Suddenly There Are Three (Bailey and Artemis) novel Chapter 339

Chapter 339

After sitting up in bed, she leaned back and asked, “How is Max doing? Does he have a fever after the venom was neutralized?”

Artemis handed a cup of warm water to her. “Drink some water to warm your stomach. I'll get someone to bring you some food in a while.”

As Bailey took the cup from his hand, she noticed a slight change in their relationship.

Both of them wanted to talk about the elephant in the room, but neither dared to start first.

“I...”

“I...”

“You go first.”

“No, you first.”

Cocking his brow, Artemis reached out his hand to caress her cheeks before breaking into a smile. “Fine, I'll go first. I acted rashly back then and got you pregnant without your knowledge. I apologize for that.”

Bailey rolled her eyes as she mumbled, “You don't sound sincere at all.”

Enamored by her reaction, Artemis couldn't resist sitting by her side and pulling her into his embrace.

“I still remember what you told me at Luther Group back then. You said that the man was a rabid dog and that you would castrate him if you saw him again. Now that he's right in front of you, do you still want to do it?”

Bailey shot him a glare.

He must be teasing me for not carrying out my threats. D*mn this b*stard!

With a gentle smile, Artemis nuzzled his head against her neck as he joked, “Just admit it if you can't bring yourself to do it. I promise I won't laugh at you. After all, we're both adults and will be sleeping frequently with each other. If I were to be castrated, it would be the bane of your sexual life.”

Bailey didn't know what to say.

What sort of nonsense is he spouting?

Thump! Thump!

Suddenly, a knock on the door was heard.

Artemis' face turned grim at having their banter interrupted.

“What is it?”

“Mr. Luther, Mr. Maxton is awake.”

Without a moment's delay, Bailey pushed Artemis aside and jumped out of bed.

When he saw her reaction, Artemis massaged his forehead.

Is her son all that matters to her?

When she noticed how annoyed he looked, Bailey couldn't help but smile. She subsequently walked over and planted a kiss on his lips before suggesting warmly, “Now that our child has returned from the brink of death, we, as his parents, should go see him at once. Since we have plenty of time for each other in the future, what are you so anxious about?”

I'm not the one that's anxious, something else is.

Inside the ward, the doctor was fixing up an IV drip for Maxton, who was grimacing throughout the entire process.

“B-Be gentle.”

This is scary!

Annoyed by how his brother was reacting, Zayron snatched the needle from the doctor's hand and—before Maxton could resist—stabbed the needle into the latter's vein.

“Aah!”

The agonized scream was so loud that it could be heard through the entire corridor.

When Bailey heard the faint cry of her son, her heart skipped a beat as she picked up her pace.

The moment she barged into the ward and noticed Maxton glaring at his brother with teary eyes, she twisted Zayron's ear before even saying a word.

“You naughty boy, why did you bully him again?”

Zayron rolled his eyes.

Who's the elder one, and who's the younger one? Who's bullying who now? Just as expected, Mommy doesn't love me anymore with him around. I should have killed him just now with the needle!
