Suddenly There Are Three (Bailey and Artemis) novel Chapter 646

Chapter 646 Steal The Limelight

With a half smile on her face, Bailey lifted her brow at Raiden at the medical base beside the artificial lake. “Are you a winged creature? You were at Dellmoor last night. How are you here in Hallsbay now?”

Raiden laughed upon hearing Bailey's sarcastic remarks. He teased, “I have no choice, as I have someone I love here. No matter where I go, I will always miss this place.”

Bailey rolled her eyes at his response.

Straightforward as he is, Raiden didn't bother to phrase his words more tactfully. I guess he doesn't care whether I can take it or not.

Bailey glared at Raiden and changed the subject. “I heard something happened to your dad. How is he now? Is he okay?”

Sloan was an important leader, and his safety was the priority. If anything happened to him, it would shock the nation.

Raiden's smile slowly vanished after hearing the mention of Sloan's name. “He fell sick abruptly because he was under so much pressure, and it overburdened his body. Although he can still hold on, his condition is deteriorating.”

He continued, “As my dad had just gotten into power, he had many things that he wanted to achieve. He would never listen to our advice to put everything behind him and rest at home. Ultimately, I think his body will only get weaker from working through the day and night.”

Bailey nodded. “Maybe find ways to relieve his stress levels? Since the power transfer had been done, and everything is going according to plan, he does not have to spread himself thin now.”

Raiden smiled bitterly, shaking his head. “I won't have to worry about him so much if he would listen to my advice! Anyway, I want to hire a hypnotist to help him relax and destress.”

Bailey arched her brow upon hearing what he said. She realized why Raiden was in Hallsbay.

He must be here for me. And why so? I think I have guessed it.

“Hypnotist? That's too risky. You and I both know how an internationally famous top-tier hypnotist can establish a mental bridge to communicate with their patients. Mr. Fletcher's mind is full of the country's confidential information. If an ill-intentioned outsider manages to decrypt the essential information in his brain, the consequences would be devastating!”

Raiden smiled.

Hey, why is she so direct? I can't keep her in suspense after she said that.

“So I take it that you guessed my purpose of looking for you here. I shall not keep you guessing, you wise woman. Bailey, I want to know the whereabouts of the best hypnotist, Ethereal. Can you tell me where she is?”

Bailey eyed Raiden with a half smile. She raised her brow. “Why are you sure that Ethereal won't steal confidential information stored in your dad's brain? You don't know her, so why do you trust her? It's hard to tell what a person is thinking. Moreover, she is a stranger with a strange personality. This may be a bad idea as it is very risky. I would advise you to get rid of that thought right now. Don't cause any trouble!”

Raiden gave her a side-eye as he smiled faintly. “Why? Are you scared that you will be implicated in this matter if anything goes wrong? Are you afraid that we will find trouble with you if Ethereal steals the confidential information in my dad's mind?”

Bailey rolled her eyes in response.

He shook his head. “I've got to go visit Scarlett next.”

Realization dawned on Bailey.

Oh, I guess she had already done IVF? Maybe she is waiting for the right time to hold Justin responsible for her pregnancy. Judging by how snobbish Mrs. Xuereb is, she will definitely ask Scarlett to stay at the Xuereb residence and force Justin to marry her.

Gosh. How pathetic! Scarlett has become another version of Shirley! With her title as Lady Scarlett, a great future awaits her if she can put her obsession behind her. Scarlett ruined her advantages by compulsively going after something she shouldn't be seeking for! I can already imagine her tragic end. Yet, I don't pity her at all.

At the hotel, sympathy filled Raiden as he stood at the suite entrance, narrowing his eyes at Scarlett, who looked all skin and bones.

Oh my! What happened to Lady Scarlett, who came from a wealthy, prestigious family? Why must she torture herself for a man who doesn't love her?

“Dad is sick. Are you going to return to Dellmoor with me or not?”

A glint flashed across Scarlett's eyes. She gritted her teeth. “Will I be safe if I head back? Won't you send me to jail then?”

Raiden shook his head. “You harmed others because of your selfishness, and I can't forgive you on behalf of those victims, so I will still send you to the court for justice!”
