At this point, Bailey gave a mysterious smile and pulled out the notes left by her master from a pile of documents, handing them to him.
“Unless you can guess what's on my mind, I've already found the antidote from these notes. If you can guess what I'm thinking, I'll forgive you. Otherwise... you can keep trying to appease me.”
Artemis took the documents from her hands and began to read through them with his head lowered. Bailey supported him as they walked toward the couch on the side.
After he sat down, she crouched before him and reached out to pull up his pant leg. Artemis wanted to dodge but stopped after noticing her indifferent gaze.
All right, then. My wife is a bit fierce, so I'll back off.
After ensuring he behaved, Bailey continued with what she was doing. As she rolled up his pant leg, she saw his bruised knee and couldn't help but feel a pang of sympathy.
She couldn't help but scold him, “Why did you use so much force when kneeling? Look at what you've done to your knee!” After saying that, she stood up and walked toward the shelf.
“I'll apply some bruise cream for you. Just stay still and don't move around.”
Artemis let her do what she wanted, focusing wholeheartedly on studying the materials in his hand.
His eyes flickered slightly when he saw Grandmaster Maerlus' explanation about Soul Reaper. Two-thirds of the toxins were in their blood, while only one-third were in the cells.
In other words, as long as two-thirds of the blood was removed, it would be much easier to care for the remaining one-third of the cells. However, there was still the question of removing the toxins from the blood.
In the blink of an eye, he already had an idea. However, he was unsure if what he thought was consistent with what Bailey had in mind.
Bailey took out a bruise cream from the medicine box and applied it in a circle around his knee. Then, she looked up at him. Seeing him having a smile in his eyes and an air of confidence, she couldn't help but smile as well.
“Have you thought of it?”
“Yes. I've thought of it.”
“Tell me about it. If it's what I'm thinking, I'll forgive you.” Artemis smiled faintly. Reaching out to pull her up, he let her sit on his lap.
“Blood transfusion, right?” Since two-thirds of the toxins were concentrated in the blood, a blood transfusion would solve the problem directly.
This method was simple, straightforward, yet brutal. After all, there might be an accident while extracting blood from his body, which could lead to excessive blood loss and death from shock.
However, it could be a way for him to live if he could endure it.
Having neutralized two-thirds of the poison in his blood, he believed that Bailey and Cameron should be able to eliminate the remaining one-third.
Even if it cannot be neutralized, counteracting the poison with the toxin could still exterminate the toxins. The smile in Bailey's eyes grew noticeable.
We indeed share the same thoughts and are on the same wavelength.
However, she had no intention of letting him off so easily. While secretly delighted in her heart, her expression was indifferent and aloof.
“No. What I'm thinking is different from what you're thinking. You guessed wrong, so I can't forgive you yet. Keep trying to appease me.”
Artemis was rendered speechless. Artemis knew she was being mischievous, but he still cooperatively rubbed his forehead.
“It seems I still need to learn how to woo a woman. How about I use the ancient method of asking for forgiveness by bearing thorns on my chest?”
Bailey snorted indifferently twice, then pointed at her own face. Artemis understood and leaned in to gently kiss her cheek. Bailey's eyes were filled with joy.
As long as she was with him, she was no longer afraid of death.
On the contrary, living turned into her greatest fear and nightmare. Artemis turned over and pressed her down, leaning close to her ear and whispered, “I can still love and cherish you deeply.” Bailey's heart skipped a beat.
