Super Mommy and Her Triplets

Chapter 148

Great, just great! You're the lord and master here, okay?

As though resigned to her fate, Bailey snagged a spoon from the table. Taking a spoonful of warm water, she held it to his mouth.

“Open up. Otherwise, I'm going to pinch your nose and force it down your throat.”

Artemis' thin lips turned up, curving into a faint smile.

He loved seeing her all aggrieved because she had to relent for his sake. It gave him a sense of accomplishment that had him feeling better than if he had signed a multi-billion contract.

The urge to rip him into pieces seized Bailey.

What a cunning fox! How shameless!

After feeding him a few spoonfuls of warm water, she eyed him coldly and growled, “For the sake of forcing me to pick up the scalpel again to perform a craniotomy on your grandfather, you even went as far as setting me up and risking your life. You're really Old Mr. Chivers' good grandson. Your filial piety is touching beyond words, Artemis!”

Artemis lifted his eyes to her, the expression on his face grim. “You think I only set you up because of my grandfather?” he asked in a hiss.

At that, Bailey was momentarily startled.

She didn't want to give so much thought to certain things, such as his feelings for her.

Lowering her head a fraction, she dodged his dark and unfathomable gaze. Then, she countered placidly, “What other reason could there be if not for your grandfather's sake when you went as far as risking your own life? Artemis, you're a businessman, so benefits are most important to you. Meanwhile, the greatest advantage of you doing this is me picking up the scalpel again to save your grandfather's life.”

In response, Artemis snorted coldly. “You overestimated my sensibility and filial piety. If it were only for my grandfather's sake, I wouldn't have risked my life. Do you not have a heart, Bailey? Do you really have no idea about my feelings for you—”

All of a sudden, he couldn't catch his breath. Clutching his chest, he started coughing violently, perhaps because he was overly emotional.

Upon seeing that, Bailey hastily leaned over and patted him on the back. “Okay, okay, I'll stop arguing with you. Calm down so that you don't pull on your wound.”
