Chapter 760
Lindsay shook her head. In fact, Lindsay was unsure if Bailey had poisoned the drink. Her earlier words were all based on her imagination.
However, Ethereal had indeed studied the type of drug that could put people into a bizarre state. Lindsay heard Josiah mention it before. As for whether it was used on Sloan, Lindsay was really uncertain.
“I can't resolve it. Bailey is the Anonymous Dark Healer, and her creations are beyond the understanding of ordinary people. If I forcefully remove it, it'll cause immense damage to Mr. Fletcher's brain.”
Tamara's legs gave way, and she collapsed onto the edge of the bed.
What does it mean that ordinary people can't solve it? Does that mean I have to lower myself and beg Bailey for help? That despicable woman set a trap for me. If I really jump in, I'll be foolish. That woman is waiting to mock me.
“Mrs. Fletcher, now that the situation is clear. It wasn't my daughter who turned your husband into a vegetative person. If you really want to hold someone accountable, you should go after Bailey. She's the culprit.”
Lindsay's words seemed to have been the last straw, triggering Tamara's anger. “Bailey, that bitch, I'll make sure she pays with her blood for daring to scheme against the first in command. She's seeking death.”
“Since the misunderstanding has been cleared up, I wonder if Mrs. Fletcher can be lenient and release
Yolanda from imprisonment.”
Tamara gave Lindsay a cold glance and said faintly, “My husband's health condition involves too many interests, and it cannot be easily disclosed. Before he wakes up, I'm afraid your daughter will have to bear the inconvenience.”
Lindsay's eyes narrowed slightly. Lindsay had always disliked Ethereal. Years ago, Josiah had passed on the lost art of dream-tailoring skill to Ethereal.
Since then, that woman became internationally renowned. It was a pity for Yolanda. Although she was Josiah's biological daughter, she eventually ended up being overshadowed by Ethereal. Everyone knew Ethereal, but not Yolanda.
Now that Bailey has dug a pit, causing Yolanda to be put under house arrest, Lindsay decided that she must get even with Bailey this time.
“Alright. If Mrs. Fletcher doesn't mind, I can help research a method to neutralize the effects of this medicine. That way, you won't need to seek help from Bailey.”
After hearing that, Tamara's expression softened considerably. She smiled lightly and replied, “Well, in that case, I'll have to trouble you, Mrs. Gibson. Actually, I quite like Yola. If there's a destiny, I hope I can facilitate a marriage between our families.”
Lindsay's eyes lit up.
If Yola can marry into the Fletcher family, she'll be of high status. And who knows, she may even
become the first lady someday. Such an honor is far more glorious than being the matriarch of a prestigious and wealthy family.
“Sure! Let's consider it settled. Thank you, Mrs. Fletcher, for your kindness and care towards my daughter. I hope we truly have the opportunity to become in-laws in the future.”
Tamara did not say anything. At Juliana's residence, Raymond stood beside the bed with his hands behind his back, frowning as he looked at Juliana lying on the bed inside the bedroom. The toxin within Juliana's body had already begun to spread, infiltrating her internal organs, which was why she had fallen into a coma.
Looking at Juliana's pale face, Raymond let out a silent sigh. Raymond was not afraid of anything except his two daughters getting caught up in conflicts.
What came was what he was terrified of. Now, Wendy's life was uncertain. Juliana had been poisoned, and her life was in danger at any moment.
To annex Tarragon, Philip really disdained recognizing his family ties. After all, they were his nieces, but he did not hesitate to act against them.
“How much longer can Juliana hold on?”
Raymond tilted his head and asked the doctor beside him. The doctor thought for a moment, then nodded and answered, “At most half a month, at least a week. Given her prolonged unconsciousness, I estimate she can only hold on for a week. It would be best for you to make arrangements as soon as possible.”
Raymond knew Philip planned to lure Bailey to Moranta, then trap and kill her there. Juliana refused to give in. She did not want to watch her master come to die with her own eyes, so she never contacted Bailey from the moment the poison took effect until she fell unconscious. In that situation, it seemed Bailey must step in.
“Send a distress signal to Bailey on behalf of Juliana, force her to come to Moranta.”
The bodyguard behind Raymond responded and strode out of the bedroom.
Raymond looked at Juliana and said faintly, “Although I know it's a bit unfair to involve Bailey in this matter, your current situation really requires her help. I hope you can forgive Daddy when you wake up. Bailey's life and death have nothing to do with me, but I can't just stand by and watch you die.”
Juliana could not give a response.
At Tarragon Headquarters, Bailey became somewhat restless after receiving a message from Juliana.
In the past, whenever Juliana faced difficulties, at least she had Huntley by her side to share her burdens.
Now Huntley had been paralyzed, and Juliana was deeply poisoned.
Both of them were trapped in a dangerous situation. If Bailey and Artemis did not die, Philip and Sofie would not be at ease.
They spent their days in constant fear, so they would not let Juliana's friends and family be in peace.
“If you're really worried, make a trip to Moranta. I'll die soon, and whether I can survive is still uncertain. Don't hold up Julie's problem because of me!”
Artemis's sigh sounded in Bailey's ears, pulling her back from her dazed thoughts.
Bailey wrapped her arms around Artemis's neck, chuckled, and responded, “If you're willing to go with me, then I'll do as you say.”
Artemis kissed Bailey gently and pressed his forehead against hers. His hawk-like eyes filled with tenderness. Every day, just by looking at Bailey, Artemis felt contented. All content © N/.ôvel/Dr/ama.Org.
“Alright, let me make the arrangements, and we'll set off tomorrow.” Bailey shook her head while smiling.
“How can I bear to see you like this? Let's detoxify first. Juliana can still hold on for about ten more days. As long as it's not Soul Reaper, I can cure it, so there's no need to rush. The more anxious we are, the more likely we'll mess up.”
“Well, that's true. But it seems like there's no progress on my end. We can't keep dragging this on. There're still many things we haven't done yet. We can't be stuck here.”
Bailey blinked, and a cunning glint flashed across her eyes.
“Who said there's no progress? Master Lynch took me to a courtyard where my master once lived, and I found this there.”
After Bailey finished speaking, she took out a plastic bag from the drawer, which contained something
resembling a medicinal herb.
“What is this?”
“My master's courtyard has been abandoned for many years. Besides the herbs, this is the only thing left. I don't know what it is, but it must have grown there for a reason. So, I collected some to do research and discovered something interesting. Can you guess what it is?”
Artemis raised his eyebrows and grinned.
He asked, “Can this medicinal herb save my life even when I've lost all my blood?” Bailey reached out and pinched Bailey's handsome face.
She praised, “You're really smart. You got the answer right away!” Artemis could not help but laugh.
So, this is the only explanation now. Is there a need to guess?
“Tell me, what's going on?” Bailey took out a report from the printer and opened it in front of Artemis.
“Look.”
Artemis casually glanced over it twice and shook his head.
He commented, “I don't understand. Wifey, please explain it to me.”
