    Chapter 574 Not Your Child


    Am I ready for it? Well, at this point, what else can I do? I''ve already been told that Zeke and Shirley


    have officiated their marriage. It''s obvious that I don''t belong in his world. If I expect too much, I''m just


    going to trouble others and myself. I might as well forget about it and focus on the Hoffman family.


    Juliana considered the child as the best gift from God because the child would keep herpany for


    the rest of her life. I shouldn''t be greedy. The more I want, the more I''ll lose in the process.


    “Thank you, Huntley. Although I don''t know why you would help me, I know you don''t have any evil


    intentions. I thank God for sending you when I was at my lowest. If not for you, I''m afraid I would''ve


    already aborted this child,” Juliana uttered.


    In response, Huntley couldn''t help but chuckle. I also met her when I was at my lowest. She''s the


    reason I''m here today.


    “You ought to stop overthinking and be careful in the next few days. I''m afraid that Mr. Raymond might


    afraid that he''ll lose control over me after I''ve bonded with you. Therefore, he''ll keeping up with


    ways to tear us apart. You must look after yourself,” Huntley said.


    “Okay. I will. You should do the same.”


    ...


    Early the next day in the private airport in the Luther residence, Artemis was tidying up Bailey''s trench


    coat and urging, “Please stay in over the next few days. If you need anything done, get Ken to do it for


    you. I''m leaving him here, so stop doing everything yourself. As for the anti-cancer medication


    research, you can bring the machines home. Don''t leave home. Do you hear me?”


    Bailey nodded with a smile. “Don''t worry. Why are you talking to me as if I were a child?”


    Artemis then bent over to carry his daughter up into his arms. While caressing her head, he smiled and


    reminded her, “Stay home and keep your mommypany. If you need anything, call me. I''ll bring


    back what you need from overseas.”


    Instead of answering, Susan snuggled in Artemis'' embrace and giggled.


    Seeing that, Zayron pouted and gritted his teeth. “Are you guys done? One of you is all over the


    daughter while the other one is showering the eldest son with love. Did you pick me up from the bin?”


    Bailey immediately reached out her hand to smack the back of Zayron''s head. “When you released the


    snakes and injured dozens of people, I paid for all the victims'' medical fees! Would I have done that if I


    picked you up from the bin?”


    Zayron was rendered speechless.


    Artemis, on the other hand, narrowed his eyes and gazed at Zayron. In a deep voice, he said, “Your


    grandparents are old, and your mommy isn''t feeling well. Stop fooling around and making them mad.”


    Zayron rolled his eyes and wanted to refute.


    Right then, a chuckle rang out from behind. “Let Zayrone with me. I''m very fond of this child. Who


    knows? He might end up leading the Shurmer family in the future.”


    Everyone turned in the direction of the voice and saw Zeke walking toward them with an umbre in his


    hand.


    Zayron instantly ran toward Zeke and greeted him, “Hi, Uncle Zeke!”


    Zeke threw his umbre aside and carried Zayron in his arms. “It''s all right. If they don''t want you, I


    want you! I''ll take you around from now on.”


    With that, Zeke raised his gaze toward Artemis and said, “Be at ease, okay? I''ll take care of Bay and


    the kids. Don''t worry.”

    Artemis lowered his gaze to check his watch and nodded. “Okay. It''s gettingte, so I need to board the


    ne. Don''t stay here, you guys. It''s cold out here. Go back into the Luther residence.”


    “I don''t mind. I''ll watch you board the ne, and I''ll only go back in after your flight has taken off.”


    Instead of answering, Susan snuggled in Artemis'' embrace and giggled.


    Artemis didn''t insist. He then put Susan down, kissed Bailey''s forehead, and strode toward the


    boarding gate.


    “He''ll return safely,” Zeke said.


    Upon hearing those words, Bailey retracted her gaze and smiled at Zeke. “I know. That''s because he''s


    not going to leave his family behind.”


    With that, she nced at her kids and uttered gently, “I have something to talk about with Zeke. You


    guys should head back in so that you won''t catch a cold.”


    As Zayron was walking away, he said, “Uncle Zeke, I''ll pack up and go to the Shurmer residence with


    you. I would like to see what exactly the Shurmer family has. Since they look down on Mommy, I''ll


    make sure they''ll never prosper.”


    Zeke smiled and nodded. “Sure. Pack some clothes then.”


    Bailey couldn''t help but frown and ask tentatively, “Does anyone in the Shurmer family have a history of


    heart disease?”


    Bailey was worried that the moment Zayron entered the Shurmer residence, the two older ones in the


    Shurmer residence would end up in the hospital.


    “None of them has a history of heart disease, but there''s one unstable pregnant woman there. Even


    before Zayron mentioned it, I was already nning to bring him there to wreak havoc.”


    Bailey giggled and replied, “You''re so evil, Mr. Shurmer. Zayron is capable of causing a fire in the


    Shurmer residence in the middle of the night. Such a traumatic event can actually cause a miscarriage


    for the unstable pregnant woman. You''re willing to do whatever it takes to get what you want, aren''t


    you?”


    Zeke''s expression turned grim, and he uttered casually, “Well, that kid isn''t supposed to exist.”


    Stunned, Bailey asked with her brows furrowed, “It''s not? Is that not your child?”
