Chapter 752
On the private plane. Bailey slowly woke up from her deep sleep, gazing dazedly at the cabin above her with a hint of confusion in her eyes.

The door opened, and Zeke walked in from outside.
“Bay, you're awake? You've been sleeping for a long time these past few days. Are you feeling any discomfort? Do you need me to call a doctor to check on you?”
Bailey didn't speak, slowly closing her eyes. After a moment of silence, she opened her eyes again and tearfully said, “Zeke, tell them not to fly forward. Let's go back to Tarragon Headquarters. I've said it before. I want to be with him even in death.”
Zeke abruptly stopped in his tracks, looking at her in astonishment and unable to believe what he was hearing.
“Bay, y-you haven't...”
“I haven't lost my memory. That deeply engraved love still exists in my mind. Surprised, aren't you? But it doesn't matter, as I never lost my memory.”
Zeke's legs grew weak, and he stumbled as he sat down by the bed. His voice was hoarse as he said, “How is this possible? Artemis clearly drugged you with the memory loss pill in the chicken soup. How...”
At this point, he narrowed his eyes slightly, stayed silent for a moment, and continued, “You knew in advance that Artemis would use the memory loss pill on you, so you prepared for it?”
Bailey smiled bitterly, shaking her head.
“Yes, I did anticipate that he would use the memory loss pill on me, but I didn't make any preparations because I still had a glimmer of trust in him. I believed that he would be willing to face life and death with me. But I never expected that he would ultimately drug me and trample upon the love between us. Zeke, I'm truly heartbroken.”
As she spoke, tears welled up in her eyes and fell onto the pillow, wetting a large area. Zeke rubbed his forehead, trying to console her.
“The one who drugged you with the memory loss pill and made you forget the past was not him, but me. It was my suggestion to him because I couldn't bear to see you die like that. If you want to blame someone, blame me. Don't push the responsibility onto him.”
Bailey looked at him through teary eyes and cried, “Zeke, it's time for you to give up. I think you should abandon the idea of making me lose my memory.”
She continued, “I can't forget him. That man has already become a part of my flesh and soul. Neither the memory loss pill nor hypnosis can remove him from my life. When I woke up from unconsciousness, I thought I would forget him, but I found myself in a strange world. There was vastness behind me. But the truth told me that even the memory loss pill can't expel him from my world. This is the love I'm willing to risk my life to protect because it's him. I'm willing to do it. Don't force me anymore. Even if you take me away today, if I can't see him for half a month, I will find a place to
die alone. Can you bear to see me end up like that? Since both choices lead to death, can't you fulfill me this one wish and let us spend our last moments together? If we're separated in different places, even in death, our souls won't be able to be together. Zeke, are you really that cruel to me?”
Zeke closed his eyes heavily, tears streaming down his face.
“Fine, fine. Originally, I felt sorry for you and wanted to keep you by my side. But in the end, I became the one who separated you two and the culprit behind it all. This guilt is too great, and I can't bear it. Since you insist on going back, I won't stop you. Rest for a while, and I'll go and instruct the pilot to turn back.”
Bailey didn't say anything, staring blankly at the cabin above her.
After Zeke left, she hugged the pillow and burst into tears. She knew that she had many responsibilities to fulfill in this world—her parents, her children, and her loved ones were all her ties to the world. However, Artemis was her destiny and her heart. How could one live when their heart died?
The memory loss pill had no effect on her. When she opened her eyes, her mind was still filled with thoughts of him, proving that the man had already occupied her entire life. Removing him from her existence would require crushing her bones and turning her to ashes.
Every pore and every cell of hers carried his mark, and she couldn't be reformatted. Every inch of his warmth was deeply imprinted on her heart. Tarragon Headquarters.
Inside the main bedroom. Artemis stood by the floor-to-ceiling window as intense coughing sounds echoed throughout the room.
After Bailey left, his world collapsed completely, and he lost all will to live. In just a few hours, he had become weak and pale, looking like he could perish at any moment.
Ring!
His phone, placed on the windowsill, began to ring. He picked it up and saw that it was a call from Holden.
“What's the matter?”
“Leader, Mr. Zeke's private plane has turned back again. Shall we allow him to land?”
Artemis's heart sank suddenly. If they were forced to turn back, did that mean something happened to Bailey? Her body was already weak, and the memory loss pill was too much for her to bear. Could it be that while erasing her memories, it also dealt a fatal blow to her body?
“Let him land.”
After speaking, he immediately hung up the call, grabbed the coat from the coat rack, put it on, and strode out of the bedroom. At the airport.
The private plane descended slowly, the cabin door opened, and Zeke carried Bailey out from the aircraft. Artemis quickly approached.
Seeing Bailey's pale face and tightly closed eyes as she nestled in Zeke's embrace, he became extremely anxious.
“What happened to her? Did the memory loss pill cause side effects on her?”
Zeke sighed silently and walked past him, heading toward the laboratory. Lu Ye Bai's eyes darted around as his mind raced with countless thoughts flashing through his mind in an instant.
In the end, he followed along without a word. Although he had a guess in his heart, he still found it somewhat hard to believe.
Did she not lose her memories even after taking the memory loss pill?
Did she make preparations in advance, or did she love him too deeply? Was the pill ineffective on her? The group arrived at the laboratory, and Zeke looked down at Bailey in his arms.
“We're here.”
Bailey slowly opened her eyes and said tearfully, “Let me down. I'll go in and study the antidote. You should rest for a while. You've been restless all night.”
Zeke set her down. Throughout the entire time, Bailey never gave Artemis a proper glance and walked weakly toward the laboratory. Zeke sighed silently and looked at Artemis, who was motionless.
He couldn't help but reach out and pat his shoulder.
“Accept your fate. This is probably the result that the heavens have arranged for you. We didn't want her to die, but she's determined to court death.”
Artemis said in a low voice, “I clearly administered the pill, and she clearly drank the soup. How is it
that nothing happened? Did she anticipate it in advance and plan accordingly?” Zeke shook his head.
“No, she didn't. She didn't take any measures. It's simply because she loves you too much to the extent that even the memory loss pill couldn't remove her from your life. Let's stop torturing ourselves. The memory loss pill didn't work, and hypnosis won't work either. Let's leave it to fate.”
As he spoke, his gaze suddenly became sympathetic.Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
