Chapter 543
After driving away from the hospital, Genevieve glanced at Bruce through the rear view mirror. He was wearing a black short-sleeved shirt with a letter on it. Even then, the black choker was still around his neck.
Curious, she queried, “Why do you like wearing that choker? Is it an accessory?”
“No, it’s to conceal the scar on my neck,” Bruce admitted.
“What kind of scar would be at the neck?” Genevieve grew all the more curious,
All of a sudden, something occurred to her. She stole another peek at the man through the rear view mirror
“I read on the news that you were in low spirits for some time after losing the court case against your girlfriend and seemingly developed depression. Don’t tell me you lost your mind and inflicted harm on yourself?”
“Yeah.” Bruce stretched his hands to the back of his neck, seemingly wanting to remove the black choker. “Would you like to see the scar, Ms. Rachford?”
“No!” Genevieve hastily stopped him from doing so.
In much embarrassment, she murmured, “Pardon my slip of the tongue earlier. I wasn’t deliberately reopening old wounds.”
“It’s okay. All that has long since passed.” As Bruce spoke, he coughed again. Following that, he wound down the car window fully for the air to ventilate, lest Genevieve got infected.
However, Bruce swayed slightly on his feet when alighting from the car, seemingly very much unwell. Thus, she decided to go the extra mile and went over to support him, entering the condominium with him.
When Genevieve/saw him swiping his access card for the twenty-third floor, she asked, “Did you buy this condominium?”
In response, Bruce lamented helplessly, “How could I afford it when it’s so expensive? One of my classmates is very rich. He has gone abroad to work, so he’s lending me his condominium for the time being.”
