Suddenly There Are Three (Bailey and Artemis)

Chapter 129

Although Felicity expected such an outcome, she was still very agitated. She held onto Veronique's

arm and looked at her pleadingly.

“Vero, I beg of you. Please tell me the whereabouts of Anonymous.”

Veronique pursed her lips. Both the Chivers and the Revelle families were close friends. She certainly

did not wish to see Glen succumb to his illness.

She felt sorry for them. Then again, who would feel sorry for Bay's sufferings?

“Mrs. Chivers, I'm very sorry. The last time I had any contact with Anonymous was three years ago

when she announced that she would be retiring from the medical field and never hold a scalpel again.

After that, I never met her again, nor do I know her whereabouts.”

Felicity refused to believe her and grabbed her wrist. “Ms. Revelle, the gods are watching, so you'd

better not lie. Otherwise, you will be punished. Back then, you were able to invite her to Eskaria to

perform a craniotomy on the king. That proves that the two of you are very close friends. How can you

lose contact all of a sudden? Don't try to patronize me.”

When Veronique heard what she said, her face darkened. “I really have no idea where Anonymous is.

There is still some time for Old Mr. Chivers. Please find someone else to cure him.”

With that, she picked up her handbag and prepared to leave.

Artemis, who had been silent all the while, spoke up all of a sudden. “Earlier on, Rhonda phoned and

told me that she had found a renowned neurosurgeon who hails from Uramuzor. His name is Cadence

White, and he is the best student from Uramuzor. I'm prepared to bring him to Hallsbay. If it isn't

convenient for Ms. Revelle to disclose any information regarding Anonymous, I will have no choice but

to engage Cadence.”

When Veronique heard Cadence's name, she stared at Artemis in disbelief. With a quavering voice,

she said, “Cadence's style has always been on the extreme side. How can you risk the life of Old Mr.

Chivers?”

Artemis stared at her with mockery and ridicule. “Then, what should I do? Ms. Revelle, you can't

operate on my granddad and refuse to reveal the whereabouts of Anonymous. Do you expect me to

watch my granddad die?”

That stumped Veronique.

That's right. I have no right to stop the Luther family from engaging members of the Uramuzor to

operate on Glen.

“My apologies. I crossed the line.”

Artemis dismissed her with a wave of his hand. “Thank you for your help for the last few days, Ms.

Revelle. Please go back and take a good rest. If you are in need of anything in the future, feel free to

give me a call. I will do everything I can if it's within my means.”

Although Felicity expected such on outcome, she wos still very ogitoted. She held onto Veronique's

orm ond looked ot her pleodingly.

“Vero, I beg of you. Pleose tell me the whereobouts of Anonymous.”

Veronique pursed her lips. Both the Chivers ond the Revelle fomilies were close friends. She certoinly

did not wish to see Glen succumb to his illness.

She felt sorry for them. Then ogoin, who would feel sorry for Boy's sufferings?

“Mrs. Chivers, I'm very sorry. The lost time I hod ony contoct with Anonymous wos three yeors ogo

when she onnounced thot she would be retiring from the medicol field ond never hold o scolpel ogoin.

After thot, I never met her ogoin, nor do I know her whereobouts.”

Felicity refused to believe her ond grobbed her wrist. “Ms. Revelle, the gods ore wotching, so you'd

better not lie. Otherwise, you will be punished. Bock then, you were oble to invite her to Eskorio to This material belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

perform o croniotomy on the king. Thot proves thot the two of you ore very close friends. How con you

lose contoct oll of o sudden? Don't try to potronize me.”

When Veronique heord whot she soid, her foce dorkened. “I reolly hove no ideo where Anonymous is.

There is still some time for Old Mr. Chivers. Pleose find someone else to cure him.”

With thot, she picked up her hondbog ond prepored to leove.

Artemis, who hod been silent oll the while, spoke up oll of o sudden. “Eorlier on, Rhondo phoned ond

told me thot she hod found o renowned neurosurgeon who hoils from Uromuzor. His nome is Codence

White, ond he is the best student from Uromuzor. I'm prepored to bring him to Hollsboy. If it isn't

convenient for Ms. Revelle to disclose ony informotion regording Anonymous, I will hove no choice but

to engoge Codence.”

When Veronique heord Codence's nome, she stored ot Artemis in disbelief. With o quovering voice,

she soid, “Codence's style hos olwoys been on the extreme side. How con you risk the life of Old Mr.

Chivers?”

Artemis stored ot her with mockery ond ridicule. “Then, whot should I do? Ms. Revelle, you con't

operote on my gronddod ond refuse to reveol the whereobouts of Anonymous. Do you expect me to

wotch my gronddod die?”

Thot stumped Veronique.

Thot's right. I hove no right to stop the Luther fomily from engoging members of the Uromuzor to

operote on Glen.

“My opologies. I crossed the line.”

Artemis dismissed her with o wove of his hond. “Thonk you for your help for the lost few doys, Ms.

Revelle. Pleose go bock ond toke o good rest. If you ore in need of onything in the future, feel free to

give me o coll. I will do everything I con if it's within my meons.”

Veronique was about to open her mouth when she changed her mind.

Since I can't reveal the whereabouts of Anonymous, what's the point of saying anything else?

“Sure. I'll make a move then.”

With that, she strode toward the door.

“Vero, please don't go,” begged Felicity as she reached out to Veronique. Seeing that she was leaving,

Felicity wanted to chase after her.

When Artemis saw his mother's reaction, he grabbed her arm and whispered, “If you trust me, let me

handle this matter. I will make sure she will give me the location of Anonymous.”

Felicity was filled with frustration. She turned to look at him and asked, “Who is this person from

Uramuzor that she was talking about just now? Can he really operate on your granddad?”

Artemis narrowed his eyes and pondered on it before responding, “His name is Cadence, and he is

indeed capable. I heard he had performed craniotomy surgery for several people, and all of them

survived. But, it's a high-risk operation because his style differs from others. That's why people claim

that he is an extremist.”

“Is it true that Ronni is the one who recommended him?” asked Felicity.

“Yes, it's true. Two days ago, she went abroad and visited Cadence personally. She has asked him to

make a trip to Hallsbay.”

Felicity's expression softened when she heard that. “That's very kind of Ronni. Both Ronniand Bailey

have borne children for both you and your brother. Yet, Ronni is the one who makes an effort. As for

Bailey? She's more interested in vying for power at Luther Group. It's a vast difference between the two

of them. Once Ronni returns, tell her to move back to the Luther residence.”

Artemis frowned and said, “Are you actually willing to let Cadence operate on Granddad?”

“What else can we do? We can't depend on Anonymous. By the looks of it, she isn't fit to be a doctor.

She's just fishing for fame with no real talent. I don't believe the sick will die without her.”

Artemis kept quiet all the while. Now that Felicity was feeling angry after being rejected by Veronique,

one wrong word from him might bring about an argument.

Felicity pried his hand off her and strode toward the door. “I'm going to give Ronni a call and tell her to

bring Cadence back to Hallsbay as soon as possible. Don't ever mention this Anonymous in front of me

again. Such a disgusting person.”

Artemis was rendered speechless.

After Veronique left the Luther residence, she went directly to the café opposite Luther Group.

When she got there, Bailey was already waiting for her.

“Sorry to keep you waiting.”

Bailey smiled and poured her a cup of coffee. “It's normal to be stuck in traffic jams now that it's the

after-work peak hours. So, how did it go? Did the Luther family make things difficult for you?”

Veronique let out a sigh and said, “Your sister, Rhonda, has gone and asked Cadence from Uramuzor

to attend to Old Mr. Chivers. As you know, Cadence is a crazy man. If he operates on Old Mr. Chivers, I

doubt the old man will make it.”

Cadence...

Bailey narrowed her eyes when she heard that name.

She had long heard about his reputation.

“Ha! This is interesting. Looks like Artemis must have found out about my grudge against Cadence. He

thinks that by engaging Cadence, he will be able to lure me out so that I will compete against

Cadence.”

Veronique stared at her in puzzlement. “You have grudges against Cadence?”

“It happened a long time ago. There's no point in mentioning it. But, I think Mr. Luther will be

disappointed this time around. There is no way he is going to get Anonymous to show herself because

Anonymous will never operate on anyone again.”

Veronique raised her hands and laughed. “Whatever. I consider this issue over. In two days' time, I

intend to go back to Archulea. I don't feel at ease knowing that Zephyr is on his own in another

country.”

After a moment of silence, Bailey asked tentatively, “Do you really have no intention to contact his

biological father? Vero, I hacked into your computer and saw the latest report of Zephyr. His illness has

already reached the intermediate stage. If you drag this on for a few more months, it will be too late for

you to look for his father by then.”

Veronique leaned on the table and mumbled, “I want to look for him too. But that will take away the last

ounce of my dignity. I'm afraid that he won't accept Zephyr and will look at my son with disdain. I-I don't

have the courage to face everything. Once the truth is out, there will be serious repercussions.”

Bailey sighed and said, “I'm so sorry to upset you. I take back my words. You should decide for

yourself.”

In the study of the Luther residence, Artemis was on the phone and standing by the window.

An hour ago, he had ordered Ken to follow Veronique.

“Mr. Luther, Ms. Revelle has gone to Luther Group to meet Ms. Bailey.”

Artemis smiled to himself.

I knew it!
