Chapter 776 Not Pregnant
Olivia stared at her, frowning as she asked, “How can we make her die? Justin won't even let me near the medical
base now. We can't get close to her.”
Ever since Olivia revealed her intention to remove Veronique's oxygen mask last time, Justin had strictly ordered his
subordinates not to let her enter the medical base. Even if she wanted to do something, she would not have the
chance. Scarlett's eyes glinted coldly, and the corner of her lips curled up into a sneer with a hint of sinister intent.
She hinted, “We can't go in, but someone else can. For example, Veronique's son.”
Olivia suddenly became interested and quickly asked, “What do you plan to do?”
Scarlett whispered a few words in her ear. After hearing this, Olivia fell into hesitation and asked with some
suspicion, “Will it really work?”
“Don't worry. I've already consulted about this. Cancer patients usually use a certain anticancer drug to prolong
their lives. I've instructed someone to develop a drug that counteracts this type of medication,” Scarlett said.
“All you need to do is quietly spray this mist onto Veronique's son, allowing him to carry it into the ward. Once
Veronique absorbs it, the cancer medication she's injected with will lose its effectiveness, thus accelerating the
spread of cancer cells. It would be difficult for her to recover from this.”
After saying that, Scarlett took a bottle from her bag and handed it to Olivia. Olivia hesitated. This concerned taking
someone's life for wealth. If the truth were exposed, she would have to spend the rest of her days in prison. It was
not worth getting involved for someone who was about to die.
“Lettie, I...” Upon seeing her hesitation, Scarlett did not wait for her to voice her refusal and said coldly,
“Whether you do it is entirely up to you. Your uncle's case is about to go to trial. Once he's convicted, it will be
difficult to overturn the verdict.”
“My dad and mom probably would not take the risk to help him overturn the case either. You need to think it
through. If your uncle goes to jail, I'm afraid the Campbell family will never recover from this setback,” Scarlett
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtreminded.
Olivia shuddered, and the hesitation in her eyes gradually faded away. It was crucial for the Campbell family not to
encounter any problems. Only when her family becomes powerful can she have confidence within the Xuereb
family.
“All right, let's do it. I'll have someone find out where that child is. When I have some free time, I'll meet with him
and take the opportunity to act.”
Scarlett responded with silence. In the Tarragon Headquarters. Artemis woke up from his sleep and did not see
Bailey. After asking the servants, he found out she had gone to the infirmary.
The infirmary? Why did she go there?
He remembered she woke up retching, and his heart suddenly sank.
Could she be poisoned?
Perhaps symptoms vary in men and women due to having different constitutions. Artemis had vomited blood, but
Bailey was only dry heaving.
The more he thought about it, the more anxious he became. After instructing the maid to prepare dinner, he
hurriedly left the main hall and headed toward the infirmary. Inside the infirmary.
The doctor performed an ultrasound on her, focusing on her uterus. After the results came out, she hurriedly
approached and asked, “So, am I pregnant or not?”
The doctor shook his head and respectfully said, “You are not pregnant, Mrs. Jefferson. There are no signs of a
fertilized egg in your uterus.”
I'm not pregnant?
Bailey furrowed her brows.
Then why am I vomiting? Also, why is my menstruation late?
She remembered her relatives' menstruations were always very punctual.
“Are you sure you're not mistaken?”
The doctor quickly knelt on one knee and anxiously said, “Mrs. Jefferson, your pregnancy is crucial to Leader's
lineage, and we dare not take it lightly. This result has been obtained after several confirmations. There will
absolutely be no issues.”
Bailey rubbed her forehead, feeling a slight headache, and laughed.
“Seems like I'm overthinking things. It's better if I'm not pregnant. I'm actually scared of being pregnant.”
No sooner had her words fallen than the door to the ultrasound room was pushed open, and Artemis hurriedly
rushed in. When he saw the doctor kneeling before Bailey, his pupils contracted sharply.
“Bailey, did you get poisoned by Soul Reaper? Have they already confirmed it, and that's why you plan to silence
them?” Bailey was taken aback.
What about Soul Reaper?
His suddenness left her utterly bewildered.
“I-I didn't get poisoned by Soul Reaper. Who told you I was poisoned?”
Artemis glared at her and snatched the paper from the doctor's hand.
“You even came here for a CT scan. Aren't you here to check for poison in your body? Bailey, I've been poisoned,
but that doesn't make me stupid. What's the point of hiding it from me?”
Bailey suddenly realized there had been a misunderstanding.
“Mr. Luther, could you please look at the list before you say anything? Just see what's written on it, okay?”
Artemis saw her face full of honesty, with no intention of evading his gaze. This made him even more puzzled, and
he lowered his head to look at the report in his hand.
Uterus? No signs of a fertilized egg? What is this?
“Are you checking for pregnancy?” Bailey nodded.
“I threw up this morning. If not for a pregnancy test, what else should I check for?” Artemis showed no signs of
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmexcitement. Instead, his expression grew darker and darker.
“You're using a pregnancy test to cover up the fact that you've been poisoned, Bailey. Do you really think I'm that
stupid? Can't you come up with a more convincing excuse? Pregnant? How did you even come up with such a lame
excuse?”
Bailey became even more confused. A hint of doubt flashed in her eyes. She frowned and asked,
“Why can't I be pregnant? How is that a lame excuse? You slept with me, so isn't it normal for me to be pregnant?”
Artemis could not help but scoff angrily at her audacity.
She seems quite confident and unapologetic. Is she taking advantage of the fact that I hadn't studied medicine?
“To my knowledge, a man cannot be fertile after vasectomy. Ms. Jefferson, how could you become pregnant after I
had the procedure?” After saying that, he reached out and embraced her.
He softened his tone and said, “Now, be a good girl and tell me if Soul Reaper has poisoned you.”
Bailey looked up and stared blankly at him.
“When did you get a vasectomy? Did you do it behind my back?” Artemis' expression faltered for a moment. He
finally realized something was off. She seemed to have forgotten about the vasectomy.
Could she be...
At this thought, he pushed her away, grabbed her shoulders, and said sternly, “You were pregnant a while ago. I
didn't want another unintended pregnancy, so I had a vasectomy. Don't you remember?”
Bailey rolled her eyes as a hint of confusion flashed in her eyes. His gaze told her that he was not lying. Artemis
seemed to have truly undergone surgery, and she knew it too, but she just could not remember it.
Perhaps...
“Artemis, the memory loss pill you gave me couldn't make me forget about you, but it did make me forget many
things. I truly don't remember you had a vasectomy before, or else I wouldn't have come for an ultrasound. Don't
worry. I'm not poisoned. I simply had a pregnancy test.”
Artemis breathed a sigh of relief, but his face turned gloomy again the next second. He could finally be relieved
hearing she had not been poisoned. However, he was more worried about Bailey's impaired memory.
“Do you have headaches? Is your memory ever confused? Are there any other discomforts in your body?”
