“Why are you still sticking around here? Can you just piss off?”
Georgia roared in anger.
Travis turned his wheelchair around and saw Alfred walking to them.
“Don’t step forward, or I will beat you.”
Elsie roared aside. The two women shared the hatred for Alfred. They got angry when they saw him.
“You can punish me whatever you like later. I just heard Vanessa woke up last night. I heard that she is not feeling well now and doesn’t want to say anything. I just want to take a look at her and talk with her.”
Alfred pleaded for the first time. He knew he didn’t get to say that because it was him who put Vanessa into trouble.
But he couldn’t ignore Vanessa’s situation now.
Last night, he was taken away by Robert’s men. In fact, he was not willing to go at all.
But he knew he shouldn’t stay there and made Vanessa’s friend angry.
But when he knew Vanessa woke up at midnight, he couldn’t help but think about her, especially when he knew Vanessa was in poor mental health. He resisted his urge to go to see Vanessa for the whole night, just to beg Georgia and Elsie to give him a chance to see Vanessa this morning.
“If you want us to let you in, you should catch the culprit at least. Rachel is still at large. If you want to see Vanessa, you have to bring Rachel to Vanessa.”
Georgia taunted Alfred.
Alfred could never be forgiven with just an apology because he could never make it up for Vanessa’s pains. Hatred was the only feeling that Georgia had for Alfred now.
“Georgia is right. You have to catch Rachel at least. You don’t get to come in and see Vanessa if you couldn’t punish Rachel,” Elsie said.
Alfred kneeled in front of Georgia and Elsie. His arrogance was gone. He said humbly.
“I really want to see Vanessa. Please.”
Georgia just wanted to ask him to leave. And Elsie even wanted to beat him.
To their surprise, the door of the sickroom was opened. It was actually Vanessa who was walking out. Her eyes flashed for the first time.
“Let him come in.”
Annie looked confused and didn’t know what’s going on.
Vanessa’s simple words surprised Georgia and Elsie a bit.
This was Vanessa’s decision, so they could only let Alfred come into the room.
Vanessa sat on the bed silently like a ghost.
Alfred walked to her in worry. He thought she had lost her mind and couldn’t recognize anyone and say anything. But now it seemed that she could recognize him. Alfred wondered what Vanessa would talk to him and walked into the room, feeling uneasy.
He felt his fast heartbeat and had a sinking feeling.
“I’m going to talk with him alone.”
Vanessa said. She was asking all the people to leave, including Georgia, Elsie, and the two bodyguards. She just wanted to talk with Alfred privately.
Georgia could do nothing but nod.
“We’ll be waiting outside. If you need anything, just call us. Don’t be afraid, Vanessa. Elsie, and I will always be here. Don’t lose hope. Annie is here, too. You will be fine.”
Vanessa didn’t pay attention to Georgia’s words at all. Georgia could do nothing but leave with Annie, Elsie and the bodyguards. She walked out of the room and closed the door.
Georgia stayed outside the room. She was worried that something might happen.
In the room, Vanessa looked at Alfred silently. Suddenly, she giggled.
Her tears rolled down while she was giggling.
