Aidan laughed soon as he finished.
"I know who you are talking about, the woman that disappeared along with you, right? We are alike, sentimental."
Aidan's words made Robert unease. But Aidan turned to Laurence.
"Hand out the woman, I will bring her along, I don't think this request is improper, right?"
Despite Aidan's tone was gentle, Laurence felt a tremendous amount of pressure. This man seemed calm and gentle but his dominating aura created heavy pressure on others.
"I will bring Georgia over."
Laurence said unwillingly.
Georgia was alone outside, she felt that the bodyguard that guarded her received a command from his wireless earpiece.
In an instant, the bodyguard pointed a gun on Georgia's head.
"Mr Laurence wants you to go in, follow me now and don't play tricks, else there'll be unwanted consequences."
Georgia could only follow the guard and walked towards the room where Robert was present.
She saw Robert was untied when she stepped in.
But his legs were injured and he was leaning onto an unknown man.
Robert gave a gentle smile to Georgia when he saw her, it seemed like a smile of relief, and it was weird to her.
Aidan spoke instead, "You are Georgia Lane?"
Georgia didn't know this man but she nodded.
"Yes, I'm Georgia Lane, anything you need?"
Aidan smiled. "I just want to know you. You could be my future daughter in law."
Without waiting for a response from Georgia, Robert said sarcastically after hearing Aidan's words.
"Daughter in law? You've disowned me long ago, and now wants a daughter in law? How shameless."
Aidan ignored Robert and spoke to Laurence.
"I'm a man of my words, I've made a promise on a business deal and will have my team contact you on our collaboration. I'm bringing these two with me and the ties between you are cut from now on. If you take revenge in the future, I won't be merciful, this is a warning and a chance I'm offering you."
Aidan instructed his men after his speech.
"Let's go."
He turned to Georgia once again, "I'll get you and Robert out of here, come with me."
Georgia followed behind Aidan while Robert went out with the help of a man too.
But Georgia was extremely confused.
If she hadn't misinterpreted what Robert said, this man was his father and they were not on good terms.
Georgia had no idea what was happening, she tried putting her logics and rationale together and concluded that this stranger was Robert's biological father, he came to Laurence to save Robert and her.
Despite being displeased, Laurence had to agree, it seemed like Robert's father was quite a powerful man.
The helicopter parked not far from the center of the beach, Georgia followed Aidan and Robert to the helicopter.
Laurence sat in his wheelchair pushed by Kayden, behind him stood a group of people.
Georgia had a sudden feeling that this was a dream.
Robert and she were kidnapped to here, Laurence who had gone missing appeared before her, she witnessed how Laurence lost his legs and Robert being beaten up, humiliated.
So many things happened within a day, Georgia thought it was the end of her life.
But what happened now was, Robert’s father that she had never heard of appeared and save Robert and her, it was like a dream.
Georgia was still confused until the moment the helicopter took off.
Laurence told Kayden soon after the helicopter took off.
“I am not letting them go just like this, this has not ended.”
Kayden pulled out his gun.
“Mr Knight, I have an idea, Robert cares so much about Georgia, and he will go insane if I shoot at Georgia now. And if Robert protects Georgia, he will be the one who gets hurt towards the end, no matter what, Robert will go back injured, what do you think?”
Laurence did not hesitate.
“Shoot at Georgia then, I want to see if Aidan will go against me for the sake of a stranger woman.”
Kayden pulled the trigger and shot at Georgia soon after.
The helicopter was still taking off, Georgia wasn’t aware and she heard a gunshot at the same time Robert went on top of her.
Everyone on the helicopter rushed and held Robert and Georgia.
Georgia saw blood gushing out from Robert’s thigh the moment he was held up.
She was startled and cried out loud.
“Robert, your leg is injured, why would you jump in front of a bullet for me? Are you crazy? Why are you so stupid…?
As Georgia shouted out, she felt a tremendous pain in her heart as well as an unspeakable shock.
Robert jumped in front of a bullet for her, her heart was shaking.
She never would have thought that the man that had no interest in her at all would do such a thing, she didn’t know what to say but her heart was in pieces.
She was filled with guilt.
But Robert smiled calmly.
“It’s just a reflex action, do you know my heart now?”
Georgia was astounded, Robert gave her all of his heart.
“If I die, will you like me even for a little? Will you love me once?”
Robert uttered the words gently before passing out.
Georgia cried out loud again.
“Why did you do such a stupid thing, I’m not worth it, not worth it…”
