Chapter 563
At the Revelle residence, Veronique struggled to sit up in her bed when Bailey walked into the
infirmary.
“Stay still,” Bailey said as she strode over to push Veronique back to the bed.
Veronique held her arm and asked worriedly, “Are you injured? I should havee to see you, but my
body wouldn''t let me. You''ve only rested for a few days. Why did you leave home so soon?”
“I''m fine,” reassured Bailey as she sat on the edge of the bed. “I took some medication that I prescribed
for myself, so everything''s okay now, but the development of the anti-cancer drug for you has been
dyed. How are you feeling? Are you experiencing any difort?”
Veronique shook her head and reached out to take her wrist, checking her pulse.
A whileter, she heaved a sigh of relief. “Your pulse is stable, and your body seems fine. That''s a
relief.”
“You don''t have to worry. After all, I''m the famous doctor, Anonymous. Of course I''ll take good care of
myself. By the way, why did you move back to the Revelle residence? I went to Justin''s medical base
but didn''t find you there.”
A bitter smile spread across Veronique''s lips. A whileter, she revealed what had happened back at
the Xuereb family to Bailey.
Bailey arched a brow and sneered, “I can''t believe Mrs. Xuereb is this foolish. Rather than epting
her daughter-inw and grandson, she''s pressuring her son to marry someone he doesn''t love.
However, you and Justin are legally wed, so no matter what she does, it won''t change the fact that
you''re married.”
Veronique let out a helpless sigh and said slowly, “The Xuereb family''s butler sent me a text asking me
to give up on Justin. Apparently, Mrs. Xuereb has started a hunger strike and hasn''t eaten for a day.
She''s using it as a way to pressure Justin toply with her wishes. Bay, I''m grateful that you''re here.
Could you please help me with the divorce procedures at the City Hall?”
At tha Rava rasidanca, Varoniqua strugd to sit up in har bad whan Bay walkad into tha
infirmary.
“Stay still,” Bay said as sha stroda ovar to push Varoniqua back to tha bad.
Varoniqua hald har arm and askad worriadly, “Ara you injurad? I should havaa to saa you, but my
body wouldn''tt ma. You''va only rastad for a faw days. Why did youava homa so soon?”
“I''m fina,” raassurad Bay as sha sat on tha adga of tha bad. “I took soma madication that I prascribad
for mysalf, so avarything''s okay now, but tha davalopmant of tha anti-cancar drug for you has baan
dyad. How ara you faaling? Ara you axpariancing any difort?”
Varoniqua shook har haad and raachad out to taka har wrist, chacking har pulsa.
A whtar, sha haavad a sigh of raliaf. “Your pulsa is sta, and your body saams fina. That''s a
raliaf.”
“You don''t hava to worry. Aftar all, I''m tha famous doctor, Anonymous. Of coursa I''ll taka good cara of
mysalf. By tha way, why did you mova back to tha Rava rasidanca? I want to Justin''s madical basa
but didn''t find you thara.”
A bittar sm spraad across Varoniqua''s lips. A whtar, sha ravad what had happanad back at
tha Xuarab family to Bay.
Bay archad a brow and snaarad, “I can''t baliava Mrs. Xuarab is this foolish. Rathar than apting
har daughtar-inw and grandson, sha''s prassuring har son to marry somaona ha doasn''t lova.
Howavar, you and Justin aragally wad, so no mattar what sha doas, it won''t changa tha fact that
you''ra marriad.”
Varoniquat out a halss sigh and said slowly, “Tha Xuarab family''s bur sant ma a taxt asking ma
to giva up on Justin. Apparantly, Mrs. Xuarab has startad a hungar strika and hasn''t aatan for a day.
Sha''s using it as a way to prassura Justin toply with har wishas. Bay, I''m grataful that you''ra hara.
Could you asa halp ma with tha divorca procaduras at tha City Hall?”
“Divorce? You''re divorcing Justin?” Bailey narrowed her eyes, disapproval shing across her face.
“Are you giving up that easily? This isn''t the Veronique I know. You never gave up on finding a
treatment for Zephyr''s condition. So why are you giving up on your husband so easily?”
Veronique chuckled and shook her head. A bitter look appeared on her face as she exined, “Bay,
you''re a doctor, so let''s analyze it from a rational point of view. I''m going to die soon. There might be a
miracle, but the chances are slim. I don''t want to cling to him shamelessly when I''m seriously ill.”
“But—”

“Furthermore, if Justin''s uncle ends up in jail and his mother dies of starvation because of me, do you
honestly think that we can still live together peacefully and make our marriagest forever?”
I want Justin to spend myst days with me, but can I be this selfish? If I''m the reason Mrs. Xuereb
dies, her death will always be a thorn in our rtionship. I''d rather cherish our fond memories together
than cling to a painful future.
“Are you sure?”
“Yes, I''ve been contemting this since I returned. I''ve made a decision. I was going to ask Yvonne to
handle the proceedings at the City Hall, but as the princess consort of the royal family of Adrune, it
wouldn''t be appropriate for her to be seen in public, especially at the City Hall. I''ll need your assistance
with this.”
“Okay, then. Since you''ve made up your mind, I will respect your decision. However, you can''t p with
one hand. I''ll need to speak with Justin and inform him of your decision to see if he agrees with it.”
“Sure. Thank you, Bay. Even if he disagrees with the divorce, I believe you have a way to get the
procedures done.”
“Divorce? You''re divorcing Justin?” Bailey narrowed her eyes, disapproval shing across her face.
“Are you giving up that easily? This isn''t the Veronique I know. You never gave up on finding a
treatment for Zephyr''s condition. So why are you giving up on your husband so easily?”
After Bailey left the Revelle residence, she had nned to return to the medical base to talk to Justin.
However, she soon changed her mind and told the driver to give her a ride to Luther Group.
Instead of entering through the main entrance, she got the driver to drop her off at the underground
parking lot.
The news about her embezzling the charity funds was all over the inte, so if she were to appear in
public, it would cause another uproar and attract the paparazzi.
Without encountering any obstacles, she used the CEO''s elevator to ascend to the top floor. As she
walked past the secretary''s office, she overheard hushed whispers from inside.
Chloe strode out of her office to see everyone discussing Bailey, saying that Bailey didn''t deserve to be
the CEO''s wife or the matriarch of the most prominent family. Hearing that, she felt a rush of
exhration.
Using the charity foundation''s scandal, she had sessfully destroyed Bailey''s reputation.
Bailey was nowmbasted by many.
“Shut up, everyone! How dare you gossip about the CEO''s wife?”
Chloe feigned fury and stopped everyone from gossiping before approaching Bailey with a friendly
smile. “Hello, Ms. Bailey. What brings you here?”
Bailey returned her smile. “I''m here to talk to Mr. Luther. Where is he? Is he in his office?”
“Oh, you came at the wrong time. Mr. Luther just entered the advanced conference room twenty
minutes ago.”
“Oh, really?” A mischievous smile tugged at Bailey''s lips. “It''s okay. He''lle to meet me once I send
him a text.”
Chloe gritted her teeth in hatred. Damn this woman. Is she showing off in front of me? Since she''s
here, I''ll call the newspaper to ask them to dispatch the paparazzi here.
