" Genny , I told you many times . I'm nice to her only because of her kidney ! " You're the only one I love . Please don't do this to me ... " " I know . " Genevieve lowered her eyes , hiding her heartbreak . " So , I didn't take it to heart . " Nathaniel heaved a sigh of relief and carefully bound the bandage around Genevieve's wound .

" I was just saying that I liked the jewelry for the champion of a car race . He signed up immediately , though it was super dangerous ! " The excitement grew in her voice . " You should see it ! To win the championship , he drove so fast that his car almost flipped ! And he chanted my name when they rolled him into the operating room . " Genevieve closed the book and looked outside . It was a beautiful sunny day . However , the sunlight was making her eyes hurt . " He needs someone to take care of him now . Genny , would you like to come over ? " Lainey drawled , waiting for Genevieve's reaction . " He got hurt for you , " Genevieve said , deadpan . " You're boyfriend and girlfriend . I'll leave it to you .
