Genevieve’s smile stiffened. She put down her fork, propped up her chin, and stared at him, candidly asking, “Do you want to sleep with me?”
At that moment, something seemed to strike his heart, and it resonated like the tolling of a bell, silent yet profound.
Anthony fell silent, looking down at the coffee cup beside him. The aroma of the coffee wafted up.
He suddenly felt that he was despicable.
She had blatantly voiced the filth hidden in his heart, shattering his noble and aloof image.
Anthony dared not admit it because a man like that didn’t deserve Genevieve,
He didn’t just want a lover.
What he wanted was her everything, her willingness to submit.
He lightly traced the edge of the cup with his fingertip before chuckling. “If I wanted to do so, I wouldn’t have put it off until now. Genevieve, don’t you know my feelings for you?”
Genevieve raised her eyebrows. “Of course, I do. I was just overthinking. You’re not a libertine, Mr. Hoffman.”
One feigned affection, the other pretended innocence.
This was finally over, and Anthony felt hot all over. He unbuttoned his collar, exuding a bit of a dissolute air. “Give up on TuringTech Innovations and state your conditions.”
Genevieve looked up and gave a half–smile. “Give me 9.9 billion dollars!”
Anthony’s hand paused.
They looked at each other for a moment, sensing that the other was not joking.
Anthony laughed in exasperation. “Aren’t you asking too much?”
The entire project hadn’t even started yet, and whether it would profit wise illus

The conversation wasn’t quiet. She heard it all, yet she showed no reaction.
He wondered if she was cold–blooded or heartless.
Anthony’s expression became complex momentarily, and then he stood up. “We’re done eating. Come with me to the hospital.”
Genevieve leisurely put down her fork and glanced at him. “I’m not going. What does your sister’s hospitalization have to do with me? Getting worked up over a dumb piece of clothing? Isn’t that ridiculous? Either she’s faking it, or she deserves it. Don’t try to drag me into it.”
Genevieve’s tone was indifferent.
Anthony’s expression was complicated for a moment.
“Besides, she may not even want to see me.” Genevieve chuckled.
Anthony took a deep breath and pulled her up. “Whether she wants to see you or not, you’ll know when you get there.”
He then pushed her into the car.
Genevieve looked pissed.
Alas, he didn’t even glance at her.
Anthony also knew it wouldn’t be good to bring her along, especially since everyone from the Hoffman family was there, and her presence would certainly be unwelcome.
– Nevertheless, letting her leave now bothered him, and he didn’t want to.
Anthony thought, ‘What issue can’t be resolved? Could it be that, in her eyes, there wasn’t a single decent person in the Hoffman family?”
Genevieve leaned back in her seat speechlessly. She shut her eyes and feigned sleep because she didn’t want to talk to Anthony anymore.
Genevieve had already thought things through when they reached the hospital.
She was not visiting.
She was there to laugh at the situation.

Presley was not at the emergency room entrance; only quencry was impatienly waiting.
Daniel was also there. He stood when he saw Anthony and was surprised to see Genevieve
Genuare smiled faintly and waved. “Hi, Mr. Simmons.”
“Ms. Lawrence” Daniel nodded before turning to Anthony “Mr. Hoffman, Ms Hoffman fainted at the entrance of the mall. She was found by Mrs. Thomson and sent to the hospital. The doctor examined her and the situation
d’t good. She needs surgery…”
Before he could finish speaking, the emergency room door was pushed open from inside.
The doctor strode over. “Mr. Hoffman.”
Anthony nodded coldly.
The doctor said, “Ms. Hoffman’s condition is critical. Her condition suddenly deteriorated, and we can only control it temporarily. She’ll be sent to the observation ward now from the emergency room. She needs a bone marrow transplant as soon as possible.”
Anthony’s gaze became sharp instantly.
He wondered, ‘Why is Lauraine suddenly 7”
Daniel’s face turned pale. “She had a transplant three years ago…
“Yes, the situation is the same as three years ago, but this time we didn’t have time to prepare, so we must find a suitable bone marrow donor without delay.” The doctor looked solemn.
Anthony stood there with a gloomy face.
Quincey strode over. “Then what are you waiting for? Hurry up and find a suitable donor!”

After all, Lauraine was still her daughter. Although Lauraine was useless, Quincey didn’t want her to die.
The doctor pursed his lips and said with a troubled look, “Finding a match within the shortest time frame might not be possible for us unless a matched person volunteers to donate.”
Quincey frowned. “Last time, it was Genevieve who…”
She looked at Genevieve.
Genevieve stood there, looking at them amusedly.
She mused, ‘Lauraine is ill again. She deserves it!‘
Anthony suddenly remembered what they had told him before.
Genevieve had agreed to donate bone marrow three years ago and took the opportunity to ask for him to marry
her.
His heart sank, and he looked at her with gloomy eyes.
