Chapter 162
Genevieve had flown back to Clusia aboard Caspian’s private jet, landing directly atop the hospital. Upon hearing the news the following day, Darrell and Samantha were beyond belief.
Caspian escorted them to see their daughter, now lying in a hospital bed. The sight moved Darrell and Samantha to the point of speechlessness,
Darrell, overwhelmed, sat weeping silently, while Jeffrey offered tissues.
Samantha, radiant with joy, made calls to have ingredients delivered. She was determined to cook a meal herself,
As Caspian witnessed the family’s emotional reunion, he offered a supportive pat on Darrell’s back. “Don’t fret,
Darrell. Gen’s fortunate to have made it through safely. At the end of the day, Louis played a part in saving her. That’s something we have to acknowledge.”
Darrell, through his tears, countered bitterly, “Hell, he saved her only to keep her to himself, not to return her to us. I’ve been in despair, thinking my daughter was gone. Why should I give him any credit?”
When he heard of Genevieve’s situation from Caspian, all Darrell felt was hatred and resentment over Louis‘ actions.
He struggled with a tumult of emotions, from elation at Genevieve’s survival to despair over her captivity.
“Keep it down,” Samantha chided gently, peering through the glass at Genevieve. “Let’s not wake Gen.”
At her words, Darrell settled down, falling silent.
Jeffrey, looking troubled, asked, “Do you think Louis will back off?”
After a brief pause, Caspian responded, “I’ve got Yvette reaching out to Linda fr lp. Linda’s got influence over him, plus he’s tied up dealing with the fallout from David’s mess. He’s got his hands full for now.”
Alas, no one could predict whether Louis would simply let the matter slide.
Louis’s real persona remained a mystery to those on the outside, and Yvette had kept mum about it.
Moreover, deciphering Louis‘ actions was a challenging task.
The room fell into a thoughtful silence.
Chapter 162
Genevieve awakened later that afternoon to a mind wiped clean of immediate recollection.
The stark hospital light and the pervasive scent of disinfectant were the first things she registered.
As her memory gradually resurfaced, a wave of pallor washed over her.
She instinctively clutched at her chest, the memory of that debilitating pain still vivid, although the sensation was no longer present.
A slight frown creased her brow as she inadvertently knocked something over, the noise drawing the attention of her family outside.
As they rushed in, Genevieve’s gaze met that of Darrell and Samantha, her expression softening, tears quickly following. “Mom, Dad…”
The moment felt surreal.
Outside, Samantha had maintained her composure, but at the sight of Genevieve’s tears, her resolve crumbled. She rushed forward, embracing her daughter tightly.
Darrell, too, approached, his eyes brimming with tears, and joined the embrace.
The ordeal they had endured since the news of Genevieve’s accident had been torturous.
They had clung to a faint hope, refraining from holding a funeral, and now, their prayers had been answered.
Genevieve was finally home.
Genevieve’s tears flowed freely for a moment, her emotions overwhelming. She was finally home.
Caspian caught Jeffrey’s eye, who was wiping away tears, attempting to keep his composure.
Caspian intervened, gently tapping Darrell on the shoulder. “We need to keep to keep things calm.”
Regaining their composure, Darrell and Samantha dialed back their emotions.

Samantha caressed Genevieve’s face, her voice laced with concern. “You’ve lost so much weight. Don’t worry. I’l whip up something delicious for you.”
Genevieve responded with a teary smile and a vigorous nod, noticing how much thinner Samantha appeared.
Chapter 162
Samantha, who usually maintained her weight meticulously, now had hollow cheeks that marred her appearance.
On the other hand, Darrell’s hair had turned almost entirely white.
Genevieve’s heart ached for them; She was Darrell and Samantha’s primary concern.
She felt gratitude toward Louis for rescuing her, yet she knew she could never abandon her family for him.
Thankfully, it wasn’t too late.
Jeffrey came over for a hug. “Gen, it’s such a relief to see you’re all right.”
“Thanks, Jeff,” Genevieve replied, grateful.
During this ordeal, Darrell and Samantha had been too distressed to focus on anything else.
Jeffrey had shouldered the responsibility of caring for his parents while dealing with the situation. Not only did he have to prevent his competitors from taking advantage of the situation, but he also had to go out to see to look for Genevieve.
Just then, Caspian ushered the doctor in, prompting Jeffrey and Darrell to step aside.
“How is she?” Darrell asked as soon as the doctor was done.
The doctor reassured them, “Ms. Lawrence is clear of the medication now and is in good health. She’s free to leave the hospital whenever she wishes.”
Relief washed over Darrell.
Genevieve, thinking back on Linda’s pill, figured Louis must be aware of her departure by now. She hoped he wouldn’t take out his frustration on anyone else and that they could move on s rately.
Darrell was eager to take Genevieve home, not wanting her to stay in the hospital any longer than necessary.
Genevieve, too, yearned to return home, and everyone else supported the idea.
Thus, Caspian dropped them off at the Lawrence residence and left.
The servants joyously celebrated her return, clearly having felt Genevieve’s absence deeply.
Samantha took charge of the kitchen, while Darrell excitedly prepared fruits a

selection of films for Genevieve to pick from.
Genevieve was the center of attention, cherished by everyone.
She dined to her heart’s content, prompting Darrell to inwardly curse Louis again, convinced she hadn’t been fed well enough elsewhere.
Finally, Genevieve put down her fork, assuring them with a smile, “I’m full.”
Samantha handed her a glass of water and inquired, “Gen, what exactly happened? You vanished on that cruise ship. Your father and I questioned nearly everyone at that banquet, but no one claimed to have seen you.”
Genevieve’s smile faded as the chilling memories resurfaced. She averted her gaze, recounting the events in briel.
A heavy silence fell upon the room as she finished. Darrell’s face turned a shade of furious red.
“Has the Hoffman family lost their minds? You saved her life with a bone marrow donation, and this is how she repays you?” His fist came down hard on the table.
Samantha’s expression darkened, her breathing uneven. “Andrea had us fooled with her supposed innocence. To think I didn’t see through her act, despite being an actress myself!”
