Super Mommy and Her Triplets

Chapter 783

The more she thought about it, the more intense her anger grew. That man didn't deserve sympathy. He had brought it upon himself.

“Let's have someone be in charge of taking care of him. At least he's alive. He'll recover one day.”

Having said that, she turned around and prepared to leave. Bailey raised her eyebrows. She smiled sarcastically and said, “Who said he would recover? If he doesn't receive proper care, his entire upper body could become paralyzed.”

Shannon suddenly stopped in her tracks. She turned around to look at her with a face full of astonishment.

“What are you saying? His entire upper body will be paralyzed? Didn't you say the surgery was successful? How could he end up paralyzed?” Bailey shrugged nonchalantly.

“The surgery was successful in the sense that his life was saved and his ribs were reconnected. However, it's hard to say whether he'll fully recover or not.”

She continued, “If his body isn't in good condition and doesn't respond to the treatment, even if his surface wounds heal completely, his ribs might not recover. In that case, his entire upper body will still be unable to move. If that's not paralysis, then what is it?”

Shannon slowly turned around with a mocking smile on her face.

“So you're in league with them.” Bailey didn't respond. Instead, she changed the subject.

“I've made the situation clear to you. If you don't want him to become paralyzed, you'd better take good care of him. This guy is quite a handful. If you don't keep an eye on him, he might get more crazy ideas and inflict further harm on himself. Then, there'll be no saving him.”

The veins on Shannon's forehead bulged out prominently. She was being put on the spot. The worst part was that she couldn't even refuse. Was it really all right for them to pressure her like this?

Bailey tossed the stethoscope in her hand aside. After checking all the medical equipment one by one, she paced towards the door.

“I'll be leaving Tarragon in a couple of days. Please take good care of him. Bone injuries are slow to recover. You wouldn't want his entire right chest to collapse.”

She continued, “A fractured rib is no small matter. If you don't want to have any regrets in the future, go along with his wishes. Take good care of him. It's rare for a man to hurt himself ruthlessly to gain a beautiful woman's sympathy.”

Shannon glared at her, “Bailey, we're not good friends anymore.”

Bailey raised her eyebrows and smiled, “No matter. Micah and Artemis are my good buddies. If you don't want to be my friend, you can be my younger sibling instead. You should get used to it. Maybe one day you'll call me your sister-in-law. Hehe! I'm looking forward to that day.”

Just as Bailey stepped out of Micah's residence, she bumped into Zeke, who had come to look for her.

“Bay, the situation in Moranta is getting more and more complicated.”

Bailey was taken aback. She asked with a frown, “What happened?”

Zeke handed her the note in his hand. Upon taking a glance, Bailey's expression immediately turned gloomy.

“I can't believe Shaun had the audacity to lay hands on Aunt Caridee. Originally I had no proper reason to provoke the Carter family. I wanted to attack them anonymously and start a conflict between the Carter family and the Luther family, both of which are prestigious households. Now that Shaun dared to mess with the Luther family's precious princess, he can't blame me for taking action against him. Veikko did a great job. If it were me, I also would have released a few mastiffs to make a mess out of him.” Content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

Zeke rubbed his forehead and laughed.

“Revenge may feel good for a moment, but dealing with the aftermath is like dealing with a cremation ground. By doing so, Veikko is pushing Shaun to form an alliance with Philip.”

At that point, he seemed to sense that something was amiss and asked with a furrowed brow, “Why do you want to deal with the Carter family? Did you have any grievances or grudges with them before this?”

After giving it some thought, Bailey decided to tell him about Veikko's background.

“Do you think I should deal with the Carter family? Veikko is my little brother. I'll make them pay for everything he has experienced and encountered with interest.”

Zeke's eyes swirled with a lingering astonishment.

He would never have imagined that the tenacious and outstanding young man had such a tumultuous and bloody past.

“If that's the case, Shaun joining forces with Philip isn't too bad. We can take them all down in one fell swoop.”

Bailey hooked her lips into a smile, her gaze falling in the direction of the main hall.

“It's time to release the news of Artemis' poisoning and death. Let's go to the headquarters and discuss our strategy with him. We've been laying low for so long, it's about time we go out and take some action.”

Inside the main building on Intel Island, Quincy was gathering his subordinates to discuss their alliance with Sofie to take down the Tarragon headquarters from the inside and out.

The poison, Soul Reaper, in Artemis' body, spelt certain death. Micah jumped into a crocodile pond for the sake of a woman and ended up severely injured. And Sofie had Holden in the palm of her hand. In their battle for power, they were destined to win no matter how one looked at it.

With the loss of those three leaders, Tarragon had already lost half of its power. As long as they planned properly, they could surely achieve victory without taking any more losses.

“Mr. Quincy, looking at the situation now, it seems we're certain to win.”

“Not bad. I initially thought Micah could be a formidable opponent and that dealing with him might take

some time. But now, he's brought about his own downfall, all for a woman. He's no longer going to be a problem.”

“Mr. Quincy, the time is ripe. When can we take action?” Quincy waved his hand and said coldly, “The best opportunity to strike hasn't come yet. Let's wait a little longer.”

At that moment, a person dressed in black darted in from outside and whispered a few words into Quincy's ear.

Upon hearing this, a hint of delight appeared on his face. “Is it really true that he's dead? Are you sure this information is reliable?”

“Mr. Quincy, rest assured, although we have already left the headquarters, there are still some insiders from our side that remained. I've contacted them and got the latest information. Their Leader has indeed died from poisoning, and Holden is trying to suppress this matter.”

“Hahaha!” Quincy looked up and laughed heartily.

“Indeed, heaven is on our side! Now is the perfect time. Artemis is dead, Micah is crippled, and Holden's in Sofie's hands. We're just waiting for the final showdown.”

“Mr. Quincy, why don't we strike while the iron is hot and attack their headquarters now, catching them off guard?”

“No, we can't.” Quincy hurriedly waved his hand and said, “It's not the right time yet, because Bailey is still alive. If we attack the Tarragon headquarters now, we'll only end up in a situation where both sides suffer losses.”

“If Bailey takes action, we'll be completely powerless to fight back. In the end, we'd just be facilitating Sofie and Philip's marriage. I can't bring myself to do such a foolish thing.”

Bailey...Right. There's still Bailey.

“So, should we spread the news about the Leader's death by poisoning now? Holden has been trying hard to suppress this information to avoid causing internal chaos.”

“Let's expose it. It'll definitely cause chaos. After all, there are so many people coveting Tarragon's territory.”

Quincy stroked his beard. After a moment of silence, he nodded and said, “Release the news. Do it discreetly and leave no traces behind.”

“Yes.”

Inside the study in the medical base at Hallsbay, Zain tossed a few test reports in front of Justin.

“I'm really puzzled. The Xuereb family is a prestigious family of medical practitioners with your mother the matriarch. How could she have come up with such a malicious method? Even as an outsider, I find it hard to accept.”
