Chapter 232 

It was already noon the next day when Genevieve woke up in the hospital. 

The sun was scorching, and sunlight shone in. The design of the VIP ward was sleek and elegant. The hospital had always been considerate of rich people. 

Opening her eyes, she saw Louis sitting beside her in different clothes. His gray shirt made him look both cold and gentle, accentuating his features. 

He was peeling an orange for her with his eyes downcast. The white veins on the orange were plucked off little by little, leaving the pulp looking meticulously delicate and bright. 

As soon as Genevieve’s breathing deepened, Louis noticed it and looked at her with joy. He exclaimed, “You’re 

awake!” 

Genevieve smiled and said, “Why are you here?” 

As soon as she finished asking, Selene opened the door and walked in. Relief filled her when she saw that Genevieve had woken up. She said, “You’re finally awake. Mr. Fallon has been here all night and didn’t even catch a wink of sleep. You just caught a fright and weren’t hurt but slept until now. Even Anthony, who was injured, had woken up!” 

Louis smiled gently and said, “She’s timid, Ms. Quinn, so don’t tease her.” 

Selene smiled and raised her eyebrow. 

Louis sounded protective of Genevieve. 

She stood in front of Genevieve’s bed, smiling. “Mr. Fallon, I know she’s timid. It’s all thanks to you for getting there in time. Otherwise, I really wouldn’t know what to do! Since you haven’t slept all night, why don’t you go. and get some rest?” she offered. 

Louis smiled and replied, “I’m fine. I can only be at ease once Genevieve wakes up.” 

Genevieve cleared her throat and said, “I’m fine, Louis. Go and get some rest. Everything will be fine since Selene 

is here.”

Louis glanced at her and nodded after a few seconds of silence. 

O 

He put the peeled orange aside and said gently, “The doctor said you need rest after the fright, so don’t tire yourself out. I’ll see you later.” 

Genevieve nodded. 

Louis looked at Selene and nodded. Then, he walked out. 

Genevieve watched him leave, her eyes darkening unconsciously. 

Selene sat next to her and tore the orange in half. She ate one half and handed the rest to Genevieve. 

“The orange Mr. Fallon peeled tastes so sweet!” she teased. 

Genevieve pushed it around but didn’t eat the orange. She looked at Selene and asked, “How’s Anthony?” 

“Why do you still care about him? He’s lucky to be alive!” Selene remarked. She couldn’t help but criticize Anthony as she ate the other half of the orange. 

Genevieve frowned and said quietly, “It’s not his fault. Someone had tampered with the brakes.” 

Selene hadn’t swallowed the food in her mouth, so she choked, let out a coughing fit, and stared at Genevieve in shock. She asked, “What?” 

Genevieve pursed her lips and asked, “Tell me how you found us?” 

Selene was still in shock, so she told her what happened the night before without thinking twice. “After Anthony took you away last night, I kept your phone. Soon after, Louis came to find you, and I told him you left with Anthony. Louis‘ expression was thunderous, and he said that Anthony’s emotions were unstable after drinking. He was worried that something bad would happen. Then, I ran after him, and Louis drove to find you guys. That’s when I saw your car moving toward the suburbs. After that, I saw you guys got into an accident!” She began to feel something was off the more she talked about it. 

Catching the dark look on Genevieve’s face, she couldn’t help but ask, “Are you suspecting Louis?” 

Being Genevieve’s friend for many years, Selene immediately realized something was wrong. However, she was in disbelief.

Genevieve took a deep breath and thought, ‘Why was Louis the first to arrive then? He knew there would be danger, didn’t he?” 

Genevieve’s heart sank.

She thought, ‘With Anthony’s status, ordinary people can’t even get close to his car, but what about Louis? He’s Presley’s eldest son and part of Hoffman Group. Naturally, he has the chance to get close to Anthony. I realized Anthony’s worries might be valid after alll‘ 

Selene frowned and said, “Anthony’s back and leg were injured. Mr. Hoffman left after checking in on him. Quincey was there and wanted to confront you, but I yelled at her.” 

Quincey knew Anthony had been injured again because of Genevieve and wanted to get even with her. 

However, Selene wasn’t weak. She used her sharp tongue to berate Quincey to the extent that she nearly fainted from anger. 

Genevieve pursed her lips and immediately pushed her blanket away. She said, “I’ll go find Anthony.” 

Selene nodded. 

She was quite optimistic about Louis at first but found that he was worse than Anthony. 

Genevieve wasn’t hurt, so she walked out with a shawl over her shoulders after changing her clothes. 

Anthony’s ward was across the corridor. It was quite far, and police, doctors, and Daniel were stationed by his 

door. 

Daniel was surprised to see Genevieve and walked over. He said, “Ms. Lawrence, Mr. Hoffman said you shouldn’t get involved in this mess. He’ll handle it.” 

Genevieve was also in the car, but the police didn’t an 

her because Anthony had told them not to. 

Genevieve pursed her lips and asked, “Is he awake?” 

“Yes,” Daniel responded, opening the door for her. 

Anthony sat on the hospital bed, looking pale as he tapped away on his laptop.

Seeing her enter, he narrowed his eyes slightly and then turned off the computer. 

“You’re here. Are you feeling better now?” Anthony asked. His voice was low and husky. His expression was cold, and fatigue was evident on his face. 

His leg was fixed with steel plates, and his back was wrapped in gauze. He looked much worse than she did. 

Genevieve crossed the room and sat beside him silently. 

Anthony felt sorry for getting her involved. 

He was angry and sullen. News of his drunk driving accident had spread on the internet. As a result, business rivals attacked Hoffman Group with it, destabilizing its stock price. 

He knew someone was deliberately causing him trouble and knew who was behind it. 

He wasn’t going to let that person off the hook that easily. 

Since the peace had been broken, he wouldn’t pull back his punches anymore. 

He was silent for a while. 

Genevieve offered slowly, “I agree to help you find Grandpa Frank and Grandma Margaret.” 

Anthony suddenly looked at her. 

In the end, Genevieve began to suspect Louis. She couldn’t just stand by and watch Frank and Margaret go 

missing. 

She was helping Anthony and testing Louis. 

“It’s just an act. After we find them, we don’t owe each other anything anymore,” Genevieve said. Her voice was cold and indifferent, but Anthony was surprised nonetheless. 

He smiled, and the lines of fatigue on his face faded slightly. He replied, “Okay.” 

He would agree to whatever terms she wanted. 

Quincey’s voice came from the door.

She came in and said carefully, “Antony. 

Quincey entered with a tall, middle–aged man, but her face paled when she saw Genevieve. 

Genevieve spotted the man, froze for a moment, and then smiled. 

“What a coincidence! I met him in the hotel’s elevator once,‘ she thought.
