda looked at the older woman with teary eyes. Her voice was hoarse when she replied, “My child got into an accident. As a mother, how could I sit around and do nothing about it? Mrs. Luther, please tell me how Max is doing.”

Seeing how emotional Rhonda seemed, Felicity panicked. She was afraid that her emotions might affect her pregnancy negatively.

“It's fine. Max is doing okay. I'm sure Artemis will find a way to save him. Don't get agitated.”

Plop.

Tears started to flow down Rhonda's cheeks.
