Chapter 724
Jack dashed over and untied the ropes shackling her limbs. Her limbs were seared with red marks
where the ropes had been.
She had never once been freed from the rope on her wrist ever since she was trapped in the room.
Jack suppressed the urge to murder the person who did this to Genevieve and rushed her to the
hospital. Fortunately, Genevieve had only fainted because she was dehydrated and had not ingested
any food for a prolonged period.
The doctor arranged for Genevieve to stay in a private ward and put her on an IV drip.
After some time, Cooper brought dinner and a few bags into the ward. He handed the bag to Jack and
said, “You're soaked in sweat. Go take a bath. I'll keep an eye out for her.”
“Okay.” Jack was feeling uncomfortable with the sticky sensation on his back. Then, he took the bag of
clothes to the restroom.
After the door of the restroom was closed, Cooper immediately took out a small cooler from underneath
a bag of clothes and injected her with the cure after sanitizing her arms.

Cooper received a call at seven in the morning, and he took the call outside the ward.
Jack did not feel sleepy at all. He propped his arm against the chair and stared right at the woman on
the bed.
Jack's subordinate texted him and told him that he had captured the two men responsible for
Genevieve's predicament. His subordinate had resorted to vicious beating during his questioning, and
the two men claimed that they left Genevieve in the hotel room to die after receiving payment from their
client.
According to one of the men, their client was an attractive woman with blonde hair and blue eyes.
Jack's subordinate surmised that it was Lilian.
However, they searched the whole Baykeep and could not seem to locate Lilian.
Jack cursed inwardly at his subordinates' ineptness, seething at the fact that they had not been able to
capture the woman. At the same time, he was quite surprised as well. After all, she was wheelchair-
bound, and Jack had gotten rid of her closest aides. How was it possible that she was able to stay in
the dark for so long?
Lilian knew that Genevieve was his soft spot. Why didn't she call me to negotiate if she had captured
Genevieve?
Jack lifted his head to look at the hospital bed. Then, he noticed that Genevieve's thick lashes fluttered
as if she was about to wake up.
He leaned forward and gently patted her on her cheeks. “Genev, are you all right?”
The woman on the bed opened her eyes slowly. She stared blankly at Jack for a few moments when
she met his gaze. However, she soon regained composure.
A dark glint fleeted across her eyes as she managed a faint smile. “I'm all right.”
Her micro-expression did not go unnoticed. Jack's irises constricted in response as he eyed the woman
for a few seconds. Then, he took a few steps back as his face turned grim.
Right then, Cooper came back with breakfast.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmCooper felt a heavy weight lifted off his chest when he noticed that Genevieve was awake. However,
he soon noticed something odd as he halted in his steps.
The mannerisms of the woman on the bed—the look in her eyes, her demeanor, was nothing like
Genevieve.
Genevieve's beauty was innocent and pure, and yet she was able to incite a man's deepest desires
with just a flick of her fingers. However, the cold crinkle of the corner of her eyes was able to intimidate
people as well.
The woman lying on the hospital bed was different. She was demure and alluring like a fox. Her gaze
was cold and languid. She was like a fiery red rose that had just blossomed, her lips glistened with
glossy pink as if she had laced them with poison, daring those who dared to risk a taste, despite
knowing full well that they would have to pay with their lives.
Jack eyed the woman with a dark look in his eyes. “Who are you?”
The woman sat up on the bed and leaned against the pillow. Realizing that Jack had seen right through
her, she said, “I'm Nathalia, and I'm...”
The corner of her red lips curled into a smile as she enunciated, “Genevieve's sister.”
