“Vanessa is hurt now, she's sick, don't worry Annie, Vanessa will be healthy again as long as she stays in the hospital for some time, don't worry, okay?”
Georgia could only console Annie like that, she couldn't explain what happened to Vanessa now.
Annie was such a small child, Georgia just hoped that Annie wouldn't be worried.
Annie didn't understand what happened to Vanessa, Annie obviously thought that she was asleep because she ate the medicine and she'd probably be able to wake up on the next day.
She happily nodded.
“Mommy, I get it, I'll wait for her to wake up patiently... I hope that she can get well soon and get discharged.”
“Then you can sit by her side and talk to her, she'll be very happy to hear your voice.”
Georgia said that to Annie, but Annie was quite confused.
“Isn't Mommy sleeping now? If I keep talking on the side of the bed, won't it affect her rest?”
“No, you're her beloved daughter, she has left for several days, now she definitely wants to hear your voice, then she'll wake up earlier to see you, isn't that good?”
Annie believed Georgia's words, she sat on the sofa beside Vanessa, then she started talking some intimate things to Vanessa.
Georgia forced out a gratified smile.
Vanessa had lost her child back then, she was very sad, she really raised Annie as her own child.
Vanessa had been putting countless efforts throughout the past few years, Annie could be considered as the most important person for Vanessa.
There were so many things that happened to Vanessa, Georgia was really afraid that Vanessa would give up on her consciousness and not willing to wake up.
She told Annie to talk beside Vanessa's bed, hoping that she could awaken Vanessa's memory so Vanessa could wake up and face it bravely.
It's just that, Annie had talked continuously for an hour beside Vanessa's sickbed, Vanessa still didn't wake up.
In the evening, Mrs. Bender already came to the ward.
“Madam, should I send her home? Mr. Simpson is also outside, he wants to ask when will you have dinner?”
Georgia knew that she couldn't let Annie stay in the hospital, Annie should rest well for several days for her surgery in the weekend.
She walked to Annie's side.
“Annie, just go home with Mr. Housekeeper first, only at home can you sleep and rest well, eat more, you’re going to have surgery in a few days, you can’t act recklessly.”
“Then what about Mommy? Will anyone accompany Mommy tonight? I'm afraid that Mommy will be very disappointed if I'm not here when she's awake.”
“It's fine, I'll accompany you in the ward, I'll tell her that you came to visit today if Vanessa wakes up in the middle of the night, she just hopes that you rest well until you have a good physical condition to undergo the surgery.”
This time, Annie nodded obediently.
“I understand, I'll go home with Mr. Housekeeper and I'll eat well, Mommy, when Vanessa wakes up, just forget it if it's at midnight, but if it's at daytime, don't forget to video call me, I really want to talk with Vanessa.”
Georgia smiled as she nodded, only then the housekeeper brought Annie away from the ward.
Soon after, Georgia spoke to Elsie.
“No matter how, we shouldn't fall down, since it's dinner time, let's go and eat first, we don't know how Vanessa's condition will be when she wakes up, we must take care of ourselves, and we can't act strong now."
Elsie didn't refute Georgia's words, even if she was reluctant to leave, she understood her.
She couldn't fall down first without knowing how Vanessa's condition would be when she woke up.
“Okay then, let's go out and have some dinner.”
Right after Elsie said that, she noticed how Georgia looked in her medical attire.
“Otherwise, let's just order takeaway from a restaurant, you can only eat light foods now, just order a porridge.”
Seeing how Elsie could already be concerned for others, Georgia smiled.
“Robert is probably waiting for our answer outside, let's go out first, perhaps he'll take us out for a meal, he has a car, what are you worried about?”
“I somehow feel that she's still here, she appears inexplicably, I don't really want to see her.”
Georgia knew that the woman Elsie mentioned was Eliana, she had told Elsie about Eliana.
At that time, Elsie's attitude towards Eliana wasn't that good. On one hand, Elsie felt that she was interested in Robert, on the other hand she also felt that she knew the news of her sister, if she was going to tell the truth, it’d always made people feel full of conspiracy.
“Don't mind her, it’s important to eat first."
“Actually you don't need to force yourself and stay with us, we both want to eat porridge, you can eat whatever you want, as for Travis, we can just go over and ask him… Aren't you very busy with company matters these days? You can just go back and take care of your own matter, Vanessa has been found anyway, you don't need to stay in the hospital any longer, I can take good care of myself.”
Georgia spoke sensibly and gently, Robert sighed.
“Are you angry? I was not by your side these few days, it's my fault, I apologize to you.”
Georgia just shook her head.
“I don't want to talk about these things now, I only care about Vanessa regaining her consciousness, Robert, what you said before was right, we should calm ourselves down and think about our problem.”
After Georgia said that, she was going to pull Elsie's hand and leave, Robert immediately grabbed Georgia's wrist.
“I don't know what made you angry, if it's because I was not by your side last few days... That's because you hid things from me, about your pregnancy, I'm angry at heart but I don't want to be angry at you, I just suppress all these feelings and digest it on my own, no matter how, I don't want to be fierce in front of you, I'm not a perfect guy that can be gentle and tolerant all the time to the woman he likes, I'm just afraid that when I expose another side, I'll make you even sadder.”
“But what I fear the most is that you'll leave me after I can't control my emotions and make you sad, Georgia, you can be angry about many things but don't doubt my intentions, I didn't even ask for an explanation from you, I want to understand and be considerate for you under any circumstances ... Shouldn't you give me a chance? If you tell me, what did I do badly, what made you angry? I'll correct myself… Or what did you misunderstand? I'll explain it clearly… I won't demand you to explain what happened to you if you're not willing to, but if there's anything that makes you discontented or misunderstand me, as long as you say it out, I'm willing to explain it clearly.”
“Just talk to him first, I’ll go to Travis' ward and order some porridge, what do you want? You can just come and eat it later.”
Elsie spoke to Georgia, she felt like an interference if she kept staying here.
It’d be better to let them talk it out.
“Just plain porridge, I just want to eat such simple meal.”
Georgia answered Elsie's question, soon, Elsie turned around and walked towards Travis' ward.
After some time, there were only Robert and Georgia left around that place.
“Let's find a place to talk clearly about what happened these few days.”
Robert said that, in the end, the two of them walked to a VIP lounge.
After shutting the door, Georgia spoke out about the sulks in her heart.
She thought that what Robert said was true, she's the first one who hid her pregnancy and miscarriage, it was normal for Robert to get angry.
But he had chosen to understand her thoroughly, he didn't try to get to the heart of the matter either, so she shouldn't overdo it either.
