Chapter 741
With her intelligence, she''ll probably figure out by tomorrow that I''ve been poisoned by Soul Reaper. If I
don''t intervene, am I supposed to just watch as she stabs her own eyeball and ruins her sight?
Perhaps losing an eye will make her thoroughly despise me, stopping her from having any hopes in our
rtionship. But she still has a long future ahead of her. I''ve already burdened her and hurt her. How
could I destroy one of her eyes as well? Cutting off their ties forever with one of her eyes is perhaps too
heavy a price to pay.
Seeing that Artemis was not swayed, Bailey couldn''t help but smile. It seems that he is determined to
do it this way. All right, then I''ll ruin one of my eyes, and share the pain with him together.
They had long be one, so even if she didn''t hurt herself, seeing him like this was enough to cause
her heart-wrenching pain.
With that thought, she suddenly raised her hand and fiercely jabbed the needle into her own eye. Zeke
sensed her intentions and wanted to rush forward to stop her, but he was too far away and was unable
to reach her in time.
“Artemis, if my sister''s eye is ruined, I will definitely kill you.”
As soon as he finished speaking, a dark shadow suddenly entered through the door, rushing in front of
Bailey like a ghost. It grabbed her wrist, stopping her movement. It was Cameron.
“Stupid woman, he has cheated on you and dumbed you. Why do you still care about him?” Bailey''s
legs suddenly gave out, and she fell straight to the ground.
Zeke had already rushed to her side and quickly reached out to support her. Bailey looked at Artemis
with tear-filled eyes and a look of despair on her ashen face.
“Artemis, death is not scary. What''s scary is living a life worse than death. There''s no antidote to Soul
Reaper. If you die and I live, every day will feel like a year. Even so, do you still want me to live? Just
how cold and ruthless can you be?”

As soon as she finished speaking, she closed her eyes and fainted straight away. The men in the room
were simultaneously astonished.
Zeke was astonished by the phrase “Soul Reaper” in her words.
Has Artemis been poisoned by Soul Reaper?
Cameron and Artemis were also astonished that Bailey already knew the truth.
How did she find out?
Artemis looked at Cameron with a cold gaze and asked in a deep voice, “Did you let the cat out of the
bag? Or did you tell her about it?”
Cameron rolled his eyes and said, annoyed, “I can''t wait for you to die, and I hope she''ll hate you right
away. That way, I''ll have a chance. How stupid would I be to tell her that you''re poisoned?”
Zeke carried Bailey sideways in his arms and looked at Artemis with narrowed eyes.
“Have you been poisoned by Soul Reaper? Did you do all this on purpose, just to make Bay give up on
you?”
Artemis looked into his eyes and retorted, “What else could it be? Should I let her follow me to death?”
Zeke fell into silence, ncing at his sister in his arms and then at Artemis across from him, a hint of
hesitation flickering in his eyes. If Artemis was truly destined to die, out of his selfishness, Zeke
wouldn''t want to see his sister sacrifice herself for love.
Bay has endured so much hardship and has yet to experience the love and care the world has to offer;
she shouldn''t have to die so young.
“Now that she knows, what do you think we should do?” Artemis tilted his head and looked at
Cameron.
“Do you have any solutions?” Cameron sneered, “I only know poison-crafting. Do you want to try it on
her?”
Artemis was stumped. Zeke shook his head helplessly and sighed.
“I didn''t notice that you''re poisoned by Soul Reaper. I don''t know how she found out. I was watching
her closely the whole time and didn''t let any information slip. This girl has been quite secretive, never
mentioning it to me the whole time. Now that she already knows, let''s just let things take their natural
course. There''s no need to deliberately erase it. Fate has arranged it this way, and there must be a
reason for it.”
After saying that, he ced the person in his arms into Artemis''s arms.
“I''m returning your woman to you. Considering your performance today, I won''t easily agree when you
go to the Shurmer residence to ask for her hand after you''ve taken the antidote in the future.”
With that, he pulled Cameron along and headed outside.
Cameron said somewhat helplessly, “This woman is really too clever. I was hoping that after dumping
Artemis, she woulde with me to the Yablon family, but it turned out like this.”
The young girl nestled in the corner of the couch saw that everyone in the room was leaving, so she
quickly stood up as well.
“L-Leader, I''m taking my leave too. I''ll leave you to your work.”
Artemis didn''t even spare her a nce as he stared nkly at the woman in his arms, his hawk-like
eyes filled with a look of distress.
“I didn''t hesitate to set a trap to hurt you, yet it still couldn''t outsmart your brilliance. Bailey, do you know
that too much wisdom can bring harm? Your life is so fascinating. How could I bear to let you give up
this colorful world to apany me to the cold and deste hell?”
Plop.
Two teardrops rolled down Artemis'' eyes and fell onto Bailey''s pale cheeks. A man did not cry easily,
but when his heart broke, he couldn''t help but cry.
Although he held great power and was influential internationally, his helplessness when facing his
beloved still shattered all his strength.
How should I deal with this?
How should I protect her?
Cough, cough.
A violent cough erupted, followed by a surge of blood churning in his stomach. He suddenly leaned
forward, spewing a mouthful of ck blood onto the ground. The eerie darkness, almost like the Grim
Reaper''s call, was inescapable no matter how hard he tried to resist. In the corridor outside, Zeke
looked at Cameron with narrowed eyes and asked in a deep voice, “Did you know about his poisoning
all along? Did you and Artemis put on this act together?”
Cameron shrugged and said, imitating Artemis''s tone, “What else can we do? Let her die for love?”
Zeke was stumped for a moment, then reached out to touch his forehead before asking, “Is there really
no antidote? You are the heir of the Yablon family, and Soul Reaper originated from your family. Is there
really no way at all?” Cameron snorted coldly.
“If I could cure him, would I have gone through all this trouble? I can''t cure him, and I''ll say it onest
time, I can''t. Not just me, even Bailey can''t do anything about it.”
After saying that, he walked towards the staircase.
“Hey, Holden, find me a ce to sleep. I''m so sleepy.”
Holden nodded at Zeke and said, “Mr. Shurmer, let''s go together. It seems our help is no longer needed
here.” Zeke''s face looked terrible. Artemis''s move showed that he was at his wit''s end and would
undoubtedly die.
Could they really only die together?
Bailey didn''t stay unconscious for too long, probably because she was worried about Artemis, so she
forced herself to wake up. The moment she opened her eyes, the luxurious and exquisite crystal
chandelier on the ceiling came into view.
As she nced to the side, she saw Artemis squatting by the bed.
She couldn''t help but mock him, “What now? Are you not nning to use hypnosis or memory loss pills
on me?”
Artemis lowered his head slightly and sighed.
“I do want to, but Zeke doesn''t agree.”
“You...” Bailey was extremely furious, suddenly sitting up from the bed and pointing at the door.
“Get out of here! I don''t want to see you now.”
