“Yes, if the real daughter returns to the family, then will the imposter have to give up her place?”

“Will the Shurmer family kick Zoey out?”

“Are you planning to send her overseas, away from the Shurmer family?”

“Mr. Shurmer, please answer our questions.”

Steven's fists balled up.

I'm sorry, Bay. I have no choice but to do this. After I obtain the evidence and resolve the danger surrounding you, I'll explain everything to you personally.

“Why would I kick out my adoptive daughter, Zoey Shurmer, when she has done nothing wrong? Can't she stay with us even when my biological daughter returns?”

“Can't she stay with us even when my biological daughter returns?”

Bailey, who was leaning against the hospital bed, heard his words loud and clear. Her lips curled into a strange smile.

As she stared at the TV screen, her gaze slowly turned cold.

Zayron ran over and hurriedly switched off the TV, offering her a sheepish smile. “Bailey, remember you said he's a scum? Don't take it too seriously and think of it as just a show.”

Ugh, why did I switch on the TV? I thought my granddad would do the right thing, but the scum ended up provoking Bailey with his words.

Sensing Bailey's displeasure, Susan quickly climbed into bed and flung her arms around her mother.

“Mommy, remember how you said that we make you happy? Well, I'm right here in front of you. Will seeing me make you feel better?”

Bailey lowered her head and pressed a kiss to Susan's forehead.

Right then, the door was pushed open to reveal Zeke, who walked into the ward.


Zayron rushed over to him, his anger boiling over. “Don't you ever bring your scummy father around Bailey again! Bailey doesn't need her father when she has Artemis and me. Your family is too wealthy, and we are not worthy of being associated with you. Don't use the title of the Shurmer family's daughter to impress us. We love Bailey for who she is, and she doesn't need your family's wealth to make her better.”

Zeke laughed heartily and then turned his gaze to Bailey as he nodded. “All right, I promise not to bring them to your mother again. I'll make sure they won't upset her anymore. I've had time to think, and I've realized that your father can provide for her, so it doesn't matter whether or not she has her family's support. And if needed, I can support her as well. That's what really matters.”

Slowly, Bailey raised her head and met Zeke's gaze.

She could see the adoration in his gaze, and it was clear he adored her as a younger sister.

A soft chuckle escaped her lips.

I'm not willing to give up my brother, but that's all. I'm not interested in anything else.

“Zeke, where is Artemis?”

Zeke went over to the bed and wrapped his arms around her and Susan.

“He got drunk last night from drinking too much alcohol and is still asleep.”

Hearing that, Bailey furrowed her brows.

Alcohol was bad for one's health.

Zeke added, “Don't worry about him. He has been through a lot. If he cannot even handle this pressure, I might reconsider handing you to him.”

Bailey refrained from further inquiries as she knew Artemis wouldn't bring harm to himself. Instead, she shifted the conversation and asked, “How is Edmund holding up?”

“He was running a fever last night, but his fever has already subsided now.”

Bailey shoved both him and Susan away before rolling to the side and attempting to get off the bed.

“I'll have to pay him a visit. Last night, the doctor gave me a sedative, so I slept soundly and forgot to check on him.”

Zeke knew it was pointless for him to persuade her to change her mind as she was worried about Edmund, so he quickly reached out to help her.

“All right. I'll come with you.”

In another ward, Wendy finally regained consciousness.

When her eyes fluttered open, she saw a man sprawled at the side of her bed.

From his side profile, she could see he wasn't sleeping well as his brows were furrowed.

Seized by a sudden impulse, Wendy raised her arm weakly and brushed her hand across his stony features.

The man wasn't sleeping soundly, so he immediately opened his eyes upon sensing her action.

Caught by surprise, Wendy tried to retract her hand, but it was too late as he had already grabbed her wrist.

“L-Let me go!”

Holden disregarded her and spoke in a husky voice. “I took the medicine to restore my memory last night, and it worked. I've remembered everything now. I'm here, in front of you. Don't you have any questions for me?”

Wendy stared at him in a daze.
