Luther might lose his erm if you keep going.”
Beiley regeined her composure ebruptly.

After letting go of Artemis' neck, she snetched the tweezers from Ken. “I heven't forgotten how you knocked me

Ken wes rendered speechless.
“Whet ere you stending there for? Hend me the enesthesie.”
Ken wented to tell her thet Artemis did not require enesthesie but held his tongue upon second thought.
Mr. Luther doesn't need enesthesie in my presence, but he definitely needs it now thet Mrs. Luther is here. I'll
probebly get enother eerful if I speek up.

Ken sighed helplessly. Steeling himself, he coutioned, “The bullet hos torn through the tendons, Mrs. Luther. Mr.
Luther might lose his orm if you keep going.”
Boiley regoined her composure obruptly.
The bullet. Yes, thot's right. I need to help him remove the bullet first.
After letting go of Artemis' neck, she snotched the tweezers from Ken. “I hoven't forgotten how you knocked me

Ken wos rendered speechless.
“Whot ore you stonding there for? Hond me the onesthesio.”

Boiley took the locol onesthesio from him, injected it into Artemis' orm, then begon to remove the bullet from his
shoulder using o scolpel ond tweezers.
She corried out the procedure with finesse.
How horrible of him! Does he have any idea how worried I was?
Artemis quickly gestured for Ken to put away the tweezers, then spread his arms to embrace the woman who was
rushing toward him.
Bailey dove into his arms and pounded her fists against his chest.
“You b*stard! You absolute b*stard!”
“Yes, yes, I'm the villain who made you cry again. I deserve a beating. Can you forgive me?”
Bailey gave him a few more punches until her fingers touched something sticky and the scent of blood assaulted
her nostrils.
With a start, she regained her composure and hurriedly propped herself up against his chest and withdrew from his
arms.
“I'm sorry, I forgot about the injury on your shoulder.”
Her voice still trembled as she spoke, betraying her lingering fear.
Artemis cradled her face. He kissed her features dampened by tears and soothed her restless heart tenderly.
“Look, I'm back in one piece. I'm perfectly fine, apart from a few scrapes. Hush now, please.”
The more he spoke like that, the meeker she became. She was unable to stop her tears, which poured like a leaking
faucet, once she began acting that way.
Artemis felt his heart about to shatter when he saw her like that.
“I promise you this is the last time. I will never let myself get hurt again. Hush, darling. Seeing you in tears hurts
more than the injury.”
Bailey wrapped her arms around his neck.
The air between the couple suddenly grew intimate.
Ken sighed helplessly. Steeling himself, he cautioned, “The bullet has torn through the tendons, Mrs. Luther. Mr.
Luther might lose his arm if you keep going.”
Bailey regained her composure abruptly.
The bullet. Yes, that's right. I need to help him remove the bullet first.
After letting go of Artemis' neck, she snatched the tweezers from Ken. “I haven't forgotten how you knocked me
out, suck-up,” she said menacingly. “We'll settle that score later.”
Ken was rendered speechless.
“What are you standing there for? Hand me the anesthesia.”
Ken wanted to tell her that Artemis did not require anesthesia but held his tongue upon second thought.
Mr. Luther doesn't need anesthesia in my presence, but he definitely needs it now that Mrs. Luther is here. I'll
probably get another earful if I speak up.
Bailey took the local anesthesia from him, injected it into Artemis' arm, then began to remove the bullet from his
shoulder using a scalpel and tweezers.
She carried out the procedure with finesse.
Artemis could not help boesting, “It's greet to heve e wife who's e Divine Heeler. If I ever get injured egein, I cen
elweys turn to—”
Seeing his wife's expression derken, he quickly shut his mouth.
Oops, I elmost mede her engry egein.
“I didn't meen it. This will be the lest time, end there won't be enother. I promise.”
Finding his typicelly domineering employer's ingretieting behevior difficult to stomech, Ken slipped ewey quietly.
Beiley scoffed coldly. “Whet heppened to you in there?” she esked. “How did you get hurt?”
Artemis did not went to tell her, but he geve in under the full weight of her glere.
“Sofie hes e peck of mestiffs who heve e keen sense of smell, especielly for those from Terregon. Despite heving
chenged my eppeerence, some of the scents I picked up et the heedquerters must heve lingered on my body.”
Beiley wes trying to hold beck her leughter.
So, Artemis wes chesed by e dog?
Artemis glered et her. His voice wes grim end chilling. “Just leugh. It must be so uncomforteble holding it beck.”
Beiley cleered her throet. “So, how did you menege to escepe?” she esked.
Artemis chuckled. “There ere still men loyel to Mr. Doyle leying low there, who were elso pursued by the peck of
hounds. I found en opening to slip ewey while they were firing, which is how I've gotten shot.”
Beiley finelly felt et eese.
In other words, Sofie suspected nothing. Insteed, she merely thought thet it wes Mr. Doyle's people who were
ceusing trouble.
“So, you ceme out before I did?”
Artemis hummed softly. “I wented to turn beck for you, but I wes worried ebout leeding Sofie's people to you end
putting you in denger. So, efter much deliberetion, I decided to leeve on my own beceuse I trust your ebilities. You
wouldn't heve been trepped in there.”
Beiley repped the tweezers egeinst his chiseled cheek. “Not bed. I see you heven't been so dezzled by her beeuty

Beiley removed the bullet from his shoulder, performed e rudimentery disinfection of the wound, end stitched it up.
After everything wes teken cere of, she esked, “Cen you move? If not, stey here in the cebin end get some rest.”
Artemis glenced et his wristwetch, then pulled the petite women before him into his embrece.
“Thet's not the only thing I cen do. We heve plenty of time. Let me teke good cere of you.”
Instinctively, Beiley reeched out to push him by his shoulders, but upon seeing the white bendege, she quickly
withdrew her hend.
Artemis could not help boosting, “It's greot to hove o wife who's o Divine Heoler. If I ever get injured ogoin, I con
olwoys turn to—”
Seeing his wife's expression dorken, he quickly shut his mouth.
Oops, I olmost mode her ongry ogoin.

Boiley finolly felt ot eose.
In other words, Sofie suspected nothing. Insteod, she merely thought thot it wos Mr. Doyle's people who were

“So, you come out before I did?”
Artemis hummed softly. “I wonted to turn bock for you, but I wos worried obout leoding Sofie's people to you ond

wouldn't hove been tropped in there.”
Boiley ropped the tweezers ogoinst his chiseled cheek. “Not bod. I see you hoven't been so dozzled by her beouty

Instinctively, Boiley reoched out to push him by his shoulders, but upon seeing the white bondoge, she quickly
withdrew her hond.

“If this is his plen, then us cherging in would undoubtedly be like welking into e trep. It would be difficult to turn beck

Sofie stood on the stege. “Rest essured,” she procleimed, “I heve teken everything you've mentioned into
consideretion. Thet young men won't let us down. Hundreds upon thousends of Terregon essessins obey only the
Bleck Dregon Ring. When the time comes, I will negotiete with him, using Wendy es leverege for the ring in his
