Chapter 709 I Wish It Was Your Child

Bailey knew that the pain of losing an arm was still within Shannon's limits to bear.

However, it was her lover's cold indifference that had driven her into the abyss of agony, allowing her to taste a heart-wrenching, bone-searing torment.

Bailey might advise Victoria to let go of the past and accept Lionel anew or encourage Wendy to discard past grievances and rekindle her romance with Holden. Despite that, she would never persuade Shannon to forgive Micah.

The advice from friends and family was undoubtedly salt in the wound, causing Shannon even more pain.

The pain of losing an arm, the grief of losing a child, and the removal of her womb—Bailey didn't know what reasons Shannon had left to forgive Micah.

Similarly, she didn't know what reasons there were for them to be together again.

Hence, at the time of their parting, Bailey said nothing and offered no advice. She merely asked about Shannon's future plans.

If Shannon wanted to break free from Micah's entanglement, she could lend a helping hand.

Shannon seemed to have read Bailey's mind and chuckled softly. “Previously, you didn't know Artemis. Naturally, you didn't know Micah either, but now, it's different. You've become close to Artemis, and Micah has to address you as 'sister-in-law' respectfully. I won't make any requests that would put you in a difficult position. As for returning to Tarragon, it's something I've always desired. Although clearing my name doesn't mean much to me, I'll follow my mother and brother's will since it's what they wish for.”

Bailey let out a soft sigh. “Well, if you've made your choice, then I'll support you. What are your plans for the future?”

With an indifferent expression etched across her face, Shannon shrugged her shoulders. “Perhaps I'll adopt a little girl and find a city unknown to others, raise the child to adulthood, and as I grow old, she'll care for me until my last days.”

Then, Shannon turned to head for the door and said, “Take care of yourself. We shall meet again.”

Bailey's eyes began to turn misty.
