Genevieve had never loved Jack, but he loved her dearly. In fact, she was the reason he could survive. He could do anything for her and adored her children, too.

She knew she had wasted Jack's time and owed him a lot.

Initially, she could slowly return the favor together with Armand. She gave Amanda to him and Lilian so Amanda could take care of them when they grew old.

Alas, Jack didn't let that happen. He used his life to save Armand so she would owe him a huge favor.

It was only then that Armand realized Genevieve's previous breakdown wasn't just about Amanda's faked death and Charice's matter. It was because she felt guilty over Jack's sacrifice, too.

She couldn't get over the fact that she owed Jack too much and was drowning in guilt.

Armand's heart clenched painfully as he pulled her into his arms. Wiping her tears away, he said gently, “Darling, don't blame yourself. I'm the one who got his heart, so I'm the one who owes him one. I don't mind if you can't forget him as long as you are healthy.”

“Look at me.” He cradled her face and met her eyes. “I'm your husband, your loved one. I should be shouldering all your burdens.”

Tears gushed down Genevieve's cheeks as she buried her face in Armand's chest and hugged him tightly.

The rain eased up, and the sun was beginning to show itself. After crying her heart out and hearing Armand's comforting words, Genevieve quickly regained her composure as the negative feelings in her heart receded.

She told Armand to drive her to the airport.

On the way there, Armand contacted the airline to charter a plane.

When they arrived at the airport, the bodyguards Steven sent were already there.

At the gate, she gave Armand a hug and said gently, “Someone needs to take care of Lucian and Mandy, so you should stay. I can head to Lostaria myself.”

Armand gazed at her, a turmoil of emotions flashing across his dark eyes.

Brushing a finger across his cheek, Genevieve flashed a smile. “After Zephyr faked his death, he stopped sending his men to Chanaea. He's afraid of you and also needs my help, so he won't let me die. Even if he calls the shots in Lostaria, he won't lay a hand on me.”

After a pause, she added, “You also assigned a few bodyguards to protect me, so I'll be fine.” She stood on her tiptoes to give him a kiss. “I'll be in contact after I arrive.”

Armand replied, “Okay.”

He cradled her cheek and deepened the kiss, showing her how much he loved her.

After the kiss ended, he released her and whispered, “I'll be waiting for your return.”

He knew Genevieve was stubborn and wouldn't change her mind no matter what he said, so he decided to let her go. If something happened to Genevieve, he wouldn't live on alone either.

Genevieve watched Armand get into his car before she entered the departure hall with the bodyguards and headed to the lounge.

The airline was still trying to find a pilot, so it would take a while before she could board the plane. In the lounge, she gave Lilian a call.

Lilian said, “I heard you're not doing well.”
