"Oh, I see. I thought you were in touch with each other."
Georgia sighed in surprise. It turned out that Layla also used to work for Mr. Knight.
The two of them chatted about the recent situation of each other. Thinking of Miranda, Georgia asked cautiously.
"Ms. Bradley has engaged not long ago. Do you still have any contact with her?"
Georgia still remembered that Miranda cared about her mother very much and felt guilty for what she had done when she was a child. However, Layla refused to see her daughter all the time. Georgia didn't know what was going on between the two of them now.
"I met Miranda once. I did a lot of wrong things when I was young. She was too young at that time, so it was normal for her to be deceived. I didn't blame her at all. I have told her that, but the relationship between mother and daughter can only be like this. After all, I have been in that kind of place for so many years. I don't want many people to know that I am her mother. She is very happy now. She is noble Ms. Bradley. Her father loves her very much. That's good. We just need to meet each other occasionally."
After chatting with Layla for a while, Georgia knew that Layla was now living in a small town in Denmark. It was quiet there. Occasionally, she would go to other countries for travels. This time, she had just come here for travel, so this kind of life was also peaceful.
Later, Layla said goodbye to Georgia, and Georgia returned to the hotel to have a rest.
She returned to the hotel, but before Georgia entered her room, Aston suddenly came to her.
Georgia felt a little strange. The two of them only talked at work. Aston almost stayed with Kayden all day after they finished their work. Emilia had already gone to other places to play alone, so she was not with them for the time being. Professor Lee usually went back to the hotel and slept directly. All of them did not interfere with each other’s lives.
"What's the matter?"
Georgia asked Aston.
"An hour ago, someone in the hospital told me that my aunt had woken up. She hadn't woken up for a long time, but she kept calling your name. I think the work here will be finished soon. Can you go to see my aunt with me? Although she just woke up for a short time and didn't say anything to the nurse, the nurse heard her calling clearly. She called your name. I'm not sure when my aunt will wake up next time, but the doctor said that there is a sign of waking up. She will wake up in one or two months."
Aston's aunt was the wife of Aidan.
She also appeared when Georgia was kidnapped by Laurence on that island.
She still remembered that Aston's aunt was there to save her.
When she woke up, she had a lot of questions to ask her, but Georgia had to give up because she knew that the woman had been in a coma.
Now that she was about to wake up, Georgia didn't hesitate at all.
"Of course I’m willing to see her. I think your aunt must know what happened later. Anyway, we still need to work here for two or three days. After that, I will go to see your aunt with you."
Aston breathed a sigh of relief when Georgia agreed.
During this period of time, the two of them didn't have much private contact except for the business relationship. Although the two of them said that their work was not affected by their private relationship, they were not as intimate as before.
He was worried that Georgia wouldn't agree to see his aunt. Now it seemed that he was narrow-minded.
But Aston was also curious why his aunt kept calling the name of Georgia.
Aston sighed as he felt that it was not just a simple relationship between the two women.
His aunt was the illegitimate daughter of his grandfather. She was found back by the Powell family when she was nearly 30 years old. Then she married Aidan.
Over the years, his aunt had little connection with the Powell family.
It suddenly occurred to him that before his aunt returned to the Powell family, she might have a relationship with Georgia.
With all kinds of doubts in his mind, Aston wanted to investigate his aunt's past.
He wouldn't ask his grandfather. Most of the people in the Powell family did things based on interests, especially his grandfather, who was stereotyped and stubborn.
Back then, the plan Aston's grandfather made for Aston was to inherit the Powell family, marry a woman that his grandfather chose for him, and give the old man a great-grandson as soon as possible. All his life was arranged by his grandfather.
Aston had his own favorite scientific research career. He tried to resist, but later found that he couldn’t persuade his grandfather at all. Aston simply left the Powell family. He was willing to give up the inheritance for his own free life.
After chatting with Georgia, Aston went back to his room. Kayden was playing games on the computer.
Seeing him come in, Kayden asked with a smile.
"When I came here just now, I saw you and Georgia talking in front of her room. It seems that you have talked for a long time. What are you talking about?"
"Not long ago, the fellow in the hospital called me. I have an aunt. She has been in a coma for a year because of an injury last year. Now she has woken up, but she is not completely sober. She just keeps calling the name of Georgia. I think my aunt probably wants to see Georgia, so I just asked her if she is free and if she can meet my aunt in the hospital."
Kayden's casual eyes suddenly turned deep. She looked at Aston with a smile and said in a coquettish tone.
"I haven't seen your family except for your sister Emilia. Are you going to take Georgia to see your aunt? I'll go with you. Them I can meet your family then. If we two get married, I must meet your family in advance. But you know, I don't have any family, so I just need to make your family satisfied. It’s also unfair... "
Kayden's tone was full of tease. She had always been like this in front of Aston. She was graceful and said whatever she wanted to say. Aston was a straightforward person, and he didn't like to beat around the bush.
It turned out that Kayden wanted to see his family. Aston thought for a while.
"I've told you before that my family is a merchant family. My grandfather keeps a strict rule. He doesn't like anyone to be out of his control. In order to obtain my own life, I've left this family, so you don't have to satisfy my family. At that time, you only need to see my mother and then my father when you have the chance. It doesn't matter if others are satisfied or not... As for my aunt, you come out to play with me anyway. You can go to America with me later. When my aunt wakes up, I will take you to see her by the way. In fact, I’m not very close to my aunt, so she won't interfere in my choice of girlfriend."
