Super Mommy and Her Triplets

Chapter 340

Back at the medical base, Bailey was feeding Maxton some oatmeal in his ward.

It was then that the phone by the bed rang.

Before she could react, Maxton—one step ahead of her—had already scooped it up.

“Bay, it's Daddy Eddy.”

The hand Bailey was holding the spoon with trembled slightly.

Edmund... I don't know how to face him. Even though I promised him to leave Hallsbay to start a new life with him, I chose to return in the end. I'm sure he's aware of my feelings for Artemis given how smart he is.

It was for that reason she didn't know how to break it to him.

After a brief hesitation, she put down the bowl and took the phone from Maxton's hand.

She then walked to the balcony and answered in a raspy voice. “Edmund, I—”

Before she could finish, Edmund interrupted her. “I heard Max was bitten by a cobra. Has the venom been neutralized?”

Bailey sighed inwardly with her head hung low.

Edmund, oh Edmund, there are just some matters we can't resolve by avoiding them. If you don't dare face it, wouldn't I be holding you back for the rest of your life?

“Edmund, there's something I need to tell you.”

As tension filled the air, Edmund's slightly hoarse voice rang out after a momentary pause. “I know what you want to say. It's all right. What matters now is Maxton. Since you didn't succeed in leaving this time, we'll think of another way. You should go back to whatever you're doing as I've still got something to deal with. Bye.”
