Super Mommy and Her Triplets

Chapter 771

Chapter 771 Injecting Toxin

Was I set up by my own friend? It was my naïveté that led me to have my guard down against others, and I deserve to experience this once.

It is just that... She might have implicated Veikko and disrupted his plans for revenge. Heaven really has a way of playing tricks on people.

The scum who molested her turned out to be Veikko's enemy. In order to help her vent her anger, Veikko had directly taken care of that jerk, Shaun.

That jerk was no one else but Mr. Shaun Carter of the Carter family. If Shaun sent someone to investigate, likely, they could easily find out that the culprit is Veikko.

If Shaun manages to investigate Veikko, it would be difficult for Veikko to catch Shaun off guard and take him by surprise. As thoughts swirled around Caridee's mind, the door opened, and Veikko walked in after finishing his phone call. She quickly stood up, took a few impulsive steps towards him, and grabbed his shirt, anxiously saying,

“Did I ruin your plans? You shouldn't have saved me.”

The young man slightly narrowed his eyes, and a hint of displeasure flashed in his gaze. In a cold voice, he said,

“If I hadn't taken any action, I would have failed to repay Bailey's life-saving kindness.”

A hint of sadness flashed through Caridee's eyes when she heard that. Veikko turned his face away slightly, avoiding her gaze, and added, “Besides, I've had a deep-seated grudge for Shaun all along. He arranged for several men to ruin me back then, and now I had arranged for a few mastiffs to cripple him. I'm just returning the favor. It has nothing to do with you. Even without you, I would have done the same. You don't need to feel any psychological burden.”

A bitter smile appeared on Caridee's face.

Was there not even a tiny bit of it for her sake?

“Oh, I get it now, but I still have to thank you for pulling me out of that hell,” said Caridee.

After saying that, she flashed a brilliant smile at Veikko, which made her look glamorous like a rose, yet pure like a lily. She was pure and flawless. Veikko caught a glimpse of her radiant smile from the corner of his eye, and his heart fluttered gently.

When Veikko saw this kind of smile aimed toward him, it made him feel discouraged and unworthy, as if he didn't deserve her.

“It's getting late. You should rest early. I have some matters to attend to, but I will come and see you tomorrow,” said Veikko.

After saying that, he turned around and prepared to leave.

But suddenly, as if he had thought of something, he slowly stopped in his tracks and looked back before adding, “I found out who drugged you. It was your friend Astrid. She was acting on Tucker's orders. You... should keep your distance from her in the future.”

Caridee stumbled back a few steps, her face revealing a touch of sadness.

It was really her!

Seeing Caridee in such a terrible state and noticing her right arm hanging limply in front of her, Veikko couldn't help but feel distressed for her. After hesitating a moment, he finally stepped forward and carried her up.

He softened his tone and said, “Don't be sad for those who don't deserve it. While you're getting upset here, she's laughing at you from the shadows, thinking what a foolish person you are. Although you are a bit foolish, you can't be so kind anymore, or someone will take advantage of you.”

As Veikko ended his little talk, he had carried her to the bedside. Gently laying her down, he tucked her in and covered her with the blanket. Caridee thought Veikko was leaving, so she quickly reached out her hand and grabbed him.

She turned her head to look at the pitch-black night outside the window and said with a trembling voice, “I'm scared. Can you wait until I fall asleep before you leave?”

Veikko slowly sat down on the edge of the bed and gently took her hand as he whispered, “All right. I'll watch over you while you sleep. This is my territory, so you don't have to be afraid. No one will hurt you here.”

Caridee didn't say anything to that. She slowly closed her eyes, and a sweet smile appeared on the corner of her lips. As he gazed at the delicate and pretty face before him, Veikko's heart sank deeper and deeper.

He knew that this young girl was slowly infiltrating his world. The day his world completely merged with hers, he feared he would never be able to let her go again.

He knew it was wrong, but he couldn't help himself. All he could do was watch helplessly as he slowly succumbed.

In Tarragon Headquarters, the news of the leader's critical condition swept through the entire organization, causing widespread panic and unease.

In the medical base, inside the intensive care unit, Artemis leisurely leaned against the head of the bed, enjoying the fruits fed to him by his wifey with a contented expression on his face.

Bailey couldn't help but laugh and say, “Do you know what you look like right now?”

Artemis raised his eyebrows and asked, “What?”

“A debauched monarch from ancient times,” said Bailey.

Artemis suddenly reached out, pulling her into his embrace, and his two hands began to roam restlessly.

“Does it look more like it now?” teased Artemis.

Bailey glared at him and struggled to free herself from his embrace, saying irritably, “Stop messing around. Let's talk about serious matters.”

As soon as she finished speaking, she stuffed a piece of fruit into his mouth, silencing him.
