Daddy, Mommy had been in Prison novel Chapter 529

At that, Ivan showed a dubious expression.

Georgia was making it seem so mysterious. Still, Ivan left the hospital corridor and went into the hotel room he lived out of nearby.

He’d been planning on going out to eat anyway, and it was no trouble.

The delay took almost a quarter of an hour. Ivan closed the door to his room, then turned back to Georgia.

“What severe topic do you need to discuss, Robert, Georgia? I’ve already closed the door and nobody will hear us speak.”

“Robert and I have only been back for a day. I’d like to ask you something – has Emilia’s mother still kept on visiting her every day?”

“She came once today.”

Ivan nodded, and Georgia asked on.

“What about Emilia’s father? Is his business done yet?”

“Not quite yet. He’s still over in the northwest doing business and he probably won’t be back until the next week.”

“Travis and Sarah came to where we’re living now as guests. They took out their wedding invitations. I brought it up with you in general before. It was fine to begin with, just guests over for dinner, but Sarah asked about Emilia’s situation, concerned, so I told her about what we experienced recently. Then she told me something that I found strange. No matter what, I felt like I need to discuss it with you.”

Ivan was even more confused. He didn’t know what his sister-in-law was talking about.

But he could instinctively feel that it probably had something to do with Emilia.

So he probed on, concerned.

“What is it? Just say it, Georgia.”

Georgia repeated what Sarah had said slowly, adding and subtracting nothing, just describing what Sarah had said in its entirety.

After that, she spoke to Ivan about her doubts.

“I’m a mother myself. If my child was hurt, I’d protect her instinctively, and try to punish those who’d hurt the child. I don’t understand Margie’s approach. Even if there’s a grudge between her and Emilia and even if she’s angry with her, it’s impossible for a mother to leave her own daughter if she was hurt before her.

“Ever since Emilia’s incident, Margie’s always acted like she was the picture of concern for her. She was even understanding with us. It could be said that she’s been kind. I don’t understand. Why is her attitude like this? There’s no need for her to act before Emilia’s father. Their marriage is over in all but name, and everyone knows that. I’m worried this will affect Emilia’s future, so I want to remind you – if Margie comes to visit Emilia, pay attention to her behavior. I don’t know if I’m overthinking it, but I’m afraid she’ll hurt her.”

Georgia brought something else up after she finished.

“My mother had reminded me before that she felt something was off with Margie, and that she was acting strange recently. I feel like she really might have some secret. While you’re over there, do investigate it. And see if you can send reliable men to look after Emilia. You can’t be by her side twenty-four hours a day, after all. I don’t dare put my trust in the Powell family. It’s better to have our people on it.”

Ivan’s face sank, and he seemed to be considering what Georgia had said.

Robert spoke up as well.

“You know that Emilia’s rarely ever home, and she’s not close to her parents. Their family really might have some secret. Don’t trust anybody easily, even if it’s Emilia’s parents.”

“Haven’t I told you? Emilia’s current personality is that of a child. From expert diagnosis, if someone’s personality splits off into a child’s state, that means that she’s been through something during that time that traumatized her. At least, we can deduce that Emilia’s relationship with her parents broke down at some key moment, which was why she developed the personality of when she was ten and somewhat more trusting of the world. It’s a defense mechanism.

“After she was ten, her parents must have done something. It’s also probably why she grew distant from them later on.”
