Suddenly There Are Three (Bailey and Artemis) novel Chapter 586

Chapter 583 The Interrogation

“Mr. Shurmer, welcome back.”

A maid's greeting sounded from the doorway.

Waverly rushed out at the sound.

Her heart sank at the sight of her husband's serious expression.

Could it be Bailey...

“Steven, how is Bailey? She's not badly hurt, is she?”

Although she had chosen her adopted daughter over her biological daughter, it didn't mean she could turn a blind eye to her own flesh and blood.

Steven looked her up and down before saying in a low voice, “I thought you dislike her. Why do you care now?”

Waverly stomped her foot and gritted her teeth. “She's still my flesh and blood! How can I not care about her? Can you stop playing games and tell me what happened?”

After a moment of silence, Steven said slowly, “She's fine. Felicity risked her own life to push her out of the car in the face of death and saved her. But... Felicity is now seriously injured and might become a vegetable.”

Waverly stared at him in disbelief, “Felicity Chivers? Did she risk her life to save Bailey? Don't joke with me! I'm certain that woman knows that Bailey was my daughter. How could she possibly use her own life to protect my daughter? It's impossible. That will never happen.”

Steven just shook his head and walked toward the living room.

Waverly stood still at the door. Steven's words about Felicity protecting Bailey with her life seemed to have dealt her a heavy blow.

Indeed, a woman with no blood relation to Bailey and even an arch enemy to her could cherish her daughter like a treasure. But what had she, the biological mother, done for her daughter?

With such a comparison, how could Waverly not be shaken?

“Felicity used her life to save Bailey. Did she protect my daughter with her own life? Haha, how could that be possible?”

...

That night, Felicity's condition fluctuated.

Bailey dared not let her guard down and watched over her in the ICU without even blinking her eyes.

Both the Luther family and the Chivers family, including Zeke, did not leave the medical base and made do with staying in the guest rooms.

When Bailey went into the ICU, she left her phone with Zayron.

“Young master, the dungeon is off-limits to outsiders, and no one is allowed in,” the leader said in surprise.

Zayron waved his hand dismissively. “He's my uncle, not an outsider. Don't be bound by these archaic rules. Where is the culprit?”

The leader hesitated, sensing that something was off about the young master tonight. Zayron might be young, but he was terrifyingly calm, so the leader stopped talking and took them to the innermost cell.

“I received word that someone has been moving personnel within the division. I suspect they plan to raid the prison to rescue the prisoner or kill the prisoner directly.”

Zayron nodded and stepped into the cell.

The scar-faced man bound to the stake looked at him disdainfully and sneered, “A group of grown men couldn't get me to talk, so what makes you think a little boy can... Ah!”

A piercing scream echoed through the room as Zayron plunged a syringe into the man's arm and pressed the plunger down, injecting the red liquid into the man's vein.

“Do you know what this is? It's a drug developed by an unknown doctor that amplifies a person's pain receptors a hundredfold. Your body is covered in wounds from the previous torture, so as soon as this drug enters your system, you will feel excruciating pain.”

Zayron spoke calmly, his black eyes were devoid of fear or hesitation. Even though they lacked the sharpness of his father's, they were still terrifying.

“I've only injected one drop, and you're already feeling ten times the pain. If I inject ten drops, you'll... I know you value your life and are waiting for someone to come and save you. But unfortunately, they're not here to rescue you. They're here to kill you and silence you. So, tell me who gave the order, and I'll give you a chance to live.”
