Chapter 91\u00a0<\/p>\n
Stella squirmed in Tristan\u2019s arms, muttering, \u201cNo\u2026 I don\u2019t want to\u2026\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Tristan warned coldly, \u201cStella, don\u2019t make me repeat myself.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Stella puckered her lips. It looked like she was about to burst into tears again. She couldn\u2019t help but think both Genevieve and Tristan were bad people. All they ever did was bully her!\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019ll do it,\u201d Genevieve stated, unable to watch anymore.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She grabbed the glass from Tristan\u2019s hand and picked up a small, unopened piece of chocolate from the nightstand. After peeling the wrapper, she brought it to Stella\u2019s lips, deliberately softening her tone.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She said, \u201cIf you take the medicine, this is yours.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Stella\u2019s gaze darted back and forth between the medicine and the chocolate.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Genevieve coaxed, \u201cFinish it, and the whole piece is yours.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
In the end, Stella surrendered. With a frown, she held her breath. With Genevieve\u2019s help, she gulped the medicine in a few loud swallows. The moment she was done, Genevieve popped the chocolate into her mouth.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The sweetness instantly washed away the bitterness. She smacked her lips a few times and finally quieted down.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Tristan watched Stella settle back against his chest before glancing at Genevieve beside him with a complicated gaze. He loosened his hold, but Stella instinctively grabbed the hem of his shirt. She mumbled, \u201cTristan, don\u2019t go\u2026\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Upon hearing that, Tristan froze. It was the first time Stella had ever addressed him like that\u2014and he had even scared her just now. His heart softened; she was his his half\u2013sister, after all.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Genevieve got up and said, \u201cYou take the first half of the night. I\u2019ll take the second.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Tristan hummed in response. Then, Genevieve turned and walked out of the room, quietly closing the door behind her.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Tristan sat on the chair by the bed. He watched as Stella\u2019s breathing gradually evened out. He had never imagined that his life would include caring for a sick child, let alone doing it in such unspoken coordination with another woman.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He pulled out his phone and sent Liam a message. \u201cCancel all meetings for tomorrow morning.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
At 4:00 am, Genevieve pushed the door open and saw that Tristan was still in the same position as before. He seemed lonely under the dim light.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She said, \u201cGet some sleep. I\u2019ll take over.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
He raised his head, still looking alert. \u201cNo need. You should rest.\u2018\u00a0<\/p>\n
She pressed, \u201cNo, you should rest. Otherwise, people might start saying I\u2019m bullying you.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Tristan fell silent for a moment. Surprisingly, he didn\u2019t argue. When he got up and brushed past Genevieve, he murmured,\u2018 Thank you.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
11\u00a0<\/p>\n
She replied, \u201cThank you too.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
During the second half of the night, Stella\u2019s fever continued to come and go. Genevieve kept replacing the towel on Stella\u2019s forehead. She also used warm water to wipe Stella\u2019s palms and soles, trying to bring the fever down.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Though Stella was a little troublemaker, she truly looked like an angel when she was asleep. She had long lashes and fair skin. Zachary and Tristan were good\u2013looking, so naturally, she had inherited the best of genes.\u00a0<\/p>\n

A faint light crept in through the window. At last, the medicine fully took effect. Stella\u2019s temperature dropped, and her breathing grew steady. It was only then that Genevieve finally relaxed. She leaned against the edge of the bed and rested her head on her arm, drifting into a deep sleep.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Sometime later, the door was pushed open. The moment Tristan walked in, he saw Genevieve sleeping by the bed. The morning light filtered through the sheer curtains and bathed her in a warm, golden glow.\u00a0<\/p>\n
As she slept, her sharpness faded away. Her expression was relaxed and peaceful. She looked like a beautiful oil painting frozen in time.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Without realizing it, Tristan slowed his steps until they were almost soundless. He stopped beside the bed, keeping his eyes\u00a0<\/p>\n
on Genevieve.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The apartment\u2019s temperature was regulated, but the difference between night and day was noticeable. Yet, Genevieve was only wearing a thin set of loungewear.\u00a0<\/p>\n
With a frown, Tristan took off his cashmere coat and gently draped it over her shoulders without hesitation. Then, he stood there silently, his gaze tracing her sleeping face, almost greedily.\u00a0<\/p>\n
