“Is the surgery over yet?”
“Just over. Elsie’s out of danger. The doctors are wheeling her into the ward. I arranged for her to be
put in a room on your floor. She’ll be two rooms away. I’ll be over in a moment. Don’t panic. Take the
kids and wait for me.”
Georgia heaved a sigh of relief. Thank goodness Elsie was fine.
“What about Wilson? What’s his condition?”
“He’s kept quiet and stayed outside the operating room. I wanted to talk to him but he ignored me. I
think he must be too worried. He’s with me heading to Elsie’s room.”
“The children told me that Wilson’s wounded too. Have the hospital get a nurse over there to bandage
him. He’s definitely going to disregard his own body, so get him to do it.”
Robert blinked, then lifted his head to look at Wilson.
Wilson was following the nurse and doctors as they pushed Elsie’s bed. His face was cold and silent,
while his gaze was fixed on Elsie and no one else.
He was wearing a black jacket. Looking over, only then did Robert see the red blood seeping from his
arm. The color of Wilson’s clothes was too deep, and people hadn’t even noticed.
The way Wilson looked, he didn’t seem too concerned with his wound.
“I’ve got it. I’ll have a nurse treat the wound for him.”
Robert hung up and they stepped into the elevator. He stood at the Wilson’s side and spoke to him.
“Your arm’s still bleeding. You should have it bandaged.”
This time, Wilson finally looked at Robert and responded.
“It’s just a minor wound. Nothing for you to be concerned about.”
“If you don’t bandage that wound, do you want to have other people take care of Elsie for the next few
days? Or do you want her to watch your drag your injured body around to take care of her, making her
worried? Mr. Weaver, you have to look after your own body before you protect others and take care of
others.”
At that, Wilson fell silent for a long while.
Only after Elsie was inside her room did he turn to Robert and speak.
“I’ll get a nurse to bandage the wound. Look over Elsie’s room for me and don’t leave for the moment.
I’m not too confident in other people.”
Seeing that Wilson seemed to have taken his words to heart, Robert nodded.
When Wilson left, Georgia had taken the two kids and come outside Elsie’s bedroom escorted by
bodyguards.
The two sides were just a few meters apart and coming wasn’t an issue.
The two kids now knew that their Auntie Elsie was safe, and their faces showed relief.
But before going into Elsie’s room, Georgia turned to Annie and Wesley.
“Auntie Elsie’s just gotten out of surgery and needs to rest. Don’t talk when you go inside, and keep it
quiet if you have any needs. Once you see Auntie Elsie, follow me to the room and rest, okay?”
“I can do it, Mommy.”
Annie slapped her chest confidently, while Wesley also smiled at Georgia.
“I won’t be noisy with Auntie Elsie, Auntie Georgia. I’ll keep quiet.”
Georgia smiled and brought the two kids inside the room.
There was a slew of bodyguards outside the room already, while inside, it was just Elsie lying there and
Robert sitting on the sofa.
Seeing the three of them come in, Robert stood, shot a worried look at Georgia, and turned to the kids.
“Are the two of you scared? Aren’t you tired staying up so late?”
“Don’t talk so loudly, Daddy, you’ll wake Auntie Elsie.”
Annie spoke, her voice especially low, and Robert hurriedly apologized to the children.
“It’s Daddy’s fault. Go see Auntie Elsie, then.”
The family conversed quietly, and Georgia brought Annie and Wesley over to Elsie’s bedside.
The two children stared at Elsie, and after a while, they turned and grasped at Georgia’s hand.
“Mommy, Wesley and I have seen Auntie Elsie now. You can take us back now so Auntie Elsie can
rest.”
Georgia shot a look at Robert.
Just at that moment, Wilson came inside.
He looked at the group inside the room, while Wesley and Annie walked concernedly to his side.
“Are you okay, Uncle Wilson? Have you treated your wound yet?”
Wilson crouched down and spoke gently to the children.
“I’m fine. Go back with your Mommy and rest for now. Auntie Elsie is only waking up tomorrow. Come
see her then.”
After that, Robert and Georgia brought the two kids back to Georgia’s own room.
This sort of luxury room had other beds for family members to sleep in anyway, so in the end, Robert
brought Wesley to another bed and coaxed him to sleep.
Georgia let Annie lie in her own bed, and the two went to sleep together.
The most important thing for husband and wife to do now was of course to coax the children to sleep to
avoid having them stay up some more.
Of course they didn’t dare take the children home now. Without resolving this incident, neither of them
dared to have their children anywhere they couldn’t see.
And encountering something like this, the kids could get scared at night and have nightmares, which
naturally meant their parents should be there.
They slept all the way until sunrise. Georgia had been hurt to begin with, and after Annie fell asleep,
she drifted off completely.
Robert, though, saw his son asleep, and walked up to his wife and daughter’s bedside.
Seeing them all sleeping, he relaxed and left Georgia’s room.
After that, he called Wilson over and asked about all the details of the night.
Wilson knew the whole chain of events, and Robert wanted to find out who was behind it tonight.
He’d put people on the investigation already, but Wilson was capable, and he’d experienced everything
tonight personally, and knew all the nitty gritty bits.
Investigating together with Wilson made it easier to find out the truth.
The two stood in the corridor, and Wilson started laying out his suspicions and speculations.
“I feel like those people were targeting me. If their target was Annie and Wesley, when I got out of the
car, the people who managed to follow me would have tried their utmost to fire at the people inside the
car, but I feel like they kept on trying to kill me and disregarded the other people in the car. Even the
one who came to ambush us later was aiming for me.
“If Elsie hadn’t discovered the ambusher and thrown herself between me and the bullet, I might not just
be wounded today, but dead outright.”
Which was to say, the target of tonight wasn’t Robert and his two children.
Understanding Wilson’s meaning, Robert faced him and spoke.
“Do you have any suspects, then?”
