Bailey headed toward Justin's medical base.
She didn't want to be involved in the entanglement between the three of them at first. However, since Scarlett was so determined to bring her down and was planning something against Veronique, she couldn't just stand by and do nothing.
Bailey would soon leave Hallsbay now that the International Programming Competition had ended.
As Veronique's friend, Bailey didn't mind fanning the flames since Justin intended to break off his engagement with the Fletcher family to provide Veronique and her son with a complete family.
In the study of the medical base, Bailey was leaning back against the couch.
Justin handed her a glass of juice. “May I know the reason for your visit, Mrs. Luther?”
Bailey reached for the glass of juice and sighed. “Oh, quit it. I don't feel comfortable with Mrs. Luther.”
“I think the title will stay with you forever, so I advise you to accept it. He will never let go of the woman he sets his eyes on so easily.”
Hmph! Is that even sound advice? However, he's right. Artemis won't let me go easily.
“Whatever. I'm not here today to argue over my title, so call me whatever you want.” After that, Bailey straightened her back and asked somberly, “Justin, if you plan to divorce Veronique, then I'll drop by City Hall and explain to the staff there so that they can cancel—”
“It's fine,” Justin hurriedly said. “I'll accept it since this is fate's arrangement. I'll think of a way to break off my engagement with Scarlett. Then I'll go search for Veronique overseas.”
Bailey arched her brow in surprise.
It looks like I'm right about him. If he really agrees with me going to City Hall to proceed with their divorce procedure, I won't tell him anything about Vero's current situation. Luckily, he didn't disappoint me.
“Are you really planning to break off your engagement with Scarlett? Zephyr is still waiting for the bone marrow to save his life. We can't find any other suitable donor other than her.”
Justin narrowed his eyes at Bailey. “Are you still planning to hide the truth from me even at this stage?”
Bailey was stunned.
Justin continued, “I was already thinking if you've found another way to save Zephyr since the day I found out I was Veronique's husband at City Hall. Otherwise, you wouldn't have come up with such a terrible idea to upset Scarlett. The fact that you dared to do that proved that you didn't care about Scarlett's bone marrow.”
Bailey's lips curved into a faint smile. How could I even forget that he is friends with Artemis? There's no way he's dumb.
“It seems that you've already guessed what Veronique has done. That's right. She took your sperm and planned to have a baby via in vitro fertilization so that she could use the newborn's cord blood to save Zephyr.”
