Georgia was stunned by Elsie's words. She then asked in a hurry.
"Something happened to Robert? What happened?"
Elsie said in a hoarse voice.
"He just had a car accident. His car burned, and the people inside died on the spot."
All of a sudden, Georgia felt that the whole world was spinning around. Elsie's words seemed to be blurry in her ears. She seemed to have entered a suspended world. She seemed to be dreaming, and the surroundings were all fake.
"Georgia, what's wrong with you?"
"Do you need me to call the doctor?"
"Are you okay? What happened?"
…
It seemed to be Aston's voice, or maybe Robert's voice. Georgia felt that her head was about to explode. She opened her eyes in confusion, but felt that Robert was saying farewell to her.
"No, no..."
Georgia shouted, but she seemed to be unable to get rid of this nightmare.
In her dream, she saw Robert die in a big fire, and she saw Robert have a car accident with blood all over his head.
No matter how hard she struggled and ran, she couldn't save Robert. She could only watch Robert suffer in the fire.
She could do nothing but watch a truck hit Robert's car. The dream went on and on. She seemed to be trapped in it and couldn't get rid of it.
Later, she felt that her body was too heavy to move, and her eyelids seemed also to be too heavy.
She knew that she should wake up from the nightmare, but she just couldn't open her eyes.
Her throat seemed very dry. She tried to open her eyes countless times, but she could only hear all kinds of strange sounds around her.
After a long time, she finally opened her eyes slowly in a dark room.
The smell of disinfectant filled her nose. Georgia tried to find the switch to turn on the light.
She didn't know where she touched, but the light in the room was on immediately.
She took a look and found that she was lying in a ward. There was only her in the room.
Georgia just woke up. She was so confused that she didn't know where she was and what had happened to her before. She was just thinking about this matter in a daze.
Soon, a doctor and nurse came in.
"Miss Lane, how are you feeling? Do you still feel uncomfortable?"
Hearing the doctor's question in English, Georgia was reminded that she was in America now. She seemed to have been talking to Aston about her return, but what happened later?
Georgia suddenly felt a splitting headache. The doctor was holding a stethoscope and listening to her heartbeat.
All of a sudden, she thought of something and screamed harshly. Seeing the anxious faces of the doctor and nurse, Georgia was looking for something crazily.
She asked in English.
"Where is my phone? Where is my phone?"
The nurses and doctors were frightened by her. They kept explaining that she had a fever and had been in a coma for a whole day. She was in poor health, so she should stay calm. They would help her to find her phone.
However, Georgia had gone crazy. She was like a crazy woman, questioning the doctor why he didn't give her phone to her, and why he kept hiding her phone.
The doctors and nurses were almost driven crazy by her. Suddenly, the door of the ward was opened and Georgia saw Aston come in.
"Georgia, calm down. Don't do this."
Tears streamed down Georgia's face when she heard Aston's voice. She looked at Aston coming over, and her voice was full of fear and anxiety.
"Tell me. What had happened before I passed out? Is that true? Did someone play a trick on me?"
"Georgia, calm down. Robert must hope you to live well, instead of losing your mind and hurting yourself like this."
Aston's words broke Georgia's heart. She shouted with anger and hopelessness.
"Shut up! shut up! Give me my phone. I don't believe any word of you! I'm gonna ask them who is lying to me! He said he would never leave me. I have his words... "
Georgia didn't believe what Elsie said. She felt like she had a nightmare, but the fear in her heart was gradually destroying her.
Aston sighed at Georgia and gave Georgia her phone.
"Anyway, you're a mother. You will be strong and nothing can defeat you, right?"
Trembling, Georgia took over the phone. She wasn't that strong. She thought what Aston said was false. She was a fragile person, and she didn't want to be strong anymore.
