Chapter 1303 I Am Just Afraid
The Zeigler family is a military family, with generations of soldiers from their ancestors to their descendants.
Moreover, Phineus holds the position of commanding officer in the Nineteenth Military District.
If Yuvan were a Buddhist, Phineus could at least tolerate it.
As a result, his son, a Chanaea native, went abroad to study painting in a Christian country, which was equivalent to
abandoning his own faith, and his heart was completely devoted to it.
Phineus refused to let Yuvan join the church, but Yuvan had already joined, which infuriated Phineus to no end.
Somehow, word of this incident got out and caused quite a stir. Phineus, unable to bear the shame, severed his
father-son relationship with Yuvan and removed him from the family registry.
He also ordered Yuvan not to use the surname Zeigler and made him change it to his mother's surname.
During that period, people from both the military and political circles were laughing at the Zeigler family. Some felt
that Phineus was too cold-hearted, after all, it was his own son. Believing in a religion shouldn't have led to the

Not long after, the political world was shaken by a major event that stunned everyone.
A few years ago, Benedict's brother was a surgeon at a major hospital. One day, he had been drinking and still went
on to perform surgery on a patient. Tragically, the patient died on the operating table due to this negligence.
The patient's family could not accept this situation and demanded an explanation from the hospital. They also
requested an autopsy to be performed on the patient.
The family of the patient is aware of their child's illness and knows that a minor surgery will suffice. Moreover, even
if there are risks associated with the surgery, it will not be fatal.
At that time, Benedict's brother was just about to be promoted to vice-principal.
He was afraid that if the news of him performing surgery after drinking alcohol got out, his career would be over.
So, he used his influence to bribe the medical staff and the autopsy personnel, making them testify that the fault
lay with the patient themselves.
The patient's family reported the case to the Supreme Court, but they were intimidated by people hired by
Benedict's brother.
An accidental fall led to a stroke that paralyzed half of their body, forcing them to lie in bed for the rest of their life.
The other person, while arguing with some people, had one of their hands broken by them and never dared to bring
up the matter again.
After the incident was exposed, Benedict's brother was immediately taken to the police station for questioning.
Benedict suffered a defeat in the election, and his associates were dealt with by Armand one by one. As if things
weren't bad enough, this time his brother's medical accident dragged him into the mess as well.
After Benedict's brother was convicted with irrefutable evidence, Benedict was also expelled from the party, and his
career was completely over.
Not long after, Yuvan also divorced Eurydice.
Genevieve really thought that Yuvan had a falling out with Phineus over learning to paint, and even called to
persuade Yuvan. It wasn't until Benedict's medical accident was exposed that she suddenly realized the truth.
Today was a Saturday, and Armand had been busy at work in the government office until past one o'clock. When he

Her sweat-soaked athletic clothes clung to her body, and her hair was damp as well. She looked quite miserable.
Seeing Armand return, Genevieve threw herself at him as if she had been greatly wronged. However, she had been
practicing shadow boxing for two hours in the afternoon, and now her limbs were weak, so she couldn't even hold
onto him.
Armand felt both heartache and amusement as he carried her upstairs.
Genevieve didn't hold back, wiping the sweat from her face onto his sweater. She caught a whiff of the faint
sandalwood scent on him, which smelled really nice.
“Why did you come back at this time?”
“I'm tired from working every day too, so I want to take a break on the weekend and come back to spend time with
you.” Armand carried Genevieve to the bathroom and helped her take off her sweaty workout clothes.
Genevieve was drenched in sweat and feeling extremely uncomfortable, but she couldn't take a shower right after
finishing her training.
She sat in the soft chair, waiting like a child for Armand to wring out a hot towel to help her wipe the sweat off her
body.
Seeing the man's gentle and attentive actions, Genevieve's heart almost melted. “They say women age faster than
men, Mando. If I were lying in bed at the age of sixty or seventy, would you still take care of me like this?”
