“Auntie, I know it’s inappropriate for someone that is still young like me to say such things. But she is
just a child, she’s not well and her mother isn’t here with her. And everyone inside Robert’s villa is
servants and not adults that the child is familiar with. I asked Vanessa to take Annie away is for the
sake of the child too.”
Maisie was feeling disgusted with what was happening in front of her, and yet she couldn’t do anything
to this child. But to let someone in front of her do as they wished; Maisie would not allow.
When her heart was still full of resentment, Maisie noticed that her phone ringing. It turned out to be a
call from Robert’s father, Aidan.
Maisie picked up the phone and asked with surprise.
“Is it about Robert?”
Aidan replied Maisie.
“Something happened, Robert was shot in the legs, he is now in the operating room. The operation
shouldn’t be a big problem. Now, I am waiting in a hospital in Hawaii because this is the nearest
hospital to where he is found. He cannot return for the time being, he needs to have this surgery and
be fully recovered before returning home.”
Maisie was first relieved because her son was alive and only suffered a gunshot wound and was still in
surgery.
After that, she was worried again.
“Send me your current location and I’ll hop on to a plane and come over immediately.”
Aidan nodded his head.
“I’ll send you the address right now.”
The two hung up the phone, Ivan asked excitedly from the side.
“Auntie, is that from Robert? They found Robert?”
Maisie nodded at Ivan.
“He is in a hospital in Hawaii having a operation currently, I’ll be on a plane there soon, do you want to
go?”
Ivan nodded immediately.
“I’ll definitely follow Auntie.”
Two of them were already excited and ready to leave when Selena subconsciously asked.
“Auntie, what about Georgia? Was she rescued along with Robert?”
Maisie spoke with disgust.
“Who knows where Georgia is? And since you want to protect these people, you can continue to do so,
but I’m leaving now.”
Vanessa, however, suddenly stood up and knelt in front of Maisie.
“Mrs Simpson, please let me have Annie, it’s not appropriate for Annie to be here right now.”
Maisie didn’t want to care about Vanessa that was in front of her. But Vanessa grabbed her by the leg
and wouldn’t let her go.
Thinking that there was already news from Robert, Maisie growled coldly to the housekeeper.
“Let them have that child and never allow these people to come over ever again.”
Only after saying this did Vanessa finally let go of Maisie’s leg.
Then Maisie and Ivan took off.
Mrs Bender finally spoke up helplessly.
“Ms Holland, Ms Cooke, you can take Annie and leave.”
Vanessa cried tears of joy and Selena breathed a sigh of relief.
Immediately afterwards, Vanessa turned to Selena and asked her worriedly.
“Robert’s mother just said that Robert has been rescued. Does that also mean that Georgia is also
safe?”
Selena nodded her head hesitantly.
“Since Robert had been rescued, Georgia would definitely be rescued too, I’ll call my brother
immediately and ask him about the situation.”
Vanessa thanked her gratefully.
“Hope it doesn’t trouble you much, Ms Holland.”
The two then took Annie out and got into the car. Selena didn’t start to drive as she was planning to call
Jasper. But then, memories inside her mind started cascading instantly.
Something that had happened today made her afraid to speak to Jasper, and she eventually called
Jason.
“Jason, just now I’ve seen Robert’s mother. She just said that Robert is in a hospital in Hawaii for
surgery. Can you help me to check whether Georgia is also rescued?”
Jason was delighted to hear that Robert had now been found and rescued.
“Alright, I’ll ask around for you. By the way, Selena, how are you doing now?”
Jason was a little worried about Selena’s mental and physical condition. Selena laughed a bit.
“I’ll be fine Jason, I’ll be fine… You just pretend that those things never happened and forget about it.”
“You’re going to let Jennifer marry your brother?”
Jason asked feeling puzzled.
Selena bowed her head down and gave a bitter laugh.
“Jason, I don’t want to care about these things. I just want to forget about this matter forever. My
brother can marry whoever he wants to, he can make his own decisions. But I’ll never want to talk
about it ever again, got it?”
Jason nodded helplessly. Every time he mentions these kinds of things, it was hurting Selena all over
again.
“I know, and this is something I’ll always keep as a secret.”
Both of them hung up the phone, and Selena turned to Vanessa and said.
“I’ll send you back to your apartment.”
Vanessa nodded. Although Alfred might show up at her apartment.
But Georgia was not here now, and no one else could protect Annie except her. So, Vanessa could
only bring Annie to her own apartment.
After the two of them drove to Vanessa’s apartment, Selena sent Vanessa and Annie inside the
apartment.
At that very moment, Jason called again.
“It was Robert’s father who rescued Robert, Georgia was also rescued together. You don’t have to
worry anymore. Both of them are in the hospital, only Robert was hurt. Maybe in a few days, she’ll
return home.”
Selena breathed a sigh of relief.
Annie, who had been hugging Vanessa looked quite pitiful. Selena’s heart was melted. she knelt in
front of Annie and explained.
“Your mummy is fine; she has been rescued.”
When Selena said this, Vanessa was surprised, and Annie was happy as she asked.
“Really? Auntie, is that true?”
Selena smiled.
“You just saw me answered the phone, they’ve got the latest news. Your mummy is fine and was not
hurt. But she is overseas right now and can’t come back yet. She should be able to come back in just a
few days. Annie, remember to sleep well and eat well. Your mummy will be happy when she comes
back and sees you still happy and healthy.”
Annie who had been terrified for a while seemed to have finally recovered her spirit as she hugged
Vanessa and smiled.
“Vanessa, mummy is fine, mummy is fine…”
Vanessa also smiled broadly; everything was turning.
If something did happen to Georgia, she wouldn’t know what to do then.
Vanessa knew that Alfred’s revenge wouldn’t stop immediately, and her mental condition had problems.
Vanessa had given up her own life. She just hoped that Georgia could raise Annie so that she could
leave this world with peace of mind.
Inside the hospital in Hawaii, the operation was suddenly extended.
A normal bullet removal operation should only be about 1 to 2 hours. The doctor came and told Aidan
and Georgia about the situation.
“The patient’s legs have suffered an injury before and now bullets are found inside his legs. His bones
and nerves are damaged. The operation will take longer and will need you to sign another consent form
for the operation.”
Georgia clearly understood the doctor’s words. Her face became white suddenly.
The nerves and bones were injured which meant that there was a chance that his legs wouldn’t
recover. Georgia didn’t even dare to ask a question to the doctor any further.
Aidan’s expression also changed and immediately followed the doctor to sign the consent form.
Afterwards, the operation room’ red light shone, and it was almost two hours past.
Georgia suddenly plucked up her courage and asked Robert’s father.
“Mr Simpson, was the situation doctor described serious or not? Will Robert’s legs recover?”
Aidan, however, sighed at Georgia.
“They did what they could, Robert will live but he may have to face some disabilities.”
Aidan’s words shocked Georgia to the core that she fell on to the ground feeling weak.
Because of her, Robert got injured.
Georgia felt extremely distressed.
The first time she met him, he was suave and spirited in the room. No one could catch his eyes.
At that time, she was bullied, and Robert saved her.
Later, the two of them continued to cross paths had it not been for the misunderstanding over Wendy’s
fatal car accident.
He had prevented Ivan from operating on her daughter. Georgia hated him to the bones when her
daughter had fallen into a coma for some time.
Robert also said that she had plagiarized, seduced him in front of everyone. It almost made her
became a nobody. All these things that happened before were echoing inside of Georgia’s mind one
after another.
But after all that had happened, Robert suddenly cared about her, he let them live together and he
helped her to get her missing daughter back.
After that, Robert picked her up from work every day and Georgia felt that she couldn’t bear the
affection from him.
She suddenly felt she did not deserve.
Robert cared for her, protected her in a way that she couldn’t bear to accept. Yet she was forced to
accept them.
If something ever happened to Robert’s leg in the future, how could she face her future with Robert?
She now had Robert’s child inside her belly. And even one thing that even Georgia herself couldn’t
believe that Annie might also be Robert’s child.
Robert protected her that she wasn’t even scratched. But now he was in the operating room, his life at
stake.
How could she ever repay Robert’s kindness in her life?
Aidan looked at Georgia and suddenly asked a question.
“I thought you and Robert were a couple. But from the looks of you, you’re more like someone grateful
for their benefactor. Rather than a girlfriend, fiancé or a lover to him.”
Georgia was quiet for a long time before she suddenly raised her head to Aidan and asked.
“Do you know what happened to Wendy Simpson?”
Aidan replied.
“Why? Wendy is my daughter. Has something happened to her recently?”
Aidan’s word made Georgia realized that he really didn’t know anything that happened in the Simpson
family. Georgia let out a bitter laugh.
“You probably don’t know this, but Wendy passed away in a fatal car accident six years ago.”
When Aidan heard what Georgia said, his expression changed dramatically. He clenched Georgia’s
hands tightly.
“What do you mean? Please say it again.”
“Mr Simpson, you’ve heard it right. Wendy passed away in a fatal car accident six years ago.”
After Georgia finished these words, Aidan suddenly became extremely sad.
“Maisie, you’re so cruel!”
Aidan roared out these words abruptly.
It had been over six years since his daughter passed away and Maisie hadn’t even called to tell him
about it.
She hated him so much that she preferred to keep her daughter’s death hidden.
This time, however, it was probably because nothing had happened to Robert yet, so Maisie was
forced to phone him for help with no choice.
If something really happened to Robert this time, Aidan thought, that Maisie would probably call and tell
him with a big smile.
Both his children died.
Aidan felt that his palms were trembling.
“What is this all about? Please say it clearly.”
“Mr Simpson, my name is Georgia Lane, six years ago, I woke up and found myself in the driver’s seat
of a car. I was intoxicated with alcohol. And then, I saw that there was a car in front of me, it was badly
damaged by the car crash. And that was Wendy’s car, she died in that accident. However, I was
mistaken as the cause of this accident. I was sentenced to six years of imprisonment for drunk driving.
And that was how I met Robert. He thought that I was Wendy’s murderer, but I had no evidence to
prove my innocence back then.”
When Georgia told what happened, Aidan became gloomy.
“Say again, are you really not responsible for my daughter’s accident?”
Georgia nodded affirmatively.
“I am not the real murderer. The murderer is my half-brother, Eden. My father disowned me as his
daughter, at that time he even tried to sell me to a pervert. That pervert’s name is Chester Roger.
Probably because Eden had gotten into the car accident and managed to put me in that car without me
knowing it. And I took the place of his wrongdoings. I have not lied a single word, nothing but the truth
and the truth itself. Mr Simpson, when Robert knew I was the murderer, he did a lot of things to hurt
me. Yet I don’t understand, why would he save me? Why is he so foolish?”
Georgia’s tears streamed down her face as she said this.
She really felt that Robert was so foolish, how could he be so foolish that it made her feel distressed?
Aidan was silent for a while. After the operation had been going on for another hour or so, there were
footsteps heard in the corridor.
Aidan looked up and saw Maisie walking towards them.
Maisie strode aggressively towards Georgia
“Slap!”
Maisie slapped Georgia directly on her face.
Maisie strode aggressively towards Georgia
“Slap!”
Maisie slapped Georgia directly on her face.
