Chapter 661 A Blood Feud

“Caridee...”

Simon shoved Veikko away with all his might and threatened him through gritted teeth, “If anything happens to my sister, I'll make sure you pay dearly.”

After saying that, he went after Caridee.

As Veikko gazed at the slender figure running through the snowstorm, his eyes darkened.

I shouldn't have come into her life from the start.

He reckoned that a cheery and bubbly girl like her should not get entangled with someone as undeserving as himself, for he was carrying more than just his dark side on his shoulders.

It was then that Bailey paced over and scrutinized the young lady standing next to Veikko.

Startled, the young lady got down on one knee and inclined her head a fraction. “Ms. Jefferson! I... I didn't seduce Veikko. No, I mean... There's nothing going on between us. It was him—”

Bailey waved her hand and said placidly, “You can leave now. I need to have a chat with Veikko.”

The female special agent moved aside in a hurry.

Narrowing her eyes, Bailey pinned her gaze on the man in front of her and went on in a deep voice, “Caridee was overjoyed while expecting you. You really shouldn't have forced her to give up on you like that. It's way too cruel.”

Veikko shot her a gaze as cold as the winter and replied casually, “She's your sister-in-law, Bailey, so it's completely understandable that you wish for her happiness. But please don't build your hope on my character. This has always been the way I deal with any woman who's fallen for me—cut the Gordian knot and boot them out of my life.”

Perhaps it was the will of the heavens that Veikko would never be privileged to build a happy family like an ordinary man, given his background and the burden on his shoulders. Letting go of his heart's desire appeared to be the only answer.

Bailey secretly heaved a sigh before she probed cautiously, “Do you really have no feelings for Caridee? If you don't have a thing for her and don't care about her, why would you mobilize all your forces just to seek out any acclaimed doctor who could have a chance at curing her arm?”

“She got hurt because of me, so it's only natural for me to do my part. I'd rather not owe her any favor. I'm sorry if you guys end up getting the wrong idea because of that. Now that I've cleared things up, it's about time that you cease your wishful thinking.”
