In the infirmary of the Gezmond residence, Bailey came out of the operating room, her expression extremely solemn.
When Lionel saw that, his heart sank to rock bottom.
“What's the matter? The baby couldn't be saved?”
Bailey shook her head and sighed. “The baby is safe right now, but it's pretty unstable. For the next three months, she has to stay in bed as much as possible and refrain from being too emotional. Otherwise, she might lose the baby in her belly.”
Lionel breathed a sigh of relief and mumbled, “I'm glad everything's fine. From now on, I'll be extra careful in ensuring she won't get too worked up and affect the baby.”
A look of worry manifested on Bailey's face.
Ensuring she doesn't get too worked up for the next three months? That's tougher than climbing the highest mountain on earth. If Victor refuses to stop bothering Victoria, she'll definitely be affected by him. If that jerk does anything outrageous, such as retrieving Mr. Saunders' ashes from the cemetery as a threat, Victoria will surely get mad and inevitably suffer a miscarriage. That's certainly something that jerk would do. He has lost his mind. There's nothing he's not capable of doing.
“Take her overseas for some time if that's possible. Victor will affect her, and we must keep our guard against him.”
After some deliberation, Lionel reckoned Bailey's idea was feasible. Following a nod, he said, “All right. I'll settle some matters in Hallsbay, then take her overseas to recuperate.” He then lifted his head and looked at the operating room before him. “She's so weak now. Will she be strong enough to travel far?”
Bailey gave it some thought. “Let her stay in bed for a week first. By then, you'll probably finish settling the matters in Hallsbay. I'll prescribe her some anti-abortifacient. There shouldn't be a problem.”
“All right. Thank you.”
“You're welcome.”
Later that night, Bailey left the Gezmond residence and returned to Justin's medical base.
Felicity's condition had gotten much better. Even though she had yet to regain consciousness, all her vitals had returned to normal.
Bailey was, in fact, not worried. Given her medical skills, she knew she could find a treatment method for Felicity.
At the moment, her mind was preoccupied with two matters: Caridee's right arm and researching anti-cancer medicine.
She was in control over two lives.
Based on the intentions Justin expressed, he would most likely follow Veronique if she died.
The couple's fate was in her hands.
In the study, Bailey was formulating a treatment plan for Caridee's arm when the room door suddenly flew open.
From outside, Zeke and Zayron barged in.
Anxiety was written all over their faces as if something serious had happened.
“What's wrong with the two of you? You guys look as though a rabid dog is chasing after the two of you.”
Zayron ran up to the desk, sprawled on it, and panted lightly.
Instinctively, Bailey reached out to pat his back to help him breathe easier.
When she looked up and saw the troubled expression on Zeke's face, her curiosity intensified.
“What is it? Can't you two not keep me in suspense and just tell me already?”
“Tarragon's leader has issued a global kill order. He wants to claim your head. I've received news that many top killers are charging toward Hallsbay. What the heck is Artemis doing? How can he mobilize so many killers to kill you?”
Bailey halted her actions and stared at Zeke in shock. In a trembling voice, she asked, “W-What did you say? A-Artemis issued a global kill order to kill me?”
