Chapter 581

As there were aware that she had gone through a brutal collision, their hearts were in their throats, andthey had all prepared for the worst.

Seeing Bailey shaking her head now, they subconsciously assumed that their worst fears had cometrue and that Felicity had not been saved.

Glen staggered back two steps with tears streaming down his face.

Yoel quickly grabbed him and said, tearing up, “Dad, I'm sorry for the loss... Felicity is...”

“She's not dead,” Bailey said helplessly. “I shook my head because her situation is very pessimistic, notbecause she didn't survive.”

Glen pushed his son aside and stood up straight, cursing angrily, “You d*mn brat, can't you talkproperly? You scared the hell out of me.”

Bailey couldn't help but laugh. “I didn't say anything, okay? I just shook my head and sighed. Doesshaking my head mean that she didn't survive? You guys are just too nervous.”

Glen choked up, snorted twice, and fell silent.

Gerald grabbed Bailey's arm and asked urgently, “Bay, what's the situation with your mother-in-law?Don't beat around the bush and tell us quickly.”

Bailey rubbed her forehead and said slowly, “A piece of glass plunged into her head and got stuck inthe cranial part of the central nervous system. Although I removed the glass through surgery, damaging

the brain nerves is a very serious matter. I'm not sure if she will wake up or not. If she doesn't, there isan eighty percent chance she will become a vegetable.”

A vegetable...

These words were like a heavy hammer slamming hard on their hearts.

Gerald clenched his teeth and asked, “Is being a vegetable the worst case scenario? Is there anythingworse? If there is, tell us now. Don't hide it just because you're worried about our feelings.”

Bailey shook her head. “I'm sure she's going to make it, but whether she can wake up or not is reallybeyond my control. It all depends on her willpower.”

“Okay, thank you for your hard work.”

Bailey was silent for a moment, then slowly stepped back two steps and bowed to the Luther family andthe Chivers family.

Glen became angry on the spot and rebuked her, “What are you doing?”

Bailey bowed slightly and said hoarsely, “I'm sorry. She could have escaped, but at a critical moment,she left the chance for survival to me. If it weren't for me dragging her down, she wouldn't be sufferinglike this today.”

Gerald was also somewhat dissatisfied and looked at Bailey with narrowed eyes. He said in a deepvoice, “Bay, what you said is really hurtful. On your way to the Revelle family, Fliss sent me a message

saying that you called her 'mom' and made her very happy. In times of crisis, she protected you, whichis the same as protecting her own son. Do you understand?”

Bailey turned her head slightly, and tears that had been brimming in her eyes finally poured out.

Edmund stepped forward and patted her shoulder to comfort her. “Aunt Felicity had a car accident, andyou saved her. But if you have a car accident, who will save you? If you die, many people will die withyou.”

His words miraculously comforted Bailey. “You're right. I can't let anything happen to me. I still have alot of things to do, such as replaceing the person who did this and making the person pay for what he'sdone.”

...

In a private mansion, there was a loud 'slap.'

Sofie slapped Zoey hard across the face.

“You id*ot, who gave you permission to act on your own? Do you realize that you almost ruinedeverything?”

Zoey hung her head, clutching her burning cheek with one hand as a cold gleam flashed in her eyes.

This old wretch! When I take over, she would be the first one I would torture. I'll make her wish fordeath.

“I just thought the opportunity was hard to come by, and besides, I used Scarlett to arrange the caraccident. It wouldn't be traced back to me. Why are you so nervous?”

“You idiot,” Sofie cursed again. “If something happens to Bailey at this critical moment, do you thinkArtemis can stay at Tarragon headquarters? If he leaves, how can Yvette give him the memory lossdrug?”

Zoey realized Sofie was right, and she almost messed things up.

Earlier, when she heard that it was Felicity and not Bailey who was seriously injured, she was reallydisappointed.

Now she realized she should be grateful that Bailey was fine. Otherwise, once Artemis left Tarragonheadquarters, Yvette's plan would be ruined.

“Yes, I'm sorry, Mom. I really didn't expect things to get so serious. Fortunately, it wasn't Bailey whowas hurt, and Artemis shouldn't be coming back so quickly.”

Thinking of her purpose for coming here, Zoey quickly said, “Scarlett called me and said that thedrivers who caused the accident were all captured by someone mysterious and powerful. Therefore,she might be exposed. That b*tch threatened me, saying if I don't help her deal with this, she'll exposeme.”

Sofie took a deep breath and calmed herself down. Then, she coldly said, “The Saviors captured them.They should be under Bailey's order. There were seven people in total. I sent our top assassin to kill sixof them, but one is still missing.”

Zoey initially felt relieved, but hearing that one was still unaccounted for made her heart race again.

“Mom, we can't leave any of them alive. All of them have to die.”

Sofie gave her a cold stare. “Do you think I don't want to kill him and eliminate all potential troubles?But the person is now with the Saviors. Do you really think I have the power to kill someone who's withthe Saviors?”

“Then, what should we do?”

“What should we do?” Sofie glared at her angrily. “What else can we do? We have to sacrifice the spieswe've planted in the Saviors for years and let them take care of the last person. The efforts we've put infor years have been ruined in one day because of you. If you dare to act by yourself again, don't blameme for not showing any mercy as your mother.”

Zoey was stunned.

...

On a balcony of the hospital, Bailey was answering the phone.

In the frigid wind, she looked slightly cold.

“Ambushed? Six out of seven dead? Looks like the mastermind behind this is quite powerful. I bet theywill eliminate the last person as well. Good, I'll wait for her to make a move. Once she does, I canfollow the trail and replace out who is behind this.”

“How should we deal with this, Ms. Jefferson? Shall we increase security?”

“Handle the guy like any other prisoner. Report immediately whenever there is anything unusual.”

“Yes.”

After ending the call, a jacket was suddenly draped over her shoulders before she could put her phoneaway.

She instinctively turned around to see Edmund's gentle face.

“It's windy here on the balcony. You've just had a miscarriage. Don't catch a cold.”

Bailey smiled lightly, avoiding his dark and deep eyes that were full of suppressed emotions.

“Edmund, Lindsey Carter is quite a decent girl.”

The air around Edmund suddenly froze.

He stood with his hands behind his back, gazing at the winter scenery in the distance. Then, heresponded, “Bailey, do you think someone like me would compromise in matters of the heart?”
