Chapter 613 Has She Lost The Baby
A glint of hope flashed across Bailey's eyes. Oh, is that so?
Seeing that she was gradually calming down, Edmund breathed a sigh of relief. “So you ought to cooperate with
him now and see if you can lure out the person who's been secretly plotting against you this whole time.”
“I think Edmund's right,” Zeke chimed in. “Bay, you can't lose your head over this matter.”
Bailey pursed her lips and nodded. “All right. I shall wait and see if that troublemaker will make a move. Thanks,
guys. If you hadn't helped talk sense into me, I'd have made some rather impulsive decisions.”
At the very least, she knew she could take a breather since the spies in Tarragon headquarters had informed them
that Artemis was no longer in danger.
So what if he had really lost his memories? As long as he was safe, Bailey could always help him recover his
memories.
The most important thing right now was to find out who had been scheming behind her back. After all, the only way
to bring peace and calm into their lives was to catch the culprit.
Besides, Artemis' memory loss might not necessarily be a bad thing. As far as Dominic and the others were
concerned, they'd think they had Artemis under control and spare him for the time being.
If Artemis hadn't lost his memories, there was no doubt he'd be facing countless dangers.
As a wise man once said, it is easy to dodge an open attack but difficult to defend against a concealed one. With
Artemis' memories gone, no one had to be afraid of or guard against him any longer. Naturally, that meant he was
safe.
Meanwhile, at the Shurmer residence, two maids were whispering among themselves in the garden.
“Word has it that Sammy kept pestering Ms. Gourd because Mr. Zeke instructed her to.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“Oh, dear. Is that true? Ms. Gourd is carrying Mr. Zeke's baby, for goodness' sake. How could he tell Sammy to
create an accident to cause a miscarriage?”
“I guess Mr. Zeke just can't stand the sight of her, so he doesn't care about the baby either. Why else would he want
to get rid of it?”
“Oh, how tragic and pitiful. Since Ms. Gourd confirmed her pregnancy, Mr. Zeke hadn't been home once to see her.
He didn't even show up when she almost miscarried previously. I think you're right. Not only does Mr. Zeke not like
her, but he also doesn't want a baby with her.”
“Exactly. Most people will leap for joy when they hear they're becoming a father and wish they could spend every
moment with their wives. Mr. Zeke, however, doesn't even want to come home these days. There are also rumors
that he's moving out soon.”
“Gosh! I feel so sad for Ms. Gourd. She hasn't officially married Mr. Zeke and already has to spend her time here
alone.”
“Indeed... What a pity that fall didn't cause her to have a miscarriage.”
“Fret not. Now that we know Mr. Zeke wants to get rid of the child, I'm sure he'll have other tricks up his sleeve. I
daresay he'd do anything to succeed.”
“Oh, I agree.”
The maids happened to be standing directly under Shirley's bedroom, but even though they had lowered their
voices, the latter could still hear them clearly from the bathroom.
Shirley sat on the toilet, gripping a wad of tissue as she felt an intense mix of anger, grief, and resentment bubbling
to the surface.
She wasn't sure if she had been overly agitated and pulled something in her abdomen, but it wasn't long before a
stabbing pain spread throughout her body.
After struggling to get up from the toilet, Shirley clutched her stomach and walked out of the bathroom.
Alas, just as she was about to shout for the maids outside her room, another jolt of excruciating pain caused her to
double over and crumple to the floor.
Thankfully, the loud thud caught the attention of the maids.
When two maids finally burst the door open and saw Shirley curled up on the floor, their faces instantly darkened.
“Inform Mrs. Shurmer at once and call for the doctor!”
“Okay, okay.”
Within seconds, the entire Shurmer residence descended into panic.
At the back entrance of the mansion, the two maids who had been gossiping in the garden quietly slipped away.
“Is everything done?” Zoey asked.
As it turned out, she had hired the two women to pose as maids and hold the conversation outside Shirley's
bedroom window.
One of the women hastily nodded. “Don't worry, Ms. Shurmer. We did everything as you said, and I'm sure our
target heard every word of our exchange. When we came out earlier, there was chaos in the entire mansion.
Someone was running to get Mrs. Shurmer while others called for the doctor. From the looks of it, something
must've happened to the pregnant lady because she got too emotional.”
“Good. You guys have done well. Mission accomplished,” Zoey said smilingly before fishing out a card from her
pocket. “There's a stored value of six hundred thousand in this card, and the password is six sixes... Remember to
keep this a secret. If the two of you divulge any information, I'll end your lives immediately. Understood?”
The two women were street thugs who knew what it took to survive, so naturally, they wouldn't dare spill the beans.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Yes, yes. We'll keep it a secret. We promise.”
“That's right!”
Zoey smiled.
Ha. Soon, I'll be able to carry out my plan...
Back in the guest room, several doctors looked grim and sullen as they did everything they could to treat Shirley.
“How is it?” Waverly asked anxiously. “Can you save my precious grandchild?”
The chief physician shook his head dejectedly. “I'm afraid it'd be difficult, Mrs. Shurmer. Ms. Gourd had suffered
some abdominal trauma previously, and now that it's happened again, there's nothing we can do.”
Waverly's face instantly fell. “Is there really no other way? Are you sure we can't save the baby?”
Once again, the chief physician shook his head and sighed. “There's only so much I can do, Mrs. Shurmer. Best to
brace yourself for the inevitable.”
Before Waverly could say anything more, Zoey suddenly rushed into the room.
“Mom, what happened? I heard Shirley had fallen again. Is the baby all right?” she asked as she glanced at the bed.
The next second, she let out a scream.
“Oh, my goodness! Why is she bleeding so much again? Has she lost the baby?”
Feeling even more upset, Waverly gritted her teeth and grabbed the chief physician's wrist. “You have to save her
baby. Otherwise, you can get the hell out of here! The Shurmer family doesn't care for useless trash!”
“You're putting me in a spot, Mrs. Shurmer. I really can't save her baby. You can threaten to kill me all you want, but
I still won't be able to change a thing,” the chief physician replied solemnly.
With a glint in her eye, Zoey lowered her head.
This is it. I'm going to make Bailey tackle this problem.
“Stop making things difficult for them, Mom. Their abilities are limited, so what's the point of forcing them? Instead
of arguing about it here, why don't we look for other solutions?”
