Suddenly There Are Three (Bailey and Artemis) novel Chapter 623

Chapter 620 No Trace Of Fetal Heartbeat

A deep line appeared between Bailey's brows.

I had been correct in my assumption. Victoria was devastated after hearing the news, and the intense sorrow that she felt impacted her infant immensely.

“Tell the doctor to hold on for half an hour. I'll head there right away. Remember to knock her out so she won't cause any fuss.”

“I know. I've already done that ten minutes ago. Sadly, her current state is quite dire and the doctors are unable to do much to help her. That's why I called you. I know you shouldn't head out now, but—”

“That's fine. Saving her baby is more important. I'll head over right now.”

After the call ended, Bailey told Zeke, “Let's head there now. I'm afraid that her baby might die if we were to delay treatment any further.”

“Got it.”

They had just stepped out of the study when they bumped into Steven.

“Where are you going? Didn't you agree to join us for lunch? Mr. Fletcher is waiting for you downstairs. He said he needs you to examine the bodies,” Steven said.

Bailey didn't bother responding and walked past him to the stairs.

An awkward look crossed Steven's face.

Zeke explained hastily, “Unfortunately, something has happened to her friend and we need to go there right away. We won't be joining you for lunch. If you'd still like our family to have lunch together, then let Bay return to the family.”

“Well...”

As he was obviously hesitating, Zeke didn't say anything else and went after Bailey.

Raiden peered at the two figures scurrying down the flight of stairs from where he was in the living room. He arched a brow and asked, “Where are you two off to in such a hurry? It looks like you don't have time to examine the bodies. Do you need me to bring the bodies to you?”

Bailey glared at him and retorted, “Vicky's pregnant and shouldn't be exposed to barbarous stuff. Don't bring them to the Gezmond residence. Please tell your men to deliver them to Justin's medical base.”

With that, she strode to the door.

Waverly's expression turned grim. “How could you say that? Previously, when I said Shirley shouldn't be seeing barbarous stuff, you insisted on transporting the bodies back to the Shurmer residence. Now, you're afraid that the bodies might affect Victoria. She might be pregnant, but so is your sister-in-law!”

Bailey gave her a pointed look and drawled, “I went out of my way to save her baby for you, so shouldn't that be enough? Besides, how could you compare Shirley to Vicky? Vicky is more than just a friend to me, she's practically family, much closer to me than you could ever be.”

“Hey!”

...

Lionel leaned back against the wall in the corridor of the Gezmond residence, listening to the persistent beeping of machines emanating from the room.

His assistant came up the stairs and stopped in front of him. After offering a slight nod of acknowledgment, he began to report his findings. “Mr. Gezmond, I have confirmed that it was Mrs. Gezmond who was responsible for leaking the news. The butler has already subdued her, and they are both downstairs in the living room.”

An icy glint appeared in Lionel's eyes.

I did my very best to hide the truth, but that old lady exposed it easily. D*mn it. She should die.

With that thought in mind, he strode down the stairs and came to a stop at the very last step.

Towering above Kimberly, who was being held down in a kneeling position by several bodyguards, he demanded coldly, “Why did you do this? I've treated you well over the years by giving you everything I thought you needed. Why did you cause such trouble?”

Kimberly let out a derisive snort, and her expression quickly turned ferocious.

“Vincent set me up so I ended up sleeping with my stepson. I became a despicable sl*t overnight. No matter where I go, people would always badmouth me. I've had enough!”

A dangerous look glinted across Lionel's eyes. “So you blamed everything on Victoria. You exposed the truth behind her mother's death to agitate her so she'll lose her baby.”
