Chapter 339

After sitting up in bed, she leaned back and asked, “How is Max doing? Does he have a fever after the venom was neutralized?”

Artemis handed a cup of warm water to her. “Drink some water to warm your stomach. I'll get someone to bring you some food in a while.”

As Bailey took the cup from his hand, she noticed a slight change in their relationship.

Both of them wanted to talk about the elephant in the room, but neither dared to start first.

“I...”

“I...”

“You go first.”

“No, you first.”

Cocking his brow, Artemis reached out his hand to caress her cheeks before breaking into a smile. “Fine, I'll go first. I acted rashly back then and got you pregnant without your knowledge. I apologize for that.”

Bailey rolled her eyes as she mumbled, “You don't sound sincere at all.”

Enamored by her reaction, Artemis couldn't resist sitting by her side and pulling her into his embrace.

“I still remember what you told me at Luther Group back then. You said that the man was a rabid dog and that you would castrate him if you saw him again. Now that he's right in front of you, do you still want to do it?”

Bailey shot him a glare.

He must be teasing me for not carrying out my threats. D*mn this b*stard!

With a gentle smile, Artemis nuzzled his head against her neck as he joked, “Just admit it if you can't bring yourself to do it. I promise I won't laugh at you. After all, we're both adults and will be sleeping frequently with each other. If I were to be castrated, it would be the bane of your sexual life.”

Bailey didn't know what to say.

What sort of nonsense is he spouting?

Thump! Thump!
