Alicia returned to Véronique's hospital room.
Genevieve saw her pale face and asked in worry, "What happened, sweety? Why do you look so sad?"
Alicia shook her head, went to Véronique's bedside, held her hand, and started chatting with her with a smile.
But Genevieve, being short-tempered, couldn't wait for more than a few sentences before grabbing Alicia's wrist and saying, "Come out with me."
They went to the corridor.
Genevieve stared into Alicia's eyes and asked, "Did Louis mistreat you again?"
Alicia replied calmly, "No."
"Then who upset you? I'm your mother, why won't you tell me if you have any troubles?" Genevieve was getting impatient.
"Louis's father talked to me."
"Henry troubled you?" Genevieve sneered. "When Louis was in a wheelchair and couldn't stand up, where was Henry to force you to leave him? Now that Louis can walk and jump, he wants you to divorce him? What a heartless pig! Has he no shame?"
