Suddenly There Are Three (Bailey and Artemis) novel Chapter 873

Chapter 873 I Will Go Mad

Caridee bit her lip tightly.

She was afraid that she would not be able to hold back and end up fighting him head-on.

Her rationality told her that it was not worth going down with scum like him.

After all, Veikko was still waiting for her.

He had had a tough life. Now that he had finally seen her as his savior, she could not die so easily.

If she were to die, his world would no longer have light. How is he going to live the rest of his life?

Hence, for the sake of Veikko, she must cherish her own life and fight the monstrous man to the end.

“I-I understand. I'll cooperate with you, but you have to promise to not torture me in such a cruel way. I can't bear it.”

Shaun burst into a fit of laughter as if he had gone mad.

This is my chance!

Caridee stared intently at his eyes, making a move to wrap her arms around his neck.

While he was distracted, she suddenly snapped her fingers beside his ear.

In the next moment, Shaun's pupils began to dilate.

Caridee heaved a sigh of relief, thankful that she had learned hypnosis and dream-tailoring skill from Bailey.

She had no problem protecting herself.

Next, she spent about ten minutes instilling all the methods Shaun had just told her into his mind.

“Remember, you've already done all those things to me. I've been completely taken advantage of by you.”

After leaving these things in his subconscious mind, she also ingrained some realistic images in his mind using dream-tailoring skill.

Although it was humiliating, it was still better than him actually taking action.

After everything was done, she pinched her body, leaving countless marks to create the illusion of being mistreated by him.

In the end, she even bit through her own finger, dripping some blood onto his hand.

All the fuss around took half an hour.

She dispelled the hypnosis and plopped down languidly on the sofa.

Shaun, who had fallen askew, slowly came to his senses. He saw Caridee huddled in a corner under a blanket and staring at him with a pale face, slightly taken aback.

After a moment of silence, he suddenly snapped back to reality.

“I was so happy just now that my blood pressure shot up and I passed out. Sweetheart, are you okay?”

Caridee turned her face slightly and said in a strained voice, “I'm really tired. Can I take a break?”

Shaun lowered his head slightly, sneering when he noticed the traces of blood on his fingers.

“That b*stard never loved you, but it seems I'm the one who benefited from it.”

After speaking, he placed his hand near her nose. “Does it smell good? This is yours, after all—”

Before he could finish speaking, Caridee pleaded almost desperately, “If you keep provoking me like this, I'll go mad. If I were to go mad, it wouldn't be of any benefit to you, would it? You didn't bring me back just to do this once, right?”

“Of course not.” Shaun withdrew his hand and slowly stood up. “Since you've been so obedient, I'll let you off the hook for now. Rest well. I'll come to see you again tomorrow. I hope you can give me a different surprise by then.”

After saying that, he left the room with a hearty laugh.

Caridee watched his retreating figure, tears swirling in her eyes.

However, she managed to hold back her tears when she remembered she was not actually hurt.

Bailey once said tears were the most useless thing.

Crying only worked when they were in their partner's presence.

Instead of spending so much time being upset, it was better to think about how to deal with the upcoming challenges.

She would not let Shaun ruin her.

Caridee could not imagine how Veikko would handle the situation if she was actually taken advantage of by Shaun.

She had to live on for the person she liked.

Having gotten hypnotized, Shaun felt incredibly refreshed after waking up.

The only reason he was in such a great mood was that he thought he had gotten what he wished for.

As soon as he stepped out of the room, his personal bodyguard came forward to greet him.

He waved his blood-stained fingers in front of the bodyguard.

“See? Even if I'm impotent, I can still make her mine. That b*stard can only stand by and watch helplessly.”

The bodyguard hastily agreed, “Did you take some photos? We can send them to that b*stard to make him—”

With a loud smack, Shaun slapped the bodyguard on the back of his head.

“You fool. Are you trying to send them photos as a reminder because they haven't noticed Caridee has been replaced? I'm expecting the imposter to get close to that b*stard and lead him into a trap before personally finishing him off. “If we do as you say, my plan will go down the drain. You blockhead. Did you leave your brain at home today?”

The bodyguard slapped himself hard on both cheeks. “I messed up. Please don't hold it against me, Mr. Carter. What should we do next? Do you want to kill that little b*stard with your own hands? I think it's best if you avoid taking risks, sir. Let that imposter handle it.”

Shaun slowly clenched his fist, his eyes flashing with chilling murderous intent.

“He destroyed me. It's only fair if he dies by my hand. Make sure you keep an eye on the communicator connected to that imposter. The moment she initiates contact, report to me immediately.”

Before he could finish speaking, Caridee pleaded almost desperately, “If you keep provoking me like this, I'll go mad. If I were to go mad, it wouldn't be of any benefit to you, would it? You didn't bring me back just to do this once, right?”

“Yes.”

In the guest room of the Luther residence at the base, Catherine held a bottle of fragrance powder close to her daughter's nose, continuously wafting the scent toward the latter with her hand.

Simon was pacing anxiously on the side. “Would you please tell me what's going on with the child? Does she have any hidden health issues?”

Catherine gave him a cold glance, then continued with her work.

“Bailey knows. Go ask her. You might not necessarily believe what I say.”

Simon glared at her. “Why would I not believe what you say?”

“Do you remember me telling you Luna wasn't feeling well and invited you to visit her at my place two months ago? What was your response? You called me malicious and accused me of being so unreasonable as to curse my own daughter. So, even if I explained it to you today, you'll probably react with the same attitude. Why should I bring humiliation upon myself?”

Simon was stumped.

Two months ago, Catherine suddenly showed up with a kid and even bumped into Aisley. No one would have been able to accept the situation.

To make matters worse, she brought up the child's illness, making him think she was like those pestering women in television dramas who used the child as an excuse.

In such circumstances, his words inevitably became somewhat excessive.

Is she still holding a grudge to this day?

“Ms. Rogers, I apologize for my past remarks. Can we set aside our differences for now and talk about the child?”

Gracefully, Catherine straightened herself and casted a sidelong glance at him. “Parasitic fragrance.”

What?

Simon was slightly taken aback.

“P-Parasitic fragrance?”

“Ask your sister-in-law.”

D*mn it. I can't continue with this conversation.

At that moment, Bailey's voice came from outside. “Simon, come out. Let me explain it to you.”

Simon turned around and walked away.

He feared that he might lose control and strangle the woman beside the bed.

It was she who barged into his room and slept with him.

He had not settled the score with her yet.

What makes you think you're superior? She's just a boring woman. I'd rather die... No. I still have to marry her. It's my fault for making her give birth to a daughter.

After stepping out of the room, he furrowed his brows and asked, “Bailey, what's really going on with Luna?”
