My Flirtacious Husband

Chapter 41 Are You That Strong
Is there a blackout?
Genevieve switched on the flashlight on her phone in a hurry. Through the window by the corridor, she could see that the
streetlamps were still lit. She could faintly hear Steven’s voice saying that he would check if the circuit breaker tripped.
I should just pass him the suit tomorrow when he’s free.
Just as Genevieve was about to head back with her stuff, she vaguely heard some sounds inside the room.
It sounded as if something was being knocked down.
She was worried that the sudden blackout caused Armand to knock into something on accident and worsen the wound on his
back. Thus, she instantly knocked on the door and asked, “Mando, are you all right?”
“Mr. Faulkner?”
After a few knocks, Genevieve started to panic when there was no response from Armand.
Just as she was about to kick the door down, Armand’s muffled voice suddenly sounded from inside. “Come in. The door’s not
locked.”
“Okay.” Genevieve then heaved a sigh of relief when she knew that he was all right.
She entered the room while holding her phone, but after walking one round around Armand’s huge room, there still seemed to be
no sign of him.
Shortly after, she noticed that the restroom door was closed and walked over. “Mando, are you in the restroom?”
“Yeah.” A tall figure appeared behind the glass door to the restroom. “During the blackout just now, I realized that I couldn’t open
the door to the restroom. Could you try to open it from the outside?”
“Okay. Give me a second.”
When Genevieve shone the flashlight of her phone at the door, she found that there was a towel stuck in the gap underneath the
door.
“Mando, I think the towel got stuck under the door by accident when you went in.” Genevieve tried to tug at the towel, but it didn’t
budge no matter how hard she tried.
With that, she stood up and suggested, “Why don’t you take a step back? I’ll try to slam the door open.”
“Are you that strong?” Armand was doubtful.
“I can try...”
Genevieve positioned her phone upright onto a chair so that it shone onto the restroom. She then took a deep breath and
rammed into the door with all her might.
The first time she hit it, her shoulders felt sore. Despite that, she still couldn’t knock the door open.

Inside the restroom, Armand was sharp to hear her gasping in pain. It was evident that she was hurt from trying to knock the
door down. “Stop trying. Get Patrick to come up and help instead.”
“It’s fine. I’ll try again,” Genevieve responded as she rubbed her shoulder, which was in pain. She tried a different angle and
rammed into the door again with her left shoulder.
All of a sudden, the door opened. Genevieve didn’t manage to grab the door handle to steady herself, and thus she flew straight
into the bathroom from the impact.
Under the dim light that shone in from the outside, Armand reached out and tried to support Genevieve. However, he ended up
stumbling backward as she rammed into him.
For some reason, the shower was turned on. Water gushed down from above them, causing them to be completely drenched.
Due to the violent impact on Armand’s back, his wound split open. He groaned in pain and reached backward, hurriedly turning
the shower off.
Genevieve was also shivering after being drenched in the cold water. After coming back to her senses, she saw that Armand
was also soaked under the dim light. His black hair stuck to his forehead, and he wore an extremely grim expression.
“I-I’m sorry. I didn’t manage to grasp the door handle.” Genevieve took the towel off the rack and passed it to Armand, her hands
trembling.
“I wanted you to open the door for me, not kill me,” Armand responded coldly. He wiped the beads of water off his face with the
towel and groaned again.
“What’s wrong?” Genevieve asked anxiously.
Before he replied, she noticed that the bandage around his chest was already soaked in blood. In an instant, she understood
what was going on.
She hurriedly helped him out of the restroom. “Wait here for a while. I’ll get Patrick.”
Just as she was about to leave, Armand called out, “The medication and bandage are on the cabinet. You can help me.” With a
frown, he then continued, “I’m afraid that he’ll be too rough and make things worse.”
As Genevieve thought about how rowdy Patrick always seemed, she thought that what Armand said might be true.
Using the flashlight, she found the medication and bandage on top of the cabinet just as Armand had said. She then made him
back-face her and carefully unraveled the bandages which were soaked in blood.
Although there were a few layers of bandages, they weren’t waterproof after all, and they were soaked when Armand stood
under the shower just now.
Now, as Genevieve undid the bandages, she saw that the wound had split open and turned white after being drenched by the
water.
Her heart clenched, and she couldn’t help but blame herself. “I’m sorry... I should’ve listened to you just now and called Patrick
to help instead.”

If she had done as he said, she wouldn’t have barged into the restroom so recklessly and knocked into him, causing his wound
to split open.
However, Armand replied calmly, “There’s no use if you keep apologizing. Since it has already happened, just remember to be
more careful next time. Now help me treat my wound.”
“Okay.” Genevieve pursed her lips.
