Chapter 136

Genevieve felt like she had been unconscious for a long time, but there was someone by her side, speaking into her ear daily.

The gentle, soft voice drifted to her from somewhere distant, coaxing her to wake up quickly.

She felt as if she would forever be immersed in the dark, suffocating seabed.

The chilling seawater swept through every pore of her body, a fate worse than death.

A vague image was forming in her mind.

When she had fallen to the bottom of the sea, thrashing to no avail, a figure had quickly and decisively jumped down to her side.

Visibility was limited in the inky bottom of the sea, but she caught a glimpse of the faint light he brought as he snatched her from the hands of death.

She would always remember that moment.

But soon, she ran out of air. She lost consciousness.

Just then, she awoke to a warm room. It was furnished in the Anglandurian style with heavy, elegant

curtains.

She was alive.

Looking at Louis before her, something seemed to squeeze her heart. Her eyes stung with tears, and she was both touched and grateful.

Louis walked up to her, and the doctor knowingly made way.

She could see her pale features reflected in his warm, clear eyes.

“I’m glad you are awake, Gen,” Louis said.

He thought, “It was worth it to gamble with my life unhesitatingly.”

“Thank you,” Genevieve said. She looked at him with a smile.

She guessed it. Louis had saved her.

She had seen Louis on that dark seabed.

Louis hesitated, but he couldn’t/help it. He pulled her into his arms,

but his action upset her body, and she was wracked with violent coughs.

Genevieve teared up.

Louis‘ expression shifted. He gently eased her back and glared at the doctor.
