FreeNovelThe force of the explosion almost sent Armand flying.
He mustered all his strength to run toward Genevieve. Right before he could reach her, a metal shard
shot out from the explosion and penetrated the back of his head.
Grunting in pain, he threw himself on Genevieve to push her to the ground. He even placed his hand
behind her head to prevent her from cracking her skull open.
The loud explosion had Genevieve’s right ear buzzing so loudly that she couldn’t hear anything.
As she was in Armand’s embrace, she could smell his scent and the faint coppery stench of blood.
When she tried to wriggle her way out of his embrace, she saw him frowning, and it seemed like he
was in pain. At the same time, his face had turned pale. Droplets of blood were flowing down from his
hair and landing on her face.
“Armand, where are you hurt?” Genevieve yelled.
Suddenly, a droplet of his blood landed in her eyes and blurred her vision.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtShe wiped the blood away and saw Armand’s lips moving.
Unfortunately, she still couldn’t hear him. All she could tell by reading his lips was the word, “Want.”
When Genevieve saw the state Armand was in, she didn’t feel the satisfaction of revenge. Instead, she
was freaking out as the sharp scent of blood assaulted her senses relentlessly.
At last, she managed to get out of his embrace and saw a metal shard buried into the back of his head.
Blood was gushing out of the wound continuously.
Genevieve dared not touch it, fearing that she would make things worse.
She then searched his body for a phone with her trembling hands. However, she didn’t find one on him.
Growing increasingly panicked, she hunted around the vicinity for her phone. Soon, she found it on the
ground nearby, and to her surprise, it could still light up.
However, the screen was badly damaged, so she couldn’t key in her password.
“Sh*t! Why is it not working?” Genevieve cursed.
At that point, she could not stop her tears from rolling down her cheeks and dripping on the cracked
screen.
Fortunately, Steven, who was right behind Armand, had arrived.
Despite being a man in his thirties, when Steven saw the state Armand was in, his eyes still reddened.
After helping Genevieve carry Armand into the car, Steven floored the accelerator and rushed to the
hospital.
Genevieve took Steven’s phone and called Timothy. She told him to get to the hospital right away to
wait for their arrival.
After hanging up, Genevieve accidentally touched Armand’s arm and noticed that his body temperature
was decreasing rapidly. She immediately held his hands tightly and blew on them so that she could
warm him up. In the meantime, her fingers were trembling uncontrollably.
Luckily, it was in the middle of the night, so the roads were empty.
Steven drove as fast as he could and arrived at the hospital within ten minutes.
When the medical personnel saw Armand covered in blood, they immediately yelled for their
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmcolleagues to bring them a gurney. After putting Armand onto the gurney with his back facing up, they
rushed him to an operating room.
Genevieve followed the gurney all the way to the entrance of the operating room. Before they could
bring him in, she stopped them by holding onto the gurney.
“What are you doing?” a nurse fumed. “Don’t you see the injury on his head? Do you want him to die?”
“Wait for Dr. Jensen.” Genevieve held onto the gurney tightly. She had also placed one of her feet
before the entrance of the operating room to block them from entering.
“Dr. Jensen is an orthopedist! The patient has a brain injury!” the nurse thundered. “Besides, the patient
will die before Dr. Jensen gets here!”
“I said, wait for Dr. Jensen. If he dies, I’ll commit suicide here and die with him.” Genevieve stared at
the nurse calmly and enunciated the words slowly.
Upon hearing those words, all the medical staff, including the nurse, were stunned.
Steven then arrived at the scene in a rush. He didn’t say anything when he heard what Genevieve said.
Instead, he blocked the entrance to the operating room as well. “Mrs. Faulkner said we should wait for
Dr. Jensen. In that case, we shall wait for Dr. Jensen.”
