Chapter 144 His Expression Was Colder Than Usual Genevieve was startled.
She looked up. When she saw the hair of the man holding her wrist was a little messy, and his eyes
looked abnormally wild, her heart couldn’t help but skip a beat.
“Sir, I think you got the wrong person.” Genevieve tried to shake her wrist from his grip and stepped
back.
“Lily, Lily, I’m sorry. I know I was wrong. Can you go home with me now?” The man tightened his grip on
her wrist again. He stared at her and pleaded, “Even if you don’t want me, are you going to leave our
daughter all alone?”
Genevieve felt that the man was getting irrational. She didn’t dare to answer him, afraid she would
enrage him.
However, her silence infuriated the man, and his expression changed in the end. “Why are you staying
quiet? Are you waiting for that man to come? How long have you been together? Damn it! You are a
b*tch!”
Hearing that, Genevieve tried to fish for her phone in her pocket. When she almost got her phone and

hands.
In a split second, Genevieve sprained her ankle and fell to the ground heavily. Her back was terribly hurt,
causing her to be in pain.
“You b*tch! I’m going to kill you! You betrayed me!” The man sat on top of her. His hands then gripped
tightly around her neck.
Genevieve was almost out of breath. She grabbed the back of the man’s hand and scratched several
bloody marks. However, her efforts were in vain.
A few seconds later, she felt her pain subsiding.
Besides, the air she inhaled seemed to become thinner and thinner. The expression of the mad man in
front of her became gradually blurred.
After returning the key, Patrick was shocked to see what happened when he came back.
He quickly rushed over and pulled the man away. With a punch, he threw the man out, and the latter spat
out blood on the spot.
“Genev!” Patrick knelt down on one knee and quickly patted Genevieve’s face.
Upon seeing Genevieve was not breathing at all with bruises all over her neck, Patrick quickly performed
CPR.
He then shouted at the staff of the shooting club that rushed over. “Call an ambulance now!”
Patrick’s hands began to tremble uncontrollably when he saw Genevieve was motionless. He bit the tip
of his tongue, trying to ease the panic he felt in his heart.
When the ambulance finally arrived, Patrick helped the nurses to carry Genevieve into the ambulance in
a hurry.
Fortunately, Patrick came in time to resuscitate Genevieve when she ceased breathing. Although she
resumed her heartbeat, she was still in a coma.
Patrick felt that his palms were numb and still quivering while the doctors were still checking on the
bruises and wounds on Genevieve’s neck.
In the next second, his phone buzzed in his pocket.
Patrick took out his phone. His face immediately darkened when seeing the caller ID. A few seconds
later, he pressed the answer button and said, “Armand.”
“Where are you?”

Patrick sensed the smell of blood spreading in his mouth. He couldn’t help but say in a low voice, “I took
Genev to the shooting club. She was attacked while waiting for me at the entrance…”
Over the phone, Armand was stunned upon hearing that. “I’ll be there soon. Take care of her.”
“Yes, sir.”
After hanging up the phone, Patrick took a look at Genevieve, who was lying on the bed. With her eyes
closed, her face still looked pale.
He suddenly thought of her lifeless look just now, and his fingertips couldn’t help but tremble.
When the nurse finished treating Genevieve’s wound and left the room, Patrick went out of the ward too.
He then leaned against the wall.
Around nine in the evening, Patrick heard faint footsteps coming from the end of the corridor. He looked
up and saw Armand hurrying over, followed by Steven at his back.
From far, Patrick saw Armand frown. His expression looked colder than usual.
“Armand.” Patrick quickly stood up and greeted him.
Armand nodded slightly and passed by Patrick. Then he opened the door of the ward and walked in.
Somehow, the corners of Patrick’s mouth twitched. Is he worrying about Genevieve
