Chapter 780
Holden glanced at Shannon from the corner of his eye, immediately understood the meaning behind it,and said, “I've asked you to come over, anyway. Whether you want to save him is up to you, and Iwouldn't dare to force you.” Bailey, shrugged, and turned to leave. novelbin
“Wait a moment.” Shannon stood up from her chair, walked over to Bailey with a smile, and said, “Iknow what's on your mind. Go and have a look at him. It's my request to you.”
Bailey stopped in her tracks, the corner of her lips turned into a smile. Although the girl was beingmischievous, it seemed that the desired effect had already been achieved.
She still hoped Shannon could have a good ending if possible because the latter had suffered toomuch over the years. And in this world, the only place she could truly belong was probably with Micah.So, Bailey hoped they could get back together and rebuild their relationship.
“What's wrong? Are you feeling sorry for him? I was actually thinking of crippling his arm to avenge thebroken arm you suffered years ago. Silly girl, you need to think carefully. Showing sympathy to a manis the greatest cruelty to yourself. Is it worth saving him?
Shannon smiled with a hint of bitterness and nodded, saying, “My broken arm is not his fault. Bailey,you are a doctor. Today, I plead with you. Please save his arm.”
With that, she stepped back and inclined her head at Bailey. The latter held back her laughter andpretended to be serious.
“All right, I'll do you a favor today. Since you're pleading for him, I'll go in and take a look.”
Words fled Shannon. She couldn't help but smile. They had gone to great lengths to force her to faceher true feelings. After watching Bailey enter the emergency treatment room, Shannon slowly turnedher head to look at her brother.
Holden touched his nose, his intuition telling him that something was amiss. It seemed his youngersister was planning to settle the score with him after the incident.
“Shannon, I have some matters to attend to. It seems the surgery won't be finished anytime soon. Youwait here, and I'll return after I've taken care of those matters.”
As the words fell, he turned around and hurriedly left. Shannon couldn't help but chuckle, slowlylowering her head and her gaze falling on her blood-stained hand. All those blood was Micah's.
Even though she was the one trapped in danger, and it should have been her who got hurt and bled. Inthe end, she was safe and sound in his embrace while he was facing a life-or-death situation now.
Fortunately, the bite was on his right shoulder; his heart might have been pierced if it had been on theleft. That man still loved her as dearly as he always had. It was precisely because he loved her somuch that he was afraid of losing her.
Back then, he would rather be hated by her than let her die. So, he resorted to an almost humiliatingmethod, cutting off one of her arms to save her life. It was hard to say whether such a wildly obsessivelove was a blessing or a curse for her.
However, the experiences of the past few years showed her that the love he brought only leads toheartbreak and despair. Meanwhile, on the other side, Artemis passed the utensils to Henley inside the
laboratory of the latter's residence.
“Master Lynch, Bay has lost most of her memories. Is this really not going to impact her brain nerves?”
Henley snorted coldly and fumed, “That's the memory loss pill I developed. Without fearing death, sheuses hypnosis to counteract it, forcibly imprinting you in her mind. In the end, she managed to breakfree from the drug's effects. How could she not experience memory loss? It's impressive that shedoesn't experience any mental confusion, as she might have become completely mad and hysterical ifit had been more severe.”
Artemis sighed softly.
“I didn't expect her to be so stubborn. Before she passed out, she unconsciously activated thehypnosis, imprinting me in her mind and forcefully breaking the effects of the memory loss pill. MasterLynch, please be free with your words. Will this impact her brain, and her memory becomes blurred astime passes? Then, eventually, she would forget me completely?”
Henley sneered coldly and scolded, “It's your own fault for being foolish and giving her the memory losspill. Now that you've court disaster, who do you expect to clean it up for you? Face the consequencesof your actions, then!”
With that, he raised his hand and began to shoo him away.
Artemis rubbed his forehead and lowered his head deeply before Henley, pleading, “Please enlightenme, Master Lynch.”
“How and what to enlighten you? I can't help with this one. Let me make myself clear. This is the first
time I've encountered such a situation, and I have no experience. She is the first person who doesn'tlose her memory after taking the memory loss pill I developed, and I've never encountered such asituation before. Therefore, there is no use in asking me for a solution. We can only observe for a whilelonger and see. Hopefully, she'll have good luck. Otherwise, the situation you just mentioned mightreally happen – her memories become blurry until she forgets all the people and events in her life.”
Artemis' heart sank. So, Henley meant that there was a possibility that Bailey would lost her memory.She could still remember him temporarily because of the lingering effects of hypnosis. Once thelingering effects subsided, her mind gradually became blurry, and she might really forget him.
Ha! So, this is so-called shooting oneself in the foot, huh? It would be my own doing if she truly forgotme one day.
“Master Lynch, is there really no way to break the effects of this memory loss pill?”
Without a second thought, Henley replied immediately, “Yes.”
Artemis was delighted and was about to ask when Henley added, “But it's useless for that girl.”
Artemis looked at him with confusion.
“Why? Is it because she's unconventional, so she's special?”
“It's because she stubbornly fought against the effects of the pill, which is why the antidote didn't workon her. If only she had obediently given in and lost her memory from the start and didn't cause anytrouble, her memory would be restored immediately if I give her the antidote now. But the problem is
she tried to act smart and used hypnosis to resist. In that case, I'm sorry. She doesn't deserve theantidote.”
Artemis was utterly speechless.
He slumped dejectedly onto the couch and sighed.
“It's fate, I guess. Let nature take its course, then.”
On Hallsbay suburban tree-lined avenue, several sedans parked by the roadside. In the back seat ofone of the cars, a noblewoman was observing the situation ahead with a pair of binoculars.
“Are you sure that kiddo is at Revelle residence?” she asked.
“Mrs. Xuereb, rest assured, I have confirmed that Mr. Revelle had someone bring his young grandsonto his house at noon. It's almost evening now, so I guess he should be leaving Revelle residence soon.We'll definitely be able to block him here.”
Olivia suddenly gripped the binoculars tightly in her hand.
It's now or never. Zephyr usually doesn't go out, but it is Old Mr. Revelle's birthday today, so he madean exception and left the medical base. In other words, if I want to leave a trace of the medicine on him,today is the best and the only opportunity.
Beep!
The walkie-talkie sounded. In the next moment, a respectful voice came through the walkie-talkie.
“Boss, Mr. Zephyr has already left the mansion of Revelle residence by car. He should arrive at yourplace in about ten minutes.”
“All right, got it,” the leader of the bodyguards in the passenger seat responded and then turned toOlivia, saying,
“Mrs. Xuereb, he will arrive shortly.”
