Chapter 508

In the operating room, Bailey had her eyes narrowed as she studied the tissue sample taken from Veronique's uterus lining.

“The cancer cells have indeed spread. The only thing we can do now is to hope that the remaining cancer cells in her body won't move to other organs.”

Justin chuckled self-deprecatingly and said, “We are old-timers with tons of clinical experience. I'm sure we all know we can't leave this matter to luck.”

“Yeah, so we still have to develop new drugs. Give me the sample. I'll take it to the laboratory in the Shurmer residence and find out if we can use the data about her genes and cancer to develop a drug that can prevent the cancer cells from spreading,” Bailey stated.

In response, Justin glanced at Bailey's stomach wordlessly, his intentions clear.

Bailey couldn't help but laugh in amusement. “I'm pregnant, not crippled. I'm not that fragile! Don't listen to Artemis. He's just excessively worried.”

“All right, I'll sort the sample and hand it to you.”

In a room at the Shurmer residence, Shirley sat on the couch, wiping her tears. Beside her sat Zoey, who was keeping her company.

When Zoey saw how sad Shirley was, an idea occurred to her.

“Shirley, there must be a reason why Zeke doesn't want to hold an engagement party for you. I think he has taken a fancy to Juliana and plans to work with Bailey to save Juliana from the Hoffman family.”

Shirley lifted her head abruptly and looked at Zoey with tearful eyes. “What did you say? He wants to join hands with Bailey and rescue that despicable Juliana?”

“I'm not sure, but Zeke has been so distracted lately. I went to the study to bring him coffee a few times, and he was always staring at the two pots of cactus on the table while spacing out. I asked his assistant about them and found out that it was Juliana who gave him those plants. He keeps them on his study table.”
