Lucian frowned and was about to start a fight with his sister.

Yet, Genevieve came to the living room, picked Amanda up, and headed back out while asking the housekeeper to watch over Lucian.

“Where are we going, Mommy?” Amanda asked, visibly perplexed.

“To the hospital,” Genevieve responded, forcing a smile and suppressing her nerves. “Didn't you say you have a sore throat? Let's get that checked, shall we?”

“Okay,” the girl replied, finding the situation odd.

Don't people go to the hospital during the day? Why is Mommy in such a rush to take me there now?

Johanna called while they were on the way to the hospital.

Only then did Genevieve realize she had taken off from Jazona Clubhouse in such a hurry that she left Johanna on her own there. Thus, she told the latter that Amanda was unwell and asked her to head back on her own later.

The woman then arrived at the emergency department and requested a CT scan, citing that her child was sick.

Given that the hospital had just received a new set of medical equipment and Genevieve was well-acquainted with Timothy, the medical staff quickly tended to Amanda. Then, the scans were ready in less than an hour.

“There seems to be something inside the child's right ear,” the doctor commented while peering at the film.

Genevieve gazed at where the doctor was pointing to. This was probably the miniature bomb Harry was talking about; it was barely the size of a thumb and particularly easy to overlook.

He wasn't joking.

At that very moment, the woman felt as though all her blood had left her, and she gritted her teeth. “Could you please arrange for a surgery—”

Her phone suddenly rang while she was speaking to the doctor.

Seeing that it was Harry, Genevieve suppressed her rage as much as she could and walked toward the window to answer the call.

“I suggest you not to do that, Genevieve,” Harry began. “Mandy's got the latest mini bomb inside her head. It's so unique that it'd explode if you try to take it out.”

The doctor was already using his own phone to call any available surgeon over.

Harry sighed as he overheard the conversation. “You'll be sorry if you don't believe me, Genevieve. Mandy's going to have her head blown into pieces inside that operating room.”

“Shut your mouth!” Genevieve was on the verge of breaking down.

Regardless of whether or not Harry was just messing with her head, it was true that there was something inside Amanda's ear, but Genevieve was now too afraid to proceed with the surgery.

Thus, she hung up and returned to the doctor. “Sorry, but I've decided not to let her have the surgery.”

Amanda waited outside in the hallway and skipped over as she saw her mother exit the doctor's office.

“Are we getting some medicine, Mommy?”

“There's no need for that.” Genevieve picked her up and headed to the elevator. “Let's go home.”

The little girl beamed upon learning that she didn't have to take any bitter medication, but she quickly realized how pale her mother looked.

He wasn't joking.

At that very moment, the woman felt as though all her blood had left her, and she gritted her teeth. “Could you please arrange for a surgery—”

“Whot's wrong, Mommy? You don't look so good,” she remorked when she noticed the womon's honds shoking.

Genevieve forced o smile. “I guess it wos too cold inside the doctor's office, ond I'm weoring such o short dress. Thot's why I'm shivering.”

Heoring thot, Amondo wropped her orms oround her mother's neck immediotely ond kissed the lotter's cheek severol times. “Then I'll worm you up!”

The two returned to Swollow Gorden obout ten minutes loter.

“Whot hoppened, Mommy?” osked Lucion. “You left in such o hurry with Mondy.”

“Mommy took me to the hospitol!” the little girl onswered. “They even did o scon on me, but we didn't hove to get ony medicine. My throot doesn't hurt onymore either.”

Lucion scoffed. “It'll definitely hurt tomorrow becouse of oll those chips you ote.”

Amondo shot her mother o sheepish glonce. “But I only hod three, ond I dronk lots of woter ofter thot!”

“Three? You meon o whole bunch—”
