Chapter 75\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI can\u2019t move my hand,\u201d said Tristan.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Just one line, and he successfully left Genevieve at a loss for words.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She was so infuriated that her chest hurt, but she couldn\u2019t lash out. All she could do was shoot a glare at him and walk back into the kitchen.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Watching her exasperated back as she stormed off, Tristan couldn\u2019t help but curl his lips into a smile.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Gradually, the aroma of a tonic filled the apartment.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Genevieve brought a freshly\u2013made tonic out and walked to the couch. The dark brown liquid appeared even thicker in the white ceramic cup.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThe tonic is ready,\u201d she said while putting the cup on the coffee table.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Tristan looked up, his eyes shifting from the TV to her before finally landing on the cup of tonic.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He didn\u2019t budge at all.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Genevieve frowned and asked, \u201cAre you not going to drink it?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cMy hand hurts. I can\u2019t hold the cup properly,\u201d Tristan replied lazily.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Genevieve felt her breath catch immediately.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She stared at his gorgeous face. It seemed to scream that he was clearly the boss there. She gritted her teeth so hard that they were grinding.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She had met shameless people, but never anyone as bad as Tristan.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Still\u2026\u00a0<\/p>\n
She told herself it was fine and suppressed her emotions.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cAlright, I\u2019ll feed you,\u201d said Genevieve.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She picked up the cup and held a spoonful of tonic to his lips with a blank expression.\u00a0<\/p>\n
A flicker of mirth crossed Tristan\u2019s eyes, flashing by so quickly that it was barely noticeable.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He lowered his head a little and drank the tonic. The hot tonic rolled down his throat, tasting extremely bitter. Yet for some inexplicable reason, he felt a hint of sweetness deep down.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He looked at Genevieve\u2019s face, which was within an arm\u2019s reach now. Her gaze was lowered, making her long, thick lashes cast a faint shadow beneath her eyes, hiding all her emotions.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She always looked aloof, but now her face was slightly flushed from anger. She looked just like a rose blooming in the harsh snow\u2013cold but attractive.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s too hot,\u201d he said.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Genevieve paused and lifted her gaze, looking at him icily.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cMr. Hale, it\u2019s a bitter tonic, but it\u2019s only effective if you drink it while it\u2019s hot,\u201d she said.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI said it\u2019s hot,\u201d he repeated.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Genevieve was speechless.\u00a0<\/p>\n
There was nothing she could do about it. He was the patient, so he had the final say.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Chapter 75\u00a0<\/p>\n
2\/2\u00a0<\/p>\n
Resigned to her fate, she held the spoon to her lips and blew on the tonic. Her warm breath fanned across the brown tonic, making small ripples across its surface.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Her full, rosy lips were beautiful, and they were slightly puckered as she blew on the tonic. Tristan couldn\u2019t help but gulp, his gaze darkening instantly.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The air seemed to grow thick and heavy.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Genevieve was oblivious to all of it. She checked the tonic\u2019s temperature and held the spoon to Tristan\u2019s lips again.\u00a0<\/p>\n
One spoonful after another, she finally finished feeding Tristan, though it was no easy feat.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Genevieve let out a sigh of relief once Tristan finished the tonic. Then she went back into the kitchen to clean up.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She spent a long time in the kitchen before she finally managed to calm down. Only then did she walk out.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Leaning against the wall, she crossed her arms over her chest and looked at the gloomy sky outside the window. She couldn\u2019t help it as her thoughts drifted off, making her think about the Yates family.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Zachary had been arrested, while Soren was at large. They also only just touched the tip of the iceberg with exposing Sloane Pharmaceuticals\u2018 shady dealings.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She recalled how Heron had held her hand and pleaded with her before she left the mausoleum.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cForget it, my child. Just stop right here. The Yates family can\u2019t weather another storm. Just pretend that the Seeker\u2019s Twinstone never existed,\u201d he urged.\u00a0<\/p>\n
