She was about to ask something when Robert spoke up.
"I'm busy now. I'll talk to you later."
After saying that, Robert hung up the phone. Georgia's hand trembled as she put the phone down.
She suddenly felt ridiculous. It was obvious that she should trust Robert at this time.
However, because of that one woman's voice, Georgia's heart was filled with countless speculations.
He didn't answer her calls all day. When he called and only said two sentences, a woman's voice came
from the other end of the phone, and it sounded even a little ambiguous.
Could it be that only she had been indulging in her feelings for Robert? Georgia suddenly laughed at
herself.
"What's going on? Why are you laughing so sadly?"
Travis asked next to her, and Georgia just shook her head and laughed bitterly.
"Nothing is going on. I'm fine. I have to take care of Annie and I have to get Vanessa back. It's okay. I
can hold up alone ..."
Georgia said this to comfort herself. But after she said that, her eyes got red.
Travis pushed the wheelchair and went over to hold Georgia's hand.
"Don't make it hard on yourself. Why do you have to be strong in front of me? If you feel bad, just cry
out, and don't hold on. Georgia, you deserve the best love in the world."
Georgia cried out as she held Travis's hand. She didn't even know why she was crying. Maybe it was
because of Vanessa's disappearance, maybe it was because of Robert's indifference these days, and
the woman's voice on the other end of the phone just now. Maybe it was because she was having
doubts about her love.
More than that, even Georgia couldn't figure it out, and she just felt sad in her heart. The worry and
panic in her heart about Vanessa had not abated, and the man she trusted most seemed to be on the
verge of leaving her. She seemed to be left with nothing.
Throughout the night, even Georgia did not know how she cried and fell asleep.
When Georgia woke up the next day, she found that Travis had been sitting next to her hospital bed.
And the moment she opened her eyes, Travis woke up too.
"You're awake. Are you hungry? I'll have someone go get you a bowl of porridge."
Travis's voice was gentle, and Georgia felt a little guilty.
"Why did you sleep here last night? Your wounds haven’t healed yet either. How were you able to stay
here with me?"
Travis had several gunshot wounds, and he was injured to protect her. How could Georgia not care?
She felt so guilty.
"What are you thinking? It's just a few gunshot wounds. It's not like I didn't sleep. I was afraid you
would wake up in the middle of the night and cry again. You'll sleep better with someone by your side.
You used to be like this. When you were sad, if you slept alone, you often slept uneasily."
Georgia laughed in embarrassment.
However, today was the fourth day and there was still no news from Vanessa.
Georgia's face became heavy all of a sudden.
"Still no news from Vanessa today. If it goes on like this, Annie won't be able to take it anymore.
Vanessa has never been separated from Annie for so long. Last night, I forced the housekeeper to take
Annie back to bed and let her rest at home. But today, Annie will definitely come over. I don't even
know how I'm going to comfort her later."
Besides Annie's matter, Georgia was now more worried about Vanessa's safety.
She didn't dare to say the worst-case scenario, and she didn't want to say it.
She could only keep telling herself that Vanessa would definitely return to Annie's side. She would
definitely come back safely, and they would definitely find Vanessa.
"Maybe we'll hear from Vanessa in a little while. You have to put your mind at ease. No news now is
probably for the best. At least you can still have hope ... If the woman who started the rumor really
hated Vanessa to the bone and didn't want Vanessa to live, we must have found Vanessa's body long
ago. But there is no news until now. Maybe this woman just wants to torture Vanessa. We will definitely
have a chance to find Vanessa."
Of course, Georgia could guess this situation. But the more this was the case, the more Georgia
became worried.
Six years ago, when Vanessa was bullied and eventually even got pregnant, Georgia had long
speculated that Rachel had done it.
Now that Rachel had taken Vanessa away again. Georgia didn't dare to think about what Rachel would
do this time.
If she did anything worse and more vicious than she did six years ago, what worried Georgia most was
whether Vanessa's mental state could sustain her to pull through.
While Georgia was thinking this, she found Robert making a phone call to her.
She suddenly had a feeling that Vanessa had been found, and Georgia excitedly picked up the phone.
"Robert, is there any news about Vanessa? Where is she now?"
"I've already found her. She's in a bad condition and is in the hospital. Alfred is also on his way here
now. I will take Vanessa to your hospital. Don't panic. You'll see her later."
Robert's words filled Georgia's heart with surprise. She asked curiously.
"What the hell is going on? When did you find Vanessa and what happened to her?"
Georgia asked in a panic, while Robert was somewhat silent.
"Later, I will transfer Vanessa to the hospital where you are, and we will talk about it then. You just wait
inside the hospital and don't worry. In about two hours, I will bring her to the hospital you are in."
After saying that, Robert hung up the phone. Travis asked next to her.
"Is Robert saying that he found Vanessa? What the hell is going on?"
Georgia shook her head with a bitter smile.
"He didn't make it clear over the phone, but he did say that Vanessa wasn't doing well and was
mentally unstable. Rachel must have done a lot to torture Vanessa. But Robert said he would take
Vanessa and transfer her to the hospital we are in. I will be able to see Vanessa then. He told me to
calm down now and stay inside the hospital and wait."
Georgia breathed a sigh of relief when she confirmed Vanessa's safety.
However, when she thought of what Robert said about Vanessa's unstable mental condition, Georgia
couldn't put her mind at ease.
She hoped that there wouldn't be too much trouble. Vanessa had already encountered so many
hardships, and she hoped Vanessa would not be defeated this time.
Robert was true to his word. After an hour or so, Robert made another phone call.
"Vanessa has been transferred to this hospital. She is in a coma and is in the third room on your floor.
You can come and see her now."
Hearing Robert’s words, Georgia spoke up excitedly to Travis.
"Vanessa is in the third ward on my floor! Come on, let's go there now."
Travis had been recovering from his injuries for four days and was still in a wheelchair. Georgia could
barely stand. She pushed Travis's wheelchair to Vanessa's ward.
Vanessa's eyes were closed and her face was white as she lay on the hospital bed, looking particularly
haggard.
Robert was sitting on the couch, and next to him was a tall, beautiful woman.
The woman was wearing a long red dress and looked like a strong woman. Georgia had not seen this
woman before. She didn't know how to speak, and Robert had already introduced her to Georgia.
"Georgia, Mr. Armstrong, this is a friend of mine. Her name is Eliana Warner. She is my alumna when I
was in college."
Georgia nodded to the woman called Eliana. The woman's intuition told her that these two people
might be more than simple alumni.
"Hello, Ms. Warner, I am Georgia."
After Eliana opened her mouth to introduce herself, she took the initiative to walk up to Georgia and
Travis. Then she extended her hand and shook Georgia's.
"Miss Lane, hi, my name is Eliana. Robert and I went to the same school. I heard that you and Robert
are getting married. Congratulations."
Eliana spoke in a dignified and polite manner, and did not seem to have the slightest malice toward her.
However, she didn’t know if it was her illusion, but Georgia was sure that Eliana's voice was the same
one she had heard on the phone yesterday.
She was unable to feel any affinity for the woman in front of her, and could only respond politely.
After the pleasantries of introduction were done, Georgia asked Robert.
"What the hell is going on? How did you find Vanessa? Did she encounter something serious?"
Georgia asked anxiously. Thinking about it, she couldn't help but ask another question.
"Also, what about Rachel? Has this woman been caught?"
Robert was about to answer when the ward door was thrown open again. Alfred rushed in like a
madman.
"She's already sedated. Don't you shout and wake her up."
Eliana spoke to the man who rushed in. She could see that the man who came in was a bit agitated,
and it was necessary for her to remind him.
Alfred didn't know Eliana. He looked at Vanessa, who was lying on the hospital bed with a pale face,
and went to Robert's face and asked the same question as Georgia.
"Where's Rachel? Did you catch her? And, how did you find Vanessa? Is she in a serious condition
now?"
Alfred and Georgia both dared not ask in detail what had happened to Vanessa.
"Although Vanessa has been sedated, let's talk in another room to avoid waking her up."
Robert spoke up, and his tone increasingly flustered Georgia.
However, she had no choice but to follow Robert to one of the hospital's parlors.
After everyone was seated, Robert spoke up.
"I didn't catch Rachel, and she just escaped. As for how I found the news about Vanessa, it’s Eliana
who told me. Eliana, you tell them what you know."
Georgia and Alfred both looked at the woman named Eliana in confusion. Eliana smiled politely at the
crowd.
"I received an anonymous email that named the place where Vanessa was being held. He reminded
me that I could tell Robert about it. Since I knew Robert, so I called him to confirm this thing. Then
Robert got someone to go to that place and get Vanessa out ... but, after Robert's people went there,
only Vanessa was left bruised and battered, and no one else was there. In fact, we couldn't guess what
had happened to Vanessa there."
"It's just that Vanessa has been in a state of collapse and confusion since our people found her. There
seems to be a slight problem with her mental condition, but I've contacted some international
psychologists. When she wakes up, they will give her a psychological examination, and only then can
we see if her situation is serious."
Eliana's explanation left Georgia and Alfred incomprehensible. Alfred asked impulsively already.
"Ms. Warner, I'm sorry, but I've never heard of you, and you and Vanessa don't know each other. Why
did you receive this anonymous email, and by the time you went there, it just so happened that
everyone else had disappeared?"
