Suddenly There Are Three (Bailey and Artemis) novel Chapter 711

Chapter 711 Promise To Obey Me

Zain shrugged his shoulders.

“I had wanted to go see her, but she and her man were... Since it wasn't convenient, there was no point in me courting trouble.”

Veronique let out a chuckle before giving him an intent look. “Thank you, Mr. Bryne. I'll give your suggestion due consideration. It's just that seeking the Yablon family's assistance might not be easy. I'm not confident in convincing Mr. Yablon.”

Cocking a brow, Zain reminded her, “Bailey is someone extremely resourceful and well-connected. You can get her to help you. For your sake, I'm sure she'll storm over there and drag Cameron out.”

With that, he made his way to the door and added, “In the meantime, I'll continue researching the cancer cells and find a compound that will be capable of counterbalancing it. Once you have made your decision, come see me at the lab. You guys should focus on getting Cameron; I'll take care of the rest.”

“All right. Thank you.”

After watching Zain's silhouette disappear, Justin narrowed his eyes at Veronique as he asked, “Are you really going to do this?”

Veronique responded with a wry smile. “Justin, the chances of survival are seventy percent. Why shouldn't I go along with it? Am I supposed to accept death just like that?”

Justin was at a loss for words.

At the outdoor grounds of the medical base the next day, Bailey and Shannon were giving each other a farewell hug.

“Take good care of yourself. I pray that once you're fully recovered, you'll finally enjoy peace for the rest of your days.”

“Mmm-hmm. You too. No matter where you go after leaving Tarragon, remember to give me a call. Don't forget that you have a friend here in Hallsbay who'll always miss you.”

Raising her gaze, Shannon kept her tears at bay as she replied in a choked voice, “I will. Regardless of where I am, I'll never forget you.”

With that, she gently nudged Bailey away before heading into the flight terminal.

Just as he passed Bailey by, Holden stopped in his tracks and gave her a nod. “I'll be leaving Wendy and her son in your care while I'm gone. I'll return immediately once I've dealt with Shannon's affairs.”

Bailey cocked a brow as she teased, “I'll keep an eye on them only if you promise to do whatever I say going forward.”

While Holden was rendered speechless, Artemis threaded his arm around her waist. “Stop trying to make fun of him.”

Bailey then flashed a cheeky smile at Holden. "What are you waiting for? If you don't agree, I'll kick her out.”

Left without a choice, Holden bowed with a wry smile. “Fine. Just take care of them while I'm gone.”

His acquiescence triggered a triumphant laugh from her. “That's more like it. As long as she stays in the medical base and behaves, no one will lay a finger on her.”

Thereafter, Holden uttered a word of thanks before departing on hisjourney.

Once he was gone, Bailey wrapped her arms around Artemis' neck and looked up at him. “Take good care of yourself. I promise you that I won't leave home for no good reason and will focus on looking after the children. While I'm at it, I'll take good care of myself.”

Artemis responded by pinching her on the cheeks. “You shouldn't leave home even if it's important. Get one of our subordinates to take care of it. I'll be gone for half a month at the longest and a week at the shortest. I hope to see the glow return to your face once I'm back.”

“Okay. Go on now.”

After adjusting Bailey's mink coat for her, Artemis turned to Zeke. “Please take good care of her. I'll buy you a drink when I'm back.”

Zeke flashed a grin at him. “This will be the last time. Keeping an eye on her is such a pain.”

Bailey kicked him in jest. “Why are you complaining? You should be honored to have such a capable sister.”

Meanwhile, several small figures came up to them in the snow.

After releasing Bailey, Artemis leaned down to catch the little girl that threw herself at him.

“Daddy, since you're the leader of Tarragon, does that make me, your daughter, the princess?”
