Chapter 73\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019ve sealed off the toxins for now. It\u2019ll take at least seven days for it to clear out of your system completely,\u201d said Genevieve as she stood up.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cMr. Hale!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Right then, an elite fighter in a black combat suit rushed in. It was one of Tristan\u2019s subordinates.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He glanced around and said to Tristan respectfully, \u201cIt\u2019s all taken care of, Mr. Hale. Zachary and the Sloane family, as well as all the evidence, have been handed over to the police. The car is ready. Let\u2019s head back to the Hale residence and let Dr. Zeller take care of your wounds.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Heron quickly echoed, \u201cYes, he\u2019s right. Mr. Hale, your injuries are more important. Hurry up and go to a hospital!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Tristan, however, didn\u2019t seem to hear them at all.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He looked up, his gaze landing on Genevieve. \u201cCan the toxins be cleared if I go to the hospital?\u201d he asked slowly.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThis type of poison was made using an ancient formula. The hospital might not be able to cure you,\u201d Genevieve answered.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cSo it looks like only you can save my life.\u201d Tristan\u2019s gaze grew deeper as he spoke.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Genevieve\u2019s heart skipped a beat, and a sense of foreboding crept up on her.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI can write you a prescription and let your subordinate get the medication for you,\u201d she replied, trying to draw a line. between them.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Tristan, however, sneered and got up slowly. \u201cThe treatment takes seven days, and my condition can deteriorate at any point during that time. Genevieve, do you think just a prescription would be enough?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
He took a step forward, and Genevieve instinctively took a step back. He stepped forward again, only stopping when her back hit the long table with the plaques on it.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Feeling a little troubled, Genevieve asked, \u201cWhat do you want then?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Tristan lowered his gaze and watched as she was backed into a corner. His gaze darkened,\u00a0<\/p>\n
Lifting his uninjured hand, he gently brushed a speck of dust off her face. The heat from his fingertip made her heart skip a\u00a0<\/p>\n
beat.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWhether my condition improves or not depends on you. I need a personal caretaker to watch over me around the clock. I need someone who knows the characteristics of this poison the best to monitor any changes at all times,\u201d said Tristan.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cTristan!\u201d Genevieve gritted her teeth and said, \u201cDon\u2019t push it!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI saved you and the Yates family,\u201d he said, reminding her calmly. \u201cNow, I\u2019m poisoned, and my life is in danger because of you guys.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
He paused and watched her expression change. Then he added leisurely, \u201cIs it too much for me to ask you to take responsibility?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Genevieve was speechless.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Was it too much? No, it wasn\u2019t.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Was it reasonable? It was too damn reasonable.\u00a0<\/p>\n
But she just couldn\u2019t shake the feeling that what he wanted wasn\u2019t as simple as being nursed back to health.\u00a0<\/p>\n
It was at this moment that Heron finally caught on.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Chapter 73\u00a0<\/p>\n
2\/2\u00a0<\/p>\n
He cleared his throat and immediately sold Genevieve out, even though they were on the same side.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cMr. Hale is right!\u201d he said. Looking pained, he pounded his chest and said, \u201cIt\u2019s because of the Yates family that you\u2019re hurt. We have to repay your kindness, no matter what. So Genevieve, just-\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cMr. Yates!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Genevieve shot a glance at Heron, making him swallow the rest of his words.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Tristan was very happy with Heron jumping in to help him.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He pulled his hand back and looked at Genevieve calmly before saying, \u201cShould we go to your place or mine?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
This wasn\u2019t a choice at all.\u00a0<\/p>\n
If she were to go to his place, she would be walking right into the lion\u2019s den.\u00a0<\/p>\n
But if they were to go to her place\u2026\u00a0<\/p>\n
Genevieve took a deep breath, closed her eyes, and finally accepted her fate.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cMine,\u201d she said.\u00a0<\/p>\n
No matter what, it was a fact that he had saved her. And she had never liked owing someone a favor.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Tristan couldn\u2019t hide his smile any longer.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cAlright,\u201d he replied.\u00a0<\/p>\n
