Super Mommy and Her Triplets
Chapter 118
Anonymous.
An inexplicable look flashed in Bailey's eyes for a split second.
It had been a long time since someone last mentioned this name.
“I...”
Just as she was about to respond, Edmund's phone rang inside his pocket.
After picking up and hearing what the other person had to say, his expression turned grave.
“Okay. I'll be right there.”
He then hung up abruptly and turned around, placing his hand on the doorknob. “My grandfather's fallen unconscious again, Bay. It looks pretty serious, so I have to go back now. It's getting late. Have an early night, and don't stay up.”
“Don't be too hasty,” Bailey called out while grabbing onto his arm. “You still need to drive! If you panic, you might... Oh! What am I saying? Anyway, be careful on the road. Your grandfather's hung on for two years. I'm sure he'll be fine this time too.”
Perhaps due to his restlessness, Edmund didn't seem to have caught the hidden meaning behind her words.
Glen's illness had always been a highly-kept secret, and the public knew nothing about his condition.
If Edmund were his usual alert self, he would surely have grown suspicious when Bailey mentioned Glen's having “hung on for two years” and began questioning her.
Fortunately, he was now so worried that realization hadn't dawned on him.
Through a phone call with Veronique, of course.
Two years ago, Veronique had informed Bailey that the eldest son of the Luther family, Artemis, had contacted the former, asking her to return to Hallsbay to operate on Glen.
Yet, she had turned him down immediately while also adding that she wasn't the main surgeon who had operated on the king of Eskaria three years ago; it was a woman called Anonymous.
After failing to retrieve any other information on Anonymous from Veronique, Artemis could only leave things be.
As for now, Bailey roughly understood why Artemis had asked Veronique to come back.
He's hoping Veronique would agree to perform the surgery, but if she doesn't, he'd probably try to find out more about Anonymous through her. Sigh... My head hurts.
Zayron tugged onto the corner of Bailey's shirt and glanced up at her. “If Glen is the granddad of that scumbag of a father of mine, that makes him my great-granddad, right, Bailey?”
Bailey rubbed her temples. It was clear what the boy was insinuating.
“That's right. By right, you should be calling him your great-granddad. It's just that Simon doesn't intend to acknowledge you both as part of the family, so you can just pretend not to know anything.”
Zayron pouted. “But we already know, so why should we act like we don't? You have so much to say for someone who isn't doing anything while Great-granddad's lying in bed and could go anytime soon.”
Exasperated, the woman gave the back of his head a light slap. “What do you want me to do, then?”
Zayron broke into a smile. “Save him.”
Bailey stilled momentarily before disagreeing right away. “That's impossible. Any surgeon can do it but me. Give up on that idea of yours.”
With that, she turned and walked toward the bedroom.
For some reason, her usually-carefree silhouette now looked rather depressing and lonesome.
“Veronique can do it, Zayron. She has to because this time, no one will come forward to help her like what happened three years ago.”
Pursing his lips, Zayron stepped forward to refute her, only for Susan to hold him back by the arm.
“Don't do this to her, Zayron. We're the only ones in the world who can't tell her what to do.”
“But she—”
The little girl quickly waved a hand in front of him. “Have you forgotten what happened, Zayron?” she whispered.
Hearing that, the boy's face turned pale. “Of course, I haven't, but that's exactly why she should go back to the operating table and try—”
“Don't force her to,” Susan pleaded while hugging him tightly. “Mommy's traumatized. She still can't get over what happened.”
“Fine,” Zayron responded with a sigh. “I'll talk to Vero when she comes back. Maybe you're right that anyone in this world can tell Bailey what to do—anyone but us.”
