Suddenly There Are Three (Bailey and Artemis) novel Chapter 378

Chapter 378

In the living room of a five-star hotel suite, Tamara and Scarlett glared at Raiden with fury etched across their faces.

“What are you talking about, Raiden? Why should I donate my bone marrow to that illegitimate child? You were against that idea previously, so why have you suddenly changed your tune?”

After she said that, something seemed to occur to her, and everything clicked. “It's Bailey, am I right? She persuaded you into getting my bone marrow. Raiden, are you seriously going to sacrifice your sister because of that depraved woman?”

Tamara added, “There's no chance I'll agree to let Lettie donate her bone marrow. You can banish that thought. Also, you need to stay away from that woman. She has Artemis protecting her, and you don't have to concern yourself with that. With the way you hang around her so eagerly, are you trying to announce to the whole world that no other women are interested in the Fletcher family's heir?”

Raiden frowned.

I knew this would happen. Nonetheless, I wanted to give it a shot. Since I've already tried and the outcome isn't satisfactory, I can only resolve this with a high hand.

“All right, then. Seeing that neither of you is agreeable to it, I won't force it. Just pretend I never said anything.”

With that, he rose to his feet and left the suite.

The mother-daughter pair glanced at each other. Scarlett asked, “What should we do next, Mom?”

For a moment, Tamara fell silent. Then, she said reassuringly, “We'll wait for news from Olivia. She'll give us a satisfactory reply.”

After pondering for a while, Scarlett piped up, “Mom, Bailey has influenced Raiden's mind. That's not a good sign. I'm worried he'll insist she's the only one he wants to be with and end up getting hurt. He's your only son. You wouldn't want to see him ruined by that woman's hands.”

“I'll think of a way to make him abandon that notion,” Tamara uttered through clenched teeth.

Meanwhile, Bailey was performing a checkup on Veronique at the medical base.

Veronique grabbed Bailey's wrist and asked desperately, “Bay, do you have any way of making my uterus recover quickly? Zephyr doesn't have much time left. I need to produce another test-tube baby as soon as possible.”

“Even someone who suffered a normal miscarriage would have to recuperate for a month, let alone you who just underwent in vitro fertilization. Three months. There must be no stimulus to the uterus for three months. Otherwise, I swear on my life that I'll remove it,” Bailey responded furiously while shooting her a stern look.

“Three months...” Veronique mumbled. Upon thinking of Zephyr's condition, she could not help but cry as she muttered, “Three months is too long. Zephyr can't wait. Bay, I know you must have a way. I'm begging you. Please help me, okay?”

In the living room of a five-star hotel suite, Tamara and Scarlett glared at Raiden with fury etched across their faces.

Bailey sat on the edge of the bed and held Veronique's wrist. Then, she said slowly and clearly, “Listen carefully. I've already found a way to cure Zephyr, so you can stop thinking about producing a test-tube baby anymore.”

However, Veronique did not believe her. “You're only saying that to make me feel better.”

Gazing at Veronique, Bailey said solemnly, “No, I'm not. I won't let anything happen to Zephyr, and if all else fails, I'll kidnap Scarlett. One vial of anesthetic will be enough to knock her out. After that, I'll take some bone marrow from her body.”

Veronique stared at her wordlessly.

“I know what I'm doing, Vero. Are you really that worried about how I handle things? All you need to do is rest and focus on recovering. Once I've settled the matter regarding the bone marrow, I'll operate on you to remove your uterus,” Bailey said as she stretched out a hand to pat Veronique's head.

Veronique was about to say something when Artemis and Justin walked in.

With just one glance at Artemis' expression, Bailey immediately knew something was amiss. She quickly went over and asked, “What happened?”

Artemis pulled her out of the ward without saying anything.

“What's wrong? Did something happen?”

He sighed and explained slowly, “Micah stood in the rain the whole of last night and fell unconscious early this morning. After his fever subsided, he called me and said he had to see you. If you don't meet with him, he'll go straight to Shannon.”

He was quiet for several seconds before continuing, “Shannon might've said something to him. He's behaving very strangely. If he acts rashly and goes looking for Shannon, I'm worried it'll cause your friend pain.”

Seething with rage, Bailey gnashed her teeth. She hissed through gritted teeth, “Where is he now?”

“I'll take you to him.”

After leaving the medical base, Artemis and Bailey drove to Lunar Bar.

When Bailey pushed open the door to the private room on the top floor, she was greeted by an overwhelming smell of alcohol.

A myriad of thoughts raced through her mind as she stared at empty bottles littering the floor.

Artemis said Shannon told Micah something, and that caused Micah to spiral out of control. Micah knows about Shannon's missing arm, and even that didn't affect him much. So, all that's left is...

At that thought, Bailey no longer hesitated. She strode over to the couch, then reached out and grabbed Micah by his collar. She sneered, “What's the use of getting drunk? Even if you die a thousand deaths, you wouldn't be able to atone for what you did.”

Boiley sot on the edge of the bed ond held Veronique's wrist. Then, she soid slowly ond cleorly, “Listen corefully. I've olreody found o woy to cure Zephyr, so you con stop thinking obout producing o test-tube boby onymore.”

However, Veronique did not believe her. “You're only soying thot to moke me feel better.”

Gozing ot Veronique, Boiley soid solemnly, “No, I'm not. I won't let onything hoppen to Zephyr, ond if oll else foils, I'll kidnop Scorlett. One viol of onesthetic will be enough to knock her out. After thot, I'll toke some bone morrow from her body.”

Veronique stored ot her wordlessly.

“I know whot I'm doing, Vero. Are you reolly thot worried obout how I hondle things? All you need to do is rest ond focus on recovering. Once I've settled the motter regording the bone morrow, I'll operote on you to remove your uterus,” Boiley soid os she stretched out o hond to pot Veronique's heod.
