Chapter 868 Man Of His Word
Armand uttered slowly, “He didn''t have the guts to meet you because he felt guilty that he couldn''t
provide you with a stable life. He said when you saw him, you would cry, and he didn''t want to see you
cry. Lastly, he hoped that you could marry someone who could stay by your side for the rest of your
life.”
Ethan''s fear was something he understood well.
Back then, when he knew he only had a few months left to live, he didn''t want to meet with Genevieve
because he was afraid of seeing her cry.
Even though Armand spoke calmly, Sally felt as though her heart was smashed by a rock.
Her head hung low unmovingly, but her warm tears dripped onto the bandages, soaking them entirely
and rapidly.
“How can he say such a thing...” She sobbed. I''ve loved him for twenty-odd years, yet he refused to let
me see him when he was about to die and even told me not to love him. Why is he so selfish?
“He said it because he loved you and that he hopes you''ll be able to move on instead of living in the
past,” he exined.
It was then two knocks were heard on the door.
Sally assumed the private doctor had arrived, so she wiped her tears away and opened the door to let
the doctor in. Then she pointed at the cuffed man sitting on the couch.
The private doctor in his fifties was once a military doctor for seven or eight years.
When he saw a military knife lodged in Armand''s chest, he calmly approached his patient and put his
medical kit down. Then he put on a pair of sterilized gloves, pulled out the knife, and sewed the wound
shut.
The heart was the most fragile part of the human body, and the knife almost punctured it.
When the doctor pulled out the knife without anesthetic, Armand''s eyebrows didn''t even furrow slightly.
He continued to speak to Sally in a calm voice. “You love Ethan, not me. Even if my heart belongs to
him, I''m still me, and I still have a family I love. If you don''t want to get married, I can take care of you
for the rest of your life. I can also be his father''s son in his ce and work for his family because
that''s what I owe him. However, if you want me to sacrifice my love and be your puppet, ''d rather
die.”
He raised his head and stared at Sally calmly. His words, however, were vicious. “If Genevieve had
really diedst night, I would''ve made the entire Loake family pay the price for her death. If the woman
I love is dead, then I''ll find no reason to y by the rules any longer.”
When the doctor heard that, his hand trembled for a moment.
He had no idea why Armand had the guts to say something like that, but Armand''s collected attitude
made him believe that Armand was a man capable of doing that.
No words left Sally''s mouth as she stood with her arms crossed in front of her chest.
Half an hourter, the doctor finally patched up Armand''s wound, applied medicine to it, and bandaged
it.
After wiping the sweat on his forehead away, he noticed the bandages on Sally''s hands had been

soaked in blood. He couldn''t help but suggest, “Let me help you take care of that wound of yours, Ms.
Loake.”
“It''s alright.” The paining from her hands was quelling her anxiousness.
As she stared at the doctor packing his medical kit, she uttered, “You didn''t hear anything when you
came here to treat Mr. Faulkner''s wound today. Got it?”
“I understand.” Even if Gerald asked him about it, he wouldn''t dare to say a word about what
happened.
He believed the man in front of him was far more terrifying.
After Sally unlocked the cuffs, she tried to fix Armand''s right hand. However, he used his left hand to
feel where his right hand was injured and fixed his right hand himself. A cracking sound was heard as
he did.
She had no choice but to withdraw her hand. “I''ll send you back...”
“No need. Just rest.” Upon finishing his sentence, he turned around and left.
When she also turned around, she only saw a closed door.
