Suddenly There Are Three (Bailey and Artemis) novel Chapter 757

Chapter 757 The Cancer Cells Have Been Destroyed

It turned out that when she was being hurt deeply, even breathing seemed to hurt her. They shared the same world, and that suffocated her with a sense of suppression.

She wanted to struggle and resist, but her arms were tightly bound, and she was unable to move. She could only tilt her head back and forced herself to endure his relentless demands.

This man had completely lost control. As he suddenly leaned in, he pressed her against the stone table. She couldn't see any calmness or restraint in his eyes.

All she saw was an intense mixture of madness and devastation.

The overwhelming surge of love and hatred that had been pent up within him flooded out like a bursting river, engulfing them both in its powerful current. They were lost in the depths of the ocean, unable to find a way out.

A cold sensation washed over Shannon's body. Her mind began to buzz, and she felt as if the world was spinning.

She wondered what had driven this man to such a state of madness. She broke the silence.

“Micah, I have just set aside all my hatred and come out from the depth of the firepit. I've adopted a child and am ready to start anew. Do you really want to push me back into the abyss and make me continue to harbor hatred?”

Micah's movements abruptly halted, and the madness in his eyes rapidly faded away. He gradually regained his sanity from the state of losing control. His pitch-black gaze fell upon her, locking her firmly within his sight.

“Shannon, since you've already come out from the firepit, why won't you try to accept me? Apart from allowing them to chop off your arm, I knew nothing else. If you still dwell on the pain of losing your arm, I can compensate you with one of mine. That way, we'll be even, and you won't have to hate me anymore, all right?”

As he spoke, he gently caressed her face. His fingertips trembled slightly.

His touch was so delicate as if he was afraid of hurting her. Shannon turned her face away slightly and replied softly, “Don't pressure me. A foster daughter alone can't make me stay. If you push me to a dead end, I'll only choose to let go.”

The glimmer in Micah's eyes gradually dimmed, and he slowly stood up. He asked with a hoarse voice, “I heard from your brother that you're planning to leave. Where are you planning to go?”

Shannon tidied her clothes and walked toward the garden exit as she said along the way, “It has nothing to do with you. If you don't bother me, I might be able to live peacefully for a few more years. So please, don't bring disaster upon me.”

Micah was at a loss for words when he heard that. After seeing her off, Micah slowly looked at the strand of hair in his hand. It was pulled out during their struggle just now.

She left resolutely, leaving only these few strands of dark hair that brought him a sense of gloom and sadness.

Strands of dark hair, strands of emotions. By leaving her dark hair, does that mean she also left her threads of affection behind?

Meanwhile, inside Hallsbay's medical base, Olivia seized the opportunity to visit Veronique in the ward while Justin was in the laboratory. Seeing the skinny woman lying on the bed, Olivia felt a sudden sense of relief.

Veronique was tormented to the point where she had become nothing but skin and bones.

She was on the verge of death. Judging by her condition, her final moments should be within these few days, which greatly relieved Olivia. Once Veronique died, her marital bond with Justin would automatically dissolve, and the Xuereb family could then welcome Lettie into their home.

When Olivia saw Veronique open her eyes, she sneered, “You're awake. You really have a tough life. After struggling for so long, you're still hanging on. But it doesn't matter. Judging by your condition, your time is likely coming in these few days. Just die peacefully. Justin has already agreed to marry Lettie after your death. Rest assured. Lettie is kindhearted and magnanimous. She will treat your son well.”

Veronique coughed softly twice. She was unable to utter a word. Her gaze fell on Olivia's face with a hint of mockery. Olivia looked at the oxygen mask on Veronique's face, and a flash of ferocity flickered in her eyes.
