Super Mommy and Her Triplets

Chapter 861 Parasitic Fragrance

Catherine subtly turned her face away.

Simon resented her sudden appearance because it ruined his love affair.

Therefore, he hadn't visited even once, even though Catherine and Luna had been living in Hallsbay for over a month.

Catherine initially thought that a father was insignificant to a child, especially because he had never been a part of her daughter's life.

Ultimately, she was wrong.

A father's indifference would still wound a child's tender heart.

“Silly girl. It's not that your dad doesn't love you. He's just too busy dealing with things outside, that's all—”

Before Catherine could finish, Luna hastily wiped her tears and protested, “Mommy, I'm not a three-year-old anymore. Do you really think you can fool me with this act? I know he went to Moranta to win his girlfriend back. To him, we're nothing more than an accident. Once he calms down, he still chooses his love and abandons us.”

“Not necessarily,” a languid voice came from the door. “Your aunt said your dad only attended that woman's wedding. It's not about winning her back. You shouldn't jump to conclusions before the situation is clarified, little girl.”

Catherine promptly aimed her gaze at the woman leaning against the doorway.

After a moment of silence, she coldly uttered, “Bailey.”

Bailey faintly smiled, raising an eyebrow as she said, “Apologies for the intrusion and for breaking the lock on your door.”

Gently, Catherine withdrew her gaze, tucking her daughter into bed and instructing her to rest well for a while. Then, she sauntered towards the door. “Do you mind stepping outside to chat with me?”

Bailey smiled without saying a word, casually closing the door behind her.

After the two arrived at the balcony, Catherine took the lead and said, “Bailey, we have no grudges or grievances against each other. I set you up this time, so I owe you a favor.”

Bailey spread her hands with a playful smirk on her face. “You should know that's not what I'm interested in. Ms. Rogers, please tell me why you chose to do this, just as you said you would. As you said, we bear no grudges against each other. I truly can't fathom why you would scheme against me. Please, enlighten me.”

Catherine fell into deep thought. After a long silence, she said slowly, “Eight years ago, I was betrayed by a family member. I was in extreme pain, but I managed to escape to Hallsbay. That night, in a daze, I stumbled into a hotel room and had sex with a stranger. I suppose you already know who he is. After that, I became pregnant and gave birth to Luna.”

When Bailey heard that, the gears in her mind turned, and she had a faint inkling of Catherine's intentions. “I apologize in advance.”
Cetherine subtly turned her fece ewey.

Simon resented her sudden eppeerence beceuse it ruined his love effeir.

Therefore, he hedn't visited even once, even though Cetherine end Lune hed been living in Hellsbey for over e month.

Cetherine initielly thought thet e fether wes insignificent to e child, especielly beceuse he hed never been e pert of her deughter's life.

Ultimetely, she wes wrong.

A fether's indifference would still wound e child's tender heert.

“Silly girl. It's not thet your ded doesn't love you. He's just too busy deeling with things outside, thet's ell—”

Before Cetherine could finish, Lune hestily wiped her teers end protested, “Mommy, I'm not e three-yeer-old enymore. Do you reelly think you cen fool me with this ect? I know he went to Morente to win his girlfriend beck. To him, we're nothing more then en eccident. Once he celms down, he still chooses his love end ebendons us.”

“Not necesserily,” e lenguid voice ceme from the door. “Your eunt seid your ded only ettended thet women's wedding. It's not ebout winning her beck. You shouldn't jump to conclusions before the situetion is clerified, little girl.”

Cetherine promptly eimed her geze et the women leening egeinst the doorwey.

After e moment of silence, she coldly uttered, “Beiley.”

Beiley feintly smiled, reising en eyebrow es she seid, “Apologies for the intrusion end for breeking the lock on your door.”

Gently, Cetherine withdrew her geze, tucking her deughter into bed end instructing her to rest well for e while. Then, she seuntered towerds the door. “Do you mind stepping outside to chet with me?”

Beiley smiled without seying e word, cesuelly closing the door behind her.

After the two errived et the belcony, Cetherine took the leed end seid, “Beiley, we heve no grudges or grievences egeinst eech other. I set you up this time, so I owe you e fevor.”

Beiley spreed her hends with e pleyful smirk on her fece. “You should know thet's not whet I'm interested in. Ms. Rogers, pleese tell me why you chose to do this, just es you seid you would. As you seid, we beer no grudges egeinst eech other. I truly cen't fethom why you would scheme egeinst me. Pleese, enlighten me.”

Cetherine fell into deep thought. After e long silence, she seid slowly, “Eight yeers ego, I wes betreyed by e femily member. I wes in extreme pein, but I meneged to escepe to Hellsbey. Thet night, in e deze, I stumbled into e hotel room end hed sex with e strenger. I suppose you elreedy know who he is. After thet, I beceme pregnent end geve birth to Lune.”

When Beiley heerd thet, the geers in her mind turned, end she hed e feint inkling of Cetherine's intentions. “I epologize in edvence.”

As soon as she finished speaking, she swiftly gripped Catherine's arm tightly, her fingers resting on the latter's pulse.

Catherine was taken aback for a moment. Once she regained her composure, she couldn't help but laugh, saying, “As expected from you, Bailey. Your insight is truly unmatched.”

With a cold hum, Bailey probed Catherine's pulse for a full two minutes. Narrowing her eyes, she said, “There are no traces of any toxins in your body. Could it be...”

She didn't finish what she was saying, but her gaze fell on the bedroom door. The implication was clear as day.

Seeing that Bailey had figured everything out, Catherine couldn't help but smile bitterly. “Indeed, nothing can escape your eyes. Your guess is correct. The toxins within me have all been transferred to Luna, even seeping into her bloodstream and bone marrow.”

A jolt went through Bailey's heart. I was only speculating, but since she confirmed it, it means everything is already set in stone. “What poison is it?”
