Female Novel
Chapter 772
At the end of the corridor, Bailey bumped into Zeke, who was walking toward her. She couldn't maintainher balance and kept stepping back. Upon seeing this, Zeke quickly reached out and grabbed her arm.
“Bay, you're almost thirty, why are you in such a hurry? What happened?” he asked worriedly.
Once Bailey regained her balance, her emotions gradually settled, and she seemed to have figured itout all at once.
She couldn't help but burst into laughter and then said, “I was just being too anxious. I get worked upover every little thing that happens to him. It's fine now, Zeke. Did you need me for something?”
Zeke released her arm, a trace of worry flashing across his handsome face.
He attempted to ask, “I received news from Moranta that Juliana has fallen into a coma and is inimminent danger. I came here to ask you about your plans.”
After pondering for a moment, Bailey reassured him.
“You don't need to worry. They're just trying to force me out. Before I make a move, Julie will be safe. Ijust injected a toxin into Artemis earlier. If we counteract the poison with the toxin, we'll know theoutcome in the next few days. Just wait a little longer.”
Zeke chuckled and shook his head with a smile.
“That's your disciple, yet you're the one comforting me. What kind of strange situation is this?”
Bailey raised his eyebrows and teased, “She slept with you, making her the closest person to you inthis world, and I...”
Zeke waved his hand, interrupting her.
“All right, I can't argue with you. Let's end this topic here.”
“All right then, you go keep an eye on Artemis for me, and I'll go find Cameron. I have some questionsto ask him.” After saying that, Bailey turned around and ran. Zeke couldn't help but rub his forehead. novelbin
I must have owed this pair of adversaries in my previous life.
“Remember to keep Juliana's situation in mind. Whether she lives or not is entirely in your hands,”Zeke reminded.
“Don't worry, I'll take care of Juliana. I've been concerned about it all along. I even discussed it withArtemis,” Bailey reassured.
Zeke stayed silent. Bailey rushed to the laboratory, forcefully pushing open the glass door. She quicklywalked over to the equipment and abruptly grabbed Cameron by the collar.
“What did you put in that toxin? Why did Artemis fall asleep immediately after the injection?” shedemanded.
Cameron became furious and swatted her hand away, glaring at her as he said, “You heartless woman!I was worried that he couldn't withstand the attack of two toxins and would suffer unbearable pain. So I
added some powerful anesthetic to ease his pain. Have you ever seen a rival like me, who has such akind heart?” Bailey was taken aback.
An anesthetic? Just an anesthetic?
Seeing her skeptical expression, Cameron burst into laughter.
“Fine, I'm being pathetic, absolutely pathetic. I shouldn't have thought about his well-being, andshouldn't have used anesthetic. I should have let him suffer and die in excruciating pain. It would havebeen great, then there would be no one competing for my beloved.”
Bailey coughed lightly, awkwardly smiling to hide her embarrassment.
“Um, indeed I was too impulsive. I apologize,” she said.
Cameron snorted twice and said menacingly, “Remember what you promised me earlier. You have tolet me accompany you wherever you go for the next six months. If you dare to break that oath andleave me behind, I won't be responsible for the remaining treatment sessions.”
Bailey squinted her eyes slightly, a dangerous glint flashing in them.
“What do you mean by 'remaining treatment sessions'? You better explain that clearly to me,” shedemanded.
Cameron spread his palms and grinned wickedly.
“I'm not stupid. How could I possibly cleanse all the toxins in his body simultaneously? Once he's
completely detoxified, he'll turn against me immediately. I can't defeat him, and if you protect him, Iwon't have any chance to be with you.”
Bailey laughed out of frustration.
This jerk...
She reached out and grabbed the vessel on the table, making a gesture as if she was about to throw itat him.
If I guessed correctly, this should be the new toxin he had developed. A precious one indeed.
As expected, as soon as she raised the vessel, Cameron cried out.
“Bailey, please don't act impulsively. We can discuss things and find a solution together,” Cameronhurriedly pleaded.
Bailey coldly stared at him and asked deliberately, each word pronounced clearly, “Why do you insiston following me? Don't lie to me. Be honest and tell me. You should know that I'm not that easilyfooled.”
Over the years, this guy has never approached me, let alone clung to me like this. He suddenly actsout of character, so a hidden motive must exist.
“Speak up. Why are you following me?” she questioned.
A hint of hesitation flashed in Cameron's eyes as he watched Bailey raise the vessel, preparing to
smash it to the ground. Then, he hurriedly spoke up.
“By following you, I can find the traitor of the Yablon family.” Bailey's hand froze.
A traitor of the Yablon family? What does that have to do with me?
“Explain it clearly,” Bailey said sternly.
Cameron sighed softly and said leisurely, “Did Cadence die at your hands? He has a younger brotherwho has been hiding in the Yablon family. Recently, he stole Soul Reaper and fled.”
“He even stole away Encyclopedia of Poison that has been passed down for generations. I mustretrieve it; otherwise, if it's leaked, it will cause terror,” Cameron added.
Bailey stood upright, placing the vessel back on the table, a flicker of worry flashing through her mind.The Yablon family's Encyclopedia of Poison documented the recipes for hundreds of highly toxicsubstances.
If it were to be leaked, it could truly bring catastrophe. The power of those poisons was not inferior tothat of biochemical weapons.
“By following me, can you find Cadence's younger brother?” Bailey asked, seeking confirmation.
Cameron nodded.
“Kurt White has always respected his brother. When he learns that Cadence died at your hands, he willdefinitely seek revenge on you. I stay by your side not only to retrieve Encyclopedia of Poison but also
to protect you. Bailey, don't underestimate Kurt's poison-crafting skills. He is no less capable than me.”
Bailey was stunned for a moment, then chuckled softly.
“Cameron, thank you. I've always thought of you as my enemy because I disfigured your face. Youdon't know, over the years, what I've been most worried about is you suddenly showing up at mydoorstep. I'm afraid of you.” Cameron rolled his eyes.
“If I really wanted to hold you accountable, would you still be alive now?” Bailey shook her headearnestly.
“No. If you used poison on me secretly, I would be unable to guard against it.”
“So you have to let me follow you. Because if Kurt uses poison on you, you won't be able to defendyourself,” Cameron stated. Bailey couldn't help but laugh.
“Well, you shouldn't hold back either. Detoxification usually takes multiple treatments? This is the firsttime I've heard of it.”
Cameron snorted twice, showing his dissatisfaction with Artemis's opinions.
“If I completely detoxify that guy's toxins in one go, with his methods, he will definitely not let me followyou. No room for argument. That jerk is just that stubborn, refusing to be whitewashed,” Cameron said.Bailey chuckled.
Well, I admit that your analysis is correct.
“Suppose all the toxins in Artemis' body are completely detoxified, given his personality, he will kick youaway as far as possible,” Bailey said.
I'm speechless.
“Hmph, I'm not stupid either. Besides, don't say it out loud, but even if his body toxins need to becleaned, it's necessary for me to follow you. I guess he wouldn't dare to give you a hard time either.He's that cowardly,” Cameron said. Bailey grabbed the vessel from the table and smashed it hard onthe floor.
“Bailey, I'll be damned if I let you off!” Cameron yelled.
