Chapter 296


    “The Faulkner family thinks the world of a pure bloodline. Naturally, they won’t let anyone with a dirty


    past be in charge of Faulkner Group instead of them,” Armand said.


    Genevieve then scooped a mouthful of oatmeal and shoved it into his mouth beforementing in a


    cold tone, “We’re no longer under the monarchy system, but they’re still going on about bloodlines? Do


    they think that Xedells has a king and that they’re the royal family? With their way of thinking, that


    means they don’t take children of farmers and homeless as humans!”


    Armand nearly choked on the oatmeal.


    However, when he heard how Genevieve was concerned about him, he smiled. “I have my wife


    managing thepany for me and waiting for me to wake up. Why would I feel upset because of those


    people?”


    Genevieve ignored his sentence before shoving him another mouthful of oatmeal. “Of course, I’d wish


    that you’d wake up soon. Who wants to take care of you for the rest of my life?”


    Armand choked again.


    He then swallowed the oatmeal, but the taste that spread in his mouth was a bitter one.


    As Armand just woke and could not eat much, Genevieve only fed him half the bowl.


    After the meal, Armand told her that she could ask him questions if she had anything she could not


    understand at work. Indeed, Genevieve had encountered some issues, so she talked to him about a


    recent project that thepany was involved in.


    Armand immediately figured out what was the issue and gave Genevieve some guidance. His tips


    enlightened her.


    By the time they were done talking about the project, it was already noon.


    Armand did not stop Genevieve from leaving anymore. He only quietly said, “It’s going to be a long time


    before my sight recovers. Darling, go ahead and do anything you want. I’m no longer rted to the


    Faulkner family.”


    Thest part of his sentence seemed abrupt, and Genevieve wanted him to borate. However, in the


    end, she never voiced the question.


    Less than ten minutes after Genevieve left, Timothy came.


    With his hands in his pocket, Timothy stood by the side of the bed and asked, “Oh, Armand. Do you


    think Genevieve will get extremely mad if she finds out you were faking thea for the second half of

    the month?”


    “It’s best that you keep your mouth shut.” Armand narrowed his eyes. “Otherwise, it’ll be time for me to


    order you a coffin.”


    A chill ran down Timothy’s spine at that. Then, he pulled a chair over to take a seat. “After I left the


    hospital with Cooper, he asked me if I had any drug that can silently kill a baby in the womb. However,


    when we went to Marilyn’s ce, Genevieve decided to let Marilyn’s child off.”


    “Even if he doesn’t ask that from you, I would,” Armand told Timothy. “I lost two children. She’s still


    getting off easy by losing only one.”


    As Timothy caressed his chin, he shook his head and said, “Marilyn’s been dating you for so long, but it


    doesn’t seem to matter to you at all.”


    “I’m not the one she loves; she is only after power. Why else do you think she’d be able to change her


    mind so quickly and get together with Samuel?” A mocking smile grew on Armand’s lips. “I’ve given her


    everything she wanted for the past decade. If not for me, the Wood family would have to take almost


    another decade before they can reach the glorious state they’re in right now.”


    Back then, when he took off the gauze and saw the young woman in front of him, the upset he felt was


    almost indescribable.


    It felt like it was her but not at the same time.


    The best times he had with Marilyn were short. Perhaps those times were when he woke up in the


    morning and went to the balcony to listen to her practicing her violin.


    Hearing that, Timothy chuckled. “What a coincidence. Your wife said that to Marilynst night too.”


    Armand arched a brow. “What else did she say?”


    Right as Timothy was about to tell him, he recalled the unperturbed look Genevieve had back then, and


    he quickly changed the topic.


    “Your love rival has gone on a business trip abroad that will take around a month. Armand, it’s best that


    you spend this one month well. Even I can see that Genevieve’s heart isn’t here.” Timothy scratched


    his brow. “If she really leaves, it’s all over.”


    Armand pressed his lips tightly together.


    A long whileter, he asked Timothy, “Are there any ways to court a girl? A movie, maybe?”


    Timothy turned speechless.
