NovelEnglishChapter 685
“A happy one, of course.” Johanna leaned back against the couch and said, “I want to be myself.”
Genevieve remembered how Johanna was all bubbly and cute when she first met her. Her smile was
so bright that it could warm people’s hearts. However, after her marriage to Timothy, her laid-back
attitude and cheerfulness slowly disappeared.
She was suppressing her nature.
With a faint smile, Genevieve said, “I hope you can mend your relationship with Timothy, but as your
friend, I hope you can be happy.”
“As expected of my best friend.” Genevieve’s support moved Johanna.
Johanna said after a sip of chamomile tea, “I want to pick up my paintbrush
again after my legs recovered and Asel has grown older. It’s a waste of talent for someone like me to
hide behind the scene. I want to become the most amazing international fashion designer!”
Genevieve recalled her previous complaint about how tired creative designing was. “Sure. Just look for
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtCoop if you don’t have enough funds or resources to start your company.”
Johanna accepted her offer gladly. “Having a mega-rich friend is the best!”
“Isn’t it Asel’s full moon in a few more days?” Genevieve suddenly remembered. “How are you planning
to celebrate it? Or are you leaving it to Timothy?”
“I’m not holding any ceremony. I’ll just hire a photographer to take a few photos of her.” Johanna
continued,
“Asel is still at the age where she needs me. I won’t stop Timothy if he wants to see her.”
Genevieve replied, “Let’s meet over a meal then. I’d prepared a gift for Asel.”
“Sure thing!”
Genevieve’s gaze lingered on the shut door for a while. I caught Timothy following me when I came
over.
Timothy was standing outside the room.
He heard every word ever since Genevieve entered the room, especially Johanna’s last few
sentences.
She had said them in such a vibrant tone and sounded happy.
He stood there stiffly, feeling the emptiness in his heart. Never had he felt so lost before.
Timothy recalled the day Johanna went missing. He was searching everywhere for her and finally
found her through Genevieve. She wrapped her arms around herself, saying she was scared he would
leave her. Her weeping didn’t stop even after she fell asleep. Her arms circled him the whole time.
She was the one who barged her way into my life. When I finally fell for her and gave up a lot of things,
she felt sick and doubted my sincerity.
Timothy felt as if his body was submerged in ice-cold water. Suddenly, his phone started ringing in his
pocket. The vibration was so strong that his fingers felt numb from He impatiently took it out and slid
it over his ear. “What’s up?”
After hearing the other end speaking urgently, Timothy’s expression darkened. He hurriedly hung up as
he strode over to the elevator.
The next day, Genevieve saw a piece of news on her phone.
The executive director of Forlisle Medical, Jeremiah Jensen, suddenly fainted in the middle of a
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmconference in the afternoon. His staff urgently sent him to the hospital. After spending three hours in
the operating room, he was finally transferred to an inpatient hospital room.
Some reporters that had been camping outside the hospital heard Jeremiah had suffered from kidney
failure and needed time to recuperate.
When Jeremiah fainted, every news outlet was reporting about his sudden turn of health. The news
was trending with so many news outlets reporting it, causing Forlisle Medical’s share to fluctuate.
Without a choice, Timothy had to put on a suit and participate in a board of directors meeting at the
company.
Timothy may look like he only spent time working as a doctor at General Hospital, but he did review the
piles of documents Jeremiah passed to him. He had a good understanding of the company’s
organizational structure to the background of the members of the board of directors and shareholders.
The board of directors meeting was only held for twenty minutes.
After Timothy left the company, every major news outlet was reporting that Timothy would be
taking over the role of executive director of Forlisle Medical before Jeremiah regained his health on
Twitter.
After that news, Genevieve never saw Timothy in the hospital again, not even on Asel’s full moon.
Genevieve heard from Cooper that Timothy was tied up with company affairs.
