Chapter 518
At that, a glint shed across Micah''s eyes, which slowly regained focus.
He turned his head to look at Shannon before stiffly lifting the corners of his lips. “I owe you an arm,
and now I''m returning it to you, so why won''t you ept it? Shanny, do you really want to cut ties with
me?”
Shannon scoffed coldly and retorted, “You think you can repay everything you owe me just by severing
your arm? We''re not children anymore, Micah. Don''t be so na?ve.”
Micah lowered his gaze and nced at his bandaged right arm. A faint smile could be seen forming on
his pale lips.
“Even if I can''t repay you what I owe, it still feels good to know that you at least have an ounce of

sympathy for me. This proves that you''re not as merciless as you seem to me. As long as you still have
hope for me, I''ll be able to muster enough courage to continue living the rest of my life.”
Shannon violently shook his hand off, exerting so much strength that she affected his injury. The
intense pain that assailed him made Micah tremble, and beads of sweat could be seen forming on his
forehead.
Shannon subconsciously stole a nce at his arm and saw that the white bandage was tainted red. His
wound must have been torn apart.
“Stay still. I''ll get the doctor to help you with your wound. You better listen to me. Stop threatening me
with your arm. Anything you do is useless before you gain revenge for our son.”
A faint half smile emerged on Micah''s face.
Does that mean she''ll consider forgiving me after I gain revenge for our child?
Micah hoped that he and Shannon could stay alive rather than dying together.
The concept of reuniting with her in the next life was too much of an illusion, and he dared not hope for
that. To him, being able to hold on to her in this life was good enough.
After avenging his son, he would then quit Tarragon and travel the world with Shannon. They would
lead a quiet and peaceful life from then on.
He still had his whole life ahead of him, so he was confident that one day, he would be able to soothe
the pain in her heart and make her ept him again.
Of course, it didn''t matter even if Shannon refused to ept him. He was willing to stay by her side
and protect her until the end of his life.
At the Shelbert Condominium, Bailey got up and headed toward the door as the doorbell was ringing.
When she opened the door, she saw Lionel standing outside, which wasn''t a surprise.
“Aren''t you fast? She just arrived not long ago, and you''re already here. Well, what do you want? Vicky
ns to stay with me for a few days, so if you''re here to pick her up, you don''t have to.”
Lionel was emanating a faint frosty aura as he stood there, a steamy air surrounding him.
It was raining cats and dogs outside, and the man appeared damp.
“I''m her husband, so it''s only right that I came to bring her back to the Gezmond residence. She has no
reason to stay at your house mostly because it''s inconvenient, for Mr. Luther is staying here as well.”
Words eluded Bailey when he mentioned the word “husband.”
That''s true. This man is Vicky''s husband, so what right do I have to stop him from bringing his wife
away? Furthermore, what he said wasn''t wrong. Artemis lives here as well, so it wouldn''t be convenient
for Vicky to stay the night.
“Bay, it''s okay. I''ll follow him home.”
Victoria''s voice came from behind, and Bailey instinctively turned to look at her. “It''s fine. I''ll tell Artemis
to move back to the Luther residence for the time being. You can stay here. It''s no big deal.”
Victoria merely smiled and shook her head. “That won''t do. I would bemitting a huge sin if that
were to happen. You''re now pregnant, and Mr. Luther is so worried about you that he''s practically
sticking to you like glue. How could I separate you both?”
“Vicky...”
“Bay, I know what you want to say, but I''m going to be a mother soon, too. They all say women are
strong when they be mothers. I still have a long path ahead of me, and I need to walk that path
myself, no? You can''t help me with that, so just let go and allow me to shoulder all the responsibilities
that I need to.”
Bailey could only let out a resigned sigh. “Fine. Take care of yourself, okay? Remember to call me if
there are any problems with the baby.”
“Of course. You''re the famous doctor, Anonymous. I know there''s nothing for me to worry about when I
have you checking on me.”
Artemis returned to the condominium at night.
Bailey told him about Caridee following Veikko to Gregan when he got home.
“I''m sorry that I failed to keep an eye on your sister and allowed her to go with Veikko. How about you
send someone to bring her back? Veikko is there to handle matters regarding the underworld, and it''s
going to be dangerous—”
Before she could finish her sentence, Artemis waved his hand and cut her off. “That''s okay. It''s good for
her to go out and witness the cruelty of the real world. The Luther family has been protecting her all this
while, and she''s still so innocent and unworldly even though she''s already eighteen. How could she
stand on her own two feet in this cruel world if she doesn''t grow up? She will be the matriarch of a
prestigious family in the future, so how can she take on that responsibility if she didn''t even have the
knowledge and guts?”
In truth, Bailey wanted to say, “Your sister has fallen so hard for Veikko, so there''s no way she''ll
be the Luther family''s matriarch in the future.” In the end, however, she swallowed the words
when they reached the tip of her tongue.
Artemis had a lot on his te at that moment, so she didn''t want to trouble him with trivial matters.
“Artemis, we can''t let Tarragon and the Saviors know about our rtionship. They were not on good
terms to begin with, and if they found out that we''re in a rtionship, chaos will definitely ensue.”
“I know. Don''t worry. There aren''t many in Tarragon who know about my true identity. Our rtionship
will never be leaked. Unless... someone is trying to sabotage us.”
The next day, Genevieve sneakily brought Shirley to Dn''sb to create a test tube baby.
