Chapter 449

Zoey knew she could not count on the Shurmer family.

The paternity test incident had aroused the Shurmer's suspicion.

Though the truth was not out there yet, the Shurmer family would realize something was amiss if she continued taking revenge against Bailey.

That was why Zoey wanted to use Sofie to her advantage since the latter was now on her side. Who cares about kinship? It's all about fighting for our interests. I would have kicked her to the curb had she not been able to lend me a hand.

Meanwhile, Bailey conducted a routine body checkup on Glen at the Chivers residence.

Artemis was with them at the infirmary.

When Yoel saw Bailey putting away the scanning device, he immediately asked, “How is it? Did the cancer cells spread? Some experts said cancer recurrence might happen sometime after the tumor surgery.”

Bailey responded with a faint grin, “Old Mr. Chivers' tumor is non-malignant, so a cancer recurrence is unlikely to happen. I've been monitoring his recovery from time to time, so don't worry. I'll keep you updated if something happens.”

Yoel heaved a sigh of relief. “Thank God. I was worried that the cancer cells might return and grow into malignant tumors. Old Mr. Chivers is so frail now. I'm sure he can't go through the whole process all over again.”
