Chapter 24 Did She Commit Suicide?
If it was not that Georgia killed his sister, Robert would introduce Georgia and Annie to his mother right now.
But his mother loved his sister so much.
His mother hated the person who kissed his sister, and he did not want to tell her who was Annie's mother. Otherwise, once his mother knew the truth, his mother would take legal means to take the child back.
Besides, Robert was more afraid that his paternity test in the United States was not the same.
If Georgia lied to him and falsified the paternity test, his mother would be disappointed since he did not tell his mother in advance.
"Mom, it's complicated. I had a one night stand with a woman a few years ago, and now she came to me and said she gave birth to our child. But the girl has a serious heart condition and will need surgery to recover."
Maisie frowned.
"Does this woman have a clean background? Did the child take a paternity test?"
"Mom, she is a woman in the club, don't take it seriously. The paternity test result will come out the day after tomorrow, but, I like the girl. I fear she is really my daughter, so, I called Ivan back."
Ivan tried to reduce his mother's attention to Georgia and Annie.
Otherwise, his mother could have rushed to the hospital and grabbed the child.
Sure enough, hearing that that woman worked in a club, she frowned.
"Women work in those places only care about money. If she had really conceived your child, she would have asked you for money. Why wait till now? I think this woman has ulterior motives, she used it to cheat you to find Ivan to do the operation."
"Mom, I know, but the girl looks like my sister. I can't wait for the results of the paternity test. If she is really my daughter and Ivan is back, he can arrange the operation plan immediately, and she can have the operation immediately when the result comes out from the US."
Hearing her son mentioned her daughter, Maisie's heart softened.
"I know, but be careful. No women of that kind of place are worth to trust. Even if the child is really your daughter, you need to take her back to our family and cut off the connection between them."
Robert nodded.
"Mom, I know. Don't worry."
Maisie felt upset remembering her daughter.
"Next month is the death anniversary of Wendy, go to the cemetery with me to see her."
Robert patted his mother's hand gently.
"Mom, don't worry, I'll be there."
They were silent for a while before Wendy said.
"If the child is your daughter, how do you explain to Emma? No matter you like her or not, she is your fiancee after all."
Hearing the name of Emma, Robert's face darkened.
This woman had cheated him for six years, and he had planned to give a lesson to the Lane family.
But he decided to wait a few more days, lest his mother asked him why he dealt with them.
"Mom, don't worry. If she is really my daughter and she cannot accept it, I will cancel the marriage engagement."
Maisie felt Emma was good to her in the past six years, so she could not help but said.
"In those days when you said you wanted Emma to be your fiancee, I didn't agree. Her half-sister killed your younger sister, even if she was in prison, I still hate her. But you like her and Jennifer was pushing you hard, so I reluctantly agreed."
"Now, I think Emma likes you, and she endured my bad temper for six years. Why you are unsatisfied with her? It was you chose her at the beginning."
Robert showed a bitter smile.
That night six years ago, he had been drugged by Jennifer and had run into a woman who had knocked on his door.
He wanted Jennifer to give up and he had feelings for that woman. Actually he felt sorry, because he forced her. Therefore, Robert made Emma his fiancee.
However, after that, the excitement of that night was never there again, and Robert attributed it to the drugs. Now, he knew it was Georgia.
"Mom, don't worry, I will tell the result when it comes out."
Maisie was anxious. She wanted to asked more questions, but her mobile phone suddenly rang.
It was Owen calling.
Maisie felt surprised, but she still picked up the phone.
"What is it, Mr. Lane?"
Over the phone, Owen was crying.
"Ma'am, I failed to contact Robert. Emma committed suicide, and she is now in the hospital to have rescue. Can you ask Robert to the hospital to see Emma? She is sad and did not understand why Robert would rather believe a strange woman than believe her!"
Maisie could not understand Owen's explanation.
She was worried since Emma committed suicide.
"Don't worry, send me the address. I will take Robert to the hospital now."
After hanging up the phone, Maisie looked at Robert.
"Owen told me Emma committed suicide. What is going on?"
Would Emma commit suicide?
Robert only felt ridiculous. He thought Emma used this means to seek for his forgiveness.
"Mom, don't worry, it is just Emma's trick, I will go to deal with it."
Maisie reminded the strange woman Owen talked about.
"Go to the hospital with me to see Emma. What did you do? Why did she commit suicide? Owen said it was because of another woman. You'd better explain it."
Maisie said. She had stood up and then told the butler to take the car.
Robert comforted his mother, trying to let her give up seeing Emma.
However, Maisie firmly believed that her son was obsessed with another woman, and she suspected that it was the woman worked in the club.
How could she accept that?
She insisted to see Emma in the hospital and get to know the truth.
Robert could only follow his mother to the hospital.
This hospital was the hospital where Annie lived. Robert subconsciously had a bad feeling.
After they arrived at the hospital, Maisie came to the position Owen told her.
Emma committed suicide by cutting her wrists. She had been resuscitated and was now in intensive care.
Robert looked at Emma lying inside through the glass door, he had doubt in heart.
Did he really misunderstand this woman?
However, thinking of the paternity test results, Robert did not believe that Georgia cheated him.
He hoped Annie was really his child.
"What is going on? Why Emma committed suicide? Who was that strange woman you said on the phone?"
Emma, after all, accompanied by her side for six years, Maisie was satisfied with Emma.
She was obedient and sensible, and she did not like disobedient women to be her daughter-in-law.
So, after visiting Emma, Maisie asked Owen and Flora.
Flora just silently shed tears, and Owen sighed to Maisie.
"Ma'am, I don't want to judge, but can Robert could take some time to find out the truth of the matter? Emma was really sad, she was very strong before."
Owen gently took his wife's hand after saying that.
They obviously didn't want to say too much.
Maisie looked at her son who had been silent.
"I know, take good care of Emma, I will come to see you again."
Robert beckoned Robert to go with her after that.
When they arrived in the hospital garden, Maisie asked in a cold voice.
"I have no objection on which woman you like, Robert. But I won't accept a woman who works in a club or who comes from a bad family."
"If you really like her, you can keep her outside, but you are not allowed to marry her."
Robert could not help but sigh.
"Mom, don't overthink about it. The Lane family was greedy, they were just acting, don't take it seriously."
Robert was confused that if he had wronged the Lane family.
But he could not tell his mother the truth right now, so he could only put it off.
"Forget it, I only hope you remember how your father hurt me, at least, you don't marry a woman who is of the same kind of person of your father, otherwise, I will be angry."
Maisie's voice became harsh.
"Mom, don't worry, I won't."
They had reached a superficial agreement.
Robert sent his mother back home and had a rest till the middle of the night.
In the next morning, he went to work as usual.
Maisie once again came to Emma's ward. Emma was still sleeping. Maisie asked the question she did not ask yesterday.
"Robert was here yesterday, and I know you can't tell the truth as he was around. Now he is not here, Mr. Simpson, can you explain to me exactly what is about that strange woman?"
After tossing and turning for one night, Maisie finally decided to come over to ask the truth.
Her only daughter had gone, and she absolutely would not allow any uncontrollable things to her son.
"Ma'am, that strange woman is my evildoer daughter, Georgia. She killed your daughter with a car, but, she now seduced Robert shamelessly."
"Not only that, she had given birth to a child. She used tricks to get Robert believe that the daughter was his. Ma'am, I am sorry that I have ever had such a wicked and selfish daughter." Hearing that, Maisie's face turned pale.
