My Husband Is a Gary Stu

Chapter 830

“Drink some water first,” Yuvan said as he handed a bottle to Genevieve.

The next second, he leaned back in his seat and shared his story. “Since last month, my grandfather's health has been deteriorating. He had made six hospital visits in total, but when he returned home, he started coughing up blood again. It got so bad that he could only stay in bed most of the time. At Grandpa's age, it doesn't help that his old problems are acting up, and he's been so gloomy and depressed. The doctor said that if his mood doesn't improve, he might only have three months left...”

One thing was for sure—there was no hiding the quaver in Yuvan's voice toward the end.

Although Genevieve had only met Herbert Ziegler a few times, she knew he was a warm and kind person.

He wasn't even eighty years old, yet his body was already in such a terrible state. That, without a doubt, made her incredibly sad.

“I'm so sorry...” Genevieve said softly. “I shouldn't have exposed Sylvie in front of General Zeigler that day.”

Even after his wife passed away from the pain of their loss, Herbert never gave up searching for their long-lost daughter. If he hadn't learned that Sylvie was a fraud, he wouldn't have become so sullen and moody.

Of course, it was never Genevieve's intention to hurt Herbert, but at the same time, she couldn't let Sylvie wreak havoc by taking advantage of the Zeigler family.

“If you truly feel sorry, show it with your actions,” Yuvan replied. “Come stay at the Zeigler residence for a few days and spend time with my grandfather.”


For a moment, Genevieve was stunned. “Why me? Don't you have many female cousins?”

I've only met General Zeigler a few times, for goodness' sake.

“Our driver said Grandpa really enjoyed talking to you the other time, probably because you and Grandma share the same personality traits. Did you know that she used to be a diplomat?”

“Yes. Your grandfather has mentioned it before. However, are you sure he'll feel better with me around?”

“I have no idea either, but it's worth a try,” Yuvan answered with a bitter chuckle. “My cousins and I have taken turns looking after him, yet no matter how hard we try, we just can't seem to cheer him up.”

After pondering for a moment, Genevieve took out her phone. “Does your grandfather have any hobbies?”

“Oh, yes. Grandpa loves walks, fishing, chess, and reading foreign language books. However, for the languages he doesn't understand, he'd need someone to translate for him...”

As Yuvan went on, Genevieve made it a point to note everything down on her memo.

A while later, she stretched her wrists and looked out of the car window, only to realize they were now in the city.

She rattled off a restaurant's address to the driver without further ado. “Please take us there first.”

By the time they had bought everything and arrived at the Zeigler residence, it was already four in the afternoon. When they stepped into the house, it just so happened that Zayne was also making his way down the stairs.

However, as soon as the latter's eyes fell on Genevieve, his grip on the railing instinctively tightened.

“I'm the one who invited Ms. Rachford over,” Yuvan announced as he handed his coat to the housekeeper and glanced at his cousin. “What's past is past. That fraud got what she deserved.”

Zayne instantly tensed up while his lips curled into a sneer. “If she didn't show up at Grandpa's birthday party, he wouldn't have ended up the way he is today!”

“Our driver said Grandpa really enjoyed talking to you the other time, probably because you and Grandma share the same personality traits. Did you know that she used to be a diplomat?”
