Super Mommy and Her Triplets

Chapter 810

Bailey clicked her tongue. It was obvious. If she wasn't going, there would be no reason for her to be there arguing with him for so long.

“Zeke...”

As she elongated the tone of her voice to call out to him, she reached out and shook his arm, saying, “I'll be fine. You don't need to worry. Currently, this seems to be the only viable solution. If we don't take a gamble, how else can we bring an end to all of this? How can we save your wife?”

Zeke's complexion still didn't look good. After gently prying open her fingers, he slumped back onto the couch, completely drained of energy.

“Do you know what the most helpless feeling in the world is? It's knowing that danger lies ahead yet still having to send your loved ones right into it. You've been through so much hardship over the years, including not having a single happy day even after we reunited with each other. My heart aches for you.”

Bailey walked over, leaning her head on his shoulder, and said leisurely, “It's precisely because of this that I need to hasten my steps to put an end to all of this. The longer we delay, the more days we'll spend in fear. Our enemies are hidden while we are exposed. If we don't act quickly to eliminate them, there's no telling who might get hurt because of it.”

Zeke remained silent, not saying a word. He understood those principles, but knowing them and accepting them were two different things altogether.

Artemis waved his hand toward Bailey and whispered, “Let's step outside first and give Zeke some time

to think things through.”

Hearing that, Bailey got up and walked toward the door. After leaving the study, Artemis led her back to the bedroom.

“Bay, I have a suggestion, but I'm not sure if it's feasible.”

Bailey tilted her head and looked at him, raising an eyebrow.

“I can already tell it's not going to be a good suggestion. If you say it, I'm sure it will make me angry. If it's too serious, it might cause my aversion and make me completely irritated. So, let's not talk about it, as it might affect our relationship.”

Artemis couldn't help but laugh, reaching out to tap her forehead gently.

“You're just too rational. People always say that extreme wisdom can be harmful, and I guess they're talking about someone like you. I know that my suggestion will probably make you angry and maybe even repulse you, but I have to say it because I love you, and I don't want you to take this risk.”

Bailey slowly retracted the smile on her face and narrowed her eyes as she looked at him, as if trying to see his most genuine thoughts through his dark pupils.

After observing for a moment, she sadly realized that if he was willing to let her probe his thoughts, then she would indeed be able to discern them. If he were unwilling, no matter how keen her observation skills were, she still wouldn't be able to see through him.

“All right, go ahead and tell me. I'm curious to hear what kind of trouble you're planning to get into.” Artemis nodded and said,

“Aren't you an expert in disguise? I want to find someone to replace you and attend the meeting. In this way...”

Suddenly, a slapping sound could be heard. Bailey slapped him across the face. Although it wasn't a powerful blow, it was enough to strip a man of his dignity.

In the whole world, only Bailey had the ability to slap that powerful man. Only she had the audacity and courage to do something like that.

Artemis couldn't help but let out a bitter smile. He knew she would get angry and even lose her temper. Indeed, that was the case. Although she appeared to be cold and distant on the surface, she was actually very kind-hearted deep down.

She could never bring herself to let someone else die or face danger in her place. Bailey stared at him coldly and enunciated, “If we disregard human lives, how are we any different from those unforgivable people in the outside world? Find someone to replace me in the trade? Ha! I can't believe you came up with that idea. If she's recognized, she'll undoubtedly die. If she's not recognized, falling into Tucker's hands would still mean death. You're just creating trouble. Artemis, I can't agree to that because I don't want to watch someone die for me. I am not great enough to bear the weight of a precious life.”

Artemis rubbed his temple and piped up in a hoarse voice, “Don't get angry first. Listen to me until the end. The people that I found are suicide attackers trained by Tarragon. Their lives had long been devoted to the organization, and they were always prepared to make sacrifices for it. I believe that the Saviors must have nurtured a group of such special agents as well. As for the reasoning behind this, I

won't go into detail with you. Whether you agree or not, you have to accept it. You cannot attend the appointment tonight. If it were before, when your health was in perfect condition, I might have let you take this risk. But now, no matter what you say, I won't agree to it.”

After hearing that, Bailey couldn't help but laugh out of frustration.

So, he has been brushing me off these past few days?

“Even if you don't agree, it's useless. I won't make a fake mask for you. In the entire world, I am the only one who is proficient in disguise skill and can create a mask that is indistinguishable from the real thing. If I don't make a mask for you, you won't be able to find someone else to replace me. Artemis, I advise you to be kinder and not have no regard for other people's lives, or else I'll really get angry.”

Artemis smiled without saying a word, completely unaffected by her remarks. When Bailey saw that he was calm and composed, her heart sank.

“Did you search my disguise box and take a mask from there?” Inside the box were many masks with different appearances, including one of her own.

The next moment, Artemis reached out and wrapped his hand around her waist, pushing her onto the bed.

“From the moment Kurt sent you a message inviting you to meet, I've decided to have someone else take your place. The reason I've been brushing you off these past couple of days is to get the mask. I've already made all the necessary arrangements. Get some sleep, and tomorrow morning, you'll get the enhancer.”

Frustrated, Bailey reached out and grabbed the corner of his clothes tightly. She was furious and wanted to curse out loud, but a wave of dizziness washed over her mind.

Thinking back to the warm water she drank when she first entered the room, she couldn't help but laugh again. There was a stupefying drug in the water.

“Artemis, if you dare to go to that appointment behind my back, I'll kill you.”

She was anxious. At that critical moment, she didn't have the energy to investigate his unilateral and unauthorized decision to find a substitute, as well as the incident regarding the stupefying drug.

The only thought in her mind at that very moment was that she couldn't let him take any risks.

“Artemis, if I don't see you tomorrow morning, I will never speak to you again. I'll go to the Yablon residence with Cameron and become the Yablon family's matriarch, or I'll find Raiden and become the madam of the Fletcher family.”

As she spoke, her eyelids slowly closed.

At the moment her consciousness completely faded away, she whispered her final words, “Artemis, one heart-wrenching experience is more than enough. Don't make me go through it again. Please don't leave me.”

Artemis looked at the woman, who had fallen into a deep sleep, and sighed silently. He gently bent down and kissed her forehead, then reached out to pry open her fingers.

Although she had fallen into a deep sleep, she still subconsciously clung tightly to the corner of his clothes.

He knew she was afraid of him going to the appointment alone, afraid that she wouldn't see him when she woke up in the morning.

“Bay, let go of me. I promise I won't take any risks. It's getting late, and I still have some things I need to tend to. Please be good and release your hold on me, okay?”
