Super Mommy and Her Triplets

Chapter 134

An hour earlier, Artemis had received word that Bailey left the Chivers residence in a hurry.

He promptly investigated Veronique's whereabouts and learned that she had gone to a laboratory under her name.

A possibility surfaced in his mind. Bailey must have rushed out of the Chivers residence to meet Veronique.

Hence, he quickly ordered someone to find the address of Veronique's laboratory and rushed over as fast as he could.

Based on the surveillance camera footage of the building, he confirmed that Bailey had indeed visited Veronique's laboratory.

Artemis asked Veronique again, “What happened to her? Why is she so averse to the operating table?”

Massaging her temples, Veronique replied, “That's her secret to tell, and I won't betray her by revealing it to you. You saw yourself, Mr. Luther. Anonymous can no longer hold a scalpel in her hand. So please, I implore you not to force her to operate again. I fear she'd go mad. The incident years really traumatized her.”

Though he pursed his lips in frustration, Artemis kept mum.

Lowering his gaze, he realized Bailey had fallen asleep in his arms. He noticed teardrops on her eyelashes, a rare show of weakness on her part.

Is she still that imposing, tough woman I know?

His initial shock after learning she and Anonymous were one and the same had worn off quickly enough.

It was almost as though he had expected it.

A woman as mysterious as Bailey was the only possible candidate for the insanely talented doctor, Anonymous.

With that in mind, Artemis declared, “It's fine. I'll ask her myself when she wakes up. I promise I won't force her if she truly does not wish to operate again.”

Then, he stood up with Bailey in his arms and strode toward the door.

Veronique hastily stopped him. “You must be a busy man, Mr. Luther; I'm sure you don't have time to tend to an unconscious woman. Why don't you leave her with me? I have a bedroom here, where she can rest undisturbed. I examined her earlier. She only fainted because she was so agitated she forgot to catch her breath. She'll be fine after a quick rest. There's no need to trouble you at all, Mr. Luther.”

He must be hallucinating if he thinks I'll hand Bay over to a sly fox. He's going to eat her alive!

Freezing in his tracks, Artemis shot her a sidelong glance. His gaze then landed on Bailey's pale face.

This is the perfect moment for me to play my trump card.

“You have a nephew named Zephyr, am I right? I investigated him on my way here. He's a real handsome kid. He looks kind of familiar, though, almost like...”
