“Auntie, I know it’s inappropriate for someone that is still young like me to say such things. But she is just a child, she’s not well and her mother isn’t here with her. And everyone inside Robert’s villa is servants and not adults that the child is familiar with. I asked Vanessa to take Annie away is for the sake of the child too.”
Maisie was feeling disgusted with what was happening in front of her, and yet she couldn’t do anything to this child. But to let someone in front of her do as they wished; Maisie would not allow.
When her heart was still full of resentment, Maisie noticed that her phone ringing. It turned out to be a call from Robert’s father, Aidan.
Maisie picked up the phone and asked with surprise.
“Is it about Robert?”
Aidan replied Maisie.
“Something happened, Robert was shot in the legs, he is now in the operating room. The operation shouldn’t be a big problem. Now, I am waiting in a hospital in Hawaii because this is the nearest hospital to where he is found. He cannot return for the time being, he needs to have this surgery and be fully recovered before returning home.”
Maisie was first relieved because her son was alive and only suffered a gunshot wound and was still in surgery.
After that, she was worried again.
“Send me your current location and I’ll hop on to a plane and come over immediately.”
Aidan nodded his head.
“I’ll send you the address right now.”
The two hung up the phone, Ivan asked excitedly from the side.
“Auntie, is that from Robert? They found Robert?”
Maisie nodded at Ivan.
“He is in a hospital in Hawaii having a operation currently, I’ll be on a plane there soon, do you want to go?”
Ivan nodded immediately.
“I’ll definitely follow Auntie.”
Two of them were already excited and ready to leave when Selena subconsciously asked.
“Auntie, what about Georgia? Was she rescued along with Robert?”
Maisie spoke with disgust.
“Who knows where Georgia is? And since you want to protect these people, you can continue to do so, but I’m leaving now.”
Vanessa, however, suddenly stood up and knelt in front of Maisie.
“Mrs Simpson, please let me have Annie, it’s not appropriate for Annie to be here right now.”
Maisie didn’t want to care about Vanessa that was in front of her. But Vanessa grabbed her by the leg and wouldn’t let her go.
Thinking that there was already news from Robert, Maisie growled coldly to the housekeeper.
“Let them have that child and never allow these people to come over ever again.”
Only after saying this did Vanessa finally let go of Maisie’s leg.
Then Maisie and Ivan took off.
Mrs Bender finally spoke up helplessly.
“Ms Holland, Ms Cooke, you can take Annie and leave.”
Vanessa cried tears of joy and Selena breathed a sigh of relief.
Immediately afterwards, Vanessa turned to Selena and asked her worriedly.
“Robert’s mother just said that Robert has been rescued. Does that also mean that Georgia is also safe?”
Selena nodded her head hesitantly.
“Since Robert had been rescued, Georgia would definitely be rescued too, I’ll call my brother immediately and ask him about the situation.”
Vanessa thanked her gratefully.
“Hope it doesn’t trouble you much, Ms Holland.”
The two then took Annie out and got into the car. Selena didn’t start to drive as she was planning to call Jasper. But then, memories inside her mind started cascading instantly.
Something that had happened today made her afraid to speak to Jasper, and she eventually called Jason.
“Jason, just now I’ve seen Robert’s mother. She just said that Robert is in a hospital in Hawaii for surgery. Can you help me to check whether Georgia is also rescued?”
Jason was delighted to hear that Robert had now been found and rescued.
“Alright, I’ll ask around for you. By the way, Selena, how are you doing now?”
Jason was a little worried about Selena’s mental and physical condition. Selena laughed a bit.
“I’ll be fine Jason, I’ll be fine… You just pretend that those things never happened and forget about it.”
“You’re going to let Jennifer marry your brother?”
Jason asked feeling puzzled.
Selena bowed her head down and gave a bitter laugh.
“Jason, I don’t want to care about these things. I just want to forget about this matter forever. My brother can marry whoever he wants to, he can make his own decisions. But I’ll never want to talk about it ever again, got it?”
Jason nodded helplessly. Every time he mentions these kinds of things, it was hurting Selena all over again.
“I know, and this is something I’ll always keep as a secret.”
Both of them hung up the phone, and Selena turned to Vanessa and said.
“I’ll send you back to your apartment.”
Vanessa nodded. Although Alfred might show up at her apartment.
But Georgia was not here now, and no one else could protect Annie except her. So, Vanessa could only bring Annie to her own apartment.
After the two of them drove to Vanessa’s apartment, Selena sent Vanessa and Annie inside the apartment.
At that very moment, Jason called again.
“It was Robert’s father who rescued Robert, Georgia was also rescued together. You don’t have to worry anymore. Both of them are in the hospital, only Robert was hurt. Maybe in a few days, she’ll return home.”
Selena breathed a sigh of relief.
Annie, who had been hugging Vanessa looked quite pitiful. Selena’s heart was melted. she knelt in front of Annie and explained.
“Your mummy is fine; she has been rescued.”
When Selena said this, Vanessa was surprised, and Annie was happy as she asked.
“Really? Auntie, is that true?”
Selena smiled.
“You just saw me answered the phone, they’ve got the latest news. Your mummy is fine and was not hurt. But she is overseas right now and can’t come back yet. She should be able to come back in just a few days. Annie, remember to sleep well and eat well. Your mummy will be happy when she comes back and sees you still happy and healthy.”
