Suddenly There Are Three (Bailey and Artemis) novel Chapter 286

Chapter 286

Inside the ICU of the medical base, Felicity was sitting by the bed, holding Maxton's arm with one hand and stroking his pale face with the other.

“My poor grandson. You used to be so energetic. What have we done for you to deserve such a fate?”

Standing behind Felicity, Rhonda—who was staring at the unconscious child—couldn't help but curl her lips in schadenfreude.

Bailey, even though I failed to kill your three children seven years ago, there's still no escape for them now. One has become a vegetable, while the other two have their lungs stricken with poison. These b*stards of yours are fated to become my stepping stones to marrying into a prominent family. Haha, in the meantime, you should enjoy the pain of losing your children. Hopefully, you'll be strong enough to continue living after the b*stards' deaths because Zoey can't wait for the opportunity to teach you a lesson.

“M-Mrs. Luther...” she sobbed while reaching out to help Felicity up. “L-Let's go outside so that Max can rest. I'm certain he'll regain consciousness one day. I have no doubt about it.”

After wiping the tears off her face, Felicity turned toward the teary-eyed Rhonda and lamented, “As his mother, no one is more devastated than you are. And yet, I put you in a difficult position by needing you to console me.”

Me? Devastated? Haha! I can't wait for the child to meet his maker! Perhaps if he is reincarnated as my son, there's still a chance that I might feel sad for him.

Felicity, oh, Felicity. Despite dominating with a strong and shrewd hand your entire life, I never expected you to be increasingly foolish as you get on in years. Even though I'm doing your three grandchildren in, you're still unaware that I've been manipulating you.

“Mrs. Luther...” Rhonda blinked, allowing a huge teardrop to streak down her cheek. “I-It's true that I'm stricken with grief. If the doctor hadn't said that there's hope for Max still, I would definitely feel like ending my life.”

“Nonsense,” Felicity couldn't resist admonishing her. “You're still young. Hence, you can still bear more children when your body recovers. Going forward, I'm not going to tolerate you speaking about ending your life. Do you hear me?”

“Yes, I understand. I'll do as you say. Let me help you out, Mrs. Luther.”

Rhonda was worried that if she stayed any longer, she wouldn't be able to hold herself back from rushing to the ventilator and pulling out the tubes connected to Maxton, hastening his death.

No sooner had both of them left than Maxton, who was lying in bed, opened his eyes.

After what just happened, he had resolved to expose Rhonda within the next two days, for he could tolerate her hypocrisy no more.

After leaving the ICU, Felicity and Rhonda headed back to the emergency room.

There, they learned that the two children's condition had worsened to the extent of falling into a coma. The shocking news caused Felicity to faint on the spot.

Artemis instructed Caridee, “Help Rhonda take Mother back to the Luther residence, and don't let her come here again. I'm worried that she'll be driven mad by the shock.”

“Sure, sure.” Caridee quickly helped Felicity out. When she saw that Rhonda was still frozen to the spot, she couldn't resist snapping at the latter, “Rhonda, what are you spacing out for? Can't you see that Mom has fainted? Hurry up and help me take her home.”

At that moment, Rhonda swept her gaze around the emergency room and saw that the Luther and Chivers family were in chaos. On top of that, the presence of the medical teams deployed by both families was a testament to the seriousness of the crisis.

Consequently, there was no reason for her to stay any longer since she wasn't going to get to see Bailey anytime soon.

I'll come back when the two b*stards are dead. By then, watching her wallow in grief and despair will definitely be an entertaining sight.

After leaving the medical base, Rhonda sent Cadence a message in the car: The Luther family has brought in various medical teams to help save the children. I'm sure their lives are hanging by a thread right now.
