Chapter 711 Promise To Obey Me
Zain shrugged his shoulders.
“I had wanted to go see her, but she and her man were... Since it wasn''t convenient, there was no point
in me courting trouble.”
Veronique let out a chuckle before giving him an intent look. “Thank you, Mr. Bryne. I''ll give your
suggestion due consideration. It''s just that seeking the Yablon family''s assistance might not be easy.
I''m not confident in convincing Mr. Yablon.”
Cocking a brow, Zain reminded her, “Bailey is someone extremely resourceful and well-connected. You
can get her to help you. For your sake, I''m sure she''ll storm over there and drag Cameron out.”
With that, he made his way to the door and added, “In the meantime, I''ll continue researching the
cancer cells and find apound that will be capable of counterbncing it. Once you have made
your decision,e see me at theb. You guys should focus on getting Cameron; I''ll take care of the
rest.”
“All right. Thank you.”
After watching Zain''s silhouette disappear, Justin narrowed his eyes at Veronique as he asked, “Are
you really going to do this?”
Veronique responded with a wry smile. “Justin, the chances of survival are seventy percent. Why
shouldn''t I go along with it? Am I supposed to ept death just like that?”
Justin was at a loss for words.
At the outdoor grounds of the medical base the next day, Bailey and Shannon were giving each other a
farewell hug.
“Take good care of yourself. I pray that once you''re fully recovered, you''ll finally enjoy peace for the rest
of your days.”
“Mmm-hmm. You too. No matter where you go after leaving Tarragon, remember to give me a call.
Don''t forget that you have a friend here in Hallsbay who''ll always miss you.”
Raising her gaze, Shannon kept her tears at bay as she replied in a choked voice, “I will. Regardless of
where I am, I''ll never forget you.”
With that, she gently nudged Bailey away before heading into the flight terminal.
Just as he passed Bailey by, Holden stopped in his tracks and gave her a nod. “I''ll be leaving Wendy
and her son in your care while I''m gone. I''ll return immediately once I''ve dealt with Shannon''s affairs.”
Bailey cocked a brow as she teased, “I''ll keep an eye on them only if you promise to do whatever I say
going forward.”
While Holden was rendered speechless, Artemis threaded his arm around her waist. “Stop trying to
make fun of him.”
Bailey then shed a cheeky smile at Holden. "What are you waiting for? If you don''t agree, I''ll kick her
out.”
Left without a choice, Holden bowed with a wry smile. “Fine. Just take care of them while I''m gone.”
His acquiescence triggered a triumphantugh from her. “That''s more like it. As long as she stays in
the medical base and behaves, no one willy a finger on her.”
Thereafter, Holden uttered a word of thanks before departing on hisjourney.
Once he was gone, Bailey wrapped her arms around Artemis'' neck and looked up at him. “Take good
care of yourself. I promise you that I won''t leave home for no good reason and will focus on looking
after the children. While I''m at it, I''ll take good care of myself.”
Artemis responded by pinching her on the cheeks. “You shouldn''t leave home even if it''s important. Get
one of our subordinates to take care of it. I''ll be gone for half a month at the longest and a week at the
shortest. I hope to see the glow return to your face once I''m back.”
“Okay. Go on now.”
After adjusting Bailey''s mink coat for her, Artemis turned to Zeke. “Please take good care of her. I''ll buy
you a drink when I''m back.”
Zeke shed a grin at him. “This will be thest time. Keeping an eye on her is such a pain.”
Bailey kicked him in jest. “Why are youining? You should be honored to have such a capable
sister.”
Meanwhile, several small figures came up to them in the snow.
After releasing Bailey, Artemis leaned down to catch the little girl that threw herself at him.
“Daddy, since you''re the leader of Tarragon, does that make me, your daughter, the princess?”
Artemis gave her forehead a peck before exining softly, “It doesn''t matter if you''re the princess of
Tarragon, as no one can change the fact that you''re a princess of the Luther family. I''ll be going away
on business for a while, but once I return, I''ll take you somece fun."
Amidst a soft sniffle, Susan leaned in and whispered into his ear, “If you break your promise, I''ll get
Daddy Eddy to marry Mommy.”
Artemis couldn''t hold back hisughter. “You''re such a cheeky girl.”
After cing his daughter in Zeke''s arms, Artemis turned toward Maxton and Zayron. “Take good care
of your mommy and sister.”
Zayron mumbled, “She should be counting her blessings when I''m not causing any trouble. Watching
over her is just too much to ask.”
Maxton subsequently added, “She has already cleared out all the viins in the city. Considering how
strong she is in battle, she doesn''t need us to keep an eye on her at all. Instead, I''m worried about my
future wife. Bailey''s aggressive demeanor will definitely spark conflict with her daughter-inw.”
The words caused Bailey to kneel down abruptly and hurl snowballs at her sons.
“You naughty boys, are you looking for trouble?”
“Come on! I dare you!”
Upon exchanging a quick nce, the brothers began to flee.
Cognizant that they were just trying to cheer her up, she yed along with them by giving chase.
After giving his daughter''s hair a tousle, Artemis said to Zeke, “I''m boarding the flight now. Stay in
touch.”
“Got it.”

Inside the ward, Wendy watched the private jet take flight from the window. As it soared above the
clouds, a sense of mncholy descended upon her.
It seems that the organization is more important to him than his family. Now that he has gone off
despite my grievous injuries, it''s clear to me how important I am to him. Holden, I don''t want a love
that''s born out of sympathy. Back then, you mode a cruel decision to leave both of us, putting us in
harm''s way. And now, you''re abandoning us again, forcing us to hopelessly wait for your return. I... I no
longer want to do so. That''s why we should go our separate ways.
After watching the ne fade into the clouds, Bailey led the children back to the wards.
She ran into Justin the moment she stepped into the lobby.
“Justin, is Vero awake?”
“Yes, she is.”
When Bailey noticed the fruits he was holding, she figured that he had bought them for Veronique. “I''ll
go with you to her room.”
“Sure. Coincidentally, there''s something I want to speak to you about.”
With that, both of them chatted as they walked.
Justin rted Zain''s proposal to her. “Do you think this n will work?"
The idea was to counter the cancer with cancer while having the process elerated with poison.
Upon hearing the question, Bailey stopped in her tracks. “I''ll drop by theb first and ask Zain about it.
I''ll join you in the ward after that.”
“Okay. If the n is feasible, we''ll have to trouble you to convince the heir of the family, Cameron
Yablon, to help us.”
The Yablon family?
Bailey''s brows furrowed.
The formtion of Soul Reaper—a poison no one can neutralize—is a testament to the Yablon family''s
unmatched skill in making poisons. Getting involved with them doesn''t benefit us in any way. Instead, it
will bring nothing but disaster.
Even though Bailey could neutralize hundreds of poisons, Soul Reaper was one that was too difficult
even for her.
If anyone close to her were poisoned by it, she could only helplessly watch them die.
“Let me think about it. If that''s the only way of saving Vero, we''ll have no choice but to get them
involved.”
