Chapter 618


    Chapter 615 Do You Take Me As An Idiot


    Bailey rolled her eyes.


    She knew that he was going to stop her.


    In fact, he was not the only one. She doubted that Edmund would let her leave the medical base either.


    To them, she was walking to her own death by stepping out of the medical base.


    There were countless assassins waiting to take her life outside, and what else would she be doing if


    not courting death by leaving?


    “Zeke...” She reached out to tug the hem of Zeke''s shirt before looking at him with pitiful eyes. “I miss


    Artemis. I wish to meet him soon. I just had a miscarriage, and I''m still weak. The burden of all these


    people is a heavy one on my shoulders. I''m hoping that Artemis cane back and help to split the


    weight...”


    Zeke was smart, and he immediately understood what she meant.


    In other words, she was asking him to let her enter the bear''s cave. How could he possibly do that?


    They were all going to follow in her footsteps if anything were to happen to her.


    “We can think of other ways to lure out the mastermind behind this. There''s no need for you to get


    involved personally. Bay, you have to protect yourself. Your life is linked to these few men''s lives.”


    Resignation washed over Bailey, for she understood what Zeke meant as well.


    If she were to die, those who loved her would live their life miserably from then on.


    However, opportunity and risk came hand-in-hand.


    If she did not show herself, how were they going to lure the mastermind out?


    She was the only one who could tempt them into showing up. Otherwise, things would continue to be


    dyed.


    That was not something she wanted.


    Artemis was trapped in the headquarters, and she did not want to waste any more time.


    Others could say that she was a loser, and she would just let them be. She was forsaking her rationality


    for a man.


    But there was nothing she could do about it. She was so in love with him.


    After taking in a deep breath, she gritted her teeth and said, “Zeke, I must go. You''re right. If I disagree


    with your mother''s request, the familial rtionship between us will be ruined. There are many things in


    life that won''t go our way, and parents are the only ones we must never go against. “


    An angryugh escaped Zeke at that. “You''re good at finding excuses, huh? You said you didn''t care


    about it earlier, but you''ve changed your mind in the blink of an eye. That''s why I can only heed a


    quarter of your words.”


    Bailey smiled at him. “That''s how I get my way around Artemis. I don''t care. You''re my brother, so you


    have to let me have my way. Just say yes, okay?”


    Just as she said that, she reached out to grab his arm and shake it, pestering him like a child.


    Zeke always thought he was a determined person, but he could not hold his ground against her sweet


    words. In the end, he relented. “First of all, I''ll be sending a fleet of cars to go with you. Secondly, I''m


    going with you. Will you agree to this?”


    Bailey initially wanted to tell him that she would only ept the first condition, but upon seeing Zeke''s


    darkening expression, she quickly uttered, “Yes to all your terms”.


    Twenty minutester, Waverly arrived at the medical base.


    The second she saw Bailey, she dragged her outside.


    “Shirley got agitated, and her baby is in danger. You''re an excellent doctor, so I need you to take a look


    at her.”


    Bailey raised a brow and grinned.


    “I remember that Mrs. Shurmer has always been adamant about not having me join the Shurmer family.


    You refused to let me return to my biological family, so why should I curry favor with you? Do you take


    me as an idiot?”


    Waverly tried tugging her again, but Bailey remained fixed in her spot. She then turned to Bailey and


    frowned. “Are you going to stand aside and watch your brother''s child die? He loves you so much, and


    his child is your nephew.”


    Bailey sneered. “Now you''re talking about family with me? Have you ever thought about how I felt when


    you rejected me?”


    “You—”


    Bailey slowly pulled her arm out from her grasp and uttered, “If I am to go to the Shurmer residence, it''s


    only for my brother, not you. You have Zoey, and you adore her. I''m guessing you won''t even care


    about my absence, so don''t make it seem like we''re that close. It''s absurd.”


    Bailey''s words hurt Waverly''s dignity, and rage filled her chest. However, the thought of how she


    needed Bailey to help Shirley keep the baby shed in her mind, so she forced herself to tamp down


    the fury.


    “Fine. Thene back to the Shurmer residence for your brother''s sake, not mine, because I clearly


    can''t get you to go there.”


    Without sparing a nce at Waverly, Bailey walked past her toward the doorway.


    Waverly had to take in two deep breaths before she could suppress the wrath in her. She then followed


    Bailey out.


    ...


    Meanwhile, Sofie received news from Zoey about how Bailey was out of the medical base with


    Waverly. Zoey was asking her to hurry up and send her men to intercept and kill Bailey.


    Sofia answered her with an acknowledgment.


    Then, she called her subordinates, who were on standby, and made arrangements before quietly


    waiting for the results.


    Once Bailey was out of the picture, she would then be able to make Zoey Tarragon''s matriarch.


    Even though her daughter was not as smart as she thought she was, Zoey was still her only daughter.


    Sofie had returned to Hallsbay to help Zoey fulfill her dream, after all.


    As long as Zoey was Tarragon''s matriarch, her dream would be achievable.


    ...


    A fleet of cars slowly drove out of the medical base.


    When Waverly realized the grandiosity of the scene, she became annoyed.


    Am I hiring a doctor, or am I hiring the queen? What''s with the dramatic scene? Is Bailey trying to


    assert dominance?


    She then said to Bailey in an irked tone, “The Shurmers have always kept a low profile. Take note of


    that. Don''t make it seem as if you''re a queen taking a tour around the country.”


    Bailey gave her a cold look, not at all bothered by the fact that the person receiving it was her biological


    mother.


    The point was Waverly never saw her as her biological daughter anyway.


    If not for Shirley''s baby, she would probably never agree to let Bailey return to the Shurmer family.


    What was the point of her showing respect to a mother like that?


    “You''re right. I''m no queen because I have no family. I''m but an orphan, so how can I possibly be a


    queen? Fortunately, I married a good man. I hope you remember that I''m the matriarch of the top

    prestigious family, the Luther family, right now. What''s wrong with the grand departure? I don''t think the


    glory my inws are showing me has anything to do with you, Mrs. Shurmer.”


    Waverly was rendered speechless, and her expression darkened.


    That was the truth, so there was nothing she could say to that.


    After a sigh, Zeke started, “It''s dangerous for Bay to go outside right now. If you''re not here in person,


    she wouldn''t have stepped out of the medical base. If we don''t assign men to protect her, we''ll all be in


    mortal danger. There are simply too many people trying to kill her.”


    Waverly narrowed her eyes.


    She did not know Bailey''s real identity—the Saviors'' leader.


    Therefore, even if she had heard that the head of Tarragon had put out a kill order on the Saviors''


    leader, she would still not think that it was Bailey. She would assume that her son was merely


    exaggerating.


    “What kind of danger could she be face? She''s not the leader of a country or something along those


    lines. At the end of the day, she just fears death too much.”
