Chapter 847 You Have Been Fooled

There was no expression on Shannon's face.

She had grown accustomed to treating Micah with indifference. “Their child is still alive. Wendy's womb is still intact. There are no insurmountable chasms between them, so they can mend their relationship. As for us? I can't think of any reason for us to rekindle our old flame. I also feel there's no need for us to fix our broken relationship. You're almost fully recovered now. In a few days, I'll be leaving with Dawn. If our past love still means anything to you, please fulfill my request and don't disturb our peaceful life. I'm begging you.”

After hearing those words, Micah didn't seem too disappointed.

Having experienced it so many times, he had become immune to it.

In the past, hearing such words might have caused him pain. However, at that moment, all that was left in his heart was numbness.

How could two people find a way out if they were both completely in despair?

Therefore, he could not let her influence him. He had to hold onto his dreams and hopes even in his deepest despair.

He believed that the heavens would grant them another chance, allowing them to live out the rest of their lives together.

“All right, calm down. Let's not talk about this anymore,” said Micah. Regardless of where she goes with the kid, I'll follow them.

Perhaps sensing his stubbornness, Shannon let out a silent sigh in her heart. I'll just let him be. Perhaps he'll get sick of it over time.

When Bailey came out of the medical room, she bumped into Artemis head-on. “Did Daddy leave?”

“He did. It's not very safe for him to stay here. After all, Damien has been following him for years and knows his whereabouts. Only when he returns to Hallsbay will his safety be guaranteed. When that happens, we can rest easy and attend to other matters.”


Bailey glanced back at the medical room behind him, a thought crossing her mind. “Come, follow me to the operating room.”

After saying that, she grabbed Artemis' hand and ran inside.

Artemis seemed to guess her intentions and couldn't help but laugh. “We already have two sons and a daughter. That's enough. I'm not greedy. You should stop, too.”

“I want to get pregnant and have you treat me like a diva, though,” said Bailey.

Haven't I been doing that? He raised his eyebrow. “Do you really want to do this?”

“Yes. I want to have another child. I'm serious about this. We must cooperate with the national policy and birth more children.”

Seeing her persistence, Artemis didn't try to stop her anymore. He reminded, “We still need to go to Moranta to clean up the mess. Let's not stay here for too long.”

“I know. With my specially formulated medicine, you'll recover in two days.”

During the night, inside a private mansion in Moranta, Astrid was escorted into the living room by two bodyguards from outside.

After she arrived in the couch area, one of them viciously kicked her in the calf.

Pain surged through her, forcing her to kneel.

Sitting on the couch, Shaun tipped up her chin with the tip of his leather shoe. His expression was a mix of amusement and seriousness. “You're quite fond of that little bastard in my family, don't you? Perfect. How about I use you to lure him out tonight? I'll make you two into a pair of star-crossed lovers”

Astrid tightly clenched her fists, a hint of hesitation flashing in her eyes.

From the tone of Shaun's voice, it was clear that he was tired of her and was planning to end her life.

If she failed to save herself, she would die that night, which she didn't want to happen before she could have her revenge.

As such, her only option was to take a risk. If she won, she could use Shaun to eliminate Tucker and exact revenge on Caridee.

All her misfortunes could be traced back to those two individuals. Hence, even if her final destination were hell, she would drag them down with her.

Once she made up her mind, she lunged forward and embraced Shaun tightly, pleading urgently, “Mr. Carter, you can't take me to the appointment. It's because I'm not the real Caridee. If you take me to see Veikko tonight, he will kill you.”

Shaun was taken aback.

Once he regained his composure, he abruptly leaned in, gripping her chin tightly. Through gritted teeth, he demanded, “Repeat what you just said.”
