Chapter 849
Yuvan quietly stood there and listened to Herbert talk to Genevieve. For a moment, he felt that it was as if Genevieve was Herbert's granddaughter, for they seemed to be comfortable around each other as if they were a family.
Yuvan did not think that any random person would be able to lift Herbert's spirits.
A thought entered his head at that, and Yuvan discreetly went out to make a call.
In the meantime, Genevieve stood up to get the flask from the table. However, she spotted something hidden in the fresh bouquet of flowers.
After she parted the flowers, she took out the tiny black object stuck in the middle of the bouquet.
It seemed like it was a tapping device.
Genevieve's eyes darkened. Then, she excused herself by telling Herbert that she was going to the restroom. Upon stepping out of the room, she handed the device to Steven.
“Someone might have placed it in the bouquet and found a way to bring the flowers into General Zeigler's room,” Steven deduced.
Everyone knew that Herbert did not have long to live, and everyone focused on his three sons, who were all in high-ranking positions.
The moment Herbert died, the political scene in Baykeep would change.
Genevieve did not know politics, but the idea that many people were waiting for an old man to die and the Zeigler family to fall from grace was one that sent shivers down her spine.
“Tell Dr. Salmond that he'll be in charge of Old Mr. Zeigler while the latter is hospitalized here. Remind him not to hand Old Mr. Zeigler over to another doctor.” Raphael Salmond was one of Timothy's men, so Genevieve could trust him. “I'll be in Baykeep for a while longer.”
Steven was baffled, thinking that Genevieve was being too nice to Herbert, but he did not say anything about it.
A black Chevrolet was silently stopped at the side of the road outside the north entrance of the hospital.
All of a sudden, the driver took out his wireless earphones and turned around to report to the man behind him, “The tapping device in the ward has been discovered.”
