Georgia couldn’t help but raise her voice. Laurie nodded, a little confused.
“Why? Do you know the girl?”
Georgia nodded. It was a long story.
“She and I and Aston used to be colleagues in the same research team. Back then, Aston’s research direction aligned with mine, and we conversed often. Anaya always liked Aston, so she’d been somewhat hostile to me. There’s been some bad blood between us. Not only that, but she’s also Robert’s cousin. I’m technically her cousin too now, but our relationship isn’t the best. And before, Aston used to really dislike Anaya and wouldn’t give her the time of day. Why’s he with her now?”
Georgia found it strange, and Laurie also chuckled helplessly.
“Yes, I can see it too. Aston doesn’t like the girl, and I don’t like this Anaya, either. I keep feeling like she’s not as pure of mind as she lets on. But Aston just has to be with her. As his mother, I can’t crack down, so that’s why I wanted you to investigate her for me. So my speculation was right and there really is an issue.”
“I’ll go meet him.”
Georgia suggested actively.
“I don’t know if he’s willing to see me, but I’ll still go ask him what he’s thinking. If it’s hard for you to get involved, Mr. and Mrs. Powell, I’ll ask him for you.”
Laurie and Carr both thanked Georgia.
Afterwards, when Georgia headed to the hospital again, she received a call from Robert.
“Are you close to the hospital and haven’t got home yet?”
Georgia nodded.
“I’m getting ready to meet Aston at the hospital. I’ll go home afterwards.”
At that, Robert chuckled at the other end of the line.
“Don’t leave the hospital for now. I’m coming to the hospital too. Then we can both go home together.”
That had Georgia a little surprised.
“What are you doing in the hospital too?”
“Last night, Jasper and Selena had their surgery in the operating room. Jasper should still be under, and the doctors guess that after the anesthetic wears off, he’ll wake up in the afternoon.”
So Jasper and Selena had already had their surgery.
Why did they do it in the middle of the night, though? And hadn’t Jasper refused the operation all along?
Georgia found it strange and hadn’t raised her own question yet when Robert continued.
“The surgery was done when Jasper wasn’t aware. Selena and their parents essentially forced the operation on him. Jasper is definitely going to be angry when he wakes up, so Mr. and Mrs. Holland gave me a call and asked me to come to the hospital to see Jasper, maybe persuade him a little, so he doesn’t throw a tantrum after the operation and make it hard to recover.
“Jason should have received the phone call already. We’ll see him together. Ivan also gave me a call. He’s at the hospital already and well probably go see Jasper with us. But right now, he still needs to check on the patient he operated on yesterday and see how that person’s recovering. Wait for me at the hospital. We’ll go see Jasper together.”
Georgia nodded and agreed.
Afterwards, she went to Aston’s room.
Opening the door, Anaya was there sitting at Aston’s bedside, peeling an apple and talking about something while Aston read a book at the side.
The scene looked sweet, but she found it strange.
So the two really were together. What was Aston thinking?
Georgia was dubious, while Aston and Anaya both turned to look at her with her arrival.
Anaya, who’d either mocked her or showed outright hatred to her, actually gave a pleasing smile this time around.
“Hello, cousin. Are you here to see Aston? Come, sit, I’ll fetch you some water.”
That pleasing attitude was a little disturbing.
Georgia felt like Anaya didn’t have good intentions, but after she sat down, Anaya really did pour her some water.
She couldn’t help but be suspicious.
