His father's words made the hair behind the back of Yuvan's back stand. In the end, Yuvan muttered in slight exasperation, “Dad, I don't have that kind of feelings for Ms. Rachford. She came to take care of Grandpa here in Baykeep, and I'm settling some matters for her in return.”

“Do you want to try things out with her?” Phineus asked. “Genevieve's a nice person.”

Try things out with her?

Perhaps Yuvan might have entertained that thought in the past, but ever since he thought about how Genevieve might be his cousin, he dared not think about that anymore.

Yuvan rubbed the bridge of his nose for a while before persuading his father to leave.

Just as Phineus left, Genevieve returned with a bag of fruits. “I bumped into Dr. Salmond when I came up just now. Dr. Salmond says that General Zeigler is doing quite well, so he can be discharged.”

“I'll settle the discharge procedures in the afternoon then,” Yuvan said. “Let's have dinner at home.”

Genevieve shook her head and gave him a small smile. “I've been in Baykeep for too long. I'm sure my kids miss me, so I won't go back with you. Still, I'll come to visit General Zeigler in Baykeep whenever I'm free. Don't worry. I'll have Timothy keep supplying you the special medicine that Old Mr. Zeigler is taking.”

“Okay.” Although Yuvan was a little disappointed by her answer, he knew she had to prioritize her two children.


Yuvan then said to Genevieve, “I haven't contacted Mindy yet. One reason is that the news of my grandfather falling ill has traveled to the ears of others, and another reason is that I have a much higher status than her. If we message each other too frequently, I'm worried that she'll think it's a trap.”

“My, my,” Genevieve began. “You even know how to play hard to get now?”

Yuvan sighed. “Don't say such things, okay?”

“It's a compliment,” Genevieve explained.

After lunch, Genevieve read “Her Tearoom” to Herbert until it was after four in the evening. It was then Yuvan came, and he brought along someone.

Harry, who looked sweet as usual, was wearing a mustard yellow hoodie, which made him seem particularly lively and youthful.

“Genevieve.” Harry's eyes lit up when he saw Genevieve.

Genevieve smiled and asked, “Why are you here?”

“I saw the news of Old Mr. Zeigler's falling ill, and since I was on holiday and in Baykeep, I messaged Yuvan to check about it,” Harry explained. “Then, I came with him to the hospital.”

Yuvan was in the same class as Evan, and Evan was close to Harry. Therefore, it was nothing unusual for Harry to visit Herbert.

Half an hour later, Yuvan took Herbert away from the hospital.

Harry watched the car leave as he stood at the entrance of the hospital. A while later, he turned to Genevieve. “Genevieve, you don't look too happy. Why don't I accompany you around Baykeep before you go back to Jadeborough tomorrow instead?”

“My, my,” Genevieve began. “You even know how to play hard to get now?”

“How did you know that I'm not in a good mood?” Genevieve asked, amused. “Is it that obvious?”
