Chapter 638
When Genevieve had fainted in Dartan, the doctor had also put in a great clfort to rescue her. At the time, the doctors had almost given up on her and were on the verge of declaring her death.
“This is all my fault,” said Bruce as he stared at the unconscious woman on the bed through the glass window. He was heartbroken and filled with guilt.
He knew he had to stay away from Genevieve, but he truly wanted to be with her. Who would’ve thought that Genevieve would fall for him within such a short time?
Bruce gritted his teeth. “I’d rather he kept Genevieve luidden in Dartan than to have him give her such a cruel poison.”
Steven had dealt with Jack before and know how cruel the latter was. Jack would destroy what he couldn’t have.
Perhaps it was because Jack kucw that Genevieve would still love Armand, even if she were to lose that bet. He realized that she would never love him, so he made it so that she could never love anyone ever again.
The second she fell for someone, she would die.
About ten minutes later, Cooper’s call came. He sounded nervous and worried when he asked, “Steven, how is Genev?”
“She’s fine, but she’s still unconscious,” answered Steven.
Cooper stared at Genevieve for a long time. He was scared out of his mind when he first heard from Steven that the doctors worked for thirty minutes before Genevieve’s heart began beating again.
Earlier, he hadn’t quite believed Steven when the latter shared the truth. The situation at the time convinced him completely.
He turned his attention to Bruce and curiously asked, “You’re assuming another man’s identity, so how could Genev have fallen for you? Or perhaps she has fallen for the actual actor instead?”
Bruce had a similar suspicion, but hearing Cooper say that Genevieve might be in love with someone else annoyed him to no end.
Bruce replied, “I never pretend to be someone else when I am with Genev, so the man she loves should still be me.”
Cooper Avas decp in thoughts for a few seconds, but he eventually agreed with Bruce’s statement.
Genevieve had spent that much time with Jack, but she never fell for him. That proved she wasn’t the kind of woman who would easily fall for another man.
However, now that the man before him turned out to be Armand, it was not surprising that she would fall for him again.
Cooper’s guze turned grim. His tone was stern when he pointed out, “I wish that you and Genev could stay together, but you saw how things turn out. The longer you stay with her, the more she’d rely on you.”
Bruce thought about Gencvicvc’s dying state a few liours ago. That hurt liim so much that he couldn’t brcathe,
He closed his cyes and bitterly promised, “I will not see her again… At least not until the doctor finds a cure for her.”
He would not wish to put Genevieve in harm’s way because of his recklessness.
When Cooperlicard Bruce mentioning the cure, hic recalled something. “A few days ago, I received some news about the doctor who once worked in the research facility that created the poison. Someone saw the doctor in Saspiuburg.”
Bruce immediately asked, “Which part of Saspiuburg? Did your men manage to locate him?”
“Not yet,” answered Cooper. He massaged his temple in frustration and was burdened as well. “The doctor only showed up for a short time in the surveillance footage. No one knows where the doctor went after that.”
Bruce had Steven send some men to Saspiuburg and demanded that they locate the doctor.
He would not give up on any shred of hope.
“Locating the doctor is not the most important task at hand. Genevieve comes first,” said Cooper as he looked at Genevieve in the ward. “You can stay away from her, but she already developed feelings for you. We have to deal with that first.”
Genevieve woke up the following morning and saw Cooper staying by her side. He was working on his phone at the time.
“I’m fine, Coop. You should go back to work,” informed Genevieve as she sat up.
