She probably could not keep the baby anymore.
In addition to getting heavily injured while she was struck with grief, the woman was in an especially dangerous situation, as she also had a lot of pent-up emotions.
Lionel cut to the chase and said, “Only save the baby if it doesn't hurt the mother. Otherwise, you can give up on it.”
Silence was Bailey's only response.
At the headquarters of Tarragon, Yvette had spent two days probing around and was sure that Artemis had lost his memories.
However, it was inappropriate to say that he had lost his memories since he could remember everything that happened with everyone except Bailey.
They were in the study, and Yvette couldn't help but feel happy when she saw that Artemis had finished the soup she had brought him.
He hadn't shown any signs of disgust toward her in the past few days, so she wondered if Artemis had fallen for her.
“All right, get back to your work, then. I'll head out now.”
Yvette deliberately tugged at her shirt as she turned to leave, causing a photo she had hidden in her sleeve to fall.
It was a photo of Bailey.
“You dropped something.”
Artemis' voice sounded from behind her.
She turned around instinctively and went to pick up the photo. However, a hand reached out and snatched it before she could.
The man took a glance at the photo and asked flatly, “Is this your friend?”
Yvette felt utterly relieved when she heard his question.
It seems that he doesn't have a shred of memory of her left. He's forgotten all about Bailey!
“Leader, Mr. Doyle has something urgent to discuss with you.”
Artemis tossed the photo on the tray Yvette was holding and sat back on the couch. “Let him in.”
With that, the latter scurried out of the study.
She bumped into Dominic when she passed by the stairs.
“I'm about to tell him that the Saviors have invaded Tarragon's territory, causing countless deaths and injuries. Let's see how he'll react,” the old man said in a low voice.
Nodding, Yvette replied, “Remember that our main focus is to sound him out. You mustn't upset him.”
“All right.”
Dominic entered the study and bowed to Artemis.
As he pondered about it, realization suddenly dawned on him.
He must've forgotten the moments he spent with Bailey but still remembers her legendary achievements. It's more suspicious if he doesn't remember anything at all.
“Leader, have you... heard of Ms. Bailey of the Jefferson family too?”
“Yes, I've heard about her, but I've never met her. I don't know what she looks like, but she's impressive indeed. You were suggesting that she's the leader of the Saviors?”
With a nod, Dominic replied, “That's the report the agent sent me. I request that you issue a kill order, Leader. As long as we kill Bailey, we will render the Saviors aimless without a leader. We can take advantage of the situation once they fall into chaos.”
Artemis didn't try to hide the killing intent in his eyes. An icy aura permeated the air.
“Then, give the order to hunt her down and kill her in the name of Tarragon. Tell them I'm the one who wants to claim her head.”
Dominic couldn't help but heave a sigh of relief. It seems that he's really lost his memories. All he feels toward her now is hatred for an enemy. There's no way he feels love for her anymore.
“All right. I'll go and give the order right now. Do you want to return to Hallsbay? Rumor has it that Bailey is there right now.”
Artemis grabbed the wine glass on the table and took a few sips. Raising his brows, he asked, “What? Do you want me to deal with her personally because all of you can't handle her?”
“Uh...”
With a wave of his hand, Artemis said coldly, “Can't you all handle a woman? What harm can she do? Leave this matter to the subordinates. I don't have the time to deal with her.”
