Chapter 7 " You- ! " Genevieve's mind went blank , and her body acted on its own . She lunged off the bed and shoved Elaine hard . " Get out ! " Elaine fell back theatrically , her forehead conveniently hitting the bed frame . Blood immediately gushed down her face . Nathaniel roared in anger and instantly helped Elaine to her feet , shoving Genevieve away . " Are you insane ? All this for a necklace ? Is it worth it ? " Genevieve knelt on the floor , trembling as she picked up the shattered gems and broken chain . Tears blurred her vision . She clutched the fragments so tightly that they cut into her palms , but she didn't seem to feel the pain . " It is worth it ! " she cried , almost hysterical . " This is the only thing my parents left me ! " Nathaniel froze for a moment , but then his face hardened . " The dead are gone . And a person is always more important than a necklace . Besides , we already owe Lainey plenty ! I'll find the best craftsman to fix the necklace . But if something happened to Lainey just now , do have any idea what that would mean ? She's the one ready to give you her kidney ! " " I don't need her kidney ! " Genevieve looked up , her tears already dried . " Get out ! " you Nathaniel wanted to say more , but Elaine weakly tugged at his sleeve . " Nate ... let's just go . Give Genny some time to calm down ... " The moment the door to the ward closed , Genevieve collapsed onto the floor and wept silently . Three days later , Genevieve insisted on being discharged and going home . Her condition worsened by the day , yet she stubbornly refused further treatment . Nathaniel had the city's best jeweler restore the necklace before placing it in a velvet box and bringing it to her . He opened the box . " Genny , look , " he said , his voice almost coaxing . " It's as good as new . 0.00 % 22:24 Chapter 7 283 Vouchers Exactly the same as before . " Genevieve didn't even glance at it , she just stared out the window . Nathaniel then took out more than a dozen exquisite jewelry boxes and opened them one by one . " These are all the latest emerald necklaces . Pick whichever one you like ... " " Take them away . " Genevieve's voice was frighteningly calm . " I don't want them . " Just then , Elaine showed up , slipping her arm through Nathaniel's . " Nate , let Genny be . Once she's thought things through , this will all blow over ... ' " She lowered her head shyly . " Besides ... our month together is almost up . I want the rest of our time to be just the two of us ... " Nathaniel hesitated , glancing at Genevieve , then let Elaine pull him away . From that day on , he and Elaine were practically inseparable . They were out from morning till night , wrapped up in dates and outings , paying no attention at all to the changes in Genevieve . She slept longer and longer . Sometimes , while fetching a glass of water in the kitchen , she would suddenly faint and wake up on the floor - unnoticed by anyone . Her complexion grew ashen , and she needed the support of the walls just to walk . One morning , Genevieve struggled out of bed . Dizzy , she made her way downstairs , holding the handrail . Elaine walked behind her , deliberately raising her voice . " Nate's taking me on a date to the beach today . Genny , would you like to come along ? " Genevieve said nothing . Her vision swam , her legs weighed down . Just as she reached the last step , a sharp wave of vertigo hit her . She pitched backward , colliding with Elaine behind her . " Genevieve ! " Nathaniel's furious roar came from the living room . He rushed up in a flash , catching Elaine securely in his arms . Genevieve , meanwhile , crashed onto the marble floor , her forehead gushing with blood . 47.94 % 22:24 Chapter 7 288 Vouchers " What the hell are you doing ?!
