My Husband Is a Gary Stu

Chapter 41

Chapter 41 Are You That Strong
Is there a blackout?
Genevieve switched on the flashlight on her phone in a hurry. Through the window by the corridor, she could see that the streetlamps were still lit. She could faintly hear Steven’s voice saying that he would check if the circuit breaker tripped.
I should just pass him the suit tomorrow when he’s free.
Just as Genevieve was about to head back with her stuff, she vaguely heard some sounds inside the room.
It sounded as if something was being knocked down.
She was worried that the sudden blackout caused Armand to knock into something on accident and worsen the wound on his back. Thus, she instantly knocked on the door and asked, “Mando, are you all right?”
“Mr. Faulkner?”
After a few knocks, Genevieve started to panic when there was no response from Armand.
Just as she was about to kick the door down, Armand’s muffled voice suddenly sounded from inside. “Come in. The door’s not locked.”
“Okay.” Genevieve then heaved a sigh of relief when she knew that he was all right.

She entered the room while holding her phone, but after walking one round around Armand’s huge room, there still seemed to be no sign of him.
Shortly after, she noticed that the restroom door was closed and walked over. “Mando, are you in the restroom?”
“Yeah.” A tall figure appeared behind the glass door to the restroom. “During the blackout just now, I realized that I couldn’t open the door to the restroom. Could you try to open it from the outside?”
“Okay. Give me a second.”
When Genevieve shone the flashlight of her phone at the door, she found that there was a towel stuck in the gap underneath the door.
“Mando, I think the towel got stuck under the door by accident when you went in.” Genevieve tried to tug at the towel, but it didn’t budge no matter how hard she tried.
With that, she stood up and suggested, “Why don’t you take a step back? I’ll try to slam the door open.”
“Are you that strong?” Armand was doubtful.
“I can try…”
Genevieve positioned her phone upright onto a chair so that it shone onto the restroom. She then took a deep breath and rammed into the door with all her might.
The first time she hit it, her shoulders felt sore. Despite that, she still couldn’t knock the door open.
Inside the restroom, Armand was sharp to hear her gasping in pain. It was evident that she was hurt from trying to knock the door down. “Stop trying. Get Patrick to come up and help instead.”
“It’s fine. I’ll try again,” Genevieve responded as she rubbed her shoulder, which was in pain. She tried a different angle and rammed into the door again with her left shoulder.
All of a sudden, the door opened. Genevieve didn’t manage to grab the door handle to steady herself, and thus she flew straight into the bathroom from the impact.
Under the dim light that shone in from the outside, Armand reached out and tried to support Genevieve. However, he ended up stumbling backward as she rammed into him.
For some reason, the shower was turned on. Water gushed down from above them, causing them to be completely drenched.
Due to the violent impact on Armand’s back, his wound split open. He groaned in pain and reached backward, hurriedly turning the shower off.
Genevieve was also shivering after being drenched in the cold water. After coming back to her senses, she saw that Armand was also soaked under the dim light. His black hair stuck to his forehead, and he wore an extremely grim expression.
