Chapter 738
In the afternoon, Bailey regained much of her strength after resting for a few hours.
Zeke had already made the arrangements for Bailey''s overseas trip so she could set off at any time.
Inside the bedroom, Zain stood by the bed, looking at Bailey who was lying on it with narrowed eyes.
In a deep voice, he said, “Your health ispletely ruined. If I were you, I wouldn''t be running around
the world recklessly. Instead, I would stay at home and take good care of myself.” Bailey shook her
head with a smile.
“No one can iste themselves from this world. I still have many matters to attend to and cannot stop
moving forward. Your help is no longer needed in Dellmoor. You should go back to Hallsbay. I''m
worried that Justin won''t be able to handle everything on his own. After all, this crazy n was your
idea, and you can help out in case of any unexpected situations.”
Zain pulled out a porcin bottle from his pocket and tossed it into her arms.
“This is a medicine for vitality restoration. Take one pill every day. I''m afraid you''ll die out there being in
such a state.” Bailey red at him.
“How dare you curse me. Do you know that''s like betraying your master?”
Zain turned around and walked towards the door, saying, “Do you even look like a master? I never
considered you as one in the first ce.”
Bailey couldn''t help butugh. After he left the room, she lifted the nket and began to get dressed.
She knew her body couldn''t take any more strain, and the most sensible thing to do now was to return
to Hallsbay to recuperate.
But the person she cared about the most was now out there, his fate unknown. Even if she could
immediately regain her strength upon returning, she wouldn''t go back. No matter what, she had to
figure out what was going on with Artemis now.
After Zeke saw off Zain, he turned to Cameron in the living room and asked, “Mr. Yablon, we are going
to Tarragon to find Artemis. It might be inconvenient for you to join us. We can part ways here. You can
either go to Hallsbay or return to the Yablon family.”
Cameron snorted coldly.
“As expected of siblings, both of you have learned how to abandon your benefactor once his help is not
needed. Bailey promised me that as long as I develop the toxin she wants, she will take me with her
wherever she goes for the next six months.”
Zeke couldn''t help but hold his forehead, sighing.
“She''s going to see her boyfriend. Why are you following her? To y gooseberry?”
Cameron shrugged indifferently and said, “I''ve never been to Tarragon Headquarters. I''ll go with you
guys for a tour and broaden my horizons.”
Speechless, Zeke knew he couldn''t persuade him otherwise. Since Bailey didn''t object to him joining
them, he didn''t dwell on the issue any longer. He walked towards the bedroom.
An hourter, the group left Dellmoor and boarded a private jet that flew directly to Tarragon
Headquarters. Juliana crouched in front of the bed in Huntley''s bedroom at the Hoffman residence,
smiling at thetter.
“I''ve contacted my master and sent her your medical records. After carefully studying them, she told
me that the tendons in your limbs can be reconnected, and you can live a normal life. So, Huntley, you
must hang in there. I will protect you, just like I did 15 years ago.”
After hearing this, Huntley felt that his emotions didn''t change much. It seemed that being able to
recover wasn''t particrly important to him.
“Juliana, I heard that you agreed to marry me. You... don''t have to force yourself, you know. I''m aware
that you don''t have feelings for me. My intention in getting close to you isn''t to possess you. I simply
wanted to repay your kindness, so you really don''t have to do this. You have someone you admire, and
you shouldn''t have topromise yourself by getting involved with someone like me... especially since
I''m now a cripple.”
Juliana slowly reached out her hand and ced her palm on his chest, feeling his strong and powerful
heartbeat.
“Feelings can develop over time. I have decided to let go of the past and strive to be the most
powerful woman in Adrune. The person I once admired is nothing more than a fleeting memory for me
now. All I know is that you were by my side during my toughest times. Perhaps that''s what fate
intended, granting us this connection. So, we should cherish it.”
“You...”
“I already told you, my master will help you reconnect your limbs'' tendons. What are you worried
about? Although you won''t be able to practice martial arts in the future, this will still give me a sense of
security.”
Huntley moved his fingers slightly and was hit by a piercing pain. He wanted to gently stroke her head;
she was the girl he had admired and silently watched over for over a decade.
Now, as she leaned on the edge of the bed with her palm resting on his chest, saying that he made her
feel secure, he was naturally moved.
If this were a dream, he would only wish for the morning to arrive a littleter, so that he could savor
such moments of peace and bliss a little longer.
“Juliana, I initially wanted to let go and allow you to find the happiness you desire. But now that you''ve
willingly involved yourself with me, don''t me me for not letting go of you in the future.” Juliana slowly
leaned in and rested her head on his shoulder.
“Okay, I won''t me you. We still have plenty of time to cultivate our feelings for each other. I believe
that as the years go by, you''ll be able to see your reflection in my eyes.”
Huntley did not know what to say.
Really? I hope so! If the heavens truly favor me and grant me the chance to protect and care for you, I
will love and cherish you with the most devotion. I''m only afraid that once that man appears, he will
instantly break through your defenses, causing you to fall into his world once again.
Meanwhile, Philip was sittingfortably on the couch in his study slowly enjoying a ss of red wine.
Tucker stood in front of the coffee table and asked with a frown, “Dad, can we really take over the
entire Tarragon? I feel like things are moving too fast. Are you sure that Artemis has really been
poisoned by The Enigma?”
Philip swirled the wine in his ss and smirked.
“Mr. Yablon has been investigating the whereabouts of Soul Reaper and even burned rence''s
corpse. He must be worried that Bailey would find out, so he staged this whole act. There''s no doubt
that Artemis has been poisoned by Soul Reaper. Even Mr. Yablon can''t cure this poison. He might as
well just wait for his death. Once he dies, we can use Wendy to threaten Holden. Micah is nothing.
When the timees, we''ll coborate with Sofie and Mr. Doyle, and Tarragon will already be within
our grasp.”
Tucker thought for a moment and cautiously said,
“Bailey''s medical expertise is not to be underestimated. If she ends up neutralizing the poison, we''ll be
the ones in trouble.”
Philip waved his hand dismissively.
“No way. Her master, Maerlus the Dark Healer, spent more than half his life trying to develop an
antidote and never seeded. I don''t believe that she, a young woman, could do it in just one month.”
That''s true. There''s a limit to the onset of Soul Reaper, which is at most half a month, and he will
undoubtedly die. By the way, Mr. Carter of the Carter family from Epea has already agreed to lend us a
helping hand. However, he has one condition: after the matter is settled, he wants all of Tarragon''s
forces in Epea to be withdrawn, as he aims to be the sole ruler of Epea.”
Philip raised his eyebrows.
“Mr. Carter? Do you mean Shaun Carter, the man who stabbed his father''s mistress to death and then
tortured his half-brother, of the same father but a different mother, to the brink of death?”

“Yes, Father. If it were old Mr. Carter, we would need to be cautious. But this one, we can actually make
good use of him.”
