When Genevieve went back into the ward with a doctor and a nurse, Perla had already passed away.
The doctor asked the nurse to note Perla's time of death and said to Genevieve, “She left in peace. You should plan her funeral now.”
After a minute, the doctor and the nurse left.
Genevieve noticed Perla's faint smile, so she guessed that Perla had a good chat with Bruce earlier, and she secretly let out a breath of relief.
If Perla left without any regrets, a little lie is nothing.
After they left the ward, Genevieve thanked Bruce, “Thank you for what you did earlier. You should go back to the resort first. I'll deal with the rest.”
“I took a look at the nurse's report earlier. She seemed to be hospitalized for a few days now. Ms. Rachford, is this what you were talking about when you said you had things to take care of in Baykeep?” Bruce asked in a hoarse and low voice.
“Yeah,” Genevieve replied. “She didn't have children, so she asked me to help her with her matters after she passed.”
Bruce felt a lump in his throat. After a while, he said, “Let Joash handle it. He's a local in Baykeep. I think he has relatives who are engaged in funeral work.”
With that, he dialed Joash's number and called the latter to go upstairs.
Indeed, Joash had a cousin who was engaged in funeral work. When he learned that Bruce was calling him about Perla's funeral, he called his cousin immediately.
Seeing that Bruce had gotten everything in order in an instant, Genevieve had no reason to reject his help.
It was too late, and the body needed to be cremated and buried the following morning. Therefore, Genevieve went back to the resort with him.
Bruce was staying in the hotel that night, but his room was not on the same floor as hers.
When she was about to get out of the elevator, she suddenly thought of something. Turning around, she said to Joash, “Send me your cousin's account number. I'll pay him.”
Since arrangements had been made, she did not need to go to the hospital the following day.
Joash waved his hand. “Don't worry about it, Ms. Rachford. My cousin has a partnership with a cemetery, so it doesn't cost much. Please go and get some sleep.”
Genevieve accepted his help and smiled. “Okay. I'll triple your bonus at the end of the year.”
“Okay. Thank you, Ms. Rachford!”
Joash was delighted when he thought about the bonus he would receive at the end of the year. However, when he pressed the button to close the elevator door, he realized that it turned frosty in the elevator because of a certain man.
It was the first time Joash had seen Bruce that way, so he was terrified. “M-Mr. Gable, what's wrong?”
