Super Mommy and Her Triplets

Chapter 140

Bailey shook her head and said with a smile, “Had it not been for your grandpa, my mom and granny would've frozen to death on the streets back then. I wouldn't even exist. Edmund, I understand that I need to repay your grandpa for saving them, so will you give me a week to overcome my trauma?”

“Is Cadence really unable to perform this surgery?” Edmund asked after a brief pause.

“That's right. I know full well just how capable he is. A complicated surgery like this is simply too much for him,” Bailey replied without any hesitation.

“All right, I trust your judgment. I know you're the only one who won't try to harm my grandpa. A week it is, then. I'll do my best to stall the surgery, but I need you to promise me you won't force yourself too much. It'd be great if you could overcome your trauma, but it'll also be fine if you can't. Whatever the outcome may be, I shall accept it as Grandpa's fate.”

Bailey forced a smile at him in response. “I know. Don't worry. If all else fails, I'll have a hypnotist temporarily erase my memories of the incident from three years ago.”

Edmund glared at her sternly as he shouted, “No way! Hypnosis is incredibly damaging to the brain, so don't even think about doing that! I'll call off the surgery if you dare attempt such a crazy stunt, you hear?”

Bailey was so taken aback by his sudden outburst that she froze for a few seconds. Whoa... I didn't think a gentle and soft-spoken guy like Edmund was capable of being so aggressive...

“It's just a suggestion... I wasn't actually planning on going through with it. What are you getting so worked up for?”

“Bailey...” Edmund muttered her name through clenched teeth.

Bailey had no choice but to give in. “All right, all right! I won't even think about it anymore, okay?”

“Do you need me to provide you with a laboratory?” Edmund asked.

Bailey shook her head. “That won't be necessary. Vero's laboratory is pretty big and well-equipped. It'd take too much time for you to import all those equipment.”

Just like that, Bailey spent the next six days trying to overcome her fear of the operating table in Veronique's laboratory.
