SWNOVELS Chapter 26 A Woman Works in a Club
Robert stood up immediately and asked with concern.
"Was Annie frightened?"
"Annie cried to sleep. When I had an argument with your mother, she said that Annie was my daughter, and Annie cried violently."
Georgia tried to maintain calm, but Robert could hear helplessness in her voice.
"Wait at the hospital. I'll be there."
With that, Robert stood up and walked outside. He got the secretary to have the car ready.
Half an hour later, Robert came to the ward.
Annie was still asleep, Robert felt his heart soft looking at Annie.
"Don't worry, I'll talk to my Mom."
With Robert here, Georgia did not feel panic anymore, as if she had someone to rely on.
"Mr. Simpson, your mother knew what I was, and did not believe my explanation. She said she would not let Dr. Ivan operate on Annie. Can you do something about it?" His mother was paranoid and stubborn, and Robert knew that.
Now, his mother certainly did not believe that Annie was his daughter, but felt everything was Georgia's plot.
"Don't worry, I'll fix it."
Georgia felt relieved gradually.
But she still felt unease.
When they were silent, the door was opened again.
"Georgia... I don't know what Alfred had done, and I can't find a job at all..."
Vanessa spoke sadly to Georgia as soon as she entered the room.
In the middle of her speech, she saw the man standing in the ward.
Feeling embarrassed, Vanessa greeted the man apologetically and then looked at Georgia.
"Sorry, were you chatting? I will go out..."
With that, she turned and walked out of the room.
Georgia was worried about the situation of Vanessa. As she was hesitant to go out or not, Robert said.
"Go talk to your friends. I'll watch the child."
"Thank you."
With that, Georgia walked out of the ward and caught up with Vanessa who was ready to take the elevator.
"Vanessa, you said that you couldn't find a job. What was going on? What did Alfred do?"
Georgia took Vanessa's arm and asked with concern.
Vanessa felt afflictive, and leaned on Georgia's shoulder and burst into tears.
"Georgia, you know, my major is clothing design. After I got fired by Alfred yesterday, I submitted my resume to many design companies, originally, I had several interview today."
"But today they all called and told me I don't need to take the interviews. I asked one of the companies and found out that they had been told that I wasn't allowed to be accepted. I thought it over and over, and it must be Alfred who did this, and he was getting back at me..."
Vanessa adjusted their mood, but she could not hide sadness on her face.
Georgia was worried.
She knew the panic of not getting a job.
"Vanessa, it is impossible that Alfred could do anything. There will always be a way. Don't worry."
Up to now, Vanessa could only comfort herself like this.
"Vanessa, what is it between you and Mr. Simpson? Why he is in the ward?"
Vanessa asked about Robert who was in the ward.
Thinking of Robert's mother, Georgia felt it would be better not to tell her the bad things, less Vanessa would be worried.
"Robert likes Annie very much. He comes to see Annie at this hour."
Inside the ward, Robert looked at Annie gently. He put his hand gently on the soft cheeks of Annie.
This was his daughter.
He would protect her, love her, let her become the happiest little princess in the world.
"You.....Uncle, why are you here, where is my mother?"
Annie suddenly opened her eyes, and she asked in panic.
"Your mother is outside. I'll call her in."
Robert stood up and went out of the room.
At this time, Georgia and Vanessa were talking standing in the corridor not far away. Robert walked over to them.
"Annie is up and wants to see her mother."
Georgia and Vanessa stopped talking at once, turned around and went into the ward.
Remembering that Annie was crying, Georgia explained to Vanessa.
"Vanessa, something happened in the morning. Annie now knows that I am her mother. Help me explain, Annie was crying to sleep."
Vanessa was anxious.
When they went to the ward together, Annie looked at his mother, and then at Auntie Georgia. She was confused. "Mom -"
Annie opened her arms to Vanessa.
Vanessa hurried to pick Annie up.
"I am here. How do you feel now? Are you ok?"
Annie shook her head and asked with tender voice.
"Mom, why is Auntie Georgia also my mother?"
Looking at her daughter who was confused, Georgia felt her heart sour.
Robert stood up and walked to Georgia. He suddenly took Georgia's hand.
"Don't worry, the child will naturally be intimate to her mother. She was confused, and she will like you and be close to you."
Georgia felt that his hand hot. As she wanted to break free, the man suddenly let go of her.
Georgia felt lost for a while, and felt her mood strange.
"I hope, Mr. Simpson, that what you said will come true."
Vanessa thought for a moment and explained to Annie.
"Annie, it's not just you. Other kids have several mothers, too. They're called godmothers, but I didn't ask you to call that."
Annie did not understand.
"Is Auntie Georgia my godmother? Mom, will you leave me?"
Annie was so frightened that she grasped Vanessa's arm tightly and her tears began to fall.
"Annie, I will always stay by your side. Auntie Georgia is not a godmother, she is your biological mother, I am your foster mother, and you can always call me Mom. But don't worry, Auntie Georgia and I will always be by your side. Neither of us will leave you."
Annie was confused, but after making sure her mother would not leave her, she became less afraid.
Georgia dared not come forward. She could only look at Annie and Vanessa closely holding each other.
After a long time, Annie looked at Georgia.
"Auntie Georgia, I like you, but, I like Mom more. Will you drive my Mom away?"
Georgia shook her head.
"Annie, I have no right to drive anyone away. You will always be with your mother."
Annie's fear in the heart reduced some. She looked at the man beside Georgia doubtingly, thinking of the quarrel between the strange woman and Auntie Georgia.
Annie asked suddenly.
"Auntie Georgia, who is this uncle?"
Annie had seen this uncle to her ward for the second time and her mother and Auntie Georgia did not drive him out, Annie knew that he should be a friend of her mother and Auntie Georgia. "Annie, he is Auntie Georgia's friend, you can call him Uncle Robert."
After Georgia said that, Annie asked.
"...Is he my father?"
No sooner had the words been uttered than a hush fell over the air.
Georgia didn't know what to say, and Vanessa didn't know what was going on.
Robert stepped forward, and walked to Annie and took her hand.
"You're right, Annie. I'm your father."
Annie, however, cast down her eyes awkwardly.
"I...I'm not used to calling you Dad, I don't know you..."
Robert was disappointed, but soon he smiled gently.
"It is ok. Call me whatever you want to, and I will try to make you know me."
Annie raised her head and then seriously looked at Robert.
"Thanks for coming to see me, Uncle."
Robert knew that Annie was still small and he could push her so hard.
He turned around and looked at Georgia.
"I still have some things to do, so I gotta leave. Take good care of Annie."
With that, Robert said goodbye to Annie.
"Annie, I have something to do. I'll see you next time."
"Good-bye, Uncle."
Annie said politely.
After Robert got in his car, he thought of what Vanessa had said in the ward, he made a phone call to his secretary.
"Secretary Dean, look into Vanessa's situation. I heard she can't find a job now."
"Got it, Mr. Simpson."
After asking the secretary to postpone his schedule, Robert made a phone call to his cousin Ivan.
Ivan was sitting stiffly in front of Maisie, Robert's mother.
"Auntie, what do you want to say? You look at me and don't say anything, it makes me panic."
The whole family knew that Maisie's character was stubborn and aggressive. Ivan was not used to talk to her.
Maisie suddenly came to him early in the morning, Ivan only felt that there was trouble.
"Ivan, I need your help."
After a long time, Maisie finally said.
"What is it, Auntie?"
Ivan said without hesitation.
"Didn't you promise yesterday to operate on Robert's daughter? I want you to refuse to help Robert."
Ivan was stunned at a draught.
"Auntie, that is your granddaughter, you don't want me to have the operation?"
As Ivan said that, Maisie's eyes became cold.
"Your cousin was cheated by a woman. She is just a woman works in the club. She is used to lying and cheating. And she just wants to you have the operation. You don't need to pay attention to her."☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
