Chapter 171: Chapter 172

This man was none other than Kimberly’s brother, Samuel.

He happened to be there with his friends and reacted quickly, reaching out to support the stag gering Genevieve.

“I’m sorry… I’m sorry…” apologized Genevieve.

She still retained some consciousness and realized she had bumped into someone. Apologizing without hesitation, she resembled a deer in the headlights.

Samuel frowned as the smell of alcohol permeated the air.

‘This woman usually behaves herself. Why did she get herself drunk today?’ he wondered.

Samuel held her upright and asked with displeasure, “Have you been drinking?”

The man who was keeping watch quickly retreated and disappeared in a flash after realizing things had gone wrong.

He had taken Whitney’s offer and was given the mission to ruin Genevieve.

This was a sweet deal as Whitney had sent him pictures of Genevieve, and he thought she looked gentle and lovely.

He thought, “I get to spend time with a beautiful woman and make money at the same time. Isn’t that like hitting the lottery?”

Genevieve’s wrist was starting to feel sore from Samuel’s grip. She frowned and looked up at him.

Samuel’s figure was reflected in her beautiful eyes..

At that moment, she felt like she was dreaming.

She chuckled. “You look so handsome, exactly like Samuel.”

Samuel felt a little surprised thinking that she still remembered him when she was drunk.

The drug in the juice started taking effect.

Genevieve felt very uncomfortable.

Her whole body was burning up.

Even her breath grew rapid.

Her hand touched Samuel’s cold hand.

It felt good, like touching a cool block of ice on a hot day.

Genevieve couldn’t help leaning against Samuel.

Witnessing that, Samuel’s friends tactfully left them alone.

Genevieve was a relatively introverted girl and she usually spoke in a soft voice.

She always kept a respectful distance from Samuel whenever she saw him.

This was the first time Samuel saw Genevieve act this way. She was clearly not herself.

There were people were passing by the corridor.

Samuel frowned and asked softly, “Genevieve, are you okay?”

She was acting very unusually.

Genevieve heard the question but her eyelids felt heavy.

Samuel looked down to see Genevieve’s cheeks flushed red, and she was breathing. faster than normal.

He was shocked and figured that she must have been drugged.

He had heard of such incidents before. Her life might very well be in danger if her condition wasn’t relieved in time.

His expression darkened as he thought about what might happen..

Π Not daring to delay for a moment, he carried Genevieve in his arms and rushed to the hospital.

On the way, Genevieve lay in the back seat of the car, occasionally leaning against the seat and occasionally toppling over.

Samuel took a look at the rear-view mirror in the car.

After swaying unsteadily for a few times, Genevieve finally quieted down.

He didn’t dare to imagine what would have happened if she hadn’t run into him.

Picking up his phone, he quickly dialed Edward’s number, asking him to make arrangements.

Coincidentally, Edward was on duty at the hospital.

Samuel sounded uncharacteristically anxious on the phone. Edward had never seen him like this before.

They finally reached the hospital.

After Samuel parked the car, he rushed to the emergency room with Genevieve in his arms.

Edward had already arranged for a bed at the entrance of the emergency room.

Samuel was sweating profusely as he put Genevieve down, looking anxious.

Edward took a look at Genevieve. He could tell that his buddy treasured this woman very much.

He patted Samuel on the rand said, “Don’t wo’ll be okay.”

Edward was experienced enough to tell at a glance what had happened with Genevieve.

As her face was flushed as if she had been drinking, and coupled with Samuel’s anxious expression, he could tell she must have been drugged.

Edward pumped Genevieve’s stomach and gave her some nutrient solution to protect the stomach lining.

In Edward’s office, Samuel repeatedly asked with concern, “How is she doing?”

Seeing how anxious Samuel was, Edward felt like teasing him.

He deliberately put on a stern face and said, “I can’t relieve her symptoms. Only you. can do it.”

Doubt and confusion flashed in Samuel’s eyes.

Edward laughed and said, “You’re so dense. No wonder you can’t get a wife.”

He mocked his friend as if he himself had already built a family.

“You’re just too gentlemanly. In this case, nine out of ten men will have found a way to deal with this problem by themselves, Edward continued in a mellow voice.

Now, Samuel finally realized what his buddy meant.

Genevieve was special in his heart.

He knew that.

However, he had always been repressing that thought.

He had lived for more than twenty years and became a well-known designer. Logically, he should be an emotional and meticulous person.

However, he was quite aloof.

He was pretty lucky in love but always wasted his chances.

To put it bluntly, he didn’t care about those things until he met Genevieve.

There were many times when he just couldn’t control his emotions when it came to her.

Hence, he sent her to the hospital immediately when such an incident happened.

Edward looked at Samuel who was still in a daze and knew that he was probably still in shock.

He thought he should calm his friend down.

Moreover, by the looks of it, he presumed Samuel and Genevieve would soon tie the knot.

He said, “Her condition has stabilized and a nutrient solution is being administered now. She will be observed for two more hours. If there are no other complications, you can bring her back.”

Samuel’s expression softened. He politely replied, “Thank you, Edward. Sorry for disturbing your rest.”

Edward smiled. “I’m honored to be of service to my future sister-in-law.”

The way Edward referred to Genevieve made Samuel feel a little embarrassed.

He reflexively retorted, “We’re just friends.”

Hearing this, Edward panicked. “What? You’re just friends? You have to hold on to such a nice girl. You will never find a second one like her.”

One’s reaction during an emergency will never lie.

Edward saw how his buddy got anxious and stressed over Genevieve..

Whitney and the others, were still singing at the karaoke.

The man Whitney hired said that Genevieve had met an acquaintance in the corridor and that the acquaintance was a man who exuded an extraordinary aura.

Whitney’s expression twisted with anger.

She had spent so much energy and money on today’s plan..

Who would have thought someone unexpected could come out of nowhere and ruin everything?

The man was still standing aside, waiting for Whitney to transfer him the final payment. “About the money…

However, before he could finish his words, Whitney chided, “You didn’t finish the job, yet you still have the audacity to ask for more money? Get out of here!”
