Chapter 116 Just In Time

After returning to Swallow Garden, Patrick told Maria what had happened.

She immediately went upstairs to pack some of Genevieve’s things without saying a word, then left the house with him.

Genevieve was the only person she wanted to care for, so she would go wherever the former was.

While taking Maria to Regality Gardens, Patrick received a call from Steven asking whether he had brought Genevieve to the hospital to get the burns on her legs treated.

“No,” Patrick replied, pressing his lips together as he thought about the injuries on Genevieve’s legs. “She detests the disinfectant smell of the hospital.”

“That’s because Mrs. Faulkner’s grandmother passed away suddenly while in the hospital,” Steven explained.

Patrick added as he continued driving, “Steven, they’re serious burns. The doctor said if we don’t get them treated and wait too long, they could easily leave behind unsightly scars. Genev doesn’t want to stay at Swallow Garden either. She purchased an apartment at Regality Gardens, so I’m taking Maria there now so she can look after her.”

“All right. I’ll inform Mr. Faulkner about it later. You stay with them and watch over Mrs. Faulkner. Think of a way to get her to the hospital as soon as possible and get her injuries treated.”
