Suddenly There Are Three (Bailey and Artemis) novel Chapter 266

Chapter 266

Veronique was taken aback for a moment, baffled by his sudden reaction.

“Didn't you always want to marry Scarlett? I just asked you to marry her sooner for the sake of saving Zephyr!”

“You...”

Justin was furious. After staring at her delicate face for a long moment, he lowered his head and started laughing.

“Veronique, how could you be so cruel? How could you sacrifice me for the sake of saving our son?”

Veronique was even more confused. She stared at him in bewilderment and asked blankly, “If it was not for Zephyr, would you have entertained the thought of breaking up your engagement with Scarlett?”

Justin froze on the spot.

Veronique chuckled bitterly, pushed him away slowly, and said in a sad tone, “Justin, I don't know why you're being so difficult now. I just hope that you can take Zephyr's life seriously. Scarlett is the only person who can save him now! Don't you think that, as a father, you should agree to all of the requests that Scarlett makes? Everything is worth it as long she's willing to donate her bone marrow to Zephyr.”

Justin scoffed and sneered, “Veronique, you are quite the saint, aren't you?”

Veronique bit her lip and said nothing.

Landing a punch on the wall beside Veronique, Justin said through gritted teeth, “All right. As you wish, I'll marry Scarlett and persuade her to donate her bone marrow.”

With that, he threw away the cane in his hand and limped toward the end of the corridor.

Veronique's legs buckled, and she slumped onto the ground. She looked at his leaving figure, and tears rolled from the corners of her eyes.

This was the best solution she could think of to minimize the damage.

I'm sorry, Justin. In order to save Zephyr, I have no choice but to sacrifice you.

In the study in Shelbert Condominium, Bailey looked at the pair of children in front of her and sighed. “I know the two of you like Hallsbay very much, but we really have to leave this city this time. You guys go pack your things, as we might leave the country anytime.”

Zayron and Susan exchanged looks, seeing the doubt in each other's eyes.

“Mommy, you're doing so well in Hallsbay. Why do you want to leave all of a sudden?”

Bailey did not explain. She caressed Susan's head and said with a smile, “The same old rule—just do as I say. You don't have to ask so much because even if I explain it, you may not understand.”

Susan wanted to speak, but she was stopped by Zayron grabbing her hand. He gestured for her to stop asking questions. She pouted and stepped back gloomily.

Zayron gave his mother a smile and said, “Bailey, we'll follow you wherever you go.”

Despite saying that, Zayron was planning something else in his heart.

Bailey wants to escape from Hallsbay? No way! I will not let that happen! I finally found my rich and powerful dad, and I haven't gained any benefits from him yet. I'm not going to let go easily. As for my mom... I guess selling her to any man is the same. Isn't it better to sell her to Artemis since they've at least slept together before? He managed to make three babies in one night! I think he's pretty strong. He should be able to handle my ferocious mother.

After Bailey left, Zayron chased Susan out too, leaving himself alone in the study. He then sent Artemis a text message: Ratemis, my mom is about to run away. Please make sure that she's not able to get out of Hallsbay. If she leaves, it will be very difficult for you to get her back in the future.
