Chapter 431

Miranda felt sweet inside and only caught the main point of Jason’s words.

Jason was worried about her because she was being scolded.

And Jason had also promised that from now on, when she came across people and events she couldn’t handle, she could go to him directly. Didn’t that mean he was including her in his range of protection?

Jason was treating her more and more like part of his own people now. Miranda hugged him excitedly and gave him a big kiss.

Jason had wanted to continue lecturing his fiancé, but the kisses just wouldn’t stop.

She was latched onto him like a bear and doing all sorts of things to him.

In the end, he could only surrender and let her do whatever she wanted.

He recalled what other businessmen said around him usually. Saying that he had a proper wife now who controlled his life, and outsiders couldn’t pique his interest anymore.

That’s right, ever since Miranda had come clean and tangled up with up, nobody else had approached, and he’d just succumbed to this woman and let her have her way.

Looked like the marriage really could go forward.

In the end, the pair’s car stopped before the hospital, and only then did they let go of each other.

At the penthouse of the hospital, meanwhile, Robert and Ivan stood face to face.

“Robert, say what you just said again. Tell me all the details. I feel like I’m not fully understanding.”

“This morning, when I got up to deal with the traitor in the bodyguards’ ranks and came back, I uncontrollable spat out a mouthful of blood, and then immense pain just wracked my body. I barely had the strength to move my arms and legs. I only returned to normal after almost a quarter of an hour.

Is my body getting worse?”

Back then, when his body had acted up, Georgia’s phone call had just come in, but Robert didn’t have the strength to take it at all.

That was why he’d missed the call.

If it hadn’t been for Kayden, Robert would have checked at the hospital right away.

But now, he didn’t dare go to any place so easily for fear that the people who had their eyes on him would steal the data.

He didn’t want Georgia to know about this either.

Honestly, after the pain, he felt fine.

As if the pain had never happened in the first place – but he couldn’t treat it like it hadn’t happened.

Thinking about it, Robert finally decided to tell Ivan about it and let him deal with it for him.

Georgia was in hospital now and his mother wasn’t awake. He had to shoulder this on his own.

“Robert, I’m a surgeon. I can’t make any conclusions on your situation. But you have to pay attention to your body. Tell me if there’s anything off. I’m going to record your whole status, wait for the check’s results to come out, the judge from your usual state where the issue is. You can’t let your guard down on this.”

Robert could only nod, while Ivan continued.

“I’d been planning to go overseas after a couple days, but like you said, I haven’t seen that friend of mine for several years and I’m not by his side all the time. Nobody knows if there could be other problems with him in secret. When we’ve made sure, we’ll go find him.

“Georgia needs to stay in the hospital for several days anyway, so we’ll have to delay the check for a few days as well. But I’ve already bought a lot of advanced instruments and sensors from the black market. If we can’t leak your condition, we’ll buy the things we need back ourselves and run the check. I’ll investigate and make sure what sort of equipment these people use, then get a few experts over to run the check. Relying on people all the time leaves them open to be bought out. Better to buy it up ourselves. Georgia should get the hang of it after studying it for a while.”

“Don’t tell Georgia about today. I didn’t tell her when she woke up and my condition hasn’t worsened, so I don’t want her to worry.”

As Robert said that, Ivan nodded.

Concerned, he asked about something else.

“What about Aunt Maisie? They’re telling the truth on the internet, aren’t they? Aunt Maisie is threatening you with her own life to separate from Georgia? That’s difficult. You can’t leave Aunt Maisie out to dry, but it’s not realistic to separate you from Georgia. How are you planning on dealing with it after Aunt Maisie wakes up.”

Robert spoke up about the contents of his father’s letter.

After that, Ivan showed a befuddled expression.

“That’s one way. If it works, I actually think it’s a good solution. But that’s just like Jasper’s surgery. He wasn’t willing, but his parents forced him to have the operation and live on. He’s calmed down now, but he was mad back then. If you let Aunt Maisie restart her life without every remembering those painful memories, it might be a good thing. But if she recalled those memories later on, she might get even sadder and angrier. I can’t tell you what to do on this, but it is a solution. What do you think, Robert?”

“I don’t have my father’s determination, and I really can’t say what I think my decision should be. When my mother wakes up, I’ll see how her situation is.”

To be honest, Ivan felt like his Uncle Aidan’s solution was a pretty great one.

Only, doing something like this took the resolution to bear the consequences and enough mental responsibility.

Looking at it from the other side, forcing someone to do something they weren’t willing to do wouldn’t have that person feeling good about it even if the results were good.

Like parents urging their kids to take their studies seriously and not step off the beaten trail. Not every child could achieve that.

In fact, a lot of children became rebellious. There wasn’t a logic necessary to the world.

Still, Ivan was most worried about Robert’s body.

Back then, the checkup had showed Robert’s body to be in a balanced state. Ivan had seen that report too.

But today, Robert had spat blood, which showed that his body was acting up.

That was troubling. Right now, he could only bemoan why he’d studied surgery back then. If he’d gone for internal medicine or devoted himself to biological research like Georgia, maybe he’d understand what was happening to Robert’s body.

The brothers spoke for a while longer, and they returned downstairs.

Just in time for Robert to receive a call from Jason.

Jason had already come to the hospital with Miranda, ready to visit Georgia.

He asked the bodyguards about it but Georgia still wasn’t awake.

Robert’s reply was helpless.

“Take Miss Bradley to meet Jasper, then. He’s alone and bored right now and Georgia is asleep. I think she’ll wake up after a while, though.”

As Robert said that, the people stationed next to his mother gave him a call.

Hearing that she’d waken up, Robert hurried to her room.

The moment he entered, he saw her shrieking in a fit of madness.

“Aidan, where’s Aidan? What’s he doing shutting me inside a hospital? Where’s my daughter? Why isn’t my daughter coming to see me?”

Maisie spewed those deranged words, saw Robert come in, jolted, then pointed at Robert and started yelling.

“You’ve got some nerve coming back to see me, Aidan Simpson, when you had a side slut on the side and tried to divorce me! I’m telling you, you’ll never be rid of me as long as you live! You’re not allowed to leave me!”

Seemed like his mother hadn’t, in fact, woken up, but was once again in her confused state.

This time, she was mistaking him for his own father. Robert didn’t know what to say.

His mother yelled at him for a while, then started sobbing in pain.

“Why did your father leave us, Robert? Did he just leave? Go out, please, beg him not to go. I bore a son and daughter for him. How could he be so cruel? Go ask him back. Beg for him, plead to him, you’re his son, he always liked you, beg him not to go...”

Now her memory had gone back to the past. Robert sighed.

“Mom, Dad’s dead. Don’t drown in your sorrows anymore. He’s left this world never to return. He’ll never be able to make up for what he owes you as long as you live. You’ve still got a long life ahead of you. Don’t obsess over Dad anymore. He’ll only hurt you.”

As Robert said that, Maisie’s dazed eyes slowly focused.

She covered her mouth and cried silently.

After a long while, she suddenly raised her head to Robert.

“I just went mad again, didn’t I?

“What point is there to me living on like this? I might as well just die. How could you just let these people bring me back? So long as I’m here, I’m in your way and Georgia’s way. If I died, wouldn’t you be able to be with her happily ever after?”

“Don’t think about those things anymore, Mom. Get some rest.”

Daddy, Mommy had been in Prison Chapter 430 Jason And Miranda The Unexpected Marriage Chapter 251 What's The Use Of You Have I Told You Lately Chapter 147 It must Feel Good to Have Him Drive Me to Work At that, Robert turned around and left the room.

He’d finally made his decision this time. Even if she didn’t care about Georgia, his mother would never be free of the pain his father had wrought on her.

It might be the best thing to forget it all. From what his father said, her madness might even be cured.

He couldn’t just stand by and watch his live the rest of her life as a madwoman lost in grief forever.

After leaving the room, Ivan relayed to him that Georgia had woken up as well.

Robert was getting ready to go to her room when he received a call from his secretary.

“Sir, we’ve been monitoring the situation on the internet and we’ve found evidence of the person behind the online drama.”
