Suddenly There Are Three (Bailey and Artemis) novel Chapter 761

Chapter 761 Testing the Medicine

Bailey held his head and fiercely kissed his handsome face several times.

“Alright, since you're being so honest, I'll help clear up your confusion. This is a life-extending medicine, but to be honest, I don't quite understand the specific principles behind it either. That old man had spent most of his life researching and finally came up with this invention, which didn't seem so easy to understand. I soaked a rabbit, drained of all its blood, in the potion. Despite having not a single drop of blood left in its body, the rabbit clung to life and didn't die. So, I guess this medicinal herb can prolong life.”

Then continued, “Probably, Dr. White's final thoughts were the same as mine - to detoxify by exchanging blood. That's why he researched and developed this herb, so that people wouldn't die immediately after losing blood.”

The smile on Artemis' face gradually grew stronger. As long as there was a chance to survive and a possibility of living, he was willing to give it a try.

“Alright, I'll let you draw my blood tonight. Let's give this method a try and see if it works.” Bailey glared at him.

“Do you think this is a game? Just saying you want to try it out? I've only tested it on rabbits, not on humans. So, I'm not quite sure. If all the blood in your body is drained, this medicine would be useless for you. Wouldn't that mean certain death for you?”

Artemis' thoughts stirred, and he immediately became alert.

Could it be that this woman is trying to risk her life? If that's the case, I might as well bear the suffering myself.

After all, if she died, he would immediately follow her in death. If she didn't die, and he tested the medicine instead, he wouldn't die either. So, he felt there was absolutely no need for her to suffer.

“Then you should try it on a few more animals and see if they all come back to life. If they do, there's no need for us to hesitate. After all, we're facing death either way, and it would be a blessing if we could survive.”

Bailey nodded with a smile, but she had other plans in her mind. The anatomical structure of animals was different from that of humans. Just because an experiment was successful on animals, it didn't necessarily mean it would be successful on humans.

So, they still had to use living people for experiments. She couldn't bring herself to sacrifice others for her own benefit, nor could she let Artemis take the risk. She had no choice but to try it herself.

“It's getting late. Let's go back and rest for now. We'll talk about it tomorrow.”

Artemis let out a silent sigh. It seemed his guess was right; this woman truly intended to try the medicine herself. How could he bear to see her suffer like this? After leaving the laboratory, the two of them walked along the corridor toward the Luther residence.

As they were about to reach the Luther residence, Artemis suddenly stopped in his tracks, turned his head to look at her, and leisurely said, “Bailey, if you have to personally handle things like testing medicine, doesn't that make me somewhat useless?”

The smile on Bailey's face stiffened, realizing that he had figured out her thoughts. The next moment, she hurriedly reached into her pocket, attempting to use a stupefying drug to knock him out.

Artemis was already prepared, so how could he let her succeed? In a flash, he moved closer to her, grabbing her arm with one hand and placing the other on the back of her head. Bailey was subdued by him, realizing that he wanted to knock her out.

She quickly spoke up, “Artemis, don't hit me. I was wrong. I really, really know I was wrong. Let me bleed you, and then observe your condition. If it were someone else, I wouldn't feel at ease.”

Artemis shook his head, leaned down to kiss her forehead, and said softly, “This process is too cruel for you. It's better not to watch. Tarragon has so many doctors. They will take good care of me. Go and have a good sleep, and when you wake up, everything will be fallen into place.”

Bailey's face suddenly darkened, and her smile completely disappeared.

She glared at him fiercely, gritting her teeth and said, “I haven't gotten over you feeding me memory loss pill last time. If you dare to knock me out, I'll never forgive you in this lifetime.”

Artemis smiled, his gentle gaze sweeping across her pretty face.

“Bailey, no matter the outcome, I'll always be by your side. You don't need to worry; I won't forcefully keep you in this world anymore. If I leave, I'll be waiting for you on the road to heaven.”
