Robert didn’t think he would have been okay with some random woman becoming his girlfriend in
name.
There had to have been a reason that he’d told Jason and Jasper to lay off and not clarify the truth.
It was funny that now he had to ask his wife to get at the truth.
“Eliana was your senior once, and you often went to the same events and competitions, so you count
as being familiar with each other. A lot of people mistook the two of you to be dating. You’d wanted to
clarify her, but Eliana said that there was a pervert courting her and she couldn’t think of a way to
refuse. So you let the rumor spread to get the pervert to give up out of kindness.”
“Was I such a generous person?”
Robert said in a somewhat exclamatory tone, as if he still didn’t believe this was the real reason.
Georgia couldn’t help but laugh.
“What, you still think you’re a cold and ruthless man?”
Robert smiled and shook his head.
“Never mind. There’s no evidence proving that Eliana did this, so let’s not discuss her for now.
“You’re hurt today, so the most important thing to do is rest for now. Don’t bother with anything else. I’ll
deal with things outside. Get some sleep. If you’re hungry, I’ll have people bring you something to eat.”
Georgia nodded. She really did feel tired.
After all, plenty of people had come to visit her tonight. After chatting incessantly, she could feel a wave
of drowsiness.
Before she could fall asleep, though, Georgia’s own phone rang.
The moment the line connected and she heard the noises from the other end, though, Georgia’s whole
face went white.
When she hung up, Georgia turned to Robert in a panic.
“Something’s happened to Elsie and Wilson. Get someone over there to help them.”
What followed was pandemonium.
Elsie and Wilson had brought the two kids home. There were bodyguards with them, but the two kids
were right there. How was Georgia supposed to rest easy?
It was the winter and especially cold outside. Robert didn’t allow Georgia to follow him out.
Georgia could only stay in the room and wait, anxious, hoping for good news.
Wilson had been the one to call. According to him, on the way back, they’d been ambushed.
A group of people had surrounded their car and cut them off. The situation was dire.
Wilson judged that the newcomers had ill intentions and had given Georgia a call straight away to have
her send assistance.
From what Wilson meant, he must have already called over the people his status allowed him to.
Georgia could only let Robert move his own forces to assist Wilson.
Wilson had broadcast his own location. Afterwards, Georgia stayed up in the room until midnight, not
daring to close her eyes.
There was no news from the children, and no call from Robert either.
Even though a secretary had given Georgia a call and said that they were about to find Wilson and
Elsie and the kids, there was no way Georgia could relax.
At about two to three in the morning, Georgia saw Robert come back, looking exhausted. Seeing that
he was also holding the two children’s hands, Georgia finally breathed easy.
The two kids looked scared, but they weren’t injured.
Georgia wept for joy, then hugged the kids and Robert tight.
With the family all together, Georgia’s heart finally settled for good. Robert’s next words, though,
brought it leaping back into her mouth.
“There were several dozen people moving against us tonight. Thankfully, Wilson’s capable. He drove
through the ambush, but there were still several people tailing him. You know how competent Wilson is.
He drove into an alley and dealt with all of those people. But there was one last opponent hiding in the
trunk and almost moved on the kids and Wilson and Elsie, but Elsie found out, threw herself in front of
Wilson and took a bullet in the gut. She’s in the operating room right now.”
As Robert said that, the two children clutched at Georgia and cried.
After all, they’d experienced everything tonight in person, and they were terrified even now.
“Is Elsie’s situation serious? When can she leave surgery?”
Georgia was really worried about Elsie, and even wanted to go straight outside the operating room to
wait.
But with the two kids hugging at her, she couldn’t leave at the moment.
“They should be able to save her. She was only shot once, and Wilson returned fire right away and
took the shooter down. We don’t know how long the surgery’s going to take, though.”
“Go wait outside the operating room. Tell me if anything else happens. I’ll stay with the children for
now.”
Robert nodded. After all, Elsie and Wilson had protected their kids today.
Now that she was seriously injured, there was no way he could ignore it.
He knew that Georgia wanted to go wait as well, and Robert naturally didn’t want her to go wait outside
the operating room while she was wounded as well.
At a time like this, of course he had to go there to see what’s what.
After Robert left, Georgia took the two kids’ hands and led them to bed, letting them lie beside her.
The children shook, and Annie cried for a long while before telling Georgia about what had happened.
“When I got on the car with Auntie Elsie and Uncle Wilson and left the hospital, we chatted all the while
and nothing happened. But after half an hour or so, a lot of cars appeared around our car, and a big
truck almost hit us. Uncle Wilson turned the steering wheel and drove us away. I didn’t know what was
happening. Uncle Wilson kept driving us away…
“Then we were at an alley in the old city, and there weren’t so many cars following us, but one car was
still there. Then Uncle Wilson told us to stay in the car and he got off to take care of those people, but
Auntie Elsie was worried, so she told me and Wesley to stay in the car and she got off too. Then I say
Auntie Elsie on the ground, and she was bleeding so much. Mommy, Daddy says Auntie Elsie will be
fine, but I’m so worried. I can’t even close my eyes. I just wanted Auntie Elsie to say something. She
was on the ground bleeding and fainting and I said so many things but Auntie Elsie didn’t hear me.
Uncle Wilson was scared to death and his face looked scary…”
The children didn’t understand the situation at the time too well, but Georgia got the gist of it.
A lot of cars had boxed Wilson and Elsie’s car in tonight, even trying to kill them.
If Wilson hadn’t driven away from their pursuit, they might have all been killed tonight.
Georgia’s heart quivered violently again. She hugged Annie tight, fear in her tones.
“Auntie Elsie just got hurt and fainted. She’ll wake up. Your Daddy’s outside the operating room. If
Auntie Elsie is out of danger, he’ll come tell us.”
Georgia forced herself to be calm and soothed the children. On the other side of the bed, Wesley also
spoke worriedly.
“Auntie Georgia, Uncle Wilson also got hurt, but he was outside the operating room all the while, and
no one seemed to be looking at how he’s hurt. I’m worried about Uncle Wilson.”
At that, Annie nodded.
“Mommy, when those people were attacking, Uncle Wilson’s arm was hurt. I saw blood come out. But
everyone was busy with Auntie Elsie, and nobody noticed Uncle Wilson was hurt. If he’s hurt, he needs
to be bandaged soon, but Uncle Wilson’s face was too scary, and I couldn’t say it.”
The children really were worried about Wilson and Elsie, and Georgia really wanted to go to their
operating room and do something, at least say something.
But with something this big having happened tonight and all the bodyguards outside, Georgia didn’t
dare leave the room, in case those people came back to finish the job and move on the children again.
She took up her phone and called Robert.
