Suddenly There Are Three (Bailey and Artemis) novel Chapter 625

Chapter 622 Where Is My Baby

Bailey hastily stretched out a hand and swiped the answer button.

The instant the call was connected, Veronique's voice drifted out of the phone.

“What are you doing, Bay?”

Bailey was taken aback, for the woman sounded pretty normal, not gravely ill as she had assumed to be.

“Y-You're fine? No, that doesn't sound right! I mean, is something the matter that you called me?” Bailey asked.

Veronique chuckled softly. “You're too anxious. But that makes sense. You must be in a difficult situation of late. You've got to take good care of yourself. Don't overtax yourself to the point that you fall ill. I'm fine, so you don't need to worry about me. I called you to tell you that Justin is planning to bring me to Terrandya. I want to go and have a look at the endless grassland, Bay.”

At once, a pucker formed between Bailey's brows.

She was quiet for a moment before she sighed and replied, “Since he isn't stopping you from doing so, he probably has no objections to you going. I can also rest easy with him keeping you company. Go and enjoy yourself, then. After that, come back and continue receiving treatment. Don't give up easily. If you die, it'll leave a scar on many people's hearts, one that can never heal.”

“Okay, okay, I know. You must take good care of yourself, too. I need to pack my luggage, so I'll be hanging up first.”

“Okay. Take care.”

After ending the call, Bailey rubbed her sore eyes and said to Raiden, “Keep these corpses for now and ask Artemis when he returns. He should be able to find out the last whereabouts of these suicide attackers.”

Arching a brow, Raiden drawled with a smirk, “You trust him this much? He has already launched a hunt for your life, yet you can still trust him without any reservations. Is he really that perfect in your eyes, Bailey?”

Bailey shot him a sidelong glance. Straightening her expression, she stated solemnly, “He's all I see, and he's my entire world. Bluntly put, I've integrated him into my blood and soul, making him a part of my life. Would you doubt yourself?”

That had Raiden at a loss for words.

He gave a slight bob of his head, his lips curving into a bitter arc.

That's true. Artemis is all she can see, and she even values him over her own life. Of course, she would trust him completely. I knew that, so what was I expecting? Even if I can't get her love, I'll still be able to express my affection for her in this lifetime by quietly watching over her and protecting her so that she can live peacefully in the arms of the man she loves, no?

In the master bedroom of the Gezmond residence, Victoria gradually regained consciousness.

When she opened her eyes, she was blinded by the light shining overhead and reflexively stretched out a hand to cover her eyes.

Out of the blue, a stabbing pain spread from her abdomen. On instinct, she reached out a hand and touched her stomach.

Pregnant for more than four months previously, she already had a baby bump. While her belly was not huge, it showed visibly.

Right then, however, she sensed something amiss.

She instinctively looked down, only to see that her belly was as flat as ever.

If my belly is already flat, does that mean that my baby is gone?

She struggled to sit up, but a hand suddenly pressed down on her shoulder, forcing her to lie back down.

“Stay still. Wait until your body has gotten enough rest before getting up. Otherwise, you'll hurt your uterus.”

She jerked her head over and spotted Bailey standing by the bed. Grabbing the latter's arm, she questioned urgently, “Where's my baby, Bay?”

Bailey closed her eyes and replied slowly, “You're still young now, so you can still have kids in the future. With you and Lionel hating each other at present, this isn't the right time for this child to be born, either.”

Toying with the emerald ring on his thumb, Artemis answered placidly, “Mr. Doyle and the others are already under our control, so they won't be able to make any trouble. All that is left presently is the culprit stirring up trouble behind the scenes. So long as we ferret them out and eliminate the hidden danger, we'll attain our goal.”

“That's true. Yvette will likely contact the culprit because she won't be able to rest easy as long as Bailey remains alive. When we arrive back in Hallsbay, she'll definitely join hands with that person to finish Bailey off. Once they make their move, we'll know who the other person is.”

Artemis merely quirked a brow, displaying a noncommittal response.

“Oh yes, I heard the names of a few people from Yvette's conversation with her personal bodyguards while I drew near to her these past few days. Go and investigate them. You might be able to find some witnesses or evidence to prove that your sister didn't betray the organization back then by leaking confidential information. Instead, it was Yvette who framed her.”

Afterward, he took out a piece of paper from his pocket and handed it to Holden.

Holden took it carefully, very much emotional.

That time around, he had returned to the headquarters to protect Artemis, first and foremost. Secondly, it was to investigate the matter of Shannon leaking the organization's confidential information back then and seek justice for her.

“Thank you,” Holden said.

“You're welcome. When we arrive in Hallsbay, investigate where Mr. Doyle and the others imprisoned Micah and the rest. Then, make preparations to save them. Be on standby at all times. As soon as I snuff out Mr. Doyle's influence, lead some men over and rescue them,” Artemis ordered.

“Understood.”

In the study of the Gezmond residence, Lionel was speaking on the phone.

It was a call from Victor.

“You promised to transfer me the shares, Lionel. You can't go back on your word!” Victor growled.
