Aidan laughed soon as he finished.
"I know who you are talking about, the woman that disappeared along with you, right? We are alike,
sentimental."
Aidan's words made Robert unease. But Aidan turned to Laurence.
"Hand out the woman, I will bring her along, I don't think this request is improper, right?"
Despite Aidan's tone was gentle, Laurence felt a tremendous amount of pressure. This man seemed
calm and gentle but his dominating aura created heavy pressure on others.
"I will bring Georgia over."
Laurence said unwillingly.
Georgia was alone outside, she felt that the bodyguard that guarded her received a command from his
wireless earpiece.
In an instant, the bodyguard pointed a gun on Georgia's head.
"Mr Laurence wants you to go in, follow me now and don't play tricks, else there'll be unwanted
consequences."
Georgia could only follow the guard and walked towards the room where Robert was present.
She saw Robert was untied when she stepped in.
But his legs were injured and he was leaning onto an unknown man.
Robert gave a gentle smile to Georgia when he saw her, it seemed like a smile of relief, and it was
weird to her.
Aidan spoke instead, "You are Georgia Lane?"
Georgia didn't know this man but she nodded.
"Yes, I'm Georgia Lane, anything you need?"
Aidan smiled. "I just want to know you. You could be my future daughter in law."
Without waiting for a response from Georgia, Robert said sarcastically after hearing Aidan's words.
"Daughter in law? You've disowned me long ago, and now wants a daughter in law? How shameless."
Aidan ignored Robert and spoke to Laurence.
"I'm a man of my words, I've made a promise on a business deal and will have my team contact you on
our collaboration. I'm bringing these two with me and the ties between you are cut from now on. If you
take revenge in the future, I won't be merciful, this is a warning and a chance I'm offering you."
Aidan instructed his men after his speech.
"Let's go."
He turned to Georgia once again, "I'll get you and Robert out of here, come with me."
Georgia followed behind Aidan while Robert went out with the help of a man too.
But Georgia was extremely confused.
If she hadn't misinterpreted what Robert said, this man was his father and they were not on good
terms.
Georgia had no idea what was happening, she tried putting her logics and rationale together and
concluded that this stranger was Robert's biological father, he came to Laurence to save Robert and
her.
Despite being displeased, Laurence had to agree, it seemed like Robert's father was quite a powerful
man.
The helicopter parked not far from the center of the beach, Georgia followed Aidan and Robert to the
helicopter.
Laurence sat in his wheelchair pushed by Kayden, behind him stood a group of people.
Georgia had a sudden feeling that this was a dream.
Robert and she were kidnapped to here, Laurence who had gone missing appeared before her, she
witnessed how Laurence lost his legs and Robert being beaten up, humiliated.
So many things happened within a day, Georgia thought it was the end of her life.
But what happened now was, Robert’s father that she had never heard of appeared and save Robert
and her, it was like a dream.
Georgia was still confused until the moment the helicopter took off.
Laurence told Kayden soon after the helicopter took off.
“I am not letting them go just like this, this has not ended.”
Kayden pulled out his gun.
“Mr Knight, I have an idea, Robert cares so much about Georgia, and he will go insane if I shoot at
Georgia now. And if Robert protects Georgia, he will be the one who gets hurt towards the end, no
matter what, Robert will go back injured, what do you think?”
Laurence did not hesitate.
“Shoot at Georgia then, I want to see if Aidan will go against me for the sake of a stranger woman.”
Kayden pulled the trigger and shot at Georgia soon after.
The helicopter was still taking off, Georgia wasn’t aware and she heard a gunshot at the same time
Robert went on top of her.
Everyone on the helicopter rushed and held Robert and Georgia.
Georgia saw blood gushing out from Robert’s thigh the moment he was held up.
She was startled and cried out loud.
“Robert, your leg is injured, why would you jump in front of a bullet for me? Are you crazy? Why are
you so stupid…?
As Georgia shouted out, she felt a tremendous pain in her heart as well as an unspeakable shock.
Robert jumped in front of a bullet for her, her heart was shaking.
She never would have thought that the man that had no interest in her at all would do such a thing, she
didn’t know what to say but her heart was in pieces.
She was filled with guilt.
But Robert smiled calmly.
“It’s just a reflex action, do you know my heart now?”
Georgia was astounded, Robert gave her all of his heart.
“If I die, will you like me even for a little? Will you love me once?”
Robert uttered the words gently before passing out.
Georgia cried out loud again.
“Why did you do such a stupid thing, I’m not worth it, not worth it…”
Georgia was crying while Aidan instructed his bodyguard.
“Get the first aid kit and treat him immediately.”
Laurence had gone insane, it was meaningless to go against an insane person.
Looking at the fainted and pale Robert on the floor, with blood gushing out from the wound, Aidan knew
this was not that time to get rid of Laurence.
Robert needed immediate medical treatment.
Tears gushed down from Georgia’s eyes nonstop, Robert was injured and now with an additional
gunshot.
She was frightened and guilty.
She was not worth the man’s action, she didn’t understand why would he did all that for her out of a
sudden.
All of this happened too fast, she couldn’t think and couldn’t understand what happened.
“We will be landing at the nearest hospital soon, don’t worry.”
Aidan told Georgia.
Georgia cried without replying.
The helicopter landed in a city, Georgia didn’t know which city it was.
A car stopped in front of the helicopter soon after and Robert was carried into the ambulance, there
were foreigners everywhere, there was nothing Georgia could do but wait nervously outside the
operation room.
She kept praying that Robert would be alright.
While in D City, Vanessa and Selena stood inside Robert’s villa, Selena once again tried to persuade
Mrs Bender.
“Mrs Bender, Robert and Georgia had gone missing, her daughter must be terrified to be left alone
here. This is Vanessa, she is Annie’s adopted mom and guardian, letting Annie come with us is a good
solution, why would you disagree?”
While Selena explained to Mrs Bender, Vanessa already had Annie in her arms.
Annie was still crying and looked frightened.
She held onto Vanessa tightly and was shaking.
Vanessa thought if she wasn’t here earlier, Annie would have fainted out of fear.
Annie’s heart was fragile, if she cried out loud, it might trigger her sickness.
She had finally awakened, Vanessa didn’t want anything to happen to Annie anymore.
“Vanessa, something happened to mommy?”
Annie who was in Vanessa’s arms asked while crying.
She didn’t know why Mommy and that man didn’t come back last night and nowhere to be seen this
morning.
Annie cried out of fear, she asked Mrs Bender and the people around where was mommy, but none of
them told her anything.
Annie was not a bad-tempered girl, the only thing she could do was cried for help when she couldn’t
see her mommy.
She calmed down a little when she saw Vanessa, hence, held onto her.
But that pretty lady said Mommy had gone missing, Annie was a five-year-old girl, she knew what that
meant, thus, was frightened.
She couldn’t believe it and asked Vanessa.
“It’s alright, your mom will come back, Annie, don’t be afraid, we will receive news from mommy
soon…”
Annie cried even harder, Vanessa was helpless.
She heard what Selena said, she couldn’t lie to Annie, she could only embrace her tightly and
comforted her.
But Mrs Bender rejected Selena’s request again.
“Ms Holland, I can’t let you bring her with you, Mr Simpson asked me to take good care of Ms Lane’s
daughter, I can’t let you bring her away, I’ve called Ma'am, she will come shortly, and I don’t have the
right to release this kid.”
Selena’s face changed, she knew Robert’s mom didn’t like Georgia.
It was obvious that Maisie didn’t know Georgia’s daughter was living here.
Now that she knew, who knew what would happen, Selena was worried.
But it had come to this stage now, Selena thought Maisie would not bully a child as long as she stayed.
Selena could only wait. Despite not being able to bring Annie with them, Vanessa had to stay for the
child.
It was not good for a five-year-old’s mental state without the companion of an adult.
Maisie and Ivan arrived half an hour later.
The door opened and Maisie saw a woman holding a child, which must be Georgia’s best friend.
And that child must be Georgia’s daughter, out of nowhere, Maisie felt that she knew the child, like
someone she had known for long.
But that was Georgia’s daughter, no matter how familiar, she only felt repugnant towards them.
She walked towards Vanessa and said coldly, “You wanted to bring Georgia’s daughter with you?”
Annie saw a fierce granny in front of her, she was frightened and held tightly on her mom.
Vanessa replied to Maisie politely.
“Mrs Simpson, I’m Annie’s guardian, Georgia is not here and Annie will feel frightened to be left alone
here, please let me bring Annie with me, I won’t give you any trouble.”
Maisie smiled coldly, “This child is living here now, do you think this is a place she could come and go
as she pleased?”
This was the first time Ivan saw Georgia’s daughter, he had only seen her information before, he never
paid attention to how she looked like.
He asked his aunt suspiciously. “Aunt, don’t you think this child resembles brother and even Wendy
when she was little?”
Hearing his words, Maisie looked at Annie but said coldly.
“There are tons of people with similar faces in this world, it’s nothing. We’ve done the DNA test, why
are you being suspicious still?”
Ivan rubbed his nose and smile awkwardly.
“Aunty, I said they look slightly similar, I didn’t mean anything else.”
Even though he hated Georgia and rejected to do surgery for her daughter, but Ivan would not be
prejudice towards a child.
He understood his aunt’s resentment, and it had grown until to Georgia's daughter, it was
understandable.
Selena walked towards Maisie.
