“I'm fine. Can't you see I'm alive and well?” Genevieve smiled nonchalantly, to which Johanna responded with an eye roll.
“I heard about what happened from Mr. Sutton. You acted too rashly, pulling dangerous stunts like this. Can't you have waited for Mr. Sutton to arrive? Don't you know your blood type is special? You really....” Johanna was angry. “Didn't you devise clever schemes when you were helping me teach Sylvie a lesson? Why did you act so irrationally this time? Your children had already lost their father. Do you want them to lose their mother, too?”
Johanna's lecture made Genevieve feel guilty. “Xavier called my brother to lure him to our location so he could kill both of us at the same time. I calculated the distance between the car and the tree, and I was also pretty confident I got the speed right, so I thought it would be fine...”
She didn't expect the reason Xavier was able to hide for that long was that Lillian's people were helping him.
They had always been keeping track of Xavier's every move.
Thus, they tried to run over her and kill her once they realized she wasn't dead yet.
Johanna's eyes were red from anger. “You thought? What if something worse happened to you? Mr. Sutton is very smart. Can't you just wait for him to come to you? I feel sorry for my daughter. She almost lost her mother-in-law so soon after she was born...”
“Fine, fine, I was wrong. I'll reflect on my mistakes,” Genevieve assured before changing the topic. “Did I bleed a lot?”
Johanna said in an exaggerated tone, “Oh, yeah. You lost so much blood that you almost went into shock! Thankfully, Mr. Sutton came prepared.”
Genevieve was puzzled. “Where did my brother get the blood?”
“Did you forget?” Johanna reminded, “Marilyn has the same blood type as you. I heard from Timothy that she was well taken care of when she was in jail before. The doctor would periodically draw her blood and store it in General Hospital's blood bank. Usually, blood can only be kept for a few months. However, her blood was kept inside a special container that could preserve it for years. I heard that thing cost nearly fifty million.”
She paused for a while before adding, “I think Mr. Faulkner loves you a lot, Genev, much like how you love him. He just didn't say anything about it.”
Armand would make thoughtful arrangements whenever it came to matters that concerned Genevieve.
Genevieve had forgotten how much she loved Armand. However, after she heard what her friend said, she thought about the time she had spent with him. Her heart immediately felt as though it was stabbed by a needle, and it was agonizing.
