Chapter 849


    Chapter 849 Bailey Is Not Dead


    Bailey didn''t react immediately and nkly said, “What else could I''ve done it for? Thrill-seeking?”


    The moment she uttered the phrase “thrill-seeking,” she snapped to her senses and blushed. The older


    he gets, the more shameless he is!


    Artemis knew what she was thinking. With his deep, maic voice, he murmured, “It is about seeking


    thrills. With it, you''ll experience a different kind of pleasure.”


    Bailey felt as if something had exploded in her mind. This jerk. To think he managed toe up with


    that. Although, it is undeniable that having it does feel different.


    “Judging by your expression, it seems you agree with what I''ve said. My dear, I didn''t expect you to


    have such thoughts. In that case, what''s there for you to be shy about?”


    With a swift p, Bailey sent him flying back against the headboard. “Be serious. What do you think


    Sofie will do next?”


    Artemis blinked, a cunning glint shing in his eyes. “She will kill Tucker because Tucker is nning to


    take her son''s life. Of course, even if Tucker doesn''ty a finger on her son, she''ll never let him off the


    hook. With the death of Tucker, the only option left for Mr. Philip is to support her son''s ascension to


    power. Once her son bes the heir, she will not hesitate to kill Mr. Philip. That woman refuses to be


    mediocre. What she detests most is others suppressing her. Therefore, she will kill Mr. Philip and his


    son. After her son ascends to power, she''ll rule behind the curtain and manipte him, further


    controlling the entire Hoffman family.”


    Bailey nodded with a smile. “It''s just as I guessed. We should let them fight amongst themselves and


    stay out of the battle. Once they''ve worn each other down, we can step in and clean up the mess.”


    After she finished speaking, she prepared to stand up and pack up her medical kit. Suddenly, he pulled


    her arm.


    In the next moment, she leaned forward, falling directly into his arms. “Artemis, have you lost your


    mind? Your wounds haven''t healed yet.”


    “It''s fine. It''s just a minor injury,” assured Artemis.


    Bailey rolled her eyes before a mischievous glint appeared. “All right, then. You asked for this. Don''t


    me meter.”


    Seeing her so well-behaved, he was overjoyed.


    However, his good mood onlysted for thirty seconds because he smelled the scent of blood. Is she...


    having her period right now? “Bailey, you did this on purpose, didn''t you?”


    Bailey burst intoughter. “How can you say I did it on purpose? I had my period during the morning,


    okay?”


    Artemis extended his hand to push her away, pointing at the bedroom door. “Leave. Stop hanging


    around in front of me.”


    “Fine. I''ll just leave.”


    Bailey stepped away from his embrace and walked toward the door. As she walked, she said, “You


    should rest well. Once your wounds have healed, we can set off for Moranta to reap the benefits.”


    Shannon was gently supporting Micah in his garden as they stroll leisurely by the artificialke.


    After taking a few dozen steps, Micah casually asked, “Which city are you nning to take Dawn to live


    in?”


    Shannon fell into silence.


    Micah then said, “Even if you don''t tell me, I''ll still know. Why not chat with me? I may be able to give


    you...”


    “Pillere.” Shannon turned to him, her voice indifferent. “I likevender. I might go to Pillere and bathe in


    a sea of purple flowers.”


    Micah chuckled softly. The warm and peaceful purple kingdom is indeed a good ce to settle down.


    “It''s a nice ce. If I happen to pass by your house one afternoon, will you invite me in for a cup of


    afternoon tea?”


    An almost imperceptible smile appeared on Shannon''s countenance.


    Before she could speak, footsteps echoed from afar.


    Both of them instinctively turned around and saw Wendy leading Dawn toward them. “Mommy, Aunt


    Wendy is here to see you.”


    Wendy felt resigned upon hearing that. “Dawn, you should call me Ms. Wendy. Ms. Hoffman is fine,


    too.”


    Dawn blinked and grinned, saying, “Uncle Holden may get angry, though.”


    Shannon couldn''t help butugh out loud. “Yes, you should call her Aunt Wendy. Otherwise, your uncle


    will be unhappy.”


    Dawn shrugged at Wendy. “See? My mom says the same thing.”


    Wendy couldn''t help butugh too. Turning to Shannon, she said, “You''ve raised quite the dramatic


    daughter. Still, she''s quite likable.”


    Shannon released Micah''s arm and walked over to Wendy, embracing her and speaking in a low voice.


    “For Sebastian''s sake, you should try building aplete family. Besides, my brother is quite the catch,


    you know. He''s got a lot of high-profiledies on the international stage eyeing him. If you keep


    hesitating, someone else may seize the opportunity and snatch him away.”


    Reflexively, Wendy retorted, “What about you and Micah? Shouldn''t you also start a family to give


    Dawn aplete childhood?”


    “We are different, Wendy. There''s too much pain between us. We... Never mind that. Let''s leave


    everything up to fate. If it''s meant to be, we will meet again. After all, the world is a sphere. Who


    knows? Maybe after a full revolution, we may truly reunite.”


    Wendy smiled faintly. It seems she has found hope. In the past, every time Micah was mentioned,


    Shannon would adopt a cold demeanor. From her actions and behavior, one could see her hatred and


    anger. Now, when Micah is mentioned, she seems to be much more at peace. There''s no longer any


    malice in her eyes, only serenity. The future still holds promise.


    Inside a certain basement in Moranta, intermittent roars of anger and despair echoed in the darkness.


    Kurt looked at the woman in front of him, whose body was emanating a dark aura, and burst into hearty


    N?velDrama.Org (C) content.


    can''t cure! I''ve surpassed myself”


    Zoey was shackled to a steel pir by iron chains. Her skin had turned into a bloody mess. Yet, she


    continued to struggle with all her might as though she couldn''t feel pain.


    In reality, she was in agony.


    She felt as if millions of venomous snakes and insects were gnawing at her from head to toe. She


    could easily sense the poison seeping into her flesh and blood, bit by bit. “Ah...”


    When the pain became so unbearable that she couldn''t breathe, she contemted ending her life.


    Kurt noticed her intentions, but he didn''t stop her. Now that the poison test has been sessful, even if


    she dies, it won''t cause me any loss. When the timees, I can still achieve my goal by poisoning


    Cameron. “Zoey, are you really content to just die like this? Bailey has taken everything from you yet


    still lives a good life. By the way, the woman tormented by Tucker isn''t Bailey. We''ve all been fooled. In


    other words, your nemesis is still alive.”


    Zoey slowly rxed her teeth from her tongue. Her face contorted as she stared at Kurt. With a dry,


    hoarse voice, she asked, “Are you sure it''s not Bailey?”


    Kurt clicked his tongue twice, shaking his head, and said, “Yes. Bailey deceived Tucker using her


    disguise skill. Now that I have injected you with the most poisonous toxin in the world, you must make


    good use of it. Don''t waste such a valuable resource. Even if you can''t drag the whole world down with


    you, you should at least pull Bailey into hell, don''t you think?”
