Suddenly There Are Three (Bailey and Artemis) novel Chapter 585

Chapter 582 Bailey Get Involved In An Accident

Bailey fell silent.

Yeah.

Will a man as proud as Edmund ever compromise in matters of the heart? But if he doesn't, will he really live a solitary life? Decades of loneliness stretching out before him, and how will he survive them?

“Edmund, I...” Bailey stuttered.

Edmund sensed her emotions shifting. He reached out and grasped her shoulder. “You don't have to worry about me. Just take care of yourself. Artemis called me before leaving town and asked me to do everything in my power to protect you. I haven't had a chance to arrange for extra security around you yet, and now someone's taken advantage of that window. Bailey, do you have any idea how worried I was when I heard about your accident?

But Edmund? Could he do the same?

In terms of ethics and morality, she was his cousin's wife—they were family.

Her phone beeped in her pocket, and she saw that it was Artemis calling.

She took a few deep breaths, suppressed her grief, and answered the call.

Silence hung heavy between them for two whole minutes before Artemis spoke in his low, husky voice.

“I heard about the accident, and I found out about my mother's condition. Are you okay, Bay?”

Bailey had just barely held her grief in check, but hearing his voice made her cry again.

“I'm fine, Artemis. I'm so sorry I caused your mother to get injured. Her injuries are so serious, and if it weren't for me, she would have escaped in the first place. But she gave me the chance of survival, and she...”
