Suddenly There Are Three (Bailey and Artemis) novel Chapter 457

Chapter 457

A tad bit aggrieved, Bailey looked at him with teary eyes and pouty lips that could arouse anyone's sympathy.

“You're being mean to me.”

Artemis took a deep breath to compose himself, unwilling to let the sympathy and heartache he felt for the woman cloud his judgment. The veins on his forehead bulged as he put on a steely expression and repeated, “What did you eat just now? Tell me.”

It was then Bailey knew she couldn't talk her way out of the situation any longer, for it must have struck a nerve in the man, and it wouldn't be so easy to fool him.

“I-It's just a wonder drug to stabilize the embryo.”

Upon noticing how the man's expression became grimmer by the second, Bailey hurriedly added, “It won't affect the baby at all...”

When she put it that way, Artemis' expression clouded over, causing Bailey to shut her mouth in fear.

This guy isn't worried about the baby, so why is he wearing such a gloomy expression? Could it be that...

“I-It won't bring any harm to my body either. Calm down, I—”

“Tell me the truth,” demanded Artemis through gritted teeth.

Instantly, Bailey couldn't help but shudder and stammered a hasty explanation, “There might be some side effects, but nothing's more important than keeping the baby safe. Don't worry, I'll be fine.”

As soon as she finished talking, the man in front of her pulled her into a tight embrace. He then lowered his head and began kissing her lips.

It became clear as day that Artemis was incredibly tensed, for his lips were quivering slightly as he kissed her.

I guess he must've been frightened.

“I'm fine.” Bailey reached out a hand to pat him on the back while comforting him, “I should do everything I can to protect the baby. That's my responsibility, after all.”

In the next second, Artemis pushed her away and narrowed his eyes. “Are you sure it's the abortifacient? Tell me everything you consumed earlier today.”

Bailey's brows knitted together as she sunk into deep thought. “I ate some food from the restaurant, had a fruit juice from the convenience store, some coffee from the office, and... some fruits that one of the secretaries sent over from their hometown.”

The man reached his hand out, intending to pick up the internal phone on the desk and order some investigating to be done.

Seeing this, she instantly stopped him and shook her head. “Let's not alert our enemies. Instead, carry me out of the office and act as if I'm suffering a miscarriage—”

“Don't talk nonsense.”

Uh... okay.

“Then just act as if I'm... in need of medical attention and head to Justin's medical base.”
