Chapter 849


    Chapter 849 I Do Not Want Trouble


    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 befortable 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 sk from the table. However, she spotted something


    hidden in the fresh bouquet of flowers.


    After she parted the flowers, she took out the tiny ck 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 ced 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 thetter 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 ck 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.”


    The one in the back seat was a man who had his legs crossed. Behind his messy ck fringe was a


    pair of rare and gentle purple eyes, but there was no warmth to be seen in his eyes at all. Instead, one


    would develop goosebumps upon looking at his eyes.


    That man was the man Genevieve identally bumped into two days ago at Weske Park—Zephyr


    Juksford.


    Upon hearing the driver, Zephyr raised a brow and asked, “Is General Zeigler dead?”


    “No. I heard that Mr. Jensen of Forlisle Medical brought doctors and the special medicine for heart


    diseases to Baykeep in the wee hours of the morning,” his subordinate replied.


    Zephyr did not respond to that and turned to look at the building outside instead.


    After a moment of silence, his subordinate could not help but ask, “Mr. Zephyr, could it be her?”


    “Of course it is.” The man chuckled as he cracked his knuckles. “I recognized her when I smelled the


    scent on her at Weske Park.”


    The corners of his subordinate''s lips twitched in response. He could not help but think of a certain

    animal that frequently used its nose as well.


    “I''ve already made arrangements and stationed the people at the two exits of the hospital,” his


    subordinate continued. “They''ll be able to take action the moment Genevievees out.”


    “Have them withdraw for now.” Zephyr looked down at his palms. “You can do it during the chaos if Old


    Mr. Zeigler is dead, but he''s still alive. When I was at the park that day, I realized the old man''s pretty


    good to Genevieve. Baykeep is the Zeigler family''s territory, and Old Mr. Zeigler has quite a high status


    in the army. I don''t want trouble.”


    Hearing that, the subordinate made a call to tell the men stationed outside the hospital to retreat.


    Then, he drove off.


    Meanwhile, Genevieve continued to apany Herbert after he transferred from the intensive care


    unit to a normal ward. During that time, numerous big shots of the political and military world came to


    visit Herbert.


    However, Genevieve asked Yuvan to reject them all by saying Herbert needed to rest quietly.


    Those who saw Genevieve thought that she was Yuvan''s girlfriend, and their words soon traveled into


    Phineus'' ears.


    When Phineus came to the hospital to visit Herbert again, he pulled his son aside. “Although


    Genevieve is a divorcee and has children, I won''t object to the rtionship if you truly like her.”


    After all, it was not as if this son of his was working in the political or the military world. It was not


    impossible for him to marry Genevieve.
