Chapter 55

“I heard from Zayron that you brought Bay to Justin's infirmary to remove the toxin. Thank you, Artemis. I'll remember your kindness and repay you when I have the opportunity in the future.”

Artemis arched his brow and said with a half smile, “Who told you I brought her to Justin's infirmary? She took a nap at my private mansion.”

“Lecher.”

“Scoundrel.”

“Shameless.”

Three childish voices sounded in succession as they criticized Artemis.

Artemis' face turned grim.

They do look like a real family at first glance. D*mn their familial warmth and bonding. Even my own son is siding with others. What the hell?

Edmund chuckled and replied gently, “As I expected. After all, the journey from the Jefferson residence to Justin's infirmary requires an hour, but to travel from the Jefferson residence to your private mansion takes only twenty minutes. You're a brilliant man, Artemis, so it is nothing out of the ordinary for you to choose the second option.”

Artemis narrowed his eyes slightly and sneered, “Aren't you too generous? Aren't you worried that I've touched her?”

Edmund shook his head, wearing a smile. “Artemis, I've known Bay for seven years. I know her personality very well. If you really took advantage of her, I reckon you two would be at the hospital now instead of appearing here together in such a peaceful manner.”

An awkward silence filled the air afterward.

“Max, your daddy misses you. He's here to visit you. Why don't you follow him back today and come again tomorrow?”

Bailey could not help but attempt to lighten the mood as the atmosphere had turned heavy with tension.

Unfortunately, Maxton did not cooperate with her.
