Chapter 507 You Are Being Too Courteous Genevieve considered for a moment before saying, “He has to work hard for what he wants in the future. Moreover, Helt Corporation is yours. It has nothing to do with him.” She hoped her children would grow up happily. Jack sighed, implying his respect for Genevieve’s decision. Then, he looked at her and asked, “Genev, can we have a baby after our wedding?” However, Genevieve’s phone rang before she could answer him. She was thankful that the phone call allowed her to escape the awkward situation. Thus, she answered it immediately and realized it was from Cooper. “Coop, what’s the matter?” Genevieve’s expression went pale as she listened to Cooper’s explanation. She got up urgently and replied, “Is it General Hospital? I’m heading there now!”
Jack stood up too and asked, “What’s wrong?” “Coop called to inform me that Jojo has been hospitalized,” Genevieve answered urgently and rushed out of the room. Then, she and Jack got into a car and headed to General Hospital. At the hospital, Genevieve asked the staff and became more anxious, knowing that Johanna was in the ICU. As she was nearing the ICU, she saw Cooper and Jermaine standing outside a patient’s room. Thus, she rushed to them and asked, “Coop, how’s Jojo?” Cooper was about to answer when he noticed Jack behind her and narrowed his eyes. Then, he said solemnly, “She suffered a heavy blow to her head. The doctors spent six hours in surgery and managed to save her and the baby, but… she might never wake up again.” Genevieve nearly collapsed from the news.
She opened her mouth but could not say anything for a long time. Then, she stood stunned as she looked through the glass window at Johanna lying in bed with thick bandages around her head, and Timothy sitting by Johanna’s side. It was some time before Genevieve could recover her voice. “How did she get injured?” Johanna left the production company with me last night. She said she would be heading to Twitter Awards Ceremony with the assistant manager. How did this happen? “Someone attacked her from behind,” Jermaine answered. Jermaine was on shift at the hospital last night. He was the first to know Johanna had been sent to his hospital and brought her to the emergency department.
Then, Jermaine continued, “I contacted the person who called the emergency numbers last night. He was on his way to a residential area when he saw a woman lying on the ground, bleeding from her head. Also, Mr. Faulkner had his people check the surveillance footage of that residential area. However, Johanna had gone into the surveillance cameras’ blind spot. Furthermore, the police have investigated around the residential area, but they believe it would be hard to find the perpetrator.” Genevieve pinched her hand so hard that her fingernail nearly cut into her palm. Johanna is not an influential business person and doesn’t have any risky dealing. It is unlikely for her to offend anyone. Why would someone attack her? “She will be fine.” Genevieve looked at Johanna in the ward and said softly, “Previously, Armand also suffered severe head injuries, and the doctor said he was unlikely to wake up. Yet, he still regained consciousness.” He woke up after more than a month. Jermaine shook his head and dashed Genevieve’s hope. “I’ve seen Mr. Faulkner’s medical report. Her condition is worse than Mr. Faulkner’s.” Since Genevieve could not understand complicated medical terms, Jermaine could only explain Johanna’s condition briefly.
“Ms. Rachford, I believe you know that the cerebrum enables thinking and reasoning. Even slight damage is detrimental to a person. Unfortunately, Johanna’s cerebrum is severely damaged.” After a slight pause, Jermaine continued, “She is only unconscious now. However, there is a possibility that she could fall into a coma or lose the ability to breathe independently—” “No, that won’t happen,” Genevieve interrupted Jermaine. “She is pregnant. She must not die!” I saved Johanna from that hellish place and know her emotional scars. It was difficult for her to learn to trust Timothy and come this far with him. Furthermore, Johanna said she wanted to help me care for my children. She can’t die yet! Genevieve calmed her emotions and turned to Jack.
“Jack, I know you have extensive connections. Can you help me to find the best neurosurgeon and ask them to come to Chanaea? I am willing to spend any amount of money as long as Jojo can wake up again.” Jack caressed her cheek with his fingers and smiled. “Genev, you are my wife. You don’t have to be so courteous with me.” Cooper was astute and noticed Genevieve turn her face away slightly from Jack’s intimate gesture. It seemed she was unused to his touch. It confirmed his previous guess. Genevieve did not marry Jack out of love but due to something.
