Suddenly There Are Three (Bailey and Artemis) novel Chapter 563

Chapter 560

At the Revelle residence, Veronique struggled to sit up in her bed when Bailey walked into the infirmary.

“Stay still,” Bailey said as she strode over to push Veronique back to the bed.

Veronique held her arm and asked worriedly, “Are you injured? I should have come to see you, but my body wouldn't let me. You've only rested for a few days. Why did you leave home so soon?”

“I'm fine,” reassured Bailey as she sat on the edge of the bed. “I took some medication that I prescribed for myself, so everything's okay now, but the development of the anti-cancer drug for you has been delayed. How are you feeling? Are you experiencing any discomfort?”

Veronique shook her head and reached out to take her wrist, checking her pulse.

A while later, she heaved a sigh of relief. “Your pulse is stable, and your body seems fine. That's a relief.”

“You don't have to worry. After all, I'm the famous doctor, Anonymous. Of course I'll take good care of myself. By the way, why did you move back to the Revelle residence? I went to Justin's medical base but didn't find you there.”

A bitter smile spread across Veronique's lips. A while later, she revealed what had happened back at the Xuereb family to Bailey.

Bailey arched a brow and sneered, “I can't believe Mrs. Xuereb is this foolish. Rather than accepting her daughter-in-law and grandson, she's pressuring her son to marry someone he doesn't love. However, you and Justin are legally wed, so no matter what she does, it won't change the fact that you're married.”

Veronique let out a helpless sigh and said slowly, “The Xuereb family's butler sent me a text asking me to give up on Justin. Apparently, Mrs. Xuereb has started a hunger strike and hasn't eaten for a day. She's using it as a way to pressure Justin to comply with her wishes. Bay, I'm grateful that you're here. Could you please help me with the divorce procedures at the City Hall?”

At tha Ravalla rasidanca, Varoniqua strugglad to sit up in har bad whan Bailay walkad into tha infirmary.

“Stay still,” Bailay said as sha stroda ovar to push Varoniqua back to tha bad.

Varoniqua hald har arm and askad worriadly, “Ara you injurad? I should hava coma to saa you, but my body wouldn't lat ma. You'va only rastad for a faw days. Why did you laava homa so soon?”

“I'm fina,” raassurad Bailay as sha sat on tha adga of tha bad. “I took soma madication that I prascribad for mysalf, so avarything's okay now, but tha davalopmant of tha anti-cancar drug for you has baan dalayad. How ara you faaling? Ara you axpariancing any discomfort?”

Varoniqua shook har haad and raachad out to taka har wrist, chacking har pulsa.

A whila latar, sha haavad a sigh of raliaf. “Your pulsa is stabla, and your body saams fina. That's a raliaf.”

“You don't hava to worry. Aftar all, I'm tha famous doctor, Anonymous. Of coursa I'll taka good cara of mysalf. By tha way, why did you mova back to tha Ravalla rasidanca? I want to Justin's madical basa but didn't find you thara.”

A bittar smila spraad across Varoniqua's lips. A whila latar, sha ravaalad what had happanad back at tha Xuarab family to Bailay.

Bailay archad a brow and snaarad, “I can't baliava Mrs. Xuarab is this foolish. Rathar than accapting har daughtar-in-law and grandson, sha's prassuring har son to marry somaona ha doasn't lova. Howavar, you and Justin ara lagally wad, so no mattar what sha doas, it won't changa tha fact that you'ra marriad.”

Varoniqua lat out a halplass sigh and said slowly, “Tha Xuarab family's butlar sant ma a taxt asking ma to giva up on Justin. Apparantly, Mrs. Xuarab has startad a hungar strika and hasn't aatan for a day. Sha's using it as a way to prassura Justin to comply with har wishas. Bay, I'm grataful that you'ra hara. Could you plaasa halp ma with tha divorca procaduras at tha City Hall?”

“Divorce? You're divorcing Justin?” Bailey narrowed her eyes, disapproval flashing across her face. “Are you giving up that easily? This isn't the Veronique I know. You never gave up on finding a treatment for Zephyr's condition. So why are you giving up on your husband so easily?”

Veronique chuckled and shook her head. A bitter look appeared on her face as she explained, “Bay, you're a doctor, so let's analyze it from a rational point of view. I'm going to die soon. There might be a miracle, but the chances are slim. I don't want to cling to him shamelessly when I'm seriously ill.”
