Daddy, Mommy had been in Prison

Chapter 82 Preparing for the Wedding

Something mattered happened both today and yesterday. Travis must be afraid to be left alone in the

ward.

Georgia comforted Travis.

“Travis, I definitely will come back if I promised you. You see, I come back now, right?”

Travis held Georgia’s hands tightly with unease.

Georgia totally understood that what Travis needed was the sense of safety, so she stayed with him in

the ward and kept talking to him.

Though Travis still seemed retarded, he could barely understand what she said.

Travis gradually got relaxed. After he fell asleep, Georgia went out of the room and she finally thought

of Robert who sent her here.

If she didn’t get it wrong, she remembered Robert followed her to the ward but he didn’t get in.

She looked around but didn’t see him.

She checked the time again. It had been more than one hour since they got here. He must have left.

As she thought, she made a call to Vanessa.

In the previous call she just told Vanessa that she did the record in the police station as well as some

general facts about the missing of Travis.

Vanessa was concerned about these matters very much, so Georgia decided to call her and told her

the details.

In the call, Georgia told her the fact that Chester Rogers was dead and explained the discussions in

Robert’s house on the car accident six years ago, and so on.

Vanessa was shocked in the phone.

“Gigi, I can’t believe it that your father should make you a scapegoat for his son’s crime. Are you his

daughter or not? How could he treat you like this?”

Vanessa was out of rage, and Georgia just smiled bitterly.

“Who knows? I used to have chance to do a paternity test, but now it doesn’t matter whether it’s done

or not. No matter he is my natural father or not, he wants to kill me more than anyone, so it doesn’t

matter at all to know the truth.”

Vanessa immediately sensed her upset and sadness in her words.

She grew up together with Georgia, knowing very well of Georgia’s tough life in the Lane family.

In the past, Gigi was treated with indifference and neglected in the family, and now the whole family

clearly wanted her to die.

Back to the news that Chester Rogers was dead, Vanessa asked with concern.

“Gigi, what happened to Chester Rogers? How did he die? Didn’t you say he was punched faint on the

ground when you and Travis escaped?”

Georgia also had doubt over Chester Rogers’ death.

There was no official news from policemen about autopsy report and other investigation reports.

Georgia felt as if a cloud hung over her head.

“Mr Rogers told me it was Owen Lane and Emma Lane that asked him to kidnap me. He said they

wanted me to be stained and ruined by some men and video the process. But Travis happened to be

there, so I escaped. I was not sure whether there were helpers of Mr Rogers, and I had to run as fast

as I can with Travis. Now when I think back, I should tie up fainted Mr Rogers and take him out of there

too, then I won’t be stuck in such an unsure position.”

“Could it be that Owen Lane and Emma Lane killed Mr Rogers?”

Vanessa asked confusedly. Georgia replied helplessly.

“Who knows? Maybe they did it. Maybe there are still other enemies of mine in the dark. Vanessa, let’s Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

not over guess it and wait for official reports from the policemen. I just hope it won’t go wrong.”

Vanessa nodded.

“You are right. Let’s just wait for the official reports. Wish it won’t get you and Travis into trouble.”

As she finished, she suddenly thought of Travis being retarded so she asked Georgia.

“Shall we take Travis to the doctor and have his brain examined? To find out why he become a fool.

How wonderful it would be if he can be cured. Gigi, your life is so hard now, and I know you so well.

You definitely will take the responsibility of looking after him. But you also have to take care of Annie,

it’s too much for you to take responsibility of another one’s life.”

Georgia completely knew her own situation. She indeed had no energy to take care of Travis.

However, Travis’ only family in the world was dead, and she was the only one he could rely on.

If she didn’t take the responsibility, who would?

“Vanessa, we don’t have better ways, do we? I can’t leave Travis alone. I don’t take him for

examination yet, because I am so busy these days. When I get free, I will do it. It couldn’t be better if he

could be cured. The thing is that there are none of his families left in the world. When I went to Travis’

hometown along with policemen, I learnt from the neighbor that his grandmother died. Now he only has

me to look after him. I can’t give up him.”

Georgia would always remember their old days in school, when she was in relationship with Travis. It

was the happiest time in her life.

As Georgia finished the sentence, on the other side of the phone, Vanessa kept silent for quite a long

time.

She surely understood that persuading Gigi to give up Travis was no better than letting Travis be a

beggar on the street. Not to mention Gigi, even she can’t bear to let that happen.

Deep in thought for a while, Vanessa spoke out her puzzlement.

“Gigi, what are your feelings to Travis now? Do you still love him?”

Georgia smiled.

“Vanessa, I’m not that simple and innocent girl anymore. I have a busy job now and have a daughter to

look after. I had a car accident and I was in prison once. I have suffered so much. If Travis came to my

life in the hard part of it and helped me out, perhaps I would love him for my whole life. But he vanished

before I started my hardship. With a decade having passed, I’m full of nostalgia and gratitude to him.

I’m glad to have a friend like him in my life. Now he is sick, and I would like to take care of him and

protect him. But that kind of feelings is not love anymore.”

Vanessa knew well that Georgia was used to protecting herself because she was always neglected in

the family.

Waiting ten years fruitlessly, Gigi must have given up her love to him.

But Vanessa thought there was also good side about it. If Gigi still loved Travis, how distressing it

would be for her based on the fact that Travis had problems with his brain which may not be cured

forever.

“Gigi, I have been back to Alfred’s company and restart my work there. We’re good again, though I

don’t know how far we can get. But now I can help you now. I have no idea how Alfred becomes the

son of the Chow family in G City. Anyway, he is rich now, and I can ask him for help. Annie is also my

daughter. I can afford her medical fee, and you don’t have to work in the club anymore!”

“A few days later, I’ll ask Alfred to contact the doctors in the United States. When he finds a proper

hospital, I’ll send Annie to America for treatment. As for Ivan Simpson, I’ll try my best to persuade him

to conduct surgery for Annie. Now the Simpson family has doubts over the true killer of that car

accident… so Ivan Simpson might say yes to it.”

Georgia hesitated. She would feel guilty and sad if she quit the job and left Layla’s offer behind once

her situation improved a little.

But in addition, she was pregnant now.

Though she did not know how to face Robert, she was quite sure that she wouldn’t hurt her baby.

She wanted to protect and keep her baby though in such a difficult situation.

She had been anorexic all the time, and her reactions of pregnancy got worse since then.

She lost appetite for food, and everything she ate was vomited.

However, she had to eat in the hope of not affecting the baby in her belly.

Annie’s poor health condition was the deepest pain in her heart, and she never wanted it to happen

again on her second child because of her.

She would wear herself out if she did two jobs at the same time.

“Vanessa, you know that Layla helped me a lot. So I don’t want to rush it. On Layla’s words, I only need

to work in the club for two days a week and she doesn’t force me into prostitution. Well, it’s completely

up to me. I don’t want to leave there because my situation gets a little better. It will hurt Layla’s feelings.

But drinking is unavoidable in this job, and I can’t drink now, so I shall find a proper time to make it

clear to Layla.”

Vanessa met Layla once, and she also felt Layla was nice.

Vanessa kept silent for a while, and then she uttered.

“Maybe you’re right. Then that’s it. But Gigi, you have to put your safety on the first place.”

Georgia nodded.

The news that Vanessa and Alfred were good again reminded Georgia of the explosive news that

Anaya Mitchell and Rachel Scott were cousins. Georgia immediately told Vanessa about this.

Vanessa didn’t know Anaya Mitchell. It happened that Gigi’s colleague and Rachel Scott were cousins,

and the both of the two sisters hated them. She really felt shocked.

These days, Alfred had been very nice to Vanessa, and she spoke to Georgia.

“Alfred doesn’t want to tell me the truth that the cooperation between him and Rachel Scott is based on

lies or the opposite. But for now, I’m out of my hands to it. Alfred and I have got married. He has

arranged the big day on this weekend. Gigi, you must attend my wedding then, you’re my only family

and friend.”

Georgia nodded surely.

“Vanessa, how could I miss your wedding? I will go to S City to visit Annie in the hospital on Saturday,

and I will attend your wedding on Sunday.”

Vanessa instantly explained where Georgia got about.

“Gigi, I have sent people to look after Annie, and they can tell me her current situation at any time. So

you don’t have to worry about Annie.”

Georgia completely trusted her arrangement, and she asked Vanessa again.

“The wedding is in such a rush, there must be many preparations to be done. Do you need my

help?”
