Suddenly There Are Three (Bailey and Artemis) novel Chapter 394

Chapter 394

Inside the ward of the military general hospital, Sloan tossed a stack of documents on the bed.

He glared at his son who looked pale and leaned on the headboard. “Look at what you've done. Getting yourself attacked? I've said it again and again. With an ability like yours, no one should be able to hurt you.”

Raiden lowered his eyes and scanned the stack of reports. He said softly, “The child is still young. Lettie's bone marrow can save him. I can't bear to stand by and watch him being eaten away by the illness at such a young age...”

“Shut up,” Sloan interrupted Raiden coldly.

“That child is your future brother-in-law's illegitimate child. You're willing to join hands with some outsiders to extract your own sister's bone marrow. Say, are you sure you weren't bewitched by Bailey?”

Raiden frowned as he uttered, “This has nothing to do with Bailey. Don't drag her into this.”

“Are you sure about that?” Sloan sneered coldly. “You've never let anyone board your naval warship, and yet you made an exception for her. You launched the ship just to send her to Hallsbay. Raiden, do you think I can't discern your feelings for her?”

Raiden's eyes darkened in response. I can't afford to let him turn his attention on Bailey or it will cause trouble for her.

The Fletcher family was about to rise to power, and Sloan would be the one to wield it. When the time came, not even Artemis would not be able to stand against Sloan let alone Bailey.

“You're overthinking it. Bailey obtained the right to develop 5G for Chanaea and it's a great contribution. Hence, I agreed and tried my best to fulfill her request. I'm only rewarding a person who has contributed to the country. It has nothing to do with love.”

“I see you've cut ties with her. All right, since you don't have feelings for her, you should return to Dellmoor and prepare to get married. I've already made some arrangements.”

“I don’t intend to get married now,” Raiden replied calmly. “I will wait for you to obtain the position. Currently, there are some complicated matters that need my attention. Once I am married, I will have extra commitments and may have to split my attention between them.”

What a lofty reason.

Sloan was no fool. How can I not know my own son's true feelings?

“You don't have the right to choose your marriage partner. A woman from an ordinary family simply will not do, what more so someone like Bailey who was not married when she got pregnant. You'd better watch what you are doing and be mindful of your actions. Otherwise, there will be no place for her in Chanaea.”

With that said, Sloan spun on his heel and left.

Raiden frowned as he stared at his father's retreating figure.

Unlike Tamara and Scarlett, Sloan did not mess around when he decided to take action. There was no guarantee that Bailey could handle him.

Bailey was a capable woman, but she was currently in Chanaea. The leader of a nation could easily deal a serious blow to her.

In a bedroom at Shelbert Condominium, Artemis made Bailey sit down on the bed and reached for a map on the bedside table.

“Look at this,” he said.

Bailey was confused. What am I supposed to be looking at? Is that a map of Chanaea? What is there to look at? The land somewhat resembles a rooster, and every junior high schooler would have memorized it. In fact, I can even draw it upside down.
