    Sally stepped backward until she fell onto the couch behind her. Then she pulled out a cigarette from


    the coffee table, smoked it, and leaned back. Her absentminded gaze swept past every inch of her


    condominium.


    The condominium was bought by Ethan three years ago when he returned during his holiday. He


    picked all the furniture in the condominium.


    Even though he had passed on, she felt as though she could still see his figure from the kitchen to the


    bedroom.


    When her eyesnded on the kitchen, she could see him feeding her a piece of braised pork. When her


    line of sight arrived in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, she saw him talking to someone on the


    phone. Then, she saw herself suddenly hugging him from behind and stretching her hands into his


    clothes. With no other choice, he hung up the call, turned around to hug her, and kissed her


    passionately...


    All those scenes cut through her heart like a knife. It made her feel awful and sad as tears welled in her

    eyes again.


    Over time, his figure slowly disappeared from her sight.


    When Genevieve woke up, she stared at the ceiling for a long while.


    As scenes of her being thrown from the cruise ship shed before her eyes, she could still feel the pain


    in her chest caused byck of oxygen.


    After lying on the bed for a while, she got off and poured herself a cup of water before drinking it.


    Steven saw that when he brought breakfast into her room. He ced the breakfast on the dining table


    and stared at her. “How are you feeling, Mrs. Faulkner?”


    “No.” After she finished drinking the water, she approached the dining table. “Did Lucian ask you why I


    didn''t go backst night?”


    “I was keeping an eye on youst night. So, I called Mr. Sutton to go to Swallow Garden and tell your


    children you''re so busy that you can''t make it back home,” he replied as he took out the breakfast from


    the bags.


    When the smell of oatmeal entered Genevieve''s nose, she knew Steven wasn''t the one who bought it.


    She picked up a spoon to scoop up the oatmeal, but her hand began to shake uncontrobly. It got so


    bad that she couldn''t hold it tightly, causing the oatmeal to fall on the back of her hand.


    Steven quickly handed her a piece of tissue paper.


    Her head lowered after she wiped away the oatmeal on the back of her hand. “I don''t want to eat this


    anymore. I''m not feeling hungry.”


    Instead of forcing her, he picked up an orange from the fruit te, cut the fruit into smaller pieces, and


    removed half of its peel before giving it to her.


    Then he began to speak. “A few months ago, Mr. Faulkner wasn''t feeling well during a particr night. I


    sent him to the hospital, and the doctor said his heart could only keep him alive for three more months


    at most.”


    She stared at him, stunned.


    “We were afraid it was a mistake, so I apanied him to all the big hospitals in the country. Even the


    most skilled doctors said the same thing, which was that he needed a heart transnt. He didn''t


    disappear on purpose, Mrs. Faulkner. He was looking for a heart. However, no matter who we


    contacted, we just couldn''t find a suitable one...” Steven felt awful as he continued the story. “In the


    end, he gave up hope of recovering and wrapped up his matters quickly. He was going to hand you and


    the children to Jack before spending the rest of his time in a ce far away from you. Then, we saw a


    ray of hope unexpectedly. Mr. Zane''s son, Ethan, had an ident. His heart was ny-six percent


    Ethan was willing to give his heart to Mr. Faulkner. However, because he was the only son in his family,


    he proposed an exchange with Mr. Faulkner. He wants Mr. Faulkner to be his father''s godson and


    eventually take over his father''s position. He also wants Mr. Faulkner to take care of the Loake family


    as well as Sally until she marries someone. Ethan''s conditions were far too demanding. It basically


    meant Mr. Faulkner had to sell his soul to Ethan''s family and Sally. However, Mr. Faulkner had no


    choice but to agree to the conditions.”


    It never urred to Genevieve that something like that had happened to Armand in just a few short


    months.


    She couldn''t help but wonder what else she didn''t know about.
