She took the phone out of the ward before answering the call, “Can't you just sleep at night, Sweetie?”
“But it's not time for bed yet.” Amanda whined, “I miss you so much, Mommy.”
“I miss you too,” Genevieve said sweetly.
She gave her daughter two kisses through the phone. “Daddy is hurt and I have to take care of him for some time, so I can't accompany you.”
Hearing that, Amanda asked anxiously, “Why is Daddy hurt? Is it serious?”
“Yes, very serious.” At the thought of Armand's gunshot wound, Genevieve's beautiful eyes narrowed.
She then asked gently, “Is Mr. Valentine home, Sweetie?”
“Yes. He came back today to have dinner with us!”
After chatting with her daughter, Genevieve walked to the window at the end of the corridor and dialed Jack's number.
The call soon got through. “What's up?” he asked with a smile.
“You have eyes all over Jadeborough. How's it possible that you don't know what happened?” Genevieve asked rhetorically, “Was that person sent by you?”
Jack fell silent for a moment. “Do you not trust me at all, Genev?”
She was rendered speechless.
“Yes. I know that you were kidnapped by Mr. Wasco's wife.” He continued, “But she's very cunning and knows how to take the road without surveillance. When my men finally found you guys, they saw you and Cooper taking Armand to the hospital. Only through them did I find out that he was injured. Since I've promised you, Genev, I will never break it.”
Genevieve held the phone in silence.
She knew that Jack was cruel and cunning to others, but he never once broke his promises to her.
She pursed her lips. “Knowing that it has nothing to do with you is enough.”
“I'll have someone take care of Mr. Wasco and his wife for you,” Jack said in a deep voice.
Although he was not at the scene and was unsure of what was going on, the fact that Armand was seriously injured alone meant that the matter was serious.
However, Genevieve turned him down. “No need. I'll take care of it myself.”
It wasn't Mr. Wasco and his wife who caused Armand's gunshot wound. Moreover, I don't like Jack handling matters by taking lives, no matter how big or small the matter was.
Their target was me, but why did they shoot Armand? When I was held hostage by Brenda, I was only a few steps away from the cliff. If they had shot me, I would have died undoubtedly.
