Female Novel
Chapter 742
Artemis looked deeply into Bailey's eyes. He then slowly stood up and obediently walked towards thedoor. Bailey's nose tingled as tears uncontrollably fell from her eyes. Watching him leave the roomwithout looking back, she gritted her teeth and sprang up from the bed. Barefooted, she chargedtoward him.
“Artemis...” She suddenly hugged him tightly from behind. Burying her face in his back, she began tosob uncontrollably.
“How could you do this? Tell me, how could you do this?” As she spoke, she raised her fist and wasready to punch him. But then she remembered he had been poisoned and quickly pulled her handback. Her wailing suddenly grew louder. Artemis's body trembled gently.
After a moment of silence, he could no longer suppress the emotions in his heart. Abruptly, he turnedaround and pulled her into his embrace.
“How can you be so foolish? No, how can you be so clever? If you had just played dumb today, I couldhave gotten away with it. Then, you'll leave in disappointment, never to be burdened by me again.”
Bailey laid on his chest as she burst into tears.
“Artemis, you promised not to bully me but this time you've really gone too far. You jerk, you absolutejerk...”
“Yes, I'm a jerk for making you sad again. I'm a coward, who is afraid to let you know my situation.”
Upon hearing this, Bailey quickly pulled away from his embrace.
She hastily wiped away her tears and placed her hand on his wrist. After searching for a moment, sheshook her head and said, “I still can't detect anything unusual. No wonder people say that once you'reaffected by Soul Reaper, all you can do is wait helplessly...”
At this point, her words came to an abrupt halt, and she looked at Artemis somewhat awkwardly.
“I...”
Artemis reached out to cradle her face. He lowered his head to kiss her delicate brows and eyes,tenderly kissing away all the tears on her face.
“It's alright, no need to be overly cautious. We'll have to face it someday anyway.”
As he spoke, he put his arm around Bailey and walked toward the bed. After the two of them leanedagainst the head of the bed, he asked curiously, “How exactly did you notice something was wrong?”
Bailey coldly snorted twice and rested her head on Artemis' shoulder. Before the arrival of Tarragon,she would feel restless and uneasy. However, after Tarragon appeared, she miraculously found herrestless heart calming down.
“First, I found out that Soul Reaper from the Yablon family has gone missing. Second, Sofie must havekidnapped Wendy to blackmail Holden, proving that she has already dealt with you. If somethinghappens to you, Tarragon will only have Holden to rely on. And if Holden's wife is in Sofie's hands,wouldn't that mean she has control over his weakness?”
Bailey paused for a moment before continuing, “As for the third... I deliberately let Cameron know that Iwas coming to Tarragon Headquarters. If you two were in contact, he would definitely inform you.Knowing your character, you would undoubtedly put on a passionate show for me to see, making megive up on you completely. In fact, as soon as I arrived at the main hall and was stopped by Holdenoutside, I already knew what to expect.”
Artemis couldn't help but laugh.
“You're just too clever, Bailey. Do you know the saying 'extreme intelligence can lead to one'sdownfall'?” Bailey reached out and wrapped her arms around his neck.
Gazing at him affectionately, she said, “I've only used my wisdom on you because you've captured myheart, Artemis. It's not the end yet, so please don't give up, alright?
“Indeed, I told Cameron that I couldn't cure Soul Reaper but that doesn't mean I'll give up. If otherswere poisoned by Soul Reaper, I wouldn't even bat an eye, let alone go to great lengths to find a cure.But you're different; I'll use all my knowledge to find a way for you to survive.”
Artemis suddenly turned over, pinning her beneath him. Bailey was gentle as she began to make amove. A gleam flickered in Artemis' eyes. Unable to contain his emotions, he couldn't help but lean inand kissed her face.
The soft kiss wasn't enough to satisfy Bailey, so she tilted her head to seek his lips. Artemis quicklyraised his head, dodging her advance.
“Be careful, I have toxins inside me, don't touch me.”
Bailey cupped his face and reassured, “Don't worry, it won't be transmitted to others. This kind ofpoison only recognizes its original host. Once it takes effect within you, it won't be contagious.”
After saying that, she raised her head and kissed him. Artemis pursed his lips. After hesitating for a fewseconds, he eventually followed her wishes.
Before she arrived, he was determined to make her give up, no matter what methods he had to resortto. After she arrived, he could no longer bring himself to be cruel. Gazing at her picturesque features,all he wanted was to fall for her, even if it meant jumping into a pit of fire together.
As emotions ran high, Bailey couldn't help but murmured softly, “Artemis, I love you.”
Artemis wrapped his arms around her, leaning close to her ear, and gently coaxed, “Be a good girl andsay it one more time.”
“Artemis, I love you. Artemis, I love you. Artemis, I love you.”
“Bailey, I love you too.” novelbin
As the words fell, he used an even more profound way to love her deeply. In the dungeon of Holden'sresidence, Shannon stood at the entrance of a secret chamber as she coldly watched Yvette, who wason the verge of collapse from torment.
Shannon ordered, “Inject her with the nutrient solution and hang her life in the balance.”
Upon hearing this, the doctor standing nearby showed a troubled look on his face.
“Ms. Lewitt, she no longer has the will to live. Injecting more nutrient solution won't make anydifference.” Shannon slightly furrowed her brows. Looking at the blurry mass of flesh and blood on theground, her interest vanished in an instant.
Will the endless torment make all the sufferings I had endured disappear?
The answer is no.
After a moment of silence, she uttered a sentence through gritted teeth, “Send her on her way.”
The doctor understood what she meant and took out a potion from the medicine box. Just when he wasabout to walk toward Yvette, who was lying on the ground, Shannon spoke up.
“Give me the potion. I want to end her life myself.”
The doctor had no objections and quickly gave her the potion. After taking the syringe, Shannon pacedto the center of the secret chamber. She stopped in front of Yvette and slowly crouched down.
“Killing someone like you would only dirty my hands but I have no choice because your hands arestained with my son's blood.”
Yvette was still conscious. After hearing Shannon's words, the former slowly opened her eyes. Yvette'sdry, chapped lips moved as she spat out a series of hoarse, unpleasant sounds.
“Even if I die, the shadow of your son's death will haunt you for the rest of your life, tormenting you dayand night...”
Before Yvette could finish speaking, Shannon suddenly jabbed the syringe in her hand into Yvette'sarm. As the liquid inside was gradually injected into Yvette's flesh, Yvette began to convulse violently,even foaming at the mouth.
Yvette, this is the outcome you deserve.
Watching the woman rolling and convulsing on the ground, Shannon's vision gradually blurred, and hereyes became misted with tears.
Eugene, Mom has avenged you. Can you see it from heaven?
Upon hearing the news, Micah rushed over and saw Shannon had fallen deeply into a state ofmadness. Alarmed, he hurriedly approached, grabbed Shannon's shoulders, and shook her vigorously.
“Shannon, wake up! Wake up!”
A moment later, Shannon managed to break free from that strange state.
She fiercely grabbed Micah's collar and roared, “Yvette is dead, and now it's your turn.”
