Super Mommy and Her Triplets

Chapter 117

What plan?

A vicious smile grew on Beatrice's lips.

“Didn't she recently become the lead designer at Luther Group's headquarters? We'll start with her job, then. Don't worry. With Jessica helping us out, we have more than enough ways to ruin Bailey's reputation at work.”

At night, Bailey stepped out of the taxi and was about to return to her condominium when she spotted a familiar figure at the end of the street.

The sky was dark. The only lights around her were the scattered glow from the dim streetlights. Nevertheless, she still managed to see who it was with just one glance—Edmund Chivers.

Five days later, he had finally reappeared.

“Hello, it's been a while.” When she spoke, she tried her best to make herself sound calm.

Edmund had never thought that she would greet him in the same way she usually would, so he froze in his spot.

Bailey walked over and smiled while waving her hand in front of him. “Snap back to your senses. What if a ghost comes and steals your soul while you're in a daze?”

“You...” Edmund couldn't refrain from laughing. “You're you indeed. No matter how serious something is, it never seems to affect you.”

Is that so?

Bailey only smiled and shook her head.

Nothing else in the world seemed to matter as much anymore since she had experienced losing a child.

“Without me, Edmund, you're still you; you're still the gentle, polite, and graceful son of the Chivers family. It's a fact that there's no such thing as not being able to live on without someone.”

“No,” Edmund said hoarsely, grabbing her shoulders. “Bay, I've spent five days suppressing the overwhelming feelings in me, but my past few days of living like a walking dead have told me that my life is colorless without you. I feel empty.”

Bailey narrowed her eyes and cried out in fury, “Edmund, ask yourself. Am I worthy of you?” This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

A pained expression came over Edmund's face. “I love you, so everything about you is good to me, and I think you are worthy of me in every aspect.”

“What about Simon? He's your cousin, and now the whole world knows that I gave birth to two of his children. How are you planning to cross this moral line and marry me?”

Her words were like a dagger stabbing Edmund's heart.

He slowly closed his eyes, seemingly mustering the courage to do something. A long while of silence

later, he took in a deep breath as if he had made up his mind.

The moment he opened his eyes, he pulled her into his arms and held her tightly. At the same time, he whispered into her ear, “Simon has a girlfriend, and he doesn't intend to marry you. Bay, let's go back to Archulea soon, okay? Let's give each other a chance and give me a way out of this. Can we do that?”

Bailey could not bring herself to reject him out loud, as Edmund had humbled himself so much for her.

Even if she did, she could not give him an outright rejection, for that would destroy him.

“All right. I'll try to settle my matters in Hallsbay as soon as possible. We'll go back to Archulea after that, and if we're fated to be, we'll talk about our future.”

Indeed, Bailey had been thinking about going back to Archulea. Artemis was too interested in her, and to avoid causing a scandal and hurting her children, she had no choice but to choose to leave Hallsbay.

“Really?” Edmund tightened his hug. “Are you really willing to go back to Archulea?”

Amused, Bailey sighed and said, “Edmund, my social circle is in Archulea. Going back is just a matter of time. Don't assume that I've given you many things; these are nothing in comparison with how you saved my life back then.”

With that, she pushed him away before grabbing his arm and towing him into the residential area. “It's cold out here. Let's continue our talk inside.”

Edmund was still processing the joyous news, so he made no attempt to stop her as she dragged him upstairs.

In the condominium, Zayron and Susan were huddled up on the couch, watching television.

When they saw their mother bringing Edmund into the house, they jumped off the couch.

“Daddy Eddy!”

“Daddy Eddy!”

Bailey could sense their delight. She guessed that her children really saw Edmund as their own father.

Edmund pushed Bailey away before hunching over to hug the child running toward him.

“Daddy Eddy, it's been five days since you've come to see me!” Susan complained as she planted a kiss on his cheek. “Don't worry, Daddy Eddy. You're the only one I'll call Daddy. No one else will be good enough for the name.”

A gentle and doting smile spread across Edmund's face. He leaned over to kiss her forehead and said, “Then I'll be your daddy forever.”

It was then Bailey cleared her throat and studied her surroundings. “Where's Max?”

Zayron huffed. “His grandma's people came to take him away. Apparently, his great-granddad has been diagnosed with a terminal illness, so he's—”

“Zayron,” Bailey interrupted before turning to Edmund. “The boy doesn't have a brain-to-mouth filter. Don't take his words to heart.”

“It's true that my grandpa has been diagnosed with a terminal illness,” Edmund said, dropping the smile as a worried look appeared in his eyes. “It's a malignant tumor, and no one dares to operate on him.”

Shock flickered past Bailey's eyes, but it soon disappeared. She frowned and asked, “Is it serious?”

“Yes. It's a malignant tumor in his central nervous system, and it's spreading toward his brain. It's very likely that it'll turn cancerous.”

Bailey's eyes widened.

A tumor on the central nervous system? It's that bad?

“It's in a perilous location, so it's definitely a tough case. It seems that there's no one in the medical industry who can do this surgery because the survival chances for it is less than twenty percent. The ones who have done the operation are either dead or in a coma. Still, don't be too anxious. There's always hope.”

Edmund smiled and gazed at her. “You sound like you know medicine. You've managed to state the risks involved accurately without looking at his report.”

Bailey returned the smile. “It's just casual research when I'm free. Isn't the Revelle family, a family of doctors, specializing in this? Perhaps you can make a visit to the Revelles and find out if Old Mr. Revelle can do anything about it. After all, he has quite the reputation as a surgeon.”

“I've visited the Revelles, and Old Mr. Revelle has called his granddaughter. Ms. Veronique will be returning to the country in a few days' time.”

Bailey stiffened as the memory of Veronique's words to her echoed in her mind.

So she's coming back to treat Old Mr. Chivers.

“Ms. Veronique has inherited her surgical skills from her grandfather. She's the most brilliant individual among three generations of Revelle. With her there, everything should be fine, so be at ease.”

Despite his reassurances, Bailey still felt a little worried.

Three years ago, Veronique had been invited to Eskaria to perform a craniotomy for the king of Eskaria. However, in the end, she did not do the operation, for the king's tumor, too, had been on the central nervous system, and she had not dared to do it.

In the end, it was...

All Bailey could wish was that Veronique's skills had improved after three years and that she could complete the operation by herself.

“Bay, you've been overseas for many years. Have you heard of a woman named Anonymous?”
