Chapter 683
It was four in the morning when Timothy transferred Genevieve to a single room. He told the
bodyguards not to disturb Genevieve’s rest for she would press the call button if she needed help.
The two bodyguards trusted Timothy’s words and nodded.
Within the hospital room, moonlight
shone through the blinds when Genevieve woke up feeling too hot. She pushed away the covers and
felt her throat itches after not having anything to drink for some time.
Suddenly, a pair of hands stretched out from her bedside and pulled the covers back up.
Genevieve opened her eyes dazedly and merely saw a tall figure in the dark. “I want water.”
The man poured her a glass of warm water and even inserted a straw for her.
After Genevieve soothed her parched throat, the man wiped the water remnants from the corners of
her lips. His cool fingers were like a jolt to Genevieve’s dazed mind.
“Who are you?” Genevieve opened her eyes wide, wanting to get a good look at him.
He’s not Jack. Jack won’t use woody cologne. Moreover, this man has a gentle yet cold amusement in
his green eyes. Those eyes are the eyes of a cold blooded killer. He’s hiding a lot of secrets that I don’t
understand, but I sense see some gentleness and care in there.

The man didn’t respond to her question. Instead, he pulled back the covers slightly and got on the bed.
As he lay beside Genevieve, his scent
engulfed her, calming her:
I think I know who he is; and this is all a dream. But, the water I drank, the heat emitted from his body,
and his scent all feel so real.
Genevieve turned her head to the man’s side and slowly fell asleep
against his warm chest.
When Genevieve woke up again, the sun was shining brightly outside. Feeling energized, she pressed
the call button on the wall.
Timothy arrived with a tray of food less than ten minutes later.
“I didn’t expect you to wake up right after Cooper left. He left at eleven earlier.” Timothy set a bowl of
warm oatmeal on the bed table and adjusted the bed slightly to make it easier for Genevieve to eat.
Genevieve was famished.
After a bagel and a few mouthfuls of oatmeal in her stomach, she finally asked, “Where’s Jack?”.
“He left for Dartan around midnight. I think he has an urgent work matter to handle back there.” Timothy

jerked his thumb toward the door. “He left two bodyguards outside.”
Soul-deep fear surged within Genevieve when she recalled Jack’s dark gaze and ruthless means at the
Regality Gardens the other day.
His brutality and overbearingness are getting worse. I want nothing more than to deal with Sylvie, then
take the kids back. I’m scared Jack will lead Lucian astray.
Noticing Genevieve’s pale face, Timothy was concerned. “Are you not feeling well?”
Genevieve shook her head and lowered it to have another spoon of oatmeal.
After she finished, she asked Timothy for a favor. “Please call Cooper for me and ask him to bring my
phone from the Regality Gardens after work.”
Timothy nodded and asked her, “Genevieve, do you want to visit Jojo later?”
Genevieve was stunned by his question. She heard about what happened to him after that.
Timothy had gone to Johanna’s room after his shift the other day. She told him a lot of things had run
through her mind when she was basking in the sun in the garden. She then told him they weren’t suited
for each other and wanted some time to think.
He thought she was joking, so he didn’t take her words seriously. He never expected her to block him

from entering her room.
When he got Cooper’s call, he had been persuading Johanna for quite a while through the door.
However, she didn’t even respond to him once. He felt wronged by her cold demeanor.
Timothy had thought long and hard after he returned to his office in the early morning, but he still had
no idea what he’d done to make her angry.
He went out that morning to buy
Johanna’s favorite breakfast and came up with an excuse to enter her room with the nurse. He tried
coaxing Johanna, but she merely frowned and stated, “I already told you yesterday. We’re not suited
for each other.”
“We’ve been married for four years and even had a child together. In what way do you think we’re not
suited for
each other?” Timothy assured, “You don’t have to worry about anything else. I’ll always take yours and
the baby’s side.”
Johanna said, “If you think loving someone is that easy, then why were you in so many relationships
before?”
