Chapter 12 

A hint of displeasure erupted within Armand‘s heart. He picked up the bowl of oatmeal that he had brought in earlier and drank a mouthful of it. Then, he leaned over to the woman and locked his lips on hers. Forcing open her mouth with his, he fed her the 

oatmeal through her teeth and down her throat. 

Perhaps Genevieve was too famished that she instinctively swallowed the oatmeal even in her slumber. 

Just like that, she was fed one mouth after another. In a matter of minutes, her stomach was filled with that bowl of oatmeal. Armand‘s bunched–up brows also relaxed on that 

note. 

He tried to withdraw his hand from the back of Genevieve‘s neck, yet she clenched his hand and placed his palm on her cheek. 

Mom… muttered Genevieve. It was as if she had found someone to rely on. Her warm tears soon wetted the man‘s hand. “I missed you so much... Bring me along with you.” 

Hanging his head low, Armand watched the woman quietly with an impassive gaze. “Genevieve, only you can save yourself.” 

He forcefully retracted his hand and left the room. 

In Genevieve‘s dream, she saw her long–gone parents. They came back to her just to reproach her for falling head over heels for Cooper and letting him swindle her out of their company. 

Their interrogation overwhelmed and hurt her so much that she could not even breathe. Sobbing miserably, she pleaded with them to take her with them. 

While she was in a daze, she heard someone telling her in her ear that only she could save herself.
