Genevieve lay quietly on the operating table , her face pale and her lips devoid of color . She looked like a delicate doll , silent and motionless , never to awaken again . " Alas . " Genevieve's doctor , Jaime Bowman , sighed deeply , unable to bear the sight , and kept calling Nathaniel over and over . The sound of the phone dialing echoed countless times , but no one ever answered . It was obvious that Nathaniel had already turned off his phone . Genevieve had no other family , so there was no one to notify to claim her body . Jaime and the nurses were helpless ; they could only move her to the morgue for temporary storage , waiting for Nathaniel to come and take her away the next day . Meanwhile , outside the house , a fierce wind was blowing , thunder and lightning raged , and Nathaniel was holding Elaine , gently patting her back to comfort her . " Don't be afraid , I'm here . The thunder will pass soon , nothing will happen . " " Mm ... " Elaine nestled in his arms , her slender body trembling with every clap of thunder . Yet in the corner where Nathaniel couldn't see , there was not a trace of fear on her face ; instead , her lips curled up ever so slightly . Nathaniel didn't notice ; he just absentmindedly patted her back , soothing her in a gentle voice . But a strange pain inexplicably welled up in his chest , prickling and uneasy . He pressed his lips tightly together , feeling as if something unbearable had happened at that very moment . No , nothing will happen . Nathaniel steeled his gaze , trying to reassure himself . As long as today passed , tomorrow he could take Elaine to give Genny a kidney , and Genny would surely be fine . 0.00 % 22:24 Chapter 9 288 ¡ Vouchers He forcibly suppressed the sense of unease in his heart , carried Elaine to the bed , tucked her in , and sat on the chair by the bedside , holding her hand and speaking softly : " Go to sleep now , it's getting late . I'll stay here with you tonight . With me here , you don't have to be afraid of the thunder outside . " Elaine shrank back twice , and seeing his concern , she tugged at his sleeve . " Nate , you've been tired all day . Sitting here all night can't be comfortable . This bed is big enough for two . Why don't you sleep with me ? You need to rest so you can be ready for the surgery with me and Genny tomorrow . " Nathaniel hesitated for a moment , but still refused . " No need , you just sleep . I'm not tired . Our one - month relationship agreement has expired , so I'm not your boyfriend anymore . If Genny found out , she'd definitely get jealous and throw a fit . " Mentioning Genevieve , he smiled helplessly . " Genny was already jealous about us before , and she was upset for a long time . I don't want her to misunderstand again . " Elaine lowered her eyes , her gaze dimming . She felt a bit dissatisfied , but pretended to understand . " Alright then , I'll try to sleep . You promised to stay with me , so you can't leave me tonight . " As she spoke , she entwined her fingers with Nathaniel's , stubbornly refusing to let go . Nathaniel frowned slightly , but said nothing more and let her be . After turning his phone back on , he saw countless missed calls from Jaime , which made him feel a bit puzzled . Where's Genny ? I haven't seen her . Which room is she in ? " Nathaniel frowned slightly , his heart inexplicably racing . Jaime hesitated , but finally blurted out , " Mr. Weston , Ms. Kershaw ... she passed away yesterday ! There's no way to do the transplant now ! " " I called you countless times , but you never answered . She had no other family , so she's being kept in the morgue for now . Are you here to claim her body ?
