1\/7\/3\u00a0<\/p>\n
Genevieve felt her heart sink.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Not a coincidence? What did Raymond mean?\u00a0<\/p>\n
Mustering what little energy he had left, Raymond shoved something into Genevieve\u2019s hand.\u00a0<\/p>\n
It was an emerald bracelet. Although it still carried the warmth of Raymond\u2019s body, it was also strangely cool to the touch. There was also a totem engraved on it.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cKeep it. It used to be your mother\u2019s,\u201d Raymond croaked out, clutching Genevieve\u2019s hands in a vice grip. He stared at her with wide eyes and said, \u201cRemember\u2026 don\u2019t trust anyone\u2026\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Before he could finish, he suddenly started convulsing, and his eyes rolled to the back of his\u00a0<\/p>\n
head.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The ECG monitor next to the bed started beeping loudly.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cDoctor! Please help!\u201d Genevieve yelled, her face turning pale.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The Lamberts\u2018 family doctor rushed in along with Zachary and a few others.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cQuick! Prepare the defibrillators!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
The doctor rushed to save Raymond, but the ECG monitor was already showing a flat line as a long beep rang out.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m sorry, Mr. Lambert. Mr. Lambert Senior is\u2026\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Zachary crumpled onto the floor.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The hospital room filled with the sound of crying.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Genevieve\u2019s mind went blank, yet her body reacted before she could think about it.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She stepped forward. \u201cMove!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
The crowd froze. They watched as she took out a small bag of silver needles from her handbag.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Then she took out a handful of silver needles and rapidly sanitized them with alcohol swabs.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She looked like an entirely different person.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She remained completely silent as she pierced the needles into Raymond\u2019s philtrum, solar plexus, and other important pulse points with precision.\u00a0<\/p>\n
However, no miracles occurred. The line on the ECG monitor remained as flat as ever.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Chapter 59\u00a0<\/p>\n
Genevieve checked Raymond\u2019s pulse. It had completely ceased.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She let her hand fall to her side, feeling a sense of helplessness rack through her entire body.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She knew her skills couldn\u2019t bring anyone back from the dead.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Just as she pulled her hand away, her fingertips brushed against a barely noticeable bump.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She paused.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Without a word, she pulled Raymond\u2019s collar aside and studied his skin under the bright lights. There, just beneath his skin, was a tiny red pinprick even smaller than the tip of a\u00a0<\/p>\n
needle.\u00a0<\/p>\n
It was as if he had once been pierced by something extremely thin.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Genevieve recalled how she had deduced that Raymond would have another month to live. And\u00a0<\/p>\n
yet\u2026\u00a0<\/p>\n
Her gaze darkened slowly.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Something was wrong. There was more to Raymond\u2019s death than met the eye.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Raymond\u2019s funeral was held the next day. It was a solemn affair.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The room was filled with figures dressed in black. Genevieve, too, was in a black dress. Her cold expression made her seem like a mere acquaintance of Raymond\u2019s.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She was still thinking about the strange red pinprick on Raymond\u2019s neck.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Suddenly, a tall figure appeared in front of her.\u00a0<\/p>\n
It was Zachary. He was dressed in a clean\u2013cut black suit. His eyes were bloodshot, and he looked incredibly exhausted.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cGen,\u201d he said in a hoarse voice. \u201cI know how devastated you must be. Grandpa\u2026 He loved you the most. All he wanted was for us to be happy together. Let\u2019s stop fighting, okay?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
As he spoke, he reached out for Genevieve\u2019s shoulder.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Genevieve\u2019s gaze turned frosty, and she was about to step back.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Just then, a large, slender hand suddenly shot out and grabbed Zachary\u2019s wrist.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Zachary\u2019s expression immediately soured. \u201cTristan, what the hell are you trying to do?\u201d he gritted out through clenched teeth.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Tristan said, \u201cMy condolences, Mr. Lambert. But getting handsy with your wife at your grandfather\u2019s funeral hardly seems appropriate, don\u2019t you think?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYou!\u201d Zachary trembled with anger, yet he still couldn\u2019t shake Tristan\u2019s hand off. \u201cThis is between Genevieve and me! You\u2019re just an outsider\u2013you have no right to interfere!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
