“Oh no. Something is wrong inside.”
The bodyguard beside Georgia suddenly said. He opened the door immediately.
Georgia covered Annie’s eyes unconsciously. She even didn’t dare to see what happened inside the room. She told the other bodyguard.
“Take care of Annie and stay here to protect her. I’ll go to see what happened.”
“Mom Georgia, why can’t I go with you? Did something happen to mom?”
“I don’t know. She is being emotional. I’m afraid you will be scared by her. When you are in bad mood, you always cry, don’t you? Sometimes people could lose their emotional control and Vanessa is losing it right now. Just stay here quietly with the bodyguard for a while, OK?”
Annie was a bit unwilling to do so. But now that Georgia asked her to stay, she could only say yes and stay there with the bodyguard.
Georgia went to the sickroom directly.
What happened in front of her made her shiver.
Alfred’s belly was stabbed by a long thin knife. His blood was running down to the ground.
Vanessa watched him calmly. Alfred didn’t faint. He just kneeled on the ground with a painful look.
Elsie was shocked and couldn’t say anything. The bodyguard rushed in and stopped. All people seemed to be too shocked to move.
Georgia didn’t dare to speak.
“Piss off. I don’t want to see you!”
Vanessa said calmly. She went back to the bed, lay on it, and closed her eyes.
“Elsie, take care of Vanessa. I will take Alfred away.”
Georgia made a quick decision. She asked the bodyguard and Elsie to stay in the room, and she walked to Alfred.
“Let’s go now.”
Georgia took the poor Alfred’s hand and helped him up, then pulled him to the door.
Before they passed through the door, Georgia went out of the room.
“Take Annie to my room and have her stayed with her dad and uncle. I’ve got something else on.”
Annie was confused.
“Mom Georgia, why don’t you let me see mom?”
“She fell asleep. I’ve got things to take care of and I can’t be with you for now. Could you go to your dad?”
Too many things happened. Children were easily afraid. Annie couldn’t help crying.
“Mom Georgia, I want to see mom. Something must happen to her. Let me in!”
Annie almost rushed into the room. Georgia signaled the bodyguard to stop her. The bodyguard held Annie in his arm.
Although Annie was struggling to free herself, Georgia could only say.
“Take her to my room no matter how hard she cries. Leave her to her dad, OK?”
The bodyguard nodded. He held the struggling girl and took her to Georgia’s room.
Annie kept struggling and crying. But she couldn’t free herself from an adult’s arms.
Seeing Annie had been taken away, Georgia pulled Alfred out.
“We are going to the emergency room. You need an operation right now. Your wound is not so deep. I don’t want Vanessa to be interrogated by police. You don’t want Vanessa to be put in prison, do you?”
Alfred watched ahead with a glazed look and let Georgia pull him to the emergency room for an operation.
The bodyguard took the crying Annie to Georgia’s room.
Robert and Ivan were shocked.
“What happened? Annie, where is Georgia? Did she go to Vanessa’s room? What’s going on?”
Robert was confused and asked. The bodyguard didn’t follow Georgia in, so he didn’t know what happened, either.
“Miss Lane just asked me to take Annie here. Mr. Chow went into Miss Cooke’s room. He and Miss Cooke seem to have a conflict.”
Annie kept crying and struggling. The bodyguard put her down.
She wanted to rush out to Vanessa’s room. But the bodyguard stopped her at the door. She could do nothing but beat him.
“Get out of the way. Let me go! I want to see my mom … You are a bad person … You are bad…”
Annie cried hard. She had a feeling that something serious must happen. She felt bad not be able to see her mom, as if her mom would leave her.
Robert walked to Annie.
Robert pushed his wheelchair to the bed.
“Tell you if you feel thirsty or hungry. You're going to have surgery in a couple of days. Be a good girl, OK?
Annie nodded. Her eyes were still red. But she calmed down a bit after so long.
Robert turned around and looked at Ivan. He asked Ivan to see what happened.
About half an hour later, Alfred was taken out of the operating room.
His wound was not deep. Although he bled a lot, he was not badly hurt.
When Georgia waited outside Vanessa’s room, she didn’t hear clearly what they talked about. Somehow, she felt it was a big deal.
She pushed Alfred’s bed with the nurse to a room. Alfred was still sober. Georgia asked him.
“Answer my question if you are willing to. If you don’t want to, just shut up. Tell me, what did you say in the room? Vanessa seemed to have broken down. It’s definitely something bad, something that could crush her down.”
Alfred looked at Georgia with a bitter smile.
“Do you know about Vanessa’s pregnancy six years ago?”
Georgia nodded.
“She said she gave birth to the child. But the child was not born dead. He was taken away by Rachel and killed by her. Rachel told her that he was our child.”
After Alfred said that, Georgia could not help but slap on his face.
“Sorry. I just can’t help it!”
“No wonder Vanessa would break down. Do you know why she takes Annie as her child? Because she lost her own child. She gives Annie all her love. When she broke down six years ago, Annie was her emotional support. She was heartbroken and desperate when she knew the truth. Of course, this was all because of you. She shouldn’t have met you. Alfred, don’t come to see Vanessa anymore. I feel pain to see you and I hate you. If Vanessa sees you again, she will live in the nightmares forever. Remember, go away if you meet us. Turn around if you see Vanessa. You don’t get to see her!”
After saying this, Georgia turned around and left in anger.
In fact, she had listed many reasons why Vanessa broke down, but she never thought it turned out to be like this.
Vanessa’s child was killed alive. And the killer was the one who was always hurting her. All Georgia wanted to do now was to ask Robert to catch Rachel.
If she could not bring Rachel back, she could not vent her anger and sorrow.
Georgia went back to Vanessa’s room with a bad look. She walked into the room carefully. Vanessa lay on the bed with her eyes closed.
Elsie was sitting aside with tears falling down. The bodyguard stood at the window. She was sad to see this. She walked to Vanessa’s bed.
