As though having understood something, Cooper turned to him with narrowed eyes. “Who attacked Genev on the cruise then?”

“That's not something we can find out easily. All the surveillance cameras were shut down when that happened, and there were too many staff members on board.” Armand grew livid at the mention of that incident.

Sylvie died, and Jack was now taking care of Lilian.

Genevieve wasn't even considered a businesswoman, so Armand couldn't fathom why anyone would want to kill her, let alone be at odds with her.

“Give me a list of the guests and employees who were on the cruise that day. I'll look into it,” offered Cooper.

Then, he frowned upon remembering something. “I've been wanting to ask you this. Why did you become Robert Zane's godson?” he questioned before pausing briefly and turning to Armand. “Genev was upset for a really long time after coming back from Sally's birthday party.”

He understood Armand and knew how much the latter loved Genevieve.

He disappeared for a few months and suddenly came back as Robert Zane's godson. I seriously thought he'd get himself a new wife too.

“It's a long story,” Armand replied in frustration.

Upon arriving at the north entrance to the hospital, he explained to Cooper everything that had happened.

After a long moment of silence, Cooper remarked, “I would've done the same if I were you. It's just sad to not be able to spend the rest of your days with the person you love and watch your kid grow up.”

“Well, you can blame your dad for marrying so many women and giving you bad karma,” he added jokingly. “That's why the universe keeps trying to separate you and your wife.”

Armand rubbed his temples in exasperation before unbuckling his seatbelt. “You take the car.”

After alighting the vehicle, he turned to Cooper once again. “Sally's become a little irrational now, so you'd best listen to whatever she says. Don't do anything even if she tries to hit you while she's injured and lying in bed.”

A chill ran down Cooper's spine as he thought back to how Sally had broken his arm at the underground parking lot.

That woman was certainly not to be underestimated.

Cooper left the car in the parking lot before heading straight for the elevator to the inpatient department. Armand had already told him which floor Sally was on.

Arriving outside her ward, Cooper spoke to the bodyguard standing at the door. “I'm Cooper Sutton. Could you please inform Ms. Loake that I'm here to see her?”

The bodyguard entered the ward briefly before opening the door to let the man in.

Upon noticing that Sally was on the phone, Cooper lightened his own footsteps while walking over and placed a fruit basket on the table.

The woman hung up shortly after and tossed her phone onto the bedside desk before turning to Cooper.

“Would you like some water?”
