Chapter 574 Not Your Child
Am I ready for it? Well, at this point, what else can I do? I've already been told that Zeke and Shirley have officiated
their marriage. It's obvious that I don't belong in his world. If I expect too much, I'm just going to trouble others and
myself. I might as well forget about it and focus on the Hoffman family. Juliana considered the child as the best gift
from God because the child would keep her company for the rest of her life. I shouldn't be greedy. The more I want,
the more I'll lose in the process.
“Thank you, Huntley. Although I don't know why you would help me, I know you don't have any evil intentions. I
thank God for sending you when I was at my lowest. If not for you, I'm afraid I would've already aborted this child,”
Juliana uttered.
In response, Huntley couldn't help but chuckle. I also met her when I was at my lowest. She's the reason I'm here
today.
“You ought to stop overthinking and be careful in the next few days. I'm afraid that Mr. Raymond might come after
the child in your belly. After all, he's not amused to see you pregnant with my child. He's afraid that he'll lose control
over me after I've bonded with you. Therefore, he'll keep coming up with ways to tear us apart. You must look after
yourself,” Huntley said.
“Okay. I will. You should do the same.”

Early the next day in the private airport in the Luther residence, Artemis was tidying up Bailey's trench coat and
urging, “Please stay in over the next few days. If you need anything done, get Ken to do it for you. I'm leaving him
here, so stop doing everything yourself. As for the anti-cancer medication research, you can bring the machines
home. Don't leave home. Do you hear me?”
Bailey nodded with a smile. “Don't worry. Why are you talking to me as if I were a child?”
Artemis then bent over to carry his daughter up into his arms. While caressing her head, he smiled and reminded
her, “Stay home and keep your mommy company. If you need anything, call me. I'll bring back what you need from
overseas.”
Instead of answering, Susan snuggled in Artemis' embrace and giggled.
Seeing that, Zayron pouted and gritted his teeth. “Are you guys done? One of you is all over the daughter while the
other one is showering the eldest son with love. Did you pick me up from the bin?”
Bailey immediately reached out her hand to smack the back of Zayron's head. “When you released the snakes and
injured dozens of people, I paid for all the victims' medical fees! Would I have done that if I picked you up from the
bin?”
Zayron was rendered speechless.
Artemis, on the other hand, narrowed his eyes and gazed at Zayron. In a deep voice, he said, “Your grandparents
are old, and your mommy isn't feeling well. Stop fooling around and making them mad.”
Zayron rolled his eyes and wanted to refute.
Right then, a chuckle rang out from behind. “Let Zayron come with me. I'm very fond of this child. Who knows? He
might end up leading the Shurmer family in the future.”
Everyone turned in the direction of the voice and saw Zeke walking toward them with an umbrella in his hand.
Zayron instantly ran toward Zeke and greeted him, “Hi, Uncle Zeke!”
Zeke threw his umbrella aside and carried Zayron in his arms. “It's all right. If they don't want you, I want you! I'll
take you around from now on.”
With that, Zeke raised his gaze toward Artemis and said, “Be at ease, okay? I'll take care of Bay and the kids. Don't
worry.”
Artemis lowered his gaze to check his watch and nodded. “Okay. It's getting late, so I need to board the plane. Don't
stay here, you guys. It's cold out here. Go back into the Luther residence.”
“I don't mind. I'll watch you board the plane, and I'll only go back in after your flight has taken off.”
Instead of answering, Susan snuggled in Artemis' embrace and giggled.
Artemis didn't insist. He then put Susan down, kissed Bailey's forehead, and strode toward the boarding gate.
“He'll return safely,” Zeke said.
Upon hearing those words, Bailey retracted her gaze and smiled at Zeke. “I know. That's because he's not going to
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmleave his family behind.”
With that, she glanced at her kids and uttered gently, “I have something to talk about with Zeke. You guys should
head back in so that you won't catch a cold.”
As Zayron was walking away, he said, “Uncle Zeke, I'll pack up and go to the Shurmer residence with you. I would
like to see what exactly the Shurmer family has. Since they look down on Mommy, I'll make sure they'll never
prosper.”
Zeke smiled and nodded. “Sure. Pack some clothes then.”
Bailey couldn't help but frown and ask tentatively, “Does anyone in the Shurmer family have a history of heart
disease?”
Bailey was worried that the moment Zayron entered the Shurmer residence, the two older ones in the Shurmer
residence would end up in the hospital.
“None of them has a history of heart disease, but there's one unstable pregnant woman there. Even before Zayron
mentioned it, I was already planning to bring him there to wreak havoc.”
Bailey giggled and replied, “You're so evil, Mr. Shurmer. Zayron is capable of causing a fire in the Shurmer
residence in the middle of the night. Such a traumatic event can actually cause a miscarriage for the unstable
pregnant woman. You're willing to do whatever it takes to get what you want, aren't you?”
Zeke's expression turned grim, and he uttered casually, “Well, that kid isn't supposed to exist.”
Stunned, Bailey asked with her brows furrowed, “It's not? Is that not your child?”
