Chapter 558 I Will Protect Her Well


    Fantasy Film Festivalsted for three days. Besides having to perform in the film festival''s opening


    ceremony, Genevieve was also the guest of honor during the awards ceremony. Other than that, since


    the housekeeper only had two days left to live, she decided to stay for a few more days in Baykeep.


    For the past two days, she avoided any interaction with Bruce and explored Baykeep with Jane.


    However, Jane was feeling down the entire time.


    The opening ceremony of most film festivals was grander, so Genevieve dressed in a ck suit on the


    night of the awards ceremony.


    She was even invited to present the award for Best Supporting Actress, and coincidentally, Coco was


    the one who won it.


    Upon seeing Genevieve, Coco recalled how thetter pressed her head into the sink that night, causing

    her to grit her teeth out of fear and anger.


    However, she was an actress. Her vengeful re toward Genevievested only a second before she


    beamed as she turned to the audience and gave her speech.


    After the awards ceremony, Genevieve left with the others.


    Right after she walked out of the venue, she received a call from the hospital, learning that her


    housekeeper was dying. She walked over to the elevator in a hurry and bumped into Bruce.


    At that time, Bruce was talking to Joash. When the former saw her, he froze and quickly turned his


    head.


    Genevieve remembered that she had not replied to his message on WhatsApp that night. Since then,


    he had stopped disturbing her.


    Although he understandingly avoided her, it made her feel guilty. She felt that she had done something


    wrong.


    Walking closer to the elevator, she took the initiative and asked him, “Aren''t you filming here? Did you


    rent a car? I have to go to the hospital for a while. Can I borrow your car?”


    Bruce''s eyes glinted when he smelled wine off her body. “You drank earlier, so you can''t drive now. I''ll


    get Joash to send you there.”


    She nodded. “Thanks.”


    Once the door of the elevator opened, they walked into it.


    As Bruce''s minivan was parked in the open-air parking lot at the resort, Joash hastily went to drive the


    minivan over. Meanwhile, Genevieve asked Bruce to follow him to the hospital, saying she needed his


    help.


    On the way to the hospital, Genevieve said, “I''ve been swamped with work these few days, and there


    were too many messages on WhatsApp. I might''ve missed yours out.”


    “It''s okay. I''ve been busy these two days with filming too,” Bruce replied.


    She felt relieved that he was speaking normally and did not look mad. “The elder I''m going to visit is my


    friend, but she''s dying. I hope she can feel at ease as she takes herst few breaths, soter, please


    follow me into the ward and let her see you.”


    “Okay.”


    Once they reached the hospital, Genevieve hurriedly brought Bruce to the inpatient department.


    The elder''splexion was worse than how she looked when Genevieve visited her two days ago.


    Shey on the bed quietly as she closed her eyes. It was as if she was waiting for death to arrive.


    Genevieve walked over to the sickbed and held the elder''s hand as she bent over to talk to thetter.


    “Pe,” she called out gently.


    Hearing that, Pe opened her eyesboriously.


    Genevieve pulled Bruce over without saying anything.


    When Pe saw him, her eyes suddenly lit up faintly. “Y-You''re here...”


    As death was near, Genevieve thought Pe had mistaken Bruce for Armand. Therefore, Genevieve


    said to Bruce, “She looks like she wishes to talk to you. Help me keep herpany for a while, would


    you?”


    After that, she left the ward.


    Pe raised her trembling hand and pointed at Bruce while breathing weakly. “Your eyes are as


    beautiful as Ms. Valentine''s. I knew who you are right away.”


    Suddenly, Bruce knew who she was. “Is Genev the one who found you?”


    Pe nodded with effort and smiled faintly. “After Ms. Valentine died, I med myself, and I''ve been


    living in atonement ever since. Ms. Rachford told me Ms. Valentine was still alive, and you were taken


    to the Faulkner family. But didn''t you die in a ne crash?”


    She looked at him, puzzled.


    Before Bruce could reply, she continued, “It doesn''t matter who you are now, as long as you''re alive.


    That''s what matters.”


    When Bruce noticed Pe''s weakening breathing, he hurriedly pressed the emergency button.


    Seeing as she lifted her hand, Bruce leaned into her and held her hand. He put his ear to her face so


    that he could hear her clearly.


    Pe continued, “Ms. Rachford is a gooddy. Don''t be like your father...”


    “Yeah. I know. I''m really lucky to have met a woman who loves me so much. I love her too, and I''ll


    protect her well,” Bruce replied softly.


    Hearing Bruce''s promise, Pe felt relieved. She did not have any regrets anymore. With that, she


    closed her eyes peacefully.
