Robert stood up immediately and asked with concern.
"Was Annie frightened?"
"Annie cried to sleep. When I had an argument with your mother, she said that Annie was my daughter, and Annie cried violently."
Georgia tried to maintain calm, but Robert could hear helplessness in her voice.
"Wait at the hospital. I'll be there."
With that, Robert stood up and walked outside. He got the secretary to have the car ready.
Half an hour later, Robert came to the ward.
Annie was still asleep, Robert felt his heart soft looking at Annie.
"Don’t worry, I'll talk to my Mom."
With Robert here, Georgia did not feel panic anymore, as if she had someone to rely on.
"Mr. Simpson, your mother knew what I was, and did not believe my explanation. She said she would not let Dr. Ivan operate on Annie. Can you do something about it?"
His mother was paranoid and stubborn, and Robert knew that.
Now, his mother certainly did not believe that Annie was his daughter, but felt everything was Georgia's plot.
"Don’t worry, I'll fix it."
Georgia felt relieved gradually.
But she still felt unease.
When they were silent, the door was opened again.
"Georgia... I don’t know what Alfred had done, and I can't find a job at all..."
Vanessa spoke sadly to Georgia as soon as she entered the room.
In the middle of her speech, she saw the man standing in the ward.
Feeling embarrassed, Vanessa greeted the man apologetically and then looked at Georgia.
"Sorry, were you chatting? I will go out..."
With that, she turned and walked out of the room.
Georgia was worried about the situation of Vanessa. As she was hesitant to go out or not, Robert said.
"Go talk to your friends. I'll watch the child."
"Thank you."
With that, Georgia walked out of the ward and caught up with Vanessa who was ready to take the elevator.
"Vanessa, you said that you couldn't find a job. What was going on? What did Alfred do?"
Georgia took Vanessa's arm and asked with concern.
Vanessa felt afflictive, and leaned on Georgia’s shoulder and burst into tears.
"Georgia, you know, my major is clothing design. After I got fired by Alfred yesterday, I submitted my resume to many design companies, originally, I had several interview today."
"But today they all called and told me I don't need to take the interviews. I asked one of the companies and found out that they had been told that I wasn't allowed to be accepted. I thought it over and over, and it must be Alfred who did this, and he was getting back at me..."
Vanessa adjusted their mood, but she could not hide sadness on her face.
Georgia was worried.
She knew the panic of not getting a job.
"Vanessa, it is impossible that Alfred could do anything. There will always be a way. Don't worry."
Up to now, Vanessa could only comfort herself like this.
"Vanessa, what is it between you and Mr. Simpson? Why he is in the ward?"
Vanessa asked about Robert who was in the ward.
Thinking of Robert's mother, Georgia felt it would be better not to tell her the bad things, less Vanessa would be worried.
"Robert likes Annie very much. He comes to see Annie at this hour."
Inside the ward, Robert looked at Annie gently. He put his hand gently on the soft cheeks of Annie.
This was his daughter.
He would protect her, love her, let her become the happiest little princess in the world.
"You.....Uncle, why are you here, where is my mother?"
Annie suddenly opened her eyes, and she asked in panic.
"Your mother is outside. I'll call her in."
Robert stood up and went out of the room.
At this time, Georgia and Vanessa were talking standing in the corridor not far away. Robert walked over to them.
"Annie is up and wants to see her mother."
Georgia and Vanessa stopped talking at once, turned around and went into the ward.
Remembering that Annie was crying, Georgia explained to Vanessa.
"Vanessa, something happened in the morning. Annie now knows that I am her mother. Help me explain, Annie was crying to sleep."
Vanessa was anxious.
When they went to the ward together, Annie looked at his mother, and then at Auntie Georgia. She was confused.
"Mom -"
Annie opened her arms to Vanessa.
Vanessa hurried to pick Annie up.
"I am here. How do you feel now? Are you ok?"
Annie shook her head and asked with tender voice.
