“Fine, I don’t understand people who have romantic love.” Elsie sighed.
She had no hopes in romance. The past experience she had made her only had one hope in life, which
was to eat and sleep well.
Material life was the most important thing to her. As for romantic love, she had no hopes in it at all. She
could not understand why those people around her cared so much about romantic relationship.
“I’ve promised Annie to let both of you meet after you’re awake, and I’ve told you what’s happened to
my sister. Have you figured out how to face this issue when you talk to her later?” Elsie had told
Georgia everything that happened to her sister.
As for how Georgia thought they should deal with Vanessa’s issue in the future, they still did not have a
discussion about it.
Georgia was shocked regarding what happened to Vanessa too.
It was just that knowing Robert had lost his memory and he even had a new lover made the issue even
more shocking.
That was why she did not discuss with Elsie regarding Vanessa’s issue just now.
“What else could we do? Just go with the flow. Like what you’ve said, what’s done have been done. I
can’t possibly tell Vanessa what on earth she had experienced in the past and ruin her peaceful life
now. My only hope is that Alfred Chow is good at telling lies so he could at least let Vanessa live
peacefully and happily for the rest of her life.” Elsie nodded silently.
She took out her phone and video-called Annie. Of course, Annie had a phone.
Annie was now at Alfred’s villa in City G, watching a three months old baby boy.
The baby still could not roll over and his daily routine was eating and sleeping.
When he opened his eyes occasionally, he would show his curiosity towards the world and smiled for
no reason. Annie’s everyday enjoyment was to play with him. Since she was Mommy Van’s daughter,
she naturally felt close towards the kid.
She played with his little brother by his cradle as usual while shaking a rattle drum toy. Although
Vanessa still had not regained her memory, Annie’s intimacy with her was not affected at all. Annie did
not show any distancing towards her and both of them got along exceptionally well. The phone rang
and noticing it was from her aunt, she immediately picked it up.
“Hi auntie,” Annie greeted Elsie and noticing Elsie now standing in a ward, which was her mother’s, she
asked out of curiosity, “Auntie, where’s mommy? Please let me have a look at mommy.” Elsie smiled
and she handed the phone straight to Georgia.
Annie was completely dumfounded that moment. “Mommy, you’re finally awake? Are you really awake?
Am I dreaming now?”
Georgia spoke at the other end of the call, “Annie baby, I just got out of coma this morning. Elsie told
me I’ve been in coma for a year. Annie’s been a good girl this whole year, you’ve listened to Aunt Elsie
when mommy’s not around. Annie, you’re mommy’s proudest sweetheart!” The rim of Annie’s eyes
went a little red when she heard her praise, yet she looked a little shy and embarrassed too.
“Mommy, you’re finally awake. I’ve spoken to you beside your bed everyday, hoping that you’ll be
awake one day. I’ll go back to City D to visit you!” Annie was so excited that she could not wait to rush
to the hospital and hug her mother tightly.
“Calm down, you can’t just come back to City D to visit me without informing others. Where’s your
Mommy Van? Is she with you now?” Georgia wanted to see Vanessa too to see how she looked like
now, and also to know how her mental state was.
Vanessa had listened to their conversation at the side and knowing Georgia had gone awake, she was
shocked at first. She was then brimmed with surprise of joy.
It was indeed good news when her bestie had gone out of coma. Annie gave her the phone. “Mommy
Van, mommy wants to talk to you.”
Vanessa took the phone over. She and Georgia looked at each other. Vanessa had a sense of
familiarity when she saw the person in front of her.
Although she could not retrieve any memory, she felt affectionate as long as she saw Georgia’s face.
“Gigi, I’m sorry that I’ve lost my memory. But I know you must be my best friend. As long as I see you,
I’ll be happy.”
Georgia did not expect her to say that the moment she spoke.
She knew what she was thinking, it was most likely that because she had lost her memory, she felt
guilty and had kept on thinking it was her fault to forget someone. Georgia quickly consoled her.
“Why do you have to be sorry? It’s all because of accident. Seeing you living healthily now, and I’ve
gone out of coma, isn’t it good news for both of us? Please don’t feel bad. It’s good if you could regain
your memory, but it’s totally fine if you couldn’t, just go with the flow. The most important thing is, both
of us are now living.”
Vanessa smiled, and both of them began to gossip.
Georgia basically asked about her recent life and listened to her talking about some part of her life to
see whether she did live happily.
Annie joined their conversation too in the end. She went to Vanessa’s arms and talked to Georgia on
the phone.
They managed to talk for more than two hours from the video call.
Georgia had decided with Vanessa after discussion to bring Annie to City D after a while. She bet she
did not have the energy to take care of Annie now too, and there were still a lot more things for her to
do.
It would be better for Annie to stay in City G at the moment. She could only cajole Annie to continue
staying in City G in the end.
After hanging up the call, Alfred came back. He kissed Vanessa on the face the moment he returned.
Both of them looked lovey-dovey as a married couple. After sweet-talking for some time, Alfred carried
the child up and sat next to Vanessa, talking to her.
Annie had mixed feeling towards Alfred.
She thought he still treated her nicely now, unlike before, being a little disgusted of her. Yet Annie was
not easily approachable.
She could only show her respect to Alfred as an adult and she could not like him. She could not forget
how Alfred used to take her away and scold her.
“Alfred, I’ve discussed with Gigi on phone, that I’ll take Annie to City D after a while. It’s time to have a
meet with them too, and I could use that opportunity to bring Annie to Gigi. Gigi must have missed
Annie very much.” Alfred’s muscles slightly tensed up at once and he wore a weird expression.
“Must you meet Georgia in City D? I could send someone to take her here and let you guys have a
meet.” Memory was an abstruse thing. Alfred could not guarantee that he was able to completely avoid
Vanessa retrieving her memory.
The happy and tranquil life he had now was the life he did not dare to dream before. Since he had tried
all he could to get this happiness, he would not let anyone ruin it no matter how.
“Alfred, to be honest, I could feel that you’re always afraid that I’ll go back to City D, what’s wrong? I
always feel that you’re scared that I’ll leave you, why are you so worried about that? We’ve already
gotten married and had even given birth to a son. You should have faith in me.” Alfred let the servant to
take Annie outside to play. He held Vanessa’s hand and talked to her alone after going into the flower
garden.
The villa of the Chow family had a huge garden and both of them stood next to a bunch of flower
bushes.
“I’ve told you before, that you’ve used to get bullied in City D. You didn’t live well after we separated
those few years, and you had a painful memory. Sometimes I thought it would be better for you to
forget those memories. That’s why I don’t want you to go back.” Alfred certainly would not tell her the
truth of her past, he could tell her that some memories were painful in a euphemistic and deceptive way
to persuade Vanessa not to be stubborn to retrieve her past memories.
“I won’t be scared, I have you to protect me by my side, and also my friends and family. No one could
hurt me,” Vanessa replied assertively.
She felt that she would not get defeated by anything as she had her husband, child, sister and best
friend by her side.
“Then could you give me some time? After settling everything here in City G, I’ll take you back to City
D. Both of us would bring Annie back together.” Alfred knew clearly that it was impossible to forever
forbid Vanessa going to City D.
And the more he stops her, the more curious Vanessa could be towards her past.
He should act a bit more open-minded on the other hand and took her back himself. There should not
be too many accidents if he was following.
“How long would you be able to settle everything?” Vanessa did not expect that Alfred was willing to
return with her. She was certainly willing to be with him. “Maybe half a month and more, we’ll take
Annie with us and go back after that.” Vanessa pondered and thought she could wait for that period of
time.
She then agreed.
Meanwhile, after hanging up the video call with Vanessa, Georgia suddenly realized the door of her
ward was open.
The ones who came in were Ivan, Jason and Jasper. Elsie and the hospital staff had informed them
about her situation immediately after she was awake in the morning.
They were certainly delighted about that. Having thought about what happened between Robert and
that woman, they felt that that must be destiny that Georgia had gone out of coma at this crucial
moment.
Three of them then promised to go to the hospital to visit Georgia together.
To Georgia, she was just passed out for a while.
Having seen them after she was awake, she did not have any distant feeling.
Although she clearly knew one year had passed, to them, too many things had happened in just one
year.
One year time was too long that they thought Robert was already dead, and Georgia might forever be
in coma.
