Suddenly There Are Three (Bailey and Artemis) novel Chapter 529

Chapter 529

Bailey had already been dispatched for emergency rescue by the time Artemis arrived at the Shurmer family's medical base.

His heart sank when he saw Zeke leaning against the wall while drenched in blood, appearing dejected and confused in his thoughts.

Who's blood is that? Is it that woman? How much blood did she lose? I wonder how is she doing now?

Artemis hurried to the emergency room, intending to storm in and ascertain the woman's condition.

Fortunately, Zeke snapped out of his trance and hurriedly stepped forward to stop the man's reckless behavior.

“Please calm down. They are trying their best to save her. She's in the good hands of all the experts in the Shurmer family. I'm sure she'll be fine,” he assured.

Artemis glanced at Zeke's stained white suit and hissed, “Take a look at the blood on you. How can I be convinced that she's fine?”

The rebuttal left Zeke at a loss for words.

Bay said that the baby was gone. Why am I still hoping for a miracle?

Zeke responded in a quavering voice, “She said that the baby was gone. I had no idea how to save her. There was so much blood on her. She was already in a coma when I carried her to the hospital base.”

Artermis' body tensed up with every word the man uttered.

He became so tense that one would think he might lose his mind in the next second.

“Don't worry, Artemis. I'm confident Bay will be fine. You two are still young. There will be numerous opportunities to have another child,” Zeke comforted.

The man shut his eyes and replied in a hoarse voice, “I'm all right. I never wanted the child anyway. She had a serious case of prepartum depression. Maybe it's best that she lost the child. She won't have to go through the pain and agony of pregnancy.”

Despite Artermis' declaration that it was a blessing in disguise, his fists were clenched tightly.

After all, even a vicious tiger would not devour its young. How could his heart not ache after witnessing his child's death?

However, if he had to choose between Bailey and his child, he would not hesitate to choose the former.

She was his everything; he could not live without her.

“Tell me what happened,” Artemis demanded.

When he heard the man's words, Zeke's rage flared up once more. He detailed their meeting at Century Grandeur briefly.

“Fortunately, Bay was familiar with hypnosis, or the Jeffersons might have gotten their way,” he added.

Artemis' eyes flew open to reveal a murderous glint.

What made her decide to give up her child in order to establish her innocence? The baby could have survived if she hadn't used hypnosis. However, this would tarnish her reputation. She must have been torn between the two choices. Alas, she decided to sacrifice our child. No wonder she swore to destroy Rhonda and Clarence. It's her way of taking revenge and venting the hatred in her heart.

After a moment of silence, Artemis took out his phone and called Dwayne. “Ask the public relations department in Luther Group to report Rhonda and Clarence's wrongdoings at Century Grandeur. I want the world to know of their dirty secrets. Do you understand?”

Dwayne did not question him and simply followed his instructions.

The emergency room door swung open the moment the call ended.

A middle-aged doctor exited, her expression solemn.

Zeke hurried forward and asked, “What's her condition? Is she all right?”

Once they arrived, Beatrice ripped a horrendous shriek and pounced on Clarence.

She yelled, “You, Idiot! How could you be so foolish? Have you forgotten that Ronni is your daughter? How could you commit such a sin? Have you ever spared a thought for her, even if you don't care about your reputation? My hope of marrying her to a wealthy family is ruined. This is all your fault! I hate you so much!”

Clarence remained rooted and allowed Beatrice to release her rage on him.

He eventually could not endure the constant reprimands and spat a mouthful of blood. His eyes rolled back in his head as he dropped to the ground.

The younger servants were eager to distance themselves from Clarence and Rhonda's scandal. As a result, when the news broke, they resigned promptly, even prepared to forego their income.

Clarence's sudden collapse startled the elderly servants, who opted to stay. They immediately carried him to his room to rest.

“Why is this happening? How could you be so stupid to be fooled by Bailey? Your reputation is ruined! How can I depend on you to support me for the rest of my life?” Beatrice bemoaned to Rhonda with a look of despair.

Rhonda let out a scoff. Her face was devoid of color, and her deep, penetrating eyes were hollow as if her soul had abandoned her body.

Zoey and Sofie were hanging out at the coffee shop. The former grunted, “I thought we could destroy Bailey this time. I never expected the Jeffersons to be so useless. They wasted such a good opportunity!”

Sofie swirled her coffee and said casually, “There's no hurry, Zoey. We have plenty of opportunities to teach her a lesson. Moreover, this wasn't a wasted opportunity. She must be devastated to learn that her baby is gone. It's our chance to get rid of her while she's suffering from a shattered heart.”

Zoey scoffed, and her phone rang just as she was ready to respond.

It was a call from her bodyguard.

She picked up the phone and enquired, “Is the b*stard in Bailey's belly gone?”
