That had Robert’s temper flaring. He was ready to say something else when Georgia grabbed his hand.
She shook her head at Robert.
“Never mind. Cool down here for a while. Maybe you don’t want to hear my words right now. Rest up. I’ll get someone in to clean the floor.”
Georgia forcefully pulled Robert out of the bedroom.
“Why is your cousin so stubborn? He’s like an obstinate child, spikes all over. I thought he was gentle to begin with, even congratulating us all happily. Then the moment matters of the heart comes up, he explodes just at someone telling him to take better care of himself? I felt like I was talking to a five-year-old.”
Robert’s tone was full of complaint.
“You should have let me scold him. Getting on in years but still so immature – the way I see it he needs society to give him a good beatdown. Looking at the way he is now, he deserves that Kayden leaving him.”
Georgia chuckled at the venom in his voice.
“Calm down, I’m not angry anymore. Really, he’s hurt now, and we have the luxury of talking as bystanders. I’ll call Professor Lee later, or have Emilia get someone to check him over. Sometimes, it’s just reverse psychology. He knows what he’s doing is wrong and just doesn’t want someone to call him out. Give him some time. When he’s gotten over his pain, he’ll apologize to us later.”
“All right. You’re right. If something happened to you, the people around me would probably urge me to keep calm and healthy too. I couldn’t smile all the time, either. Let’s go see Jasper since we’re at the hospital.”
The two spoke, and headed towards Jasper’s room.
But Jasper’s room was in another ward, and as the two walked out of the elevator and into another building, Georgia received a video call from Emilia.
Did Emilia know she was coming to visit Aston?
Georgia took the call, and Emilia’s face appeared in the video.
Casey’s face appeared on screen as well.
Just as Robert’s face also appeared in Casey’s vision.
“I knew you two would be together.”
Casey smiled and Georgia couldn’t help but feel a bit embarrassed.
“How are you feeling today, Mom?”
She asked Casey concernedly. After all, this time, Casey looked energetic.
“I’ve started following a regular schedule now and I’m not fainting anymore. In another half-month, I should be able to get into physical therapy.”
Hearing her mother say that, Georgia was overjoyed, and gave Robert’s hand a slap.
She was signaling him to hurry up and greet her mother. After all, Casey had kept her eyes on Robert, and she looked emotional.
Robert, though, was particularly nervous, especially with his memory.
This was the first time he’d seen his mother-in-law, and since he wanted to be a good son-in-law and for Casey to be happy with her daughter’s choice of man, of course he was nervous as could be, even a little frantic.
“Hello, Mom, I’m Robert. When you get better, I’ll come with Georgia to where you are and take you back to live with us. Annie really likes you. By then, our whole family will live together.”
He thought about it a while and said those words the moment he opened his mouth.
As expected, Casey beamed on the other end of the call.
“Then it’s a deal. When I can fly back to the country and when the doctor says I’m fine, you have to come pick me up. Oh, right, by then, have Annie come over to pick me up too. Seeing her only on video every day, I’ve wanted to hold her forever.”
Seeing that Casey seemed satisfied with what he’d said, Robert heaved a sigh of relief.
“Don’t worry, Mom, it’s an easy thing to arrange. If you can’t come back for now on your side, I’ll bring Georgia and Annie over to you to visit first, so you don’t get lonely.”
At that, Emilia started teasing from the side.
“Would you look at your son-in-law, Aunt Casey? He’s got a reply to every situation ready for you. Dear coz married a great husband.”
When Robert had faked his death, then reappeared in the public view and the names came up, Georgia had given Emilia a basic explanation, so the two sides communicated just fine.
They didn’t ask too much about what had happened with Robert before, either.
The two sides exchanged some words about Annie, and whether or not Robert was still in danger.
After finishing the chat, Emilia noticed that Robert and Georgia were in a hospital, and found it strange.
“What are you two doing in a hospital?”
