Chapter 149

“Serves you right!” Bailey scoffed.

Despite saying that, she sprang up from the bed posthaste. When her gaze alighted on the door, she froze imperceptibly.

“W-When did you arrive, E-Edmund?”

Upon hearing that, Artemis instinctively turned and cast his gaze over. Right away, he spotted Edmund standing at the door with a fruit basket in hand.

It was the first time he had ever seen that cousin of his wearing such a cold and indifferent expression.

As far as he remembered, Edmund had always been gentle and courteous. No matter how furious he was, he wouldn't show it on his face. However, at that moment, he was an entirely different person.

“You're here, Edmund! Why are you standing by the door? Come in and have a seat.”

Snapping out of her shock, Bailey strode over to Edmund. She opened her mouth, but she didn't know what to say.

I must look a mess right now with my lips ravaged by that scoundrel, Artemis! Consequently, I definitely appear wretched in his eyes. Otherwise, he wouldn't be wearing such a dark look. In fact, this is the first time I've ever seen him with such a frosty and apathetic expression.

“Edmund, I—”

Before she could finish speaking, Edmund suddenly put the indifference on his face away. Reverting to his usual gentle and casual demeanor, he remarked smilingly, “I heard from Dwayne that you were gravely injured, the knife piercing through almost half of your back, Artemis. I was restless at home, so I came over to pay you a visit.”

After saying that, he circled around her and headed to the side of the bed.

When he saw the blood-stained bandage on Artemis' back, he couldn't help arching a brow and commenting, “Your injury is indeed pretty serious. No wonder Bay put up with you. A doctor regards her patients the same, no matter their gender. I understand that.”

At that, Bailey breathed a sigh of relief. In truth, she could sense the hostility emanating from the man.

However, he didn't want to embarrass her. Thus, he downplayed things without mentioning a word about everything that transpired a second ago.
