Finding You, Genevieve, Chapter 41
At the docks — Bianca was lying there bleeding when Victor and Genevieve came by. "Oh Bianca, please stay with me, I can't lose you," Genevieve said as the ambulance arrived. "Please save my baby," Genevieve begged. "We will try if she shows any signs," the man said. "I don't know, she's my daughter but I didn't raise her," Genevieve replied. "Alright, we will get her to the hospital," the man said. "Just take care of Bianca," Genevieve added. Bianca woke up. "Genevieve," Bianca said. Genevieve sat beside her. "It's going to be okay, baby. The ambulance is taking you to the hospital. Are you showing any signs of illness?" Genevieve asked. "No," Bianca replied. "Good. Do you want me to go with you?" Genevieve inquired. "Yes," Bianca said. They entered the ambulance.
At Stateville — The cop driving Lorenzo and Luis Jr.'s van stopped, opened the door, and Lorenzo and Luis Jr. got out amidst gunfire. The cop was shot at, and a man with a car approached. "Let's go," the man said, and Lorenzo and Luis Jr. got into the car. "The cabin is all set," the man said. "Good, we can't go to jail," Lorenzo replied. "You will not," the cop said. "So, Father, what happens after this?" Luis Jr. asked. "We will go to the cabin in the city where your mother will meet us, and soon we will move to another town," Lorenzo explained. "I hate this," Luis Jr. muttered. "I know we can't talk to your sisters, but it's the only way," Lorenzo said. "This is all on me; it was my idea," Luis Jr. admitted. "Don't blame yourself; it's on Genevieve," Lorenzo said.
At the General Hospital — The ambulance brought Bianca in, lying on a stretcher, with Genevieve by her side. "What happened?" Alan asked. "Bianca was shot at, please, Grandfather, save her," Genevieve pleaded. "I will," Alan promised as he started working on Bianca. "Genevieve," Victor said. "This is all my father; he did this! He shot my daughter!" Genevieve yelled as Skye, Skylar, and Lila Rae arrived. "Did Daddy do this? Did he, Mother? Please tell the truth for once," Genevieve demanded. "No, your father didn't do this," Skye said. "Bianca will be okay," Lila Rae added. "You don't care about your own daughter, just go," Genevieve snapped. "You're her daughter now; she's your daughter," Lila Rae said. "She will always be my daughter. I don't need you or Mother," Genevieve declared. The mayor approached. "Genevieve, I heard about your daughter, and I'm sorry. I hope she gets well. Your father and brother face jail today. A cop driving them to Stateville was shot at," he said. "Did you find them?" Genevieve asked. "Not yet, but we will. Mrs. Alcazar, do you know anything about this?" he inquired. "No," Skye replied. "You're lying! You know where Daddy is, just like you know he did this," Genevieve accused. "Genevieve, let's go for a walk. You need to cool down," Victor suggested as Alan approached. "Grandfather, how is my baby?" Genevieve asked. "Bianca made it out just fine. We got the bullet out," Alan confirmed. "Thank God. Can I see her?" Genevieve asked. "Yes," Alan said. Genevieve and Victor left. "Thank God Bianca is okay," Skye said. "Did Lorenzo do this to his granddaughter?" Alan questioned. "Daddy, Lorenzo wouldn't do this. I have to go," Skye responded. "What are you up to now?" Alan asked. "I'm doing what I have to for my family," Skye answered. "We don't have a family anymore, Mother," Skylar said. "Skylar," Skye called. "Skylar is right. It's gone," Lila Rae added. "No, it's not," Skye disagreed and left.
In Bianca's room — Bianca was sleeping when Genevieve and Victor entered. Genevieve approached her bed and gently touched her hair. "Oh Bianca, I'm glad you're okay. I can't lose you again. I lost you once when I gave you up for adoption. I do love you, I know I haven't said it yet, but I do. You're the best of both Alexander and me. He would have loved you, spoiled you like a princess," Genevieve said as Bianca awoke. "Genevieve," Bianca called. "Bianca, you're already the doctor who removed the bullet. Everything will be okay now," Genevieve assured her while brushing Bianca's hair. "We're glad you're okay," Victor added. "Yes, we are. I'll make sure he pays for this," Genevieve promised. "Who?" Bianca asked. "I think it was my father who shot you, and I'm sorry," Genevieve responded. "Why would he do that?" Bianca asked. "To send me a message, but he picked the wrong person to mess with," Genevieve explained. "Genevieve," Bianca said. "I know I haven't said it, but I love you," Genevieve confessed. "I love you too," Bianca replied, and they shared a hug. "Do you want me to call your parents?" Genevieve asked. "No, I'm fine. I don't want them to worry," Bianca replied. "Alright. Why don't you rest? We have a cop outside your room to keep you safe," Genevieve suggested. "Okay," Bianca said. Genevieve and Victor left and headed to the hallway. "Ginny," Victor said. Genevieve broke down and cried into Victor's arms. "I could have lost her, and it would be on me," Genevieve said. "No, it's not your fault," Victor reassured her.
