Chapter 511-520

Chapter 511 She Is Overconfident Narrowing his eyes, Armand asked Steven, “How did Old Mr. Zeigler find out about her?” “I heard the police in Dartan found out that the fingerprint of Sylvie’s mother is the same as Old Mr. Zeigler’s second daughter in their database. Thus, they notified the Zeigler family immediately. Sylvie and Old Mr. Zeigler went through a kinship test yesterday morning. The result came out last night, and it revealed that her mother is indeed Old Mr. Zeigler’s long-lost second daughter,” Steven elucidated. Armand turned to stare out of the window without asking anything further. Since Old Mr. Zeigler has gone through a kinship test with Sylvie, they are undoubtedly related. Herbert had been tracking down his daughter for a few decades. Now that he had reunited with his granddaughter instead, Armand could not help feeling that it might not be a mere coincidence. All of a sudden, a Rolls-Royce Ghost headed toward their direction and stopped next to their car. He noticed Jack telling the woman alongside him something and even raising his hand to ruffle her hair intimately. Recalling those few questions that Genevieve asked him the night before, Armand felt unbearable pain in his heart. Closing his eyes, he snorted inwardly. Hmph! What makes her think that I’ll still be waiting for her? How could she be so confident that she’s not replaceable by anyone else in my heart? Moments later, he retracted his gaze and did not spare the duo in the car next to him another glance. When the traffic light turned green, he urged Steven, “Drive!” The latter stepped on the accelerator respectfully in silence. Since Genevieve mentioned that she wanted to go to the hospital, Jack took her there. In the meantime, Jermaine headed downstairs to take something and bumped into Genevieve and Jack when they stepped out of the elevator. Jermaine locked his gaze on Genevieve’s face for a few seconds with an indecipherable emotion in his eyes before looking away hastily. Soon, he noticed how Jack was helping her to walk and asked with great concern, “Ms. Rachford, are you feeling unwell?” Genevieve shook her head. “My foot was accidentally cut by glass.” Seeing that her foot was well bandaged, Jermaine was finally at ease. “Ms. Rachford, could you please talk to Timothy? He hasn’t slept at all nor eaten anything since last night. He’ll surely collapse if he carries on,” he requested. “I know.” Genevieve nodded. After stepping into Johanna’s ward, Genevieve felt her heart wrenching when she saw the latter’s face was white as a sheet. It never crossed her mind that Johanna would set Sylvie up for her.

What a silly girl! After regaining her usual composure, Genevieve stretched out her hand to pat Timothy’s shoulder and uttered softly, “Timothy, you must have a rest and eat something.” “I have no appetite.” Timothy’s mind was blank; he was in low spirits. It never occurred to him that his wife, who had been enduring morning sickness and kept pleading with him coquettishly for ice cream, would suddenly end up lying unconscious in a patient’s bed. In actuality, Armand only sustained a mild brain injury previously. Timothy had helped him to mislead the others from the Faulkner family by exaggerating his condition. However, in Johanna’s case, her brain injury was more serious. He was left traumatized after he was abducted during his teenage years. Now that Johanna was severely injured and unconscious, he could not help but feel a rush of intense fear surging from within him. He dared not blink his eyes, scared that she would be gone forever in that brief instant. “How could you not eat anything? Do you intend to starve to death?” Genevieve snapped coldly, placing the food container into his hands forcefully. “You’ll only be able to take good care of your wife after taking a good rest. Bear in mind that she’s not alone; she’s still pregnant with your child, and both of them need you.” Timothy cast a look in the direction of Johanna’s flat tummy.

She’s right! There’s life growing in her womb. Johanna will be fine as long as it’s fine. At the thought, he eventually got a grip on himself and stood up. “Help me to keep an eye on her. I’ll go and take a rest.” Feeling relieved, Genevieve responded softly, “Go ahead.” After he left, she sat down at the edge of the bed and held Johanna’s hand. Her lips had barely parted before tears trickled down her cheeks. Jack backed off and stood near the window without interrupting them. Genevieve mumbled in a slightly raspy voice, “You have to wake up after getting enough sleep, okay? Didn’t you promise to help me look after my children, and you’ll let your daughter be my daughter-in-law? You must keep your words, okay? Don’t worry. I’ll take revenge for you.”

Chapter 512 Resentment Holding Johanna’s hand, she kept murmuring till her voice had gone hoarse. Timothy stepped into the ward again at six in the evening, looking refreshed after a shave. He stated, “I’ll hire two caretakers to take care of Jojo. Please drop by to visit her whenever you are free. She’ll be fine.” “Okay!” Seeing that Timothy had pulled himself together, Genevieve heaved a sigh of relief and left with Jack. Knowing that Genevieve had not taken much during lunch, Jack took her to Golden Restaurant after they left the hospital. Upon arriving, he requested a private room.

“I know you like to have meals here.” He handed her the menu. Genevieve only ordered two dishes at random as she did not have much appetite. “Jack, I can’t go back to Dartan with you at the moment. I need to wait for Jojo to regain her consciousness first.” She cut to the crap after the waiter left with their orders. Since Sylvie had the gut to strike at Johanna, she could not leave without first settling the score. Jack hummed approvingly. “It’s been years since I was last back in Chanaea. I can grab the opportunity for a short break too.” After sounding Genevieve out and seeing how she treated Armand indifferently in the cafe earlier, he was convinced that the drug he injected into her body previously was working.

Thus, there was nothing he needed to worry about. Not to mention, Genevieve had lost the bet. Jack accompanied Genevieve back to Regality Gardens after dinner. Shortly after, his car pulled to a halt in the basement car park. Still seated in his car, he turned to look at Genevieve. “Genev, are you still not willing to let me go up?” After much hesitation, she pursed her lips. “Let’s go.” Undeniably, she had been rejecting him for quite some time. Even if she still refused to let him enter her residence, she would still have to talk herself into getting used to him by her side after she was back in Dartan. Even so, she could not fathom the inexplicit resentment amid the emptiness in her heart. Why am I still feeling so, although the man who loves me is right in front of me? The following morning, Amanda called Genevieve again. Initially, Genevieve felt down in the dumps because of what had befallen Johanna. The moment she heard her daughter’s mellifluous voice, however, her heart melted. She even switched it into a video call. The little girl’s dainty face came into sight at once. She gazed at Genevieve with a glint of mischief in her eyes. Undoubtedly, she was a pretty little girl bearing a resemblance to Genevieve. Sprawling out on the carpet and wiggling her two chubby legs, Amanda kept her eyes glued to her mother as the woman made some coffee in the kitchen.

“Mommy, isn’t Daddy awake yet?” She loved chatting with Armand because he not only had an attractive voice but also sounded gentle. Even so, she dared not contact him for the past few days, assuming he was with her mother. Genevieve, who was pouring coffee at that moment, stiffened briefly before she cast her eyes down. With that, she explained gently, “Mandy, I can’t get along with your daddy. I’ll be marrying Mr. Valentine instead. I can assure you he’ll be a great father.” “Huh? Why can’t you get along with him?” Amanda asked quizzically, widening her eyes. Didn’t Mommy fly back to Dartan previously to prepare a birthday present for Daddy? She even took one of my drawings as she wanted to give it to him! How’s it possible that Daddy and Mommy suddenly can’t get along? Genevieve explained candidly, “Erm… I guess I’ve lost my feelings toward him. Mandy, our emotions are complicated and indescribable with words. There’s no point forcing ourselves to do something we don’t like. For instance, you don’t like to eat carrots, and I never force you on that either.” Hearing that, Amanda dropped her head gloomily, unable to comprehend what was going on. Didn’t Mommy talk about Daddy blissfully when we had a phone conversation previously?
