Suddenly There Are Three (Bailey and Artemis) novel Chapter 763

Chapter 763 The Wife Is Not Easily Pacified

In the blink of an eye, half an hour had passed. She repeated the same sentence in his consciousness, over and over again.

If you die, I will die too. In the next life, I have pledged myself to Edmund, so we cannot continue our past relationship. Please wake up swiftly.

Her own frail body could only endure for forty minutes before being forced to withdraw. As her consciousness returned, she felt utterly drained and collapsed onto the bed. Upon hearing the commotion, Zeke rushed in from outside.

“Bay, are you alright?”

Bailey shook her head, looking at Artemis who leaned against the head of the bed with his eyes closed, and let out a silent sigh.

Did it fail?

If she had failed, it might be a while before she could use the dream-tailoring skill again. Who knew when the next opportunity would arise? It could take ages.

“I'm fine, just wasted half an hour of effort. He didn't wake up,” she said, with a bitter smile.

She had initially believed that he would awaken upon hearing her promise to Edmund for their next life, but to her surprise, he didn't. It was all because of that terrible idea from Cameron. Once she regained her strength, she would certainly go and teach him a lesson.

Zeke's gaze swept over Artemis' body, and he furrowed his brow as he inquired, “What's his current condition? Will he remain unconscious like this?” Bailey shook her head.

“I don't know. Just carry me back and let me rest for now. I'll figure it out once I regain my energy. There's no rush. After all, he won't die anytime soon.”

Zeke playfully flicked her forehead twice and then leaned over to lift her into his arms.

“If only you had realized it sooner, we wouldn't be in this situation.”

In Hallsbay, at a corner coffee shop, Olivia stared coldly at the female doctor sitting across from her and asked lightly, “Have you figured it out? If you have, then be honest.”

A hint of hesitation flickered in the eyes of the female doctor. As a doctor at the medical base, she possessed certain knowledge about certain matters.

However, she knew that once it was exposed, she might not be able to remain at the medical base any longer. We usually disclose everything you wish to know. However, I cannot divulge this particular matter as it impacts my livelihood.

“Please spare me and let it go. I still have a large family to support,” the female doctor pleaded. Olivia took out a check from her handbag and placed it on the table.

“This amount of money is enough for you to work at the medical base for twenty years. You're a smart person, so you should know how to make the right choice, right?”

Olivia stated After a moment of silence, the determined expression in the female doctor's eyes began to waver. If she didn't compromise, she would inevitably offend this noble lady.

In that case, Olivia might make things difficult for her, jeopardizing both her money and her reputation. It seemed more prudent to accept the check and disclose everything she knew.

“Mr. Zain proposed fighting cancer with cancer and injected another type of cancer cell into Ms. Veronique's body. Then, Mr. Xuereb enlisted the help of Mr. Yablon, the son of a prestigious family specializing in drugs, to concoct a poison for Ms. Veronique.

“They attempted to eliminate both types of cancer cells by using toxins to make them devour each other. This treatment plan is absurd. Based on my years of clinical experience, it is fundamentally unachievable,” the female doctor revealed. Olivia's face displayed a look of astonishment.

Cancer fighting against cancer? Injecting toxins into the human body?

If all this fuss couldn't kill Veronique, she truly didn't know what else in this world could eliminate her.

“Are you sure this information is reliable?” Olivia questioned. The female doctor nodded confidently.

“Are you planning to keep giving me the cold shoulder? I barely made it back from the jaws of death, can't you at least welcome me?”

Bailey snapped back to reality, turned on the faucet, and cupped some hot water to wash her face. After finishing washing up, she turned around to leave, but the man behind her refused to budge. She found herself plunging into his embrace. Artemis lowered his head to look at her and chuckled, “Throwing yourself into my arms? Seems like your body is much more honest than your mouth.”

Bailey remained silent, staring at him coldly, her gaze piercing through. Artemis kissed her, but she didn't react. He teased her, but she still didn't respond. Artemis couldn't help but let out a bitter laugh, “It seems like I've really angered you this time. Continuing to pester you like this probably won't do any good.

“Ah, I thought my wife would praise me when I woke up, but I didn't expect this situation. If I had known, I wouldn't have woken up.”

After speaking, he slightly turned his body, making way for her. Bailey sneered coldly inwardly.

Trying to provoke me? If you don't want to wake up, then so be it. If you have the guts, you can go back to being unconscious. Hmph!

Artemis stood at the door with a bitter smile, thinking, This girl... she's quite difficult to please. However, her display of such a willful and girlish demeanor was exactly what he had been hoping for. She had been so tired these past few years, so it was good for her to challenge him and force him to come up with various ways to appease her.

“Wifey, it's okay to be angry, but don't let it affect your health, alright?”

Meanwhile, in Moranta, the International Socialite Gala sponsored by the Hoffman family took place at the magnificent Golden Age Hotel. With over a hundred prominent socialites from around the world attending the grand event, the grandeur of the occasion was unprecedented.

Inside the parking lot, Caridee held onto Astrid's arm and instructed, “Astrid, don't deliberately introduce me at the gala. Try to keep my presence low-key. I don't want to attract attention.” Astrid's eyes flickered with a tinge of guilt.

“Caridee, I...” Before she could speak, a playful voice suddenly came from behind.

“Beautiful lady, we meet again.”
