Chapter 751
From afar, Bailey saw a tall, slender figure reflected in the ss window. After standing up in ce, she
suddenly started jogging and rushed into the kitchen in one breath. She hugged him from behind and
buried her face in his back.
“Artemis, I''m so grateful that I could perceive everything and seize the opportunity to stay with you. It''s
strange. As death approaches, I''m not afraid at all. Perhaps this is love. It gives people infinite
courage.”
Artemis''s body stiffened, and a hint of guilt shed in his eyes.
Ultimately, he let her down, and even yed her at thest moment, cutting off all her thoughts and
hopes.
“Let''s not say anything and not think about anything. Let''s quietly stay by each other''s side, waiting
together for the moment the Grim Reaperes to im our lives.”
Bailey curled his lips into a smile and said, “Wow, what did you cook? It smells so delicious.”
Artemis turned down the stove a little, then turned around and hugged her, smiling.
“It''s wild game meat. They hunted it in the mountains. Later, make sure you drink more of the soup.”
Bailey reached up to wrap her arms around his neck, stood on her tiptoes, and tilted her head back to
shower his thin lips with kisses. Artemis held her waist with one hand, securing her in his embrace
while using the other to hold the back of her head and kiss her.
A momentter, Bailey, panting, leaned close to his ear and whispered, “Artemis, how about doing it in
the kitchen?”
After saying that, she began to take action. Artemis pursed his lips and said with a grin, “Stop messing
around. We can go to...”
“This ce is quite nice, and I want it here. Artemis, can you satisfy me here? Can you?”
She rarely acted coquettishly, and seldom behaved unreasonably.
Now, all she wanted was to break free from all the constraints and live a little more recklessly without
leaving any regrets. With that thought, she reached out and swept away the bottles and jars on the
stove.
“Would you please fulfill this wish of mine? Please, is that okay?”
Artemis was so wrapped up in her that he was entranced. How could he possibly object?
“All right...”
After half an hour, Bailey walked to the dining table with weak and wobbly legs andzily slumped
down on the chair, looking exhausted. Her body really couldn''t stand the heat anymore. In just half an
hour, it was bing hard to bear.
Luckily, he restrained himself. Otherwise, she would have fainted in the kitchen. Artemis walked out
carrying a tray, and his clothes were neat.
Who would have known he was entwined with her in a passionate embrace just five minutes ago,
unwilling to let go?
“Here, drink the soup. I''ll go make you a couple of small dishes.”
As Bailey took the soup bowl from his hands, she watched his retreating figure with a deep, hidden light
swirling in her beautiful eyes.
Artemis...
Were you really going to do this? A hint of hesitation flickered in her eyes after staring at the soup bowl
before her momentarily. In the end, all her hesitations turned into hopelessness.
She slowly raised her head and drained the bowl of soup in one gulp. Hopefully, she was just
overthinking it. It was not a big deal to don''t a little of it.
Artemis had be an indelible part of her existence within the depths of her being, seamlessly
blending their souls and intertwining their very essence. With unwavering conviction, she didn''t think
she could ever purge him from her world A few minutester, Artemis came out carrying two tes of
dishes.
Seeing her obediently finish the soup, he couldn''t help butugh and say, “There''s more in the kitchen.
Do you want me to get you another bowl?”
Bailey raised her head andughed, “Bring a bowl and drink with me.”
“Sure.”
Outside the door... Zeke stood before the steps, squinting at the heartwarming scene inside, and his
eyes gradually became moist.
He slowly raised his head, gazing at the gloomy sky. His heart filled with pain. Was this their destiny?
Since there was never any intention to let them be together from the start, why did they fall so deeply in
love during the process?
Now that they couldn''t be separated from each other, how could they have a future with such a disaster
befalling them? A single tear rolled down his cheek as his body shivered slightly in the cold wind.
Bay, don''t me me. I can''t bear to see you leave, and I''m sure your child and parents feel the same
way. I know Artemis is your only concern. He is your life, or perhaps even more important than your life.
But there are too many people in this world who care about you. To avoid breaking their hearts, I can
only use such means to keep you here. Don''t me me.
Inside the restaurant... After having their fill of food and wine, Bailey leaned back in their chair
contentedly, gazing tenderly at the man who was in the kitchen, washing the dishes. In her life, she
actually had no regrets. Even if she were to die the next moment, she wouldn''t have a single word of
comint.
Artemis left the kitchen and said gently, “You''ve been tired all day. Let''s go back and rest. We can talk
about anything else tomorrow.”
Bailey reached out his hand to him and said, “Hug me.”
Naturally, Artemis wouldn''t refuse. He picked her up and walked toward the door. Bailey wrapped her
arms around his neck, burying her face in his chest.
After walking together in the snowy wind for a while, she finally spoke, “You must have put a memory-
loss drug in that soup, right?”
Artemis''s emotions did not change in the slightest. He knew all too well that if he showed any change in
emotion, she would see right through him.
As long as he didn''t admit it, she couldn''t do anything. She had been doubting him ever since the
arrival of Tarragon. She must be constantly wondering when he would give her the memory loss pill.
“Would you believe me if I said I didn''t? And would you believe me if I said it did? Bailey, let''s cherish
the present moment and have less suspicion, shall we?”
Bailey chuckled softly.
“All right, I won''t be suspicious anymore. Whatever it is, it is. Honestly, using a memory loss pill might
not necessarily erase my memory. If you don''t believe me, let''s make a bet.”
Artemis chuckled lightly and said, “There''s no need to bother with such a boring bet. Just go back to
your room and get a good night''s sleep. Don''t overthink it, all right?”
“Hmm.”
As they approached the Luther residence entrance, Bailey spoke again, “Artemis, you only have this
life for your chance. I''ve promised Edmund the rest of my life, so even if we be a pair of desperate
lovers, you must hold on to me tightly. Do you understand?”
“Yes.”
Bailey felt her head getting heavier, and her vision began to blur. Who was she? How could a
renowned doctor like her not notice the unusual changes in her body? It seemed he still gave her the
memory loss pill. When she woke up again, she would probably havepletely forgotten him.

“Artemis, let''s meet again in our next life.”
As thest word faded away, she slowly closed her eyes. Artemis suddenly stopped in his tracks,
lowering his head to gaze at the delicate face in his arms.
Aplex expression appeared on his handsome face, which seemed like a smile, yet not quite. His
emotions were unfathomable. It hurt so much. He had heart-wrenching pain as if his heart was being
gouged out from within his body.
He gazed at her facial features with an almost insatiable longing, as if wanting to etch her into every
cell of his body. He knew after tonight''s farewell, they would be parting ways forever.
“Hand her to me. It''s time for us to go.”
Zeke''s voice from behind pulled Artemis back from his wandering thoughts. He slowly twisted his stiff
neck, turning his head to look at Zeke, and said hoarsely, “Take good care of her.”
