Chapter 379

That was the last photo she had taken of Eugene.

Not only did that little boy's death hurt Shannon deeply, but it also left a permanent scar in Bailey's heart.

She had thought she was mentally strong enough to handle anything in life, only to find herself so traumatized that she developed a phobia toward operating tables. It got to the extent where she couldn't pick up a scalpel for three years.

Had it not been for Artemis putting his life on the line, she probably wouldn't go anywhere near an operating table for the rest of her life.

It felt as though that bloody image had been etched into her very soul.

Micah slowly reached out to take the phone from her. His body began trembling violently when he got a closer look at the picture of the adorable boy on the screen.

What the... This boy looks exactly like me! His facial features are so similar to mine that I can't possibly deny it!

Bailey looked him in the eye as she said, “The boy was only two and a half years old when he died. Shannon brought him with her as she went out to do some shopping. They were crossing a road when an SUV came speeding in their direction. The two of them were sent flying by the impact. Shannon was lucky enough to survive the hit, but Eugene... Well, his skull shattered when he hit his head on the corner of a building. I tried my best to save him, but it was to no avail. Poor Eugene died in that car accident.”

Drip!

A teardrop rolled down Micah's cheek and fell off his chin, forming a tragically beautiful pattern as it hit the screen of the phone.

He was a man who killed without blinking an eye, struck fear into people's hearts on an international level, and was treated with respect by countless people.

Despite how tough Micah was, he shed manly tears when he found out about the tragic death of his son.

As he tried really hard to suppress his sobs, he sounded like a beast that was howling in anguish.
