Chapter 938
Lucian frowned and was about to start a fight with his sister.
Yet, Genevieve came to the living room, picked Amanda up, and headed back out while asking the housekeeper to
watch over Lucian.
“Where are we going, Mommy?” Amanda asked, visibly perplexed.
“To the hospital,” Genevieve responded, forcing a smile and suppressing her nerves. “Didn't you say you have a
sore throat? Let's get that checked, shall we?”
"Okay,” the girl replied, finding the situation odd.
Don't people go to the hospital during the day? Why is Mommy in such a rush to take me there now?
Johanna called while they were on the way to the hospital.
Only then did Genevieve realize she had taken off from Jazona Clubhouse in such a hurry that she left Johanna on
her own there. Thus, she told the latter that Amanda was unwell and asked her to head back on her own later.

Given that the hospital had just received a new set of medical equipment and Genevieve was well-acquainted with
Timothy, the medical staff quickly tended to Amanda. Then, the scans were ready in less than an hour.
“There seems to be something inside the child's right ear,” the doctor commented while peering at the film.
Genevieve gazed at where the doctor was pointing to. This was probably the miniature bomb Harry was talking
about; it was barely the size of a thumb and particularly easy to overlook.
He wasn't joking.
At that very moment, the woman felt as though all her blood had left her, and she gritted her teeth. “Could you
please arrange for a surgery—”
Her phone suddenly rang while she was speaking to the doctor.
Seeing that it was Harry, Genevieve suppressed her rage as much as she could and walked toward the window to
answer the call.
“I suggest you not to do that, Genevieve,” Harry began. “Mandy's got the latest mini bomb inside her head. It's so
unique that it'd explode if you try to take it out.”
The doctor was already using his own phone to call any available surgeon over.
Harry sighed as he overheard the conversation. “You'll be sorry if you don't believe me, Genevieve. Mandy's going
to have her head blown into pieces inside that operating room.”
“Shut your mouth!” Genevieve was on the verge of breaking down.
Regardless of whether or not Harry was just messing with her head, it was true that there was something inside
Amanda's ear, but Genevieve was now too afraid to proceed with the surgery.
Thus, she hung up and returned to the doctor. “Sorry, but I've decided not to let her have the surgery.”
Amanda waited outside in the hallway and skipped over as she saw her mother exit the doctor's office.
“Are we getting some medicine, Mommy?”
“There's no need for that.” Genevieve picked her up and headed to the elevator. “Let's go home.”
The little girl beamed upon learning that she didn't have to take any bitter medication, but she quickly realized how
pale her mother looked.
“What's wrong, Mommy? You don't look so good,” she remarked when she noticed the woman's hands shaking.
Genevieve forced a smile. “I guess it was too cold inside the doctor's office, and I'm wearing such a short dress.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThat's why I'm shivering.”
Hearing that, Amanda wrapped her arms around her mother's neck immediately and kissed the latter's cheek
several times. “Then I'll warm you up!”
The two returned to Swallow Garden about ten minutes later.
“What happened, Mommy?” asked Lucian. “You left in such a hurry with Mandy.”
“Mommy took me to the hospital!” the little girl answered. “They even did a scan on me, but we didn't have to get
any medicine.
My throat doesn't hurt anymore either.”
Lucian scoffed. “It'll definitely hurt tomorrow because of all those chips you ate.”
Amanda shot her mother a sheepish glance. “But I only had three, and I drank lots of water after that!”
“Three? You mean a whole bunch—■”
The girl hastily lunged forward to cover her brother's mouth before flashing a sweet smile at Genevieve. “I only had
three pieces of chips, Mommy. I promise.”
The woman merely caressed Amanda's head in response. “I still have something to take care of, so I'll be heading
out. Stay home and behave yourselves,” she instructed in a shaky voice.
Then, she drove out to see Harry without the company of her two bodyguards.
