Submitting To My Billionaire Ex-Wife by Allison Mild ( Genevieve)

Chapter 64

Genevieve’s face darkened. She ran over immediately in the direction the server was pointing at

She couldn’t think about anything and was just worried that Selene would be in danger.

She pushed the door open and entered the room. Then, she turned around, only to find that it was locked from outside.

Genevieve’s expression changed slightly, and she continued to bang on the door. “Someone, open the door. Help!”

The private room was dimly lit and narrow, like a-long–unused utility room with lots of things piled up.

She gradually became nervous. An inexplicable fear spread from the bottom of her heart.

No one knew she was claustrophobic.

She took a deep breath and tried to reach the light switch on the wall but to no avail.

Soon, she sensed something was wrong. It was as if she could smell something burning.

The smell was getting stronger. She was choked by the smoke and started coughing.

She had left her phone somewhere.

There was a sense of helplessness all over her body. She could only curl up and lean against the door, breathing in the thin air from outside.

Nevertheless, this method was not so effective.

The smoke came from another room in the private room, and there seemed to be waves of heat rushing in.

There was something burning.

Genevieve was struggling. She was already covering her mouth and nose. She was coughing non– stop until she couldn’t

even speak.

But no matter how hard she slammed the door, there was no movement at all outside.

She didn’t understand who would use Selene’s name to hurt her.

This was just too cruel.

“Help…” Her voice had turned hoarse, but there was still no sound outside.

Genevieve’s fear gradually spread. That anxiety seemed to attack her heart again. She clenched her fists while her whole body was shaking slightly.

It was just like the day when she could feel the baby slowly flowing out of her body, and she felt totally helpless

No matter how hard she tried, she couldn’t keep the child. She had been looking forward to his arrival so much.

She wanted to be invincible. She wanted the people who had done her harm to be consigned to eternal damnation. Nonetheless, she hadn’t succeeded in doing it yet.

She was as fragile as grass. She was easily set up by others.

She was reluctant to give up just yet. She felt that she was really useless!

Smoke slowly shrouded her shrinking body like death, plundering every inch of her breath. The darkness in front of her was overwhelming and surging.

Just when she was about to lose consciousness, she suddenly heard the sound of the smoke alarm.

It seemed that someone was fleeing in a hurry. However, no one cared about Genevieve, who was locked up in the private room, although she tried making some tiny movements.

The more she had her hopes high, the more disappointed she became.

Just when she was in great despair, she heard footsteps coming from the opposite direction outside all of a sudden. seemed that they were hurriedly knocking on the door of every private room and shouting for her loudly, “Genevieve!”

Her consciousness was awakened, and she couldn’t help coughing when she tried to speak. She banged on the door and finally managed to attract the attention of people on the outside.

A man kicked the door open and stood there. She could indistinctly make out that his stoic silhouette was tall and upright. He looked as though he was anxious and flustered.

“It’s Anthony who came to my rescue!‘ Genevieve exclaimed inwardly.

He dashed inside and picked Genevieve up, who was curled up in the corner. His eyes were full of panic, and his hands

were trembling.

“Genevieve, don’t be scared. You’ll be okay…” he incoherently comforted her, as if he were also comforting himself. She was

about to lose consciousness.

His chest was warm yet indifferent, like a piece of ice that could not be melted. She was afraid of frostbite but eager to get

close.

He strode out, his voice a little cold and quivering. “Doctor, call a doctor…”

He was so flustered that he lost his calmness and self–control.

He was a little surprised that fear just now swallowed him up like a whirlpool.

Especially when he saw her on the verge of dying in the smokey private room, it was as though his heart had been torn

apart.

At this point, Genevieve didn’t know what to feel, but a complicated emotion spread through her heart. It was so intense that she had difficulty breathing.

She loved him deeply and yet loathed him deeply too.

Anthony eventually paid back the life he had owed her.

She completely fell into unconsciousness.

Genevieve was slightly polsoned due to inhaling excessive carbon monoxide. After the rescue, she fell asleep for two days before waking up at the hospital.

When she opened her eyes, she realized that she was in an unfamiliar room with the smell of disinfectant and white

curtains.

Jeffrey moved closer to her and brushed her hair. His voice was gentle and careful. “You’re awake. Are you feeling well? I’ll call the doctor.”

He hurriedly called for the doctor and was informed that everything was okay after a series of checkups. Then only did he breathe a sigh of relief. “I had the fright of my life! So did Dad and Mom too. They ask you about your condition every two hours. I’m already at my limit!”

The corner of Genevieve’s mouth lifted. She smiled.

‘It’s great to be alive and see my loved ones, she admitted to herself.

“Jeffrey, I’m okay already,” she replied.

Jeffrey covered her with the blanket gloomily. “I can’t just let this incident slide. I asked about the cause of the fire, and it was reported that someone next door was doing a fire drill at that time and accidentally threw combustibles into the private room. But the windows don’t open out, so I suspect someone deliberately set the fire. Do you remember how you entered the room?”

Genevieve frowned slightly. She looked pale and weak, which made people feel bad for her. She recalled, “It’s a server. She told me Selene had been dragged into the room. I went there without thinking much, but the door was locked from the outside as soon as I stepped inside.”

“A server? That’s easy then. We can take a look and check one by one.” Jeffrey’s expression turned gloomy as he breathed

deeply. This content is © NôvelDrama.Org.

Genevieve was in such a danger this time that they could not remain indifferent.

Whoever it was, there was a price to pay.

Genevieve pursed her lips and looked out of the window. Suddenly, she heard someone knocking on the door.

Louis‘ voice could be heard. “Gen, I heard from the doctor that you woke up so I came.”

Louis didn’t look well, and the corners of his mouth seemed to be bruised. Nevertheless, his icy and noble aura still showed despite his injuries

Jeffrey nodded slightly and smiled. “Louis comes here several times a day. He brought me dinner these two days as well.”

Louis smiled and calmed down. “Of course. It’s my fault that I didn’t protect Gen properly.”

His attitude was a bit burdensome.

Jeffrey hesitated for a moment before he said, “It couldn’t be helped. Don’t take it to heart.”

Genevieve comforted him with a smile, “It’s not your fault, Mr. Fallon. Don’t think too much. Your face…”

“Why does it look like you’ve been beaten?‘ She continued her question silently in her heart.

Louis walked over and looked at her pale face with a gentle gaze. Then, he looked away nonchalantly and sat beside her smilingly. “Nothing. I just got hit several times out of nowhere. I just ran into Mr. Hoffman on the way here, and it seemed that Rosalie was bothering him. I heard that a child has been found, and they’re going to go bring the child home.”
