Daddy, Mommy had been in Prison

Chapter 113 Picking Her Up After Work

Georgia looked at the caller. It was Miranda.

Georgia remembered Miranda’s request to her in an instant. Recently, she hadn’t looked for Layla at

all.

She had completely forgot about it. She rubbed her forehead and answered the phone.

“Ms. Bradley, hello.”

As soon as the call was connected, Miranda’s delicate voice questioned her through the phone.

“Miss Lane, didn’t you promise to help me to figure out my mother’s matter? Why didn’t you call me

even after so long? Have you been deliberately ignoring me?”

She hadn’t done what she had promised and hadn’t given any response. Georgia felt that she did very

wrong and that Miranda was rightfully angry.

“Ms. Bradley, I’m sorry. A lot of things happened around me recently and I forgot about it.”

As soon as Georgia finished saying this, Miranda couldn’t help but scold her.

“Miss Lane, is this how you do things? Can’t you keep your promise? If you weren’t going to help me

with the matter, then you shouldn’t have promised me in the first place.”

Georgia hadn’t gone to work for a while. She hadn’t called Layla and Layla didn’t call her as well.

Georgia suddenly felt that what she had done was really untypical for her and Layla was probably also

disappointed in her.

“Sorry, Ms. Bradley. I take full responsibility for this.”

Georgia apologized again but Miranda began to cry on the phone.

“I called my mother many times but she didn’t answer at all. Miss Lane, you promised me that you will

help me contact my mother. How could you forget…”

The cries of the woman on the other end of the phone became more and more aggrieved. Georgia

sighed helplessly.

“After hanging up this call, I will immediately contact Layla and nonchalantly ask her. Will this be okay?”

When Georgia said this, Miranda’s sobbing stopped.

“Then you must do what you say and call her immediately, Miss Lane. If you still can’t do it then,

believe it or not, I will rush to you and tell the world that you have served in the club!”

Miranda actually threatened her willfully. Georgia couldn’t stop herself from laughing a bit.

“Okay, got it! I will call her right away, Ms. Bradley. Just wait for my call.”

They hung up the phone. Georgia walked to a quiet place in the corridor and she called Layla.

It was already more than seven o’clock in the evening by now and it was already time for her to go to

the club for work.

When Georgia called her, Layla was in the dressing room ordering the ladies. Seeing that it was

Georgia’s call, Layla’s expressions were not nice.

She didn’t pick up right away but continued to arrange her work. After all the ladies’ makeup and

clothes were prepared, Layla picked up her cellphone and went out.

At this time, Georgia called again.

“I thought you had forgotten your job and planned to never contact me again. I also know that for

someone like you who does this kind of scientific research, you must be afraid of being discovered by

others that you do this kind of work!”

Layla’s voice was a little cynic. Georgia apologized quickly.

“Layla, a lot of things have happened to me. You also know about the last time when I went missing.

After that the man who had kidnapped me died and the police took me for interrogation. These days,

my daughter has disappeared. Also, something happened to my best friend at the wedding. I

completely forgot about the work in the club. I’m sorry.”

Layla also knew Georgia’s character; she was not the kind of a person who would just quit. But even if

she wasn’t coming to work, she would have at least given her prior notice. Seeing that Georgia hadn’t Content © copyrighted by NôvelDrama.Org.

even contacted her at all for such a long time, Layla inevitably felt a little resentful.

She was silent for a long time before responding.

“I see. Everyone has their own problems and I can’t say anything to forgive you but now that you have

explained it once, that’s enough. I guess you won’t come to work again, right?”

Layla asked again.

Georgia was pregnant now, and she had to drink at work, so she obviously couldn’t go to work.

Listening to Layla’s tone, Georgia felt that she should tell the truth.

“Layla, actually I won’t be able to come to work again. I’m sorry, I am too busy right now.”

Georgia didn’t want anyone to know about her pregnancy so she could only use this excuse to explain.

Layla was not surprised. She had expected this result a long time ago.

“Okay. Getting to know people is also fate. I also don’t want you to come to work at this place in the

future. I wish you a smoother journey.”

Layla was about to hang up after speaking but Georgia asked anxiously.

“Layla, don’t hang up. I have something to say.”

Layla felt a little puzzled and asked.

“What’s the matter?”

Thinking of Miranda, Georgia didn’t know how to say it for a while. So, she changed her way of saying.

“Layla, I also have a daughter. She is now five years old. She woke up a few days ago. Now whenever

I see her it makes me very happy. Her health and safety are my greatest wishes.”

“Ms. Miranda Bradley called me. She cried to me several times on the phone. She said that she regrets

misunderstanding you when she was young. I can see that she is an outspoken girl, she must have

been misled in the past by her stepmother. Ms. Bradley told me she wants to see you. She probably

wants to apologize to you.”

After Georgia said this, Layla fell silent at once.

After a long time of silence, Layla took a deep breath. She felt a little bit sour in her heart but her tone

was still merciless.

“It has been so many years. She has grown up without me by her side. In fact, she doesn’t need me as

a mother. I too have survived all these years alone and I don’t need her as a daughter. Tell her, let us

both be strangers to each other. If I die in the future, ask her to just remember to light a stick of incense

for me, that’s enough.”

After saying this, Layla hung up the phone directly.

She found a secluded place and the tears in her eyes began to fall slowly.

It wasn’t that she didn’t want to reconcile with her daughter. Of course, Layla hoped that she and her

daughter could become close as mother and daughter.

However, life had already come to this point. Layla knew how many dirty things she had done and she

knew how unbearable she was.

So, at that time when her daughter was cursed her ignorantly, Layla became very hurt because all of

those things were true. She had really sold her soul for too many things.

Layla felt that the ugliness in her soul could not be washed away.

If she accepted her daughter, who was the noble eldest lady of the Bradley family, and let everyone

know that her mother was the head of the prostitutes in a club, how much her daughter would be

ridiculed?

Layla didn’t want this kind of thing to happen, so she would much rather keep her distance from

Miranda and live like a pair of strangers.

If she waited for five years, maybe she would be able to try and talk to Miranda a few times.

However, not right now. She had sold herself to her lifesaver for twenty years. Layla couldn’t leave

before the twenty years were completed and she didn’t want to cause trouble for Miranda.

Georgia was silent for a long time after Layla hung up the phone. She didn’t know how to tell Miranda

about this.

However, Miranda called again.

“Miss Lane, your line was busy when I called you just now. I guess you must have called my mother.

Now when I called, you picked up right away. What did you both talk about? Did she agree?”

Miranda’s voice sounded very urgent, and it was full of expectation and anxiety.

Georgia couldn’t stop her tone from becoming a little sad.

“Ms. Bradley, Layla told me that she doesn’t want to see you for the time being…”

“Why doesn’t she want to see me? Didn’t you clearly explain to her that I misunderstood her back

then? Miss Lane, did you deliberately misunderstand what I said and said something to my mother that

made her misunderstand…”

Miranda’s voice sounded particularly angry, and Georgia could only explain helplessly.

“Ms. Bradley, Layla said that so many years have passed, you have grown up healthily and shouldn’t

need her anymore. She herself has also lived alone all this time. What Layla meant was, she wanted

you and her both to continue being strangers in the future. And when she dies, she hopes that you will

come and burn a stick of incense for her. she asks for nothing more.”

Miranda burst into tears on the phone and hung up immediately. Georgia sighed helplessly.

Everyone had their own hardships in this world, so did she, so did everyone else.

After hanging up the phone, Georgia checked the time. It was already eight o’clock in the evening and

it was time for her to go to the hospital to meet Annie and Vanessa. Georgia decided to get off work.

When she packed up her things and walked out of the MU building, Georgia saw a car approaching. It

turned out to be Robert’s car.

The window was rolled down and Georgia saw Robert sitting in the car.

“Get in the car.”

Robert said to Georgia. Georgia hesitated, but then opened the car door and sat in.

They were sitting in the back seat. Georgia looked at Robert sitting next to her and asked suspiciously.

“How come you are here?”

Was he picking her up from work? It was just that the time she usually got off work had long passed,

how could Robert be outside so coincidentally?

“Just as the car was passing by here, I saw you come out. I guess you are going to the hospital, so I

can drop you.”

Georgia nodded. Although she thought this was too coincidental, she didn’t ask much.

In fact, since six o’clock, the usual time Georgia got off work, Robert’s car had been parked outside. He

had been waiting for Georgia to come out until it was past eight o’clock.

However, Robert was never going to say it out loud.

In the second half of the journey, both of them remained silent.

Georgia had been struggling in her heart thinking about the morning’s paternity test report.

In fact, even if she hadn’t done a paternity test, Georgia had already determined since the jade pendent

was mentioned that the person that night was definitely Robert.

The only thing she wanted to be sure was whether she was wrong about Annie.

If she was wrong about her, Georgia was still going to insist on fostering Annie. Annie was her hope

and her spiritual pillar over the years.

Later, Georgia was going to find the child she gave birth to.

Only the paternity test proved that Annie was her daughter. However, the results of the paternity test

proved that Robert and Annie were not father and daughter.

Georgia thought about it for a while. It only meant that someone faked it. She was not interested in

exploring who faked it. She was sure that she had not lost any memories nor had previously been with

other men.

Then Annie must have been Robert’s daughter. Georgia secretly observed Robert’s facial features.

She suddenly discovered that Annie’s eyes were a bit similar to Robert’s eyes. Both of their eyes

pointed upwards at the end, but her own eyes did not look like this.

Georgia was in a dilemma. If she told Robert about the results of the paternity test, would he let Dr.

Ivan operate on her or not?

Should she say it or not? She thought.
