When Bailey was walking down the stairs, she saw Felicity all covered up in disguise and smiling back at her from the main entrance.

“What are you doing?” Bailey asked.

“I'm going to the Revelle residence with you! My son told me to look after you. He reminded me to keep you at home before he left. However, you're in a rush to save someone's life, so I can't possibly stop you from leaving. Hence, I decided to tag along.”

Bailey pinched Felicity's cheek gently and laughed. “All right, Mom. That's enough. It's so cold outside. How can I let you come with me?”

“Since it's so cold outside, perhaps you should stay in as well.”

Err...

Bailey knew there was no talking Felicity out of it, so she had no choice but to nod reluctantly. “Okay. The longer we wait, the bigger the risk Vero is taking. I can't afford to convince you otherwise. Let's go!”

“That's more like it! If you don't let me tag along, I'm not letting you leave!”

“All right, Mrs. Luther. Stop putting up a haughty act despite having an advantage. You're making someone hate you!”

“Oh, Bay!”

...


Meanwhile, Bill and Yvonne were waiting impatiently outside the infirmary at the Revelle residence. Needless to say, they both looked extremely worried.

Suddenly, they heard a set of footsteps in the corridor, and they both turned around at the same time. There, they saw Bailey approaching, and they immediately went up to her.

“You're here, Bay!”

With that, Bill turned toward Felicity and apologized, “I'm sorry to have troubled you.”

“Don't worry about it. Who can I blame for having such a capable daughter-in-law? Let's talk some other time. Bay, go in and check on the patient. Quick!” Felicity urged.

Bailey nodded and rushed into the emergency room.

Bill let out a sigh as he gazed at Bailey's back. “She's such a nice girl. Although she's kind, her life is filled with hardship and challenges. It's heartbreaking to see what she has to go through in life.”

Felicity chimed in, “You're absolutely right! I was foolish back then for making things difficult for her. However, Bay never held a grudge. Instead, she's even treating me as her mother. Now, she has the Luther family backing her, and no one can touch her. We are dismissing all the gossip and rumors out there.”

“I'm glad you think that way. You're blessed to have found such an incredible daughter-in-law.”

“Yes. I'm blessed. I'm so thankful for the fact that I saw Bay in a new light. Otherwise, I would've missed out on such an amazing daughter-in-law. Wait. No. She's my daughter now. From now on, I'm going to treat her as my own daughter.”

...

After Bailey changed into a clean coverall, she entered the operating room and saw Justin standing beside the operating table in a daze. At the same time, there were several experts engaged in a discussion.

Bailey walked toward Justin and patted his shoulder. “Hey! Wake up!”

Justin turned around and saw Bailey. “What are you doing here?”

Instead of answering him, Bailey pointed at the unconscious Veronique with her chin and asked, “What's the situation?”

Justin nodded. “The cancer cells have begun to spread to other organs, and we are discussing what kind of drugs to inject to slow the spread.”

Bailey took the CT image and scanned it. With a frown, she said, “The spread is faster than I expected. What do you think we should do next?”

Justin held his forehead and sighed. “What else can we do apart from using drugs to slow down the spread of cancer cells? Although it's just a temporary fix, we can at least give her more time.”
