“What about Aunt Jojo? Do you think she likes him?” Genevieve inquired after a short pause.

“Well, she lets him in every time and even asks him to stay back for meals, so I guess she likes him too. That's not what she's like with Uncle Tim. Aunt Jojo is always moody when she sees him and even asks the guards to chase him away.”

Genevieve massaged her temple, feeling an incoming headache.

Johanna must be wholly disgusted by what Timothy did. What do I do if she falls in love with other men?

Suddenly, the housekeeper's shrieks came from outside the room. “Find a way to prevent Aunt Jojo from falling for that man. Do your best, okay?”

The abrupt end of the conversation left Lucian speechless.

How would I find a way for that!

Meanwhile, Genevieve swung the door open and ran out, only to see the other housekeepers rushing into Herbert's room, so she also fastened her pace.

When she reached the room, she saw how pale Herbert's face was, and he was coughing violently. A gush of blood spewed from his mouth and stained his pillow red.

The housekeepers were all horrified.

Darting to the bed, Genevieve took a handkerchief and wiped the blood on the corner of Herbert's mouth. “Get a stretcher,” she instructed the housekeepers calmly.

“I already called the doctor over,” one of them informed anxiously.

“Old Mr. Zeigler's condition is not looking good. He just coughed up blood, so we need to send him for a check at the hospital. Quick! Get me a stretcher. Get two bodyguards here too.”

Two housekeepers nodded and dashed out to carry out the orders. One went to get the car ready, while the other went to bring in the guards.

As trained ex-members of the military, they got everything sorted quickly. They brought a stretcher, put Herbert in the car, and rushed him to the hospital, with Genevieve following behind.

“Call the hospital and tell them General Zeigler is coughing blood and is unconscious. Tell them to be prepared,” Genevieve told the guards as she fished for her phone from her pocket to call Yuvan, but the latter did not pick up, as he was occupied.

Genevieve called him repeatedly while they were at the hospital. Still, the call did not get through even until Herbert was pushed into the emergency room, so she could only wait patiently outside, clutching her phone.

After receiving the news from the guards, those from the Zeigler family arrived at the hospital after ten minutes.

Since all three of Herbert's sons were caught up in work and did not even have the time to return home during usual times, they did not make it to the hospital when Herbert was admitted that day. Those who came were Herbert's grandchildren, who were residing in Baykeep.

Suddenly, one of them shot forward from the crowd in surprise. “Genevieve! What are you doing here?” he asked, not expecting the woman to be here.

Two housekeepers nodded and dashed out to carry out the orders. One went to get the car ready, while the other went to bring in the guards.

Genevieve recognized him right away. He was none other than the man Coco almost married—Miles Zeigler.
