Suddenly There Are Three (Bailey and Artemis)

Chapter 913

Chapter 913 She Is Determined To Die

At the same time, Blaze sat beside the bed in the infirmary, quietly observing Cameron's pale and tired-

looking face.

Even though the man was sound asleep, his brows remained tightly furrowed, subtly radiating a pained

look.

That poison is too potent. Cameron has taken the medicine that can suppress the toxicity after he got

poisoned, yet, it still can't alleviate the pain of the toxins corroding his body. With the antidote

preparation process put on hold now, there's no way to proceed to the next step. Without the complete

formula of the poison, we can't use medicine to counteract the toxin. Any incorrect ingredient used will

lead Cameron to certain death.

After sitting by the bed for half an hour, she slowly rose from her seat, seemingly having made up her

mind.

She looked down at Cameron for a few minutes, then slowly leaned over and kissed his forehead.

When she straightened herself again, the emotions lingering in her eyes before were all gone. All that

was left was endless tranquility.

She grabbed the phone on the bedside table and strode out of the ward.

She knew that Kurt was not only waiting for her call but also for her to show her vulnerability, plead with

him, and submit to him.

If she did not comply with Kurt's wishes, she would have to watch Cameron gradually get consumed by

the toxin.

Once the toxin seeped into his heart, there would be no way to save him, not even if there was an

antidote.

This matter concerned a life, especially one that was of the man she admired and pursued for so many ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

years. There was no way she could watch him die just like that.

Hence, no matter what dirty demands Kurt raised, she would agree to them, even if it meant she had to

use her body as a negotiation.

After leaving the ward, she found Kurt's number and dialed it.

He had probably also figured she would cast her dignity aside and call him.

The moment the call got through, he went straight to the point. “You want me to save him? Sure, I can.

On the account that the Yablon family has taken care of me and brought me up, I won't make things

difficult for him either. It's just that I've had feelings for you for the longest time. Don't you think you

should also fulfill a small wish of mine?”

Blaze tightened her grip on the phone. Standing by the window sill, she silently gazed at the dark sky

outside and slowly lifted the corners of her lips into a beautiful but sad smile.

“Sure, I'll do it. I'll go and find you at dawn. Send me your location.”

Kurt burst into a sinister laugh. “You'd better not try any tricks. Otherwise, I'll make sure to drag

Cameron down with me, even in death.”

Blaze was enough of his nonsense and simply ended the call.

A few seconds later, Kurt texted her an address.

She stared at her phone screen for some time before glancing back at the ward door. Then, she paced

toward the upper floor.

A few minutes later, she knocked on Catherine's door.

“Do you need something, Ms. Blaze?”

Blaze smiled lightly. “I know you're eagerly trying to get your hands on Fragrance Journal and

Encyclopedia of Poison, Ms. Rogers. I'm pretty sure you have your way of getting the journal. As for

the encyclopedia, I'll help you retrieve it. As a reward, I hope you can gift me something. I have an

urgent need for it.”

Catherine narrowed her eyes.

She was aware that Cameron was poisoned.

The culprit is that traitor of the Yablon family, Kurt. And the Encyclopedia of Poison is in his hands. So...

“What would you like from me, Ms. Blaze?”

Blaze leaned in and whispered a few words into her ear.

Upon hearing that, Catherine's face drastically changed.

“Why do you want that thing? Ms. Blaze, I know you're worried about Mr. Yablon, but you can't put

yourself in danger like this either. This is no different from you trading your life for another. It's too

extreme.”

Blaze had a straightforward character and was not fond of beating around the bush. “Even if you don't

give me this thing, I'll still go and meet Kurt, and he'll still force himself on me. Since that's so, I thought

I should get something out of it, like controlling him and forcing him to hand over the antidote and the

Encyclopedia of Poison. Only that way will my sacrifice be worth it.”

Catherine found herself in a state of indecision.

Seeing that, Blaze added, “The crux of this is using that thing to kill him. Ms. Rogers, do you really not

want to help me?”

Catherine heaved a silent sigh. “Since you're determined to go whether I give it to you or not, I might as

well give it to you. This way, perhaps, I can at least save your life.”

With that, she turned and went back into her room. Shortly after, she walked out with a white porcelain

bottle in her hand.

“Put them on your body. The male parasitic worm will enter his body on its own as your bodies touch.”

Blaze received the bottle and chuckled lightly. “Thank you, Ms. Rogers. I hope what happened tonight

will remain between you and me. Please keep this a secret for me. Don't let anyone else know.”

After she finished speaking, she turned around and left.

Catherine saw the despair in Blaze's eyes.

She's determined to die by going to Kurt like this. As long as they get infected together, Kurt will have

to die once she dies.

In other words, she had to sacrifice her own life first if she wanted Kurt dead.

Seeing Blaze about to disappear within her vision, Catherine rushed forward, grabbed onto the former's

shoulder, and whispered something into her ear.

“Ms. Blaze, remember what I just said. Do not court death if you still have a bit of attachment to this

world.”

Blaze tugged at the corners of her stiff lips to reveal a forced smile.

“Thank you very much.”

Watching Blaze's departing silhouette, Catherine subconsciously reached out, only to realize she could

grab nothingness.

Suddenly, Simon's voice echoed in her ears. “Why are you spacing out in the middle of the hallway?

Are you sleepwalking?”

Catherine subtly turned her head away to gather her downcast emotions.

After regaining her composure, she turned around and glanced at Simon. “If I'm really sleepwalking, I

wouldn't be standing here in a daze. The first thing I'll probably do is kill you.”

Um...

Just as she was about to leave, Simon quickly reached out and held onto her.

“I've spoken to Artemis. Just wait a few more days. Once they've taken care of Moranta's situation, I'll

follow you to Gregan.”

Catherine's tone instantly grew icy as she knew what was on his mind.

“No need, Simon. Do you not understand what I said? I said there's no need.”

As her words fell, she attempted to shrug off his arm.

Simon held her tightly, unwilling to let her go. “I've deployed a hundred special agents over. Without my

permission, there's no way you can leave Moranta. So, it'd be wiser if you stay put for a few days and

listen to my instructions.”

Catherine's gaze turned cold, and a hint of anger crossed her face.

Perhaps I shouldn't have gloated at his misfortune and let him fall into the trap Artemis set to become

the head of the Luther family. Men be men. Even losers can act like a menace once they get power.

I've miscalculated. Now I've just made life difficult for myself.

Seeing her lack of temper, Simon could not help but lift his lips into a smile and said, “You better

behave yourself and stay here. I won't joke about my daughter's life. Just wait for my arrangements.”

Catherine was rendered speechless.

This jerk. If only I could smear some poisonous powder to disfigure his annoying face! But with so

many special agents around, there's honestly no way I can escape. Fine, Simon Luther! I won't forget

this!

In the middle of the night, Blaze drove to Kurt's residence.
