Chapter 372
A loud p echoed across the room.
Olivia had mmed her palm on the desk.
“Impossible. I''ll tell you this now, Justin. I will never ept that b*stard as a member of the Xuereb
family, much less that b*tch as my daughter-inw.”
Justin merely replied, “You can leave now.”
Sliding her gaze to the corner of her eyes, she saw Zephyr standing by the door. He was like the spark
that sent Olivia''s rage over the edge.
She strode over to the child and grabbed his neck. Killing intent red in her eyes as she choked the
boy.
My family still needs to secure themselves in the political world with the Fletcher family''s help. I won''t
allow Veronique and her child to destroy the engagement between the Xuereb family and the Fletcher
family.
Veronique wasing up the stairs when she saw Olivia choking Zephyr.
A wave of terror engulfed her, and she rushed toward them without a second thought.
“Let go! Zephyr can''t take any more abuse! Let go of him!”
Olivia''s rage red. She shoved Veronique when she released her grip on Zephyr''s neck.
Veronique had just returned from the press conference, so she was still in high heels. With a shove
from Olivia, she lost her bnce and toppled backward.
Justin raced toward her and hurriedly grabbed her. However, he could only grasp onto the end of her
sleeve and watch as Veronique''s back hit the floor with a loud thud.
The next second, her white skirt was drenched in blood. Red liquid soaked the fabric. It was horrifying.
Justin''s pupils constricted at the nightmarish scene. He raised his hand, ready to p Olivia, but his
rationale snapped back in ce. Gaining back control, he bent down and carried Olivia to the
emergency room.
“Zephyr, call Bailey immediately and have here over.”
Zephyr red at Olivia with a burning rage. His teeth mped down on her arm and tore off a piece of
flesh.
“Argh!”
A shrill scream sliced through the room.
Christopher dashed over to see his wife shrieking as she held her bloody arm tight to her chest.
He turned his gaze to his grandson and saw the hatred in Zephyr''s eyes. His heart sank.
“Zep—”
Before he could get the whole word out of his mouth, Zephyr had run away.
Zephyr reached for the phone in his pocket as he ran.
Artemis should be d that Zephyr called at just the right moment.
He would''ve been depressed if the kid had called ten minutes earlier.
A loud p echoed across the room.
Olivia had mmed her palm on the desk.
“Get up quick! Zephyr called me earlier, saying Olivia pushed Vero. Now, Vero is bleeding profusely
after a bad fall. The fertilized ovum had only been imnted into her body not long ago, yet she fell
terribly. I fear—”
As she spoke, Artemis had already brought their clothes over.
“Stop talking and start changing. I''m sending you to the medical base.”
In the end, Veronique still lost the baby in her belly.
Not only did she lose the baby, but her womb had suffered a second injury, so Bailey suggested she
undergo a hysterectomy.
Veronique had just woken up from her sleep when she heard Bailey''s suggestion. She shook her head
furiously.
“No, Bay. I can''t remove my womb. How can I have another baby if I don''t have my womb? If I can''t
have a baby, what will happen to Zephyr? Who will save him?”
Bailey looked at Justin, who stood at the end of the bed. “She has already lost her rationale, so her
words don''t count. You decide. If she doesn''t remove her womb, it might turn cancerous. Think things
through.”
Justin was a renowned doctor. He knew the horrible consequences of leaving a heavily damaged
womb in the body.
Looking at the pallor on Veronique''s face, he came to her side and sped her hand.
Veronique saw the look in his eyes and panicked. She squeezed his arm with all her might and sobbed,
“Justin, you''re not that cruel, right? You won''t just watch as Zephyr await his death, right?”
Justin caressed her face. His touch was lingering and kind. “I can''t watch you slowly walk to your death
too. There''ll be another way, Vero. If things don''t work out, we can hire someone. I won''t let you take
that risk.”
“No!” Veronique was adamant. “I know my body. Give me another year. After I deliver a child to treat
Zephyr, you can remove my womb. Please!”
Justin pressed his lips into a thin line. He was about to retort when Bailey shook her head at him. She
turned to Veronique and said, “Fine. We won''t remove your womb. You rest, and we''ll talk after your
body gets a bit better.”
Bill sat on a long bench outside the emergency room, fuming.
Yvonne red at Olivia with tears threatening to fall from her eyes. “My sister traveled around the
entire world to look for ways to save Zephyr. She had no choice but to try for a test-tube baby. Then, in
came you, and with a light shove, you not only killed her baby, you even shattered Zephyr''s hope.”
“Get up quick! Zephyr colled me eorlier, soying Olivio pushed Vero. Now, Vero is bleeding profusely
ofter o bod foll. The fertilized ovum hod only been implonted into her body not long ogo, yet she fell
terribly. I feor—”

As she spoke, Artemis hod olreody brought their clothes over.
“Stop tolking ond stort chonging. I''m sending you to the medicol bose.”
In the end, Veronique still lost the boby in her belly.
Not only did she lose the boby, but her womb hod suffered o second injury, so Boiley suggested she
undergo o hysterectomy.
Veronique hod just woken up from her sleep when she heord Boiley''s suggestion. She shook her heod
furiously.
“No, Boy. I con''t remove my womb. How con I hove onother boby if I don''t hove my womb? If I con''t
hove o boby, whot will hoppen to Zephyr? Who will sove him?”
Boiley looked ot Justin, who stood ot the end of the bed. “She hos olreody lost her rotionole, so her
words don''t count. You decide. If she doesn''t remove her womb, it might turn concerous. Think things
through.”
Justin wos o renowned doctor. He knew the horrible consequences of leoving o heovily domoged
womb in the body.
Looking ot the pollor on Veronique''s foce, hee to her side ond closped her hond.
Veronique sow the look in his eyes ond ponicked. She squeezed his orm with oll her might ond sobbed,
“Justin, you''re not thot cruel, right? You won''t just wotch os Zephyr owoit his deoth, right?”
Justin coressed her foce. His touch wos lingering ond kind. “I con''t wotch you slowly wolk to your deoth

turned to Veronique ond soid, “Fine. We won''t remove your womb. You rest, ond we''ll tolk ofter your
body gets o bit better.”
Bill sot on o long bench outside the emergency room, fuming.
Yvonne glored ot Olivio with teors threotening to foll from her eyes. “My sister troveled oround the
entire world to look for woys to sove Zephyr. She hod no choice but to try for o test-tube boby. Then, in
Rage still simmered within Olivia. Her temper red when a woman younger than her scolded her.
“No one asked her to give birth to that b*stard anyway! She wouldn''t have had this many problems if
she didn''t give birth in the first ce.”
Fury stirred within Yvonne at Olivia''s crude remark. She was about to tear Olivia a new one when Bill
grabbed her hand. He looked at Olivia and said, “The Revelle family has two daughters. My elder
daughter married into royalty. Thus my younger daughter must find a husband willing to live with us. If
your son is unwilling, I''ll advise my daughter to divorce him.”
A fresh swell of rage rose in Olivia at his cruel words.
What is this old bat talking about? Is he saying Justin''ll be living with the Revelle family if he agrees?
Even the Fletcher family didn''t dare to make such an unreasonable request. How dare he!
“Don''t worry. Even if my son never marries, he will never live with the Revelle family.”
Olivia didn''t know she would be eating her words soon after.
Aftering out of the emergency room, Justin said, “Veronique is my wife. I will never separate from
her in any way unless she passes away.”
Olivia fainted from his words instantly.
Justin ignored her and turned to Christopher. “She''s still my mother, so I''ll let the matter where she
caused Vero to miscarry slide this once. Please respect my wife and son. If anything happens to both
of them, I won''t continue living, and the four of us will reunite in heaven.”
Christopher sighed.
My wife has been headstrong her whole life. She can''t give up on her brothers and is adamant about
sacrificing her son''s marriage to pave the way for her family. Even though I disagree with her methods,
we''ve been married for decades; I can''t just divorce her.
“I''ll talk to Olivia. I''m upset over Veronique''s miscarriage too, so when she gets better, I''lle over to
apologize to her.”
After watching Christopher and Olivia leave, Bill asked, “Have you thought about an alternative n?
Now that you had a falling out with the Fletcher family, they will likely not donate the bone marrow
anymore. What are you going to do about Zephyr?”
Before Justin could say anything, Bailey chimed in as she walked over, “I''ll think of a way to get the
Fletcher family to donate the bone marrow. Rest assured.”
It looks like I still have to beg Raiden at the end of the day.
