Chapter 232

Scarlett. I can't believe it's her. Her engagement with Justin has brought great pain to Veronique.

Seven years back, Scarlett, the heiress of the Fletcher family, became terminally ill. All her medical details, including her blood type and genetic information, were copied to many big research institutions because the family was looking for the best doctor to treat her.

In the end, Justin was the one who cured her.

After that, the woman fell in love with him, and they got engaged. To many, it was a prospective union between a political family and a prestigious family with exceptional medical talent. Still, to Veronique, it was a day of loneliness and hopelessness when she left the country with the baby she was carrying.

No one would believe that after so many years, fate would bring them together again. At the end of the day, none of them managed to escape the wheel of fate and fortune.

Bailey sat silently on the couch for a solid ten minutes until she snapped back to her senses when her phone rang.

“Bay, did you get it?”

Bailey forced a rigid smile. “Yeah. I just got it. I was about to send it to you,” she replied dryly.

She logged into her account and emailed Scarlett's details to Veronique.

Silence set in until the ambiance turned suffocating, and no one spoke for a long time.

Bailey was beginning to feel numb when Veronique finally uttered, “So, it's her. I guess there's no running away. I have to face her in the end. Thanks, Bay. I'll deal with the rest on my own. There's no helping me beyond this.”

Bailey paused for a bit and replied, “I deliberately left some traces in the database so that they know the data was leaked. Even if the Fletcher family knows Scarlett's information was hacked, they'll not blame the research center, so you can go ahead and do whatever you want with peace of mind.”

Veronique was brought to tears. “I know you could well wipe off any traces,” she choked out, “but you chose to do so because of me, right, Bay? I can't thank you enough for what you did for me...”

“Cut it out, Vero. Please don't make me cringe. I got to go. I'll hang up first, okay? Let me know if you need anything else. You helped me a lot when we were studying medicine. It's only reasonable that I return the favor. Of course, that's unless you don't take me as a friend.”
