Chapter 112 Anna, I Love You.
That is–
She disappeared from the hospital without telling Simon the reason. He must be worried sick, unable to find her at the hospital.
Quickly turning on her phone, which had the sound turned off, she saw 20 missed calls and ten messages from him!
'Anna, how did you manage to get discharged?'
'Sorry, I was busy when you called, didn't hear it.'
'Where are you?'
'Reply, I'm very worried.'
A series of messages filled with concern and anxiety.
Anna knew that he was good to her, but unfortunately, such things happened. She pursed her lips and replied, ‘Rest assured, I'm fine. I haven't been discharged yet, but something happened, and Katherine helped me change doctors for Penny. Simon, you don't need to worry about Penny's matters anymore. I'll also be staying in Crownhaven for a while. You can go back and focus on your own things. Don't worry about me.'
One minute later, the message was sent.
"Ding dong, ding dong," the phone rang.
Anna looked at Simon's incoming call and hesitated, unsure whether to answer.
In the end, fearing his worries, she decided to answer it. "Simon."
Every time Giorgio heard her talking to Simon on the phone, he would feel unhappy.
He tightened his grip on the steering wheel, stepped on the accelerator, and sped up.
Simon's voice came through, "Anna? Did you see something? Mirlinda and I are not what you think. Where are you? Let's talk."
"I don't want us to end like this," he, who was high and mighty, let go of his pride and spoke sincerely.
Anna felt uneasy in her heart. She didn't blame him, only herself.
"Simon, I'll come find you. I did see it, but I know it's not your fault with Mirlinda. I'm not angry."
Giorgio sneered.
Simon on the other end furrowed his brows. "Anna... I'm sorry. Let's meet."
Anna took a deep breath and said, "Simon, with Katherine's help, I'm doing well now. I don't want to be a burden to you, nor do I want to make it difficult for you to choose between your father and Mirlinda because of me. Go back to Vista Heights, live freely like before. When Penny's illness is cured, I'll come back to Vista Heights and find you."
She was serious and determined.
Simon wanted to tell her that she had never been a burden to him, but rather, she had brought sunshine into his calm life.
However, sensing her emotional state and self-blame, he replied, "Alright, the Vista Heights project is indeed pressing. I'll go back to handle it. Take care of yourself and call me if you need anything, alright?"
"Alright."
"And one more thing, me going back doesn't mean we're breaking up. I'll handle things with Mirlinda, and when you come back, okay?"
"Okay..."
"Well, I'll hang up now, Anna. I love you."
These words were so heavy yet gentle.
It was also the first time someone had said "I love you" to her.
Anna didn't understand what made her likable, but she knew that she didn't deserve his affection. She needed to become better.
"Alright, take good care of yourself. Goodbye."
The call ended.
Giorgio, holding the steering wheel, had visible veins popping up on his hand, making his knuckles turn white.
When she answered Simon's confession with a simple "okay," did it mean she loved him too?
Dammit!
"Are you sure you love Simon?" Anna suddenly heard him ask.
She felt that Simon was good to her and Penny, and she liked him. It was love!
"Well, he is the best man I've ever met since growing up," she said.
As the words fell, the man's face suddenly grew cold.
Anna didn't see it and continued, "Mr. Vittorio, please ask Little Tony to give me the information you mentioned yesterday as soon as possible, and collect as much work-related information as possible. I want to seize this opportunity to do something, be worthy of Simon, and make the old Mr. Dalio like me."
Giorgio remained silent.
Not only does she like Simon, but she also wants to please Simon's father!
He let out a sneer, "Your love seems quite cheap." After waiting for Antonio for years, she easily falls in love with someone else. How can that not be cheap?
Anna clenched her teeth.
What did she do to offend him again? Why does he start mocking her again?
Twenty minutes later.
The car stopped at the Vittorio mansion.
It was a classic retro building that looked like a palace from a distance, very luxurious.
In Crownhaven, where every inch of land is valuable, having such a large private mansion demonstrates extraordinary status and power.
Anna took a deep breath, preparing to go in.
Giorgio's tall figure stood in front of her, his voice low, "Put away your previous thoughts. What you need to please now are my parents."
It was both a reminder and a warning.
'Why did he deliberately stand in front of me to say that?'
His tall figure made her feel cramped!
"Well, got it," she said, taking a step forward.
He grabbed her wrist.
"Mr. Vittorio, what's wrong again?"
Giorgio looked at her cold and impatient face and said, "Do you think in your current state, we look like newlyweds? Anna, I hope you understand. You barged into the wedding, and if you expose anything, I won't be able to protect you."
Anna naturally knew the consequences. It wasn't just about becoming a suspect; she would also face public scrutiny and be unable to establish herself in society.
"So, why did you ask me to pretend back then?"
There was still a chance for an explanation back then, but now there's no way out.
Giorgio chuckled.
Mocking her innocence and naivety, he said, "Do you think that by wearing a wedding dress, wearing makeup, and standing on stage, anyone would believe you?"
"And even if they do believe you, do you think the Stefanelli family and the Vittorio family will let you off the hook?"
No! Neither family would tolerate any negative news.
Anna's face grew pale little by little. "So, back then, you were saving me?"
Yes, he had planned to cause chaos and escape the wedding with serious injuries.
But her appearance would attract attention, and even if an accident occurred, people would still hold onto her, and she might even be mistaken as the one arranging the hitman, thus terminating the plan.
He naturally wouldn't tell her any of this.
"Just to be clear, I hope you can leave without any harm." And he, in his capacity, must divorce Katherine once in order to resolve this matter once and for all.
Leaving those words behind, he extended his arm, gesturing for her to hold onto it.
For some reason, Anna saw a deep intensity in his eyes, a shade of ink that she couldn't understand.
He was actually worried about her, hoping that she would leave unscathed.
A sudden uneasiness arose in her heart. She pursed her lips, averted her gaze, and held onto his arm, saying, "I will do my best."
Giorgio's serious and cold gaze finally faded away as he reminded her, "Remember, don't trust anyone's words except for Grandma and my father. Also, try to stay away from anyone else."
Nervousness filled Anna's heart as she tightly held onto him. "I won't let go of you and will stay by your side. That way, nothing will go wrong."
With those words, she applied more pressure with her hands, pressing her whole body against him.
Giorgio was amused by her obedience.
Finally, had he managed to intimidate her?
His lips curved slightly as he led her into the Vittorio mansion.
However, there was an indescribable heaviness in his heart.
Because...
