Super Mommy and Her Triplets

Chapter 672 Knelt Down

Victoria opened her mouth to speak but hesitated.

She didn't know how to tell Bailey what she had seen at the front entrance earlier.

Even if Edmund was saved, his life was probably ruined.

A person, especially a man, should stand tall and live with pride. However, his leg was not just highly likely to be lost,

but it was already completely destroyed.

Even the most advanced medical techniques in the world might not be able to restore his leg, which was completely

destroyed in the explosion.

When Bailey saw that Victoria wasn't speaking, her heart sank, and she fell into despair.

Even though the heater was turned on and the room was warm, she felt a piercing coldness deep within her.

All the while, her greatest fear throughout was that Edmund would sacrifice himself to save her, so she had been

constantly worried and anxious.

However, in the end, fate played a cruel joke on her by snatching Edmund's life right before her eyes.

She would live the rest of her life with a sense of guilt and self-blame, unable to find peace day or night.

“I have to go see him.” Bailey struggled to get up again.

No one could stop her from accompanying Edmund on his final journey.

Victoria was about to intervene, but upon seeing tears streaming down Bailey's face, she suppressed her thoughts

and assisted the latter to sit up.

“Listen to me, Bay. Edmund is not dead, but his condition is critical. He's in the emergency room receiving

treatment, and I don't know the details. However, you should prepare yourself mentally because his right leg is

likely beyond repair. The impact was so severe that it caused significant damage to his lower leg.”

Bailey froze as she was about to flip over and get up.

When Victoria mentioned that Edmund was not dead, a glimmer of hope appeared in Bailey's eyes.

However, when she said that Edmund's leg was unlikely to be saved, the joy gradually faded away and was replaced

by a veil of gloom.

Nonetheless, she didn't let herself become too negative. After struggling to get up, she limped over to the cabinet,

retrieved a few substances, mixed them together, and injected them into her arm.

Victoria was taken aback. She tried to rush over to stop Bailey, but it was too late because the latter had injected

the mixture too quickly. It was so fast that Victoria couldn't react in time.

She had thought Bailey was preparing medicine for Edmund. Little did she expect it to be for Bailey herself.

“Bay, what did you inject into your body?”

“It's a stimulant. Don't worry. I won't die from it. At worst, there might be some side effects. I need to restore my

peak condition before going to the emergency room,” Bailey replied.

Going to the emergency room?

Victoria furrowed her brows.

Afraid Bailey would break down after seeing Edmund's condition, she said, “Justin is taking care of him in the

emergency room. Everything should be fine. You've exerted yourself too much. I think—”

Bailey waved her hand to interrupt Victoria. “Vicky, Edmund has sacrificed everything for me, including his life. He

saved me from the brink of death seven years ago, and he did the same today. I'm a human being, not an animal. I

know how to be grateful. Although I don't love him, his existence has already become an inseparable part of my

life.”

Victoria let out a soft sigh. “You have your own principles. Forget it. After what happened, it's unlikely that you'll be

able to stay here peacefully. Come on. I'll accompany you there.”

“Okay.”

Outside the emergency room, the hallway was filled with people. Almost all the members of the Chivers and Luther

families were there, waiting outside the door in silence for the final result.

Caridee spotted Bailey at the end of the hallway and asked hurriedly, “Bailey, your body is at its limit. Why did you

come out of the ward?”

Her words immediately caught everyone's attention.

Artemis, who had been leaning against the wall with his head down, suddenly turned around and looked at the

woman who had just stepped out of the elevator.

She looked pale and weak.

Now that Yvette had already been caught and Sofie had also been forced to go into hiding, the culprit behind it all

had finally been exposed.

However, the cost Artemis had paid was extremely painful.

He didn't know how to face his granddad, uncle, and aunt. Edmund's accident was like the end of the world for the

Chivers family.

The hundred-year-old prestigious family was highly likely to fall apart.

He hesitated whether to go and help Bailey, but his legs were so heavy that he couldn't take a step.

He had failed to protect the one she wanted to keep safe and even let her fall ill. He was racked with guilt.

Bailey scanned the faces of the people around her, and when her gaze met Artemis', her eyes dimmed slightly.

However, she didn't maintain eye contact with him for too long. Instead, she quickly looked away and walked

toward the Chivers family.

Gwendolyn looked at her with a complicated expression.

She didn't know whether to pity or blame the girl before her.

If it weren't for Bailey, her son would have been a successful and brilliant young man with a promising future ahead

of him. Yet, he was now on the brink of death with a lifelong disability.

Bailey walked up to Glen and knelt down with a thud.

That sudden move left everyone stunned.

Gwendolyn instinctively reached out to pull her up. “What are you doing? Get up quickly. The ground is cold, and

you're still very weak. Don't make things worse for yourself.”

Bailey avoided Gwendolyn's support and choked out, “Seven years ago, Rhonda tricked me into getting pregnant

before marriage. My children and I were in danger of dying, but Edmund saved us. He means everything to me. I

once thought I would marry him to repay his kindness, but fate played a cruel joke on us and separated us.”

As she spoke, her tears welled up and flowed uncontrollably down her cheeks like a burst dam, surging like a raging

river.

She continued, “He ended up like this today because of me. Seven years ago, he protected me, and seven years

later, he still risked his life to protect me. Now that the tragedy has already happened, I have no power to change

anything. Once he's saved, it's up to you to decide whether to kill or torture me.”

A deathly silence descended over the hallway.

Nobody uttered a word, and the vast hallway was so still that one could hear a pin drop.

Without realizing it, Artemis took a step with his left leg, intending to approach her. However, upon seeing her

stubborn demeanor, he hesitated and pulled his foot back.

At that moment, she was so overwhelmed with guilt that nobody could persuade her.

If he were to approach her, he would only make things worse.

After a long moment of silence, Glen let out a quiet sigh and uttered the phrase “fated calamity” a few times before

saying softly, “This was that brat's decision, and it's not your fault. He's already an adult, and he should bear the

consequences of his actions.”

Upon finishing his words, he turned to his son and daughter-in-law next to him and added, “Eddy was fated to

encounter this tragedy, and there was no way to avoid it. Don't blame anyone because this is his fate.”
