Chapter 458
When word about the miscarriage spread like wildfire, not everyonemented the sudden turn of
events. Some were overjoyed about it, while others sympathized with Bailey.
Before long, all sorts ofments popted the inte.
Aizen wrote: “Bailey Jefferson''s a b*stard child who doesn''t even know who her biological father is.
Her mother, Sophia Carr, is a shameless wench and a homewrecker. God probably couldn''t bear to
watch it any longer. Not only did He punish the promiscuous Sophia by having her perish in a fire, but
He also punished Bailey''s baby.”
Anotherizen expressed: “Perhaps the Luther family couldn''t handle the pressure and refused to
ept a woman who''s a b*stard into their family, so they fed her the abortifacient.”
There were also countless spectivements suggesting that Artemis must''ve grown tired of Bailey
and fallen for a younger, prettier girl. As a result, he kicked her in the stomach, causing the miscarriage.
All of the theories and rumors verified the same truth—Bailey had miscarried.

She had lost the leverage to marry into the Luther family. Thus, it was a day of celebration for the
legion of women who were vying for the chance to marry into a wealthy family.
At the medical base, Felicity looked at Bailey, who was lying motionless in the hospital bed, and
eximed while patting her chest, “You scared me! I really thought you''d miscarried.”
Though Bailey''splexion was still quite pale, she was a lot more energetic than before.
Upon hearing Felicity''s words, she couldn''t help teasing the older woman, “I thought you''d hold a party
to celebrate after finding out about my miscarriage. After all, my identity is rather awkward, and
everyone''s calling me a b*stard. If I marry into the family, you''ll all be criticized.”
Felicity shot her a re and snappily said, “Although the public''sments are nasty, I can''t deny the
fact that you''ve contributed greatly to our family. My views aren''t muddled; I know what''s right and
wrong, so you don''t have to make fun of me. As long as the little ones are children of the Luther family,
I''ll turn a blind eye to everything else.”
A faint smile hung on Bailey''s lips. “In that case, I have to thank you for not stepping on me when I''m
down.”
After letting out a scoff, Felicity turned toward her son with her brows furrowed and asked, “What''s
going on? Haven''t you two been at Luther Group the entire day? How could this happen?”
Artemis nced at his mother and said tly, “Do you think Luther Group''s that secure? There are
plenty of people out there who are looking to harm her. After all, the matriarch of the Luther family and
the wife of Luther Group''s CEO are both extremely attractive positions. Those women would stop at
nothing to jump at the chance.”
At that, Felicity''s expression dimmed. “Then, you''ll have to investigate this thoroughly. Although I don''t
like Bailey much, I won''t allow anyone to harm my precious grandchild.”
Artemis said nothing in response to his mother''s words. Instead, he made his way to Bailey''s side and
spoke with her for a bit. He then spun on his heels and left the room, saying he''d go collect the report
from Justin.
In the study, Artemis leaned on his desk and scrutinized the medical report in his hands.
“Bailey took a wonder drug. What sort of harm will it cause her body?”
Justin was in the midst of printing some documents. He swept his gaze across the papers before
replying, “It might cause menopathy.”
Menopathy? How would taking a wonder drug result in these gynecological diseases?
“Are you sure? She''s taking an anti-abortifacient, so why would it cause such side effects?”
Justin threw the papers onto the desk, signaling Artemis to see for himself.
This time, thetter wasn''t pretentious and readily admitted, “I don''t understand. Exin it to me.”
Squinting his eyes at Artemis, Justin snorted a bark ofughter. “You''ve sure be low-key after
getting yourself a wife. Someponents in the anti-abortifacient can cause changes to one''s uterus,
and that''s also why its effects are so remarkable.”
Artemis narrowed his eyes as he crumpled the papers in his hand.
“What sort of diseases can menopathy cause, or what sort of effects will it have on one''s body?”
“The woman might experience severe pain during her periods.” Just then, Veronique walked in. “Very,
very painful cramps.”
Pursing his lips, Artemis queried in a low voice, “Is there no way to treat it?”
“No. The development of period pain due to menopathy is dependent on one''s body. There are no
medications to manage the pain, let alone treat the condition. One can only endure the pain. If the
patient''s significant other knows how to appreciate her, perhaps it might lessen her sufferings.”
At that, Artemis was rendered speechless.
The next day, Holden made another visit to Sunny Resort.
In the reception room, Raymond fiddled with his beard as he asked, “Have you thought about it, Mr.
Lewitt? Will you hand over your son in exchange for the two conditions I proposed?”
Holden leaned against his seat and looked at the manzily. “Do you think I''d be sitting here if I don''t
agree to your conditions? All right, you''ve got yourself a deal. Tarragon''s forces havergely withdrawn
from Epea, and we''ll also hand over the control of Zaewora to the Hoffman family. I''ve already done
everything I should, so can you release my son now?”
Release him?
Raymond certainly wasn''t nning on letting Holden''s son go easily.
The fact that Holden was willing to give in so readily showed how much he cared about his son.
Raymond could use Holden''s son as a pawn to keep him in check and reap more benefits from him in
the future. The older man would be a fool to let such a useful pawn go just like that.
“Very well. I''ll release your son when I return to my family.”
