Chapter 378
In the living room of a five-star hotel suite, Tamara and Scarlett glared at Raiden with fury etchedacross their faces.
“What are you talking about, Raiden? Why should I donate my bone marrow to that illegitimate child?You were against that idea previously, so why have you suddenly changed your tune?”
After she said that, something seemed to occur to her, and everything clicked. “It's Bailey, am I right?She persuaded you into getting my bone marrow. Raiden, are you seriously going to sacrifice yoursister because of that depraved woman?”
Tamara added, “There's no chance I'll agree to let Lettie donate her bone marrow. You can banish thatthought. Also, you need to stay away from that woman. She has Artemis protecting her, and you don'thave to concern yourself with that. With the way you hang around her so eagerly, are you trying toannounce to the whole world that no other women are interested in the Fletcher family's heir?”
Raiden frowned.
I knew this would happen. Nonetheless, I wanted to give it a shot. Since I've already tried and theoutcome isn't satisfactory, I can only resolve this with a high hand.
“All right, then. Seeing that neither of you is agreeable to it, I won't force it. Just pretend I never saidanything.”
With that, he rose to his feet and left the suite.
The mother-daughter pair glanced at each other. Scarlett asked, “What should we do next, Mom?”
For a moment, Tamara fell silent. Then, she said reassuringly, “We'll wait for news from Olivia. She'llgive us a satisfactory reply.”
After pondering for a while, Scarlett piped up, “Mom, Bailey has influenced Raiden's mind. That's not agood sign. I'm worried he'll insist she's the only one he wants to be with and end up getting hurt. He'syour only son. You wouldn't want to see him ruined by that woman's hands.”
“I'll think of a way to make him abandon that notion,” Tamara uttered through clenched teeth.
Meanwhile, Bailey was performing a checkup on Veronique at the medical base.
Veronique grabbed Bailey's wrist and asked desperately, “Bay, do you have any way of making myuterus recover quickly? Zephyr doesn't have much time left. I need to produce another test-tube babyas soon as possible.”
“Even someone who suffered a normal miscarriage would have to recuperate for a month, let alone youwho just underwent in vitro fertilization. Three months. There must be no stimulus to the uterus forthree months. Otherwise, I swear on my life that I'll remove it,” Bailey responded furiously whileshooting her a stern look.
“Three months...” Veronique mumbled. Upon thinking of Zephyr's condition, she could not help but cryas she muttered, “Three months is too long. Zephyr can't wait. Bay, I know you must have a way. I'mbegging you. Please help me, okay?”
Bailey sat on the edge of the bed and held Veronique's wrist. Then, she said slowly and clearly, “Listen
carefully. I've already found a way to cure Zephyr, so you can stop thinking about producing a test-tubebaby anymore.”
However, Veronique did not believe her. “You're only saying that to make me feel better.”
Gazing at Veronique, Bailey said solemnly, “No, I'm not. I won't let anything happen to Zephyr, and if allelse fails, I'll kidnap Scarlett. One vial of anesthetic will be enough to knock her out. After that, I'll takesome bone marrow from her body.”
Veronique stared at her wordlessly.
“I know what I'm doing, Vero. Are you really that worried about how I handle things? All you need to dois rest and focus on recovering. Once I've settled the matter regarding the bone marrow, I'll operate onyou to remove your uterus,” Bailey said as she stretched out a hand to pat Veronique's head.
Veronique was about to say something when Artemis and Justin walked in.
With just one glance at Artemis' expression, Bailey immediately knew something was amiss. Shequickly went over and asked, “What happened?”
Artemis pulled her out of the ward without saying anything.
“What's wrong? Did something happen?”
He sighed and explained slowly, “Micah stood in the rain the whole of last night and fell unconsciousearly this morning. After his fever subsided, he called me and said he had to see you. If you don't meetwith him, he'll go straight to Shannon.”
He was quiet for several seconds before continuing, “Shannon might've said something to him. He'sbehaving very strangely. If he acts rashly and goes looking for Shannon, I'm worried it'll cause yourfriend pain.”
Seething with rage, Bailey gnashed her teeth. She hissed through gritted teeth, “Where is he now?”
“I'll take you to him.”
After leaving the medical base, Artemis and Bailey drove to Lunar Bar.
When Bailey pushed open the door to the private room on the top floor, she was greeted by anoverwhelming smell of alcohol.
A myriad of thoughts raced through her mind as she stared at empty bottles littering the floor.
Artemis said Shannon told Micah something, and that caused Micah to spiral out of control. Micahknows about Shannon's missing arm, and even that didn't affect him much. So, all that's left is...
At that thought, Bailey no longer hesitated. She strode over to the couch, then reached out andgrabbed Micah by his collar. She sneered, “What's the use of getting drunk? Even if you die a thousanddeaths, you wouldn't be able to atone for what you did.”
Micah cracked open his eyes to look at her.
Despite having had a lot to drink, he did not look inebriated. “What happened back then?” he askedhoarsely.
Bailey was stunned.
She narrowed her eyes as she met his gaze.
Moments later, Micah's gaze gradually became unfocused.
She had hypnotized him.
“Were you the one who orchestrated the car accident that happened four years ago?”
He shook his head in response.
“Did you send someone to hunt down and kill Shannon and her son?”
Micah shook his head again.
Upon seeing that, Bailey sighed.
I believe him because no one can break away from my hypnosis. It looks like there are still manyunknown truths hidden behind that accident. That incident is far from how simple it appears.
She snapped her fingers, and Micah gradually returned to his senses.
Furrowing his brows, he asked frostily, “What did you just do to me?”
Bailey shrugged her shoulders. “What's wrong? Did you think I would kill you with your sworn brother
here?”
“If you really wanted to kill me, that guy behind you would probably hand you a dagger without asecond thought,” he retorted with a cold snort.
Oh?
She turned to gaze at Artemis with a look that asked whether that was true, and he actually noddedshamelessly.
Ha ha. So that's what sworn brothers are for.
“The two of you must have a lot to talk about. I'll step outside, then.”
Bailey reached out to stop him and shook her head. “You don't have to leave. It's nothing confidential.”
With that, she turned toward Micah on the couch. “Sit up. Let's have a good chat.”
Will it be less painful for Shannon if we resolve this horrible misunderstanding? Although there's noway to bring Eugene back to life, it'd probably make her feel a little better to know that the man sheloved didn't cause her son's death. She has had it tough, and if uncovering the truth behind theaccident will ease her pain, then there couldn't be anything better.
After Micah sat up straight, his first question was, “Shannon had a child. Was the child mine?”
Bailey nodded. She took her phone from her pocket, logged into a private database, and retrieved aphoto. Then, she handed the phone to him.
In the photo, an adorable boy around two years old was beaming innocently.
“His name was Eugene.”
