Chapter 711 Promise To Obey Me

Zain shrugged his shoulders.

“I had wanted to go see her, but she and her man were... Since it wasn't convenient, there was no point in me courting trouble.”

Veronique let out a chuckle before giving him an intent look. “Thank you, Mr. Bryne. I'll give your suggestion due consideration. It's just that seeking the Yablon family's assistance might not be easy. I'm not confident in convincing Mr. Yablon.”

Cocking a brow, Zain reminded her, “Bailey is someone extremely resourceful and well-connected. You can get her to help you. For your sake, I'm sure she'll storm over there and drag Cameron out.”

With that, he made his way to the door and added, “In the meantime, I'll continue researching the cancer cells and find a compound that will be capable of counterbalancing it. Once you have made your decision, come see me at the lab. You guys should focus on getting Cameron; I'll take care of the rest.”

“All right. Thank you.”

After watching Zain's silhouette disappear, Justin narrowed his eyes at Veronique as he asked, “Are you really going to do this?”

Veronique responded with a wry smile. “Justin, the chances of survival are seventy percent. Why shouldn't I go along with it? Am I supposed to accept death just like that?”

Justin was at a loss for words.

At the outdoor grounds of the medical base the next day, Bailey and Shannon were giving each other a farewell hug.

“Take good care of yourself. I pray that once you're fully recovered, you'll finally enjoy peace for the rest of your days.”

“Mmm-hmm. You too. No matter where you go after leaving Tarragon, remember to give me a call. Don't forget that you have a friend here in Hallsbay who'll always miss you.”

Raising her gaze, Shannon kept her tears at bay as she replied in a choked voice, “I will. Regardless of where I am, I'll never forget you.”

With that, she gently nudged Bailey away before heading into the flight terminal.

Just as he passed Bailey by, Holden stopped in his tracks and gave her a nod. “I'll be leaving Wendy and her son in your care while I'm gone. I'll return immediately once I've dealt with Shannon's affairs.”
