My Husband Is a Gary Stu

Cooper retracted his hand expressionlessly. “My foul mood has nothing to do with her. It's about work.”

“Do you think I'll believe that?” Amanda asked while tilting her head.

The girl quickly slipped down from the chair when Cooper was about to flick her forehead in feigned anger. “I'm done eating. I'll be going to school now!”

Armand stood up and walked to the door, handed Amanda her bag, and squatted down.

Amanda stood on tiptoes and planted a kiss on Armand's face. “Goodbye, Daddy! Today is another day of loving you. Don't miss me too much!”

She even flashed a finger heart at Armand.

Armand gazed at the girl's adorable features that resembled Genevieve's. She was so similar to her mother that even their tiny gestures and the way they blinked were the same.

His heart melted. “I'll make dessert for you tonight.”

He then helped Lucian put on his school bag. Noticing that Lucian was staring at him, Armand raised his hand to touch the boy's face.

Armand asked, “What's wrong?”

Lucian, who was usually aloof and distant, gave his father a peck on the cheek. It was a rare occasion, for the boy never liked intimate gestures as such. “Daddy, you are awesome. I want to be like you when I grow up.”

Although Lucian still couldn't understand how his dead father came back alive, he found that the latter was truly amazing.

Armand watched both of the children get into the car. When Amanda waved at him, he was reminded of Genevieve and began to miss her badly. Soon after, he made a call to the private hospital abroad.

After a few minutes, Armand received a video from the hospital.

In the spacious and brightly lit ward, Genevieve was lying motionlessly on the hospital bed as if she was asleep. Her skin was pale as she had been staying indoors for a prolonged period of time.

Armand watched the video without even blinking once to make sure that Genevieve was breathing steadily.

He could vaguely see beads of sweat on Genevieve's forehead. However, he could not zoom in on the video, so he called the attending doctor. “She seems to be sweating. Go to the ward and check on her.”

Armand still couldn't relax after talking to the attending doctor, so he stayed connected with the doctor via video call. Through the video call, he saw the doctor enter the ward to check on Genevieve's condition.

The doctor then reported, “Ms. Rachford is all right. The nurse accidentally splashed some water on her face while wiping her body.”

Armand frowned upon hearing that. “Get another nurse to take care of her. You guys are so careless in your work. She can't even sleep peacefully.”

The doctor hastily assented.

After Armand ended his call with the hospital, Cooper, who was sitting across from him at the dining table, looked at the former and said, “How about I go and visit Genev? I can help transfer her to another private hospital with better service.”

Armand rejected Cooper's suggestion. “You have your fair share of work to attend to at the company. I'll go and keep her company after dealing with the Gaudette family's issues.”

He then drank all the leftover oat milk that the children didn't finish so as to avoid wasting food.
