Chapter 387
Outside the ward in the military general hospital, Veronique brought the bone marrow donation form to
the Fletcher couple.
All she said to them was, “The Fletcher family is a prestigious one in the political world. Sloan, you wish
to rise to the top, so I''m sure you''re a man of your word. Now that Mr. Raiden is awake, I''m hoping that
you''ll stick to your promise.”
Sloan narrowed his eyes in silence for a while before saying, “I''ve already consulted the specialist in
the hospital about the situation. If my daughter''s body is capable of withstanding the bone marrow
extraction procedure, then we won''t need to waste any more time—we''ll do the operation right away.
On the other hand, if my daughter''s body can''t withstand it, I''m afraid we won''t be able to donate her
bone marrow, and we won''t budge even if you kick up a fuss about it.”
Veronique sneered.
The military general hospital was part of the Fletcher family''s territory. Who would dare to speak the
truth if the Fletchers had bribed the specialists?

It was obvious that they did not want to donate the bone marrow.
You''re burning the bridge after crossing it, but you''re asking me to not kick up a fuss? There''s no way
life would be that easy for you!
“I think it''s best for Ms. Fletcher to undergo a checkup in the General Hospital. After all—”
Before she could finish her sentence, Bailey came out from the intensive care unit and arched a brow.
“What''s going on? Why are you all here?”
Veronique was delighted to see her, and she quickly informed thetter about the situation.
Bailey nodded before turning to Sloan with a smile. “Sloan, if you''re worried that the extraction of the
bone marrow will hurt your daughter''s body, then I will tell you with certainty that your worry is for
naught. Although Ms. Fletcher''s body is weak, donating her bone marrow is unlike donating her kidney
—it won''t affect her.”
Yet, before Sloan could say anything to that, Tamara let out an icyugh. “Why should I believe you?
You''re on Veronique''s side, so naturally, you''d be saying these to help her out.”
Bailey smiled and said, “Well, I''ll speak to you as Anonymous, then. The donation of her bone marrow
won''t harm her. Are you satisfied with this answer, Mrs. Fletcher?”
“You—”
Instantly, Bailey turned to Sloan and lifted her brows. “The Fletcher family is prestigious, so are you
going to break your promise like that? I just told you that the bone marrow donation wouldn''t affect Ms.
Fletcher''s health. Don''t you think that you should be persuading your daughter to hurry up and do the
operation now?”
Sloan''s expression darkened as he uttered, “Are you sure it won''t harm my daughter?”
“Absolutely. If anything happens to Ms. Fletcher, feel free to hold me ountable. However, if you
deliberately hurt her and try to hold me ountable for that, I won''t entertain you.”
After a moment of silence, Sloan turned to Tamara and said, “Call Lettie and have here to the
hospital as soon as possible for the operation. Let her know that if she refuses toe, she''ll no longer
be part of the Fletcher family, and she won''t be allowed to enter the house ever again.”
If Bailey ever had any doubts about Tamara and Sloan being a couple, she would not have any now.
The two of them made identical kinds of threats.
After Scarlett received her mother''s call, she angrily destroyed the decors in the hotel.
It looks like I can''t rely on my parents anymore; it''s better to rely on myself. Even if I can''t get Justin, I''ll
make their lives a living hell!
In the afternoon, Scarlett came to the hospital.
To avoid having Scarlett change her mind, Bailey did the operation on her in the military general
hospital. After extracting Scarlett''s bone marrow, Bailey passed it to Veronique.
Once Veronique received it, she hurried to the medical base.
Justin had already prepared for the bone marrow transnt. The moment he took the bone marrow
sample from Veronique, he told thetter to rest in the room next door while he darted into the
operating room.
It took him hours to transnt the bone marrow to his son, but everything went well.
Justin''s friends all let out sighs of relief when they heard the good news.
In the meantime, Bailey remained in the hospital by Raiden''s side. Only when midnight came and after
she was sure that he was no longer in a critical state did she leave the hospital while he was asleep.
The first ce she went to after exiting the hospital was the medical base.
Upon hearing from Veronique that the operation was sessful, the weight that had been on her chest
for years was finally lifted.
Shannon had lost her son, and Bailey did not wish to see Veronique lose hers as well.
The next day, Dwayne returned.
He immediately went to Bailey after getting off the ne.
The first thing he said to her when they met up was, “Bailey, were you the one who convinced Victoria
to leave me?”
Bailey froze.
Without missing a beat, Artemis threw a rough kick at Dwayne. “Be nicer to her. What is with that tone
of yours?”
Dwayne rolled his eyes, finally understanding what Micah felt all the time.
So we mean nothing to you when your beloved''s around, huh?
Bailey looked at Dwayne and sighed. “Vicky''s pregnant, and the baby is Lionel''s. She doesn''t want to
waste your time and feelings, so she chose to leave.”
“Where did she go?” Dwayne urgently asked. “If she''s pregnant, then she needs someone to take care
of her, now more than ever. Tell me where she is. I''m going to go to her and stay by her side.”
Bailey could see how genuine his love for Victoria was, but that was exactly why she was going to stop
him from getting hung up on Victoria.
She did not want him to waste his youth away.
Both Victoria and Dwayne were equally important to Bailey. One was her good friend, and the other
was her man''s good friend.
“Listen to me, Dwayne. Vicky is pregnant with Lionel''s child. It''s no longer possible for the two of you to
be together. Take my advice and let her go. You''ll find a girl who''s a match for you in the future.”
Dwayne pursed his lips. He wanted to keep pushing for the answer, but he knew that Bailey was not
going to tell him.
Left without a choice, he turned to Artemis and uttered, “Artemis, help me out!”
Artemis gave him a cold nce and replied, “Pregnant women shouldn''t be worrying about things all
the time. You being by her side will only trouble her and affect her mood. You''ll be nothing but a burden
if you stick with her.”
Dwayne''s anger evaporated in an instant, and he became dispirited instead.
Artemis'' words had hit the bull''s-eye.
“All right. Go home and rest for a few days first. Don''t keep pestering and annoying her. It''s not as if
your world will copse if you can''t get Victoria. I know that because I don''t see any possessive desire
in your eyes when you look at her. You don''t have romantic feelings for her. You only can''t let her go
because you don''t want to admit defeat.”
Dwayne stayed silent.
In the military general hospital, Tamara watched with icy eyes as Olivia entered the ward. She then
scoffed and said, “You now have a daughter-inw and a grandson, so why have youe?”
Olivia inclined her head slightly as a cold glint shed past her eyes.
Do you think I want to be here? If not for the Fletcher family''s decision-making power in the political
scene, do you think I''d enjoy bowing to you arrogant people?
“My, what do you mean? Lettie hasn''t married Justin yet, so what daughter-inw can I possibly have,
let alone a grandson? Moreover, the Xuereb family isn''t going to take in an illegitimate child and
humiliate themselves.”
Right as Tamara was about to spit out a few more mocking words, Scarlett stopped her.
“Thank you for taking the time to visit me, Mrs. Xuereb. s, I''m not fated to be your daughter-inw.”
“Youngdy, what are you talking about? Don''t worry. I''ll make sure that you''ll marry Justin. I refuse to
ept anyone but you as my daughter-inw.”
