Chapter 955
After accessing Genevieve's phone system, Harry clicked on a hidden monitoring software program and played
what it had recorded.
He heard Johanna calling Genevieve to say that Amanda was still suffering from a persistent high fever. After that,
he heard Genevieve rushing back to Jadeborough, followed by the sudden news that Amanda was in the emergency
room and had passed away. Finally, the sound of Genevieve's heart-wrenching cries and her conversation with
Armand played on the recording.
After checking his phone, Harry realized the explosive device inside Amanda's body was no longer working and
could not determine her coordinates.
That type of explosive device was very unique. When one dies, one's body temperature drops quickly. As a result of
the low temperature, the device planted inside that person would lose its ability to function.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHarry stared at his computer screen, dumbfounded.
He blamed himself a little. I know Armand is intelligent. That's why I kept wanting to pit our abilities against each
other. I thought he must've discovered the bomb and faked Mandy's death. However, a ploy like that may trick me,
but it can't fool the computer. Now that the device inside Mandy's ear isn't functioning anymore because of her
body's low temperature, that must mean she did indeed die. All I wanted was to use the little girl to threaten
Genevieve. I never wanted her dead. But after hearing Genevieve's anguished cries, I can't help feeling upset and
flustered.
After turning off his computer, Harry bought a flight ticket and rushed to Jadeborough.
Following Harry's orders, Jesse kept a close eye on Armand. He reported to Harry that Armand did not cremate
Amanda. Instead, he had her body sent directly to the funeral parlor.
The sudden death of his daughter was a terrible blow to Armand.
As he left the funeral parlor, his heart seemed to spasm painfully, and he nearly collapsed. Subsequently, he was
sent to the military hospital.
Armand had had a heart transplant. Even though it was compatible with his body, his heart still could not take
extreme emotions of happiness or sadness.
Genevieve lingered alone in the ward Amanda stayed in the previous night, not allowing Armand or anyone else to
accompany her.
When Harry entered the ward, he saw her sitting on the cold floor and leaning against the wall. She held a small,
light blue coat in her hands, staring vacantly into space with a blank expression.
He crouched before her and murmured, “I'm sorry...”
She did not respond, still looking impassive.
It saddened Harry to see her looking as though she was dead inside. I hate seeing her like this. Even the light in that
pair of eyes I adore is gone.
Like a child who had done something wrong, he took her hand and placed it against his cheek. “I only wanted to use
Mandy to threaten you so that you'd care more about me. I didn't think she'd run a high fever that wouldn't go
away... It's my fault. If I'd known, I would've come to Jadeborough earlier. Don't be mad at me, okay?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAfter several minutes, Genevieve finally gave some response.
Her eyes focused on the man before her, and she realized who it was. Despite that, she did not even have the
strength to scold or slap him.
She gazed at him with lifeless eyes. “You made me kill the mother of the person I love and let me watch my
daughter die right before my eyes... You've truly sent me to the depths of hell...”
Pulling him right in front of her, she said quietly, “Harry Hompton, I'm begging you. Just kill me.”
Harry knew he was the winner of the game.
He had ruined her, yet he felt no joy or sense of victory in his heart. All he had hoped for was to have someone stay
by his side and to only have eyes for him.
His face gradually paled, and he said in a helpless tone, “I'm sorry, Genevieve...”
The door to the ward was ajar, and when Johanna walked past the door, she happened to overhear what Genevieve
said at the end.
Fearful that something would happen to Genevieve, she dashed into the ward and yanked Harry away from
Genevieve, then helped the latter to her feet. “She's not feeling too well, so I'm taking her home.”
Harry wanted to follow them, but he could not stand up, no matter how hard he tried.
