Chapter 172

Mentally challenged? Artemis stopped and stared at Bailey with confusion. Is Maxton's condition that serious? So much so that he's going to become mentally challenged?

When Felicity saw her son had arrived, she flung Bailey's arm away and threw herself into her son's embrace, crying at the top of her lungs, “I let her treat my precious grandson, but now she's telling me he's going to become mentally challenged! There's no justice in this world!”

His eyebrows became intensely furrowed as he pushed his mother into Simon's embrace. “What happened?” he asked Bailey. “How did Max become mentally challenged? He didn't show any signs of that before, so why did this suddenly happen?”

The look in Bailey's eyes was icy cold. Even though she was verbally abused by Felicity, she could still suppress the rage in her heart completely.

When she heard his questioning, she could not help but sneer, “I was being stupid last night. I shouldn't have come forward and volunteered to jump into this mess. Perhaps you should hire another expert, Mr. Luther. I can't afford to bear this sin.”

Her words stunned Artemis, and only then did he realize he had spoken inappropriately.

Glancing at the still-enraged Felicity, he dragged Bailey to the side and apologized, “I'm sorry. I was getting a little too emotional earlier. I have no intention of blaming you, so don't get angry, okay? No matter what happens, I'm grateful that you were willing to help save my family members. Without you, they would've been in a far worse condition.”

Shaking her head, Bailey suppressed the anger caused by Felicity's provocation and sighed. “I'm just saying that's the worst-case scenario. As for what'll actually happen, we need to wait until he wakes up first. I analyzed the genes in his brain and found out that he was given a drug that disturbs a person's nervous system. That is why I said there's a chance he may become mentally challenged.”

“So you're saying you're not sure what'll happen?”

The woman shook her head. “It doesn't matter what I speculate, because unless he wakes up, I won't have the data required to provide a proper diagnosis. We'll see how he does when he wakes up. Hopefully, my conclusion will be wrong.”

“Don't stress yourself out too much.” Artemis held her weak shoulders and stared at her warmly, smiling. “It'll all depend on him whether he'll pull through.”

“Mhm.” She then changed the subject. “I've examined his body thoroughly, and I didn't find out what drug caused his nervous system to deteriorate. There were no signs of drug injection when I tested his blood, either.”
