Chapter 507
Micah staggered a few steps backward.
Those painful memories that Holden had brought up were like daggers stabbing into his heart, causing
him so much agony that he was barely able to breathe.
Shannon would never be able to recover from the trauma of losing an arm and the death of her
precious child.
As such, he knew that the Lewitt family would never forgive him no matter what he did.
Shannon resented him.
Even Ivy, who had once treated him like her own son, hated him to the core.
Holden also disregarded their friendship of twenty years in order to protect his sister.
Micah knew that he was a sinner, and because of his guilt, he would never be able to look the Lewitts
in the eye ever again.
His heart was filled with destion as he turned around and stumbled away.
The man was fully aware that Holden was right. Shannon had had a life worse than death. Now that Ivy
had returned to soothe Shannon''s wounded soul, he shouldn''t appear and cause her more misery.
Looking at his friend''s sorrowful and lonesome figure, Holden finally let out a sigh and said softly,
“Focus on getting revenge for your son first. Perhaps, after that, you can think about getting back
together with my sister. She has been in hell for too long and needs your help to pull her out of it. Even
if you fail to do that, you should join her there and stay by her side.”
Micah halted in his tracks and balled his hands into fists tightly before replying, “Sure. I will definitely
avenge my child. Holden, thanks for your blessing. When I finish what I have to do, I wille for
Shannon and never leave her again.”
Meanwhile, at the medical base, Justin was personally performing the surgery to remove Veronique''s
womb.
As Veronique had already given birth to Zephyr, she had no more regrets. Since she was unable to
keep her womb, her only option was to remove it.
Members of the Revelle family were sitting on the bench outside the operating room while waiting
patiently for the oue of the surgery.
Bailey beckoned Wendy over and led her to the side before asking softly, “Wendy, do you know
Huntley?”
When Wendy heard the question, she understood what Bailey meant at once.
However, after all those conflicts that had happened between the two of them previously, she was
reluctant to answer the woman so readily.
“Ha! Ms. Jefferson, aren''t you very capable? You can find out yourself. Why are you asking me?”
Bailey found Wendy''s response rather amusing.
Even though Wendy was a little prideful, she had a kind heart.
Besides, Bailey was aware that someone raised by the Hoffmans wouldn''t be bad by nature.
To ease the tension in the air and make Wendy feel better, Bailey said, “My dear Wends, please don''t
be angry anymore. You are not really in love with Lionel anyway, so it wouldn''t matter if you let my
friend have him, right? Besides, you got back together with Holden again because of the trouble Vicky
created. In a way, Vicky had helped youe to terms with your true feelings, don''t you think? Wends,
my dearest Wends—”
“Stop.” Wendy touched her arm and said through gritted teeth, “Stop being so mushy. Look, I''m having
goosebumps all over.”
Bailey broke into a cheeky smile and said, “I will stop being mushy only if you tell me about Huntley.”
“Huntley is Mr. Raymond''s godson. That old man''s son died young. As such, a few years ago, he
decided to adopt Huntley, who was only twenty back then.”
Bailey narrowed her eyes slightly and replied, “So that means Mr. Raymond has been intentionally
grooming him? Is he really that impressive?”
Wendy nodded and replied, “Huntley is the most capable one among his peers. Many years back, Mr.
Raymond had already had the intention for him to marry my sister, but the proposition was rejected by
my parents. The matter was brought up again recently, and Juliana had dly agreed to it. I really
wonder what that girl is up to.”
Bailey pondered for a moment before asking, “Is Huntley highly regarded in the family?”
“Well, not exactly, but people do show him some respect. By the way, this was the situation before I left
the Hoffman family. I don''t know anything about his progress in the family in recent years. However, the
fact that Mr. Raymond had chosen him to keep Julie in check is enough to show that he is definitely a
powerful character.”
Bailey raised her brows when she heard that. It was more or less simr to what she had guessed, and
she could not help but wonder if Juliana would be able to manage.
She had a feeling that Huntley was definitely not someone to be trifled with. The fact that Raymond
thought highly of him clearly meant that there must be something special about him.
“Wendy, your sister is currently not doing very well. I know that you still have some influence in the
Hoffman family. Can you do me a favor?”
Wendy cast a nce at Bailey and said slowly, “You want me to find out what''s going on internally
within the Hoffman family?”
“Yup. I have to understand the situation first in order to help Julie. She''s your only sister. I''m sure you
don''t want anything bad to happen to her, right?”
Wendy let out a cold snort before replying, “You don''t have to try so hard. I didn''t say that I won''t help
you. Give me three days. I will try my best to investigate the current situation in the Hoffman family.”
“Sure.”
Right after their conversation ended, the door of the operating room opened.
Bill stood up and walked toward Justin at once. Tugging at the doctor''s arm, he asked, “How did it go?
Is she all right?”

Veronique did not tell her father that she had cancer. All he knew was that her uterus was seriously
damaged and needed to be removed.
Feelingpletely drained, Justin massaged his temples and replied in a hoarse voice, “The surgery
went well, and we don''t expect her to suffer from any side effects. Don''t worry, she will wake up once
the anesthesia wears off. You should go get some rest at the ward first.”
Just as Bill was about to speak, Yvonne grabbed his arm and said, “Dad, Justin still needs to wrap up
the surgery. Let''s not hold him up. We can ask him more questions after Veronique''s condition
stabilizes.”
Just then, Justin turned toward Bailey and said, “Pleasee with me. There is something I want to
ask you about.”
