Chapter 20-21 (Revised) Sensational News and Bath Time
Noticing the icy gaze cast upon him, Tom dared not say a word and quickly began examining Anna.
Anna was feeling much better now and took the initiative to speak up. "When I fell, my chest hurt, and now my whole body feels weak. I can't move my arm, but other than that, I'm fine."
Tom replied, "Of course, falling from a 6-meter height, you're lucky to be alive."
Anna felt embarrassed. "I... at that moment, I was worried about Charlie and didn't think much about myself."
At that time, her mind was filled with concern for Charlie. It must be a mother's instinct.
Tom couldn't help but admire her genuinely.
Giorgio stared at Anna, his gaze unusually deep and complex.
Several minutes later, Tom finished examining Anna and said, "Fortunately, you fell onto the air cushion, so there's nothing major. Your arm is fractured, but with treatment, it will heal."
Upon hearing this, the furrowed eyebrows on Giorgio's face gradually relaxed.
At this moment, the manager of the mall finally had the courage to step forward. "I'm sorry, I'm so sorry. We apologize for this accident. We will fully cover the medical expenses for this young lady and the child, and we will also strengthen facility repairs."
His apology was sincere.
However, Giorgio's expression remained cold and unyielding as he parted his lips. "No need. There's no need for this mall to continue operating. Also, the lady who caused the accident will turn herself in."
The manager nodded readily. Anyone who knew how things worked in Crownhaven knew how dangerous it was to piss Giorgio off.
Leaving behind these words, he carried his child and left, walking away with a towering figure that exuded an undeniable aura of power.
The entire mall trembled in fear.
How terrifying.
In less than half an hour, the "Mother and Child Fall from Building" incident at Galaxy Square became a popular news topic.
Someone recognized Giorgio and 'Katherine', resulting in an even greater uproar.
#Katherine Saves Her Child
#Charlie Vittorio Falls from Building
The news articles described the scene in vivid detail and included heart-pounding high-resolution videos.
Netizens exploded with comments:
【Oh my, that was so thrilling!】
【That's the famous music producer Katherine! How kind-hearted!】
【No wonder she's worthy of Mr. Vittorio!】
【In love, in love.】
The Vittorios, upon seeing this news, were also filled with astonishment.
"How could something like this happen? So dangerous."
"Katherine has always been indifferent to Charlie on a daily basis, busy with work and rarely spending time with him. But in a critical moment, she showed such greatness... impressive!"
"This daughter-in-law, I've approved of her!"
In a completely different setting, a dark room, Katherine had been held captive for two whole days. When she woke up, her hands and feet were bound with ropes, and her mouth was gagged with cloth. That ugly face, Jack, had even drugged her, leaving her completely weak and unable to resist.
During these two days, she had only experienced cruelty and despair, causing her unbelievable pain.
From the television outside, voices could be heard saying, "Giorgio went shopping with his wife and child when a sudden accident occurred. His wife risked everything to save their son."
Giorgio? Giorgio!
Katherine went crazy, struggling towards the door, trying to look through the crack to see the news report outside. Then, she completely broke down!
That wasn't her! It wasn't her!
Damn Anna! She had promised not to appear in front of Giorgio, so why was she at the shopping mall with him, even bringing their child along?
She wouldn't let her get away with this!
"Uh... uh!" Let her out, she wanted to go out and tear that bitch apart!
Jack opened the door and walked in. "What are you shouting for? Seems like you still have some strength left."
"Uh, no!"
Seine International.
Charlie had been scared since the accident, staying silent the whole night and refusing to leave Anna's side.
In the end, it was Tom who was worried about Charlie's condition. After a thousand attempts to reassure him and swearing that Anna was fine, Charlie finally agreed to go back to the room with Giorgio. Giorgio was bewildered at how quickly the child had taken to Anna. He had never even shown this affection for his own mother.
Giorgio took him back to the room, bathed him, and put him to sleep. Once he was peacefully asleep, the whole room fell silent, but Giorgio's own mind couldn't find peace.
Upon their first encounter, Anna had scolded him, called him blind and sharp-tongued, rude and impolite. The second time they met, she was in the arms of an older man, showing no self-respect. The third time, she had intruded into the villa once again, this time as Katherine.
In his impression, she had a bad personality, poor conduct, and seemed to have ulterior motives in everything she did.
But today, he had witnessed her boldly and selflessly throwing herself forward to protect Charlie, holding him tightly in her arms. If not for her, Charlie might not have been unscathed. Giorgio shuddered to think what could have happened. Furthermore, she didn't even consider her own safety and immediately expressed concern for Charlie.
Her actions were brave, decisive, and resolute. It seemed that she wasn't scheming and deep, but rather a simple, kind-hearted girl.
Had he misunderstood her?
"Ring, ring, ring..."
A sudden, jarring ringtone broke his train of thought.
Giorgio, worried about waking up his son, took out the phone and realized that it was Anna's phone, which he had temporarily held onto after her fall.
At this moment, the wide screen of the phone astonishingly displayed the words, "Kisses Baby" as the caller.
Was that her note for a man? So intimate? So cheesy?
Giorgio's eyebrows slightly furrowed as he stared at the screen for a full three seconds before silencing the phone. He quietly got up, holding the phone, and went to Anna's room.
Anna's arm was in a cast, and she was showering in the bathroom when she heard the knocking on the door, causing her to frown.
Who would be knocking at this late hour? Could it be that Charlie wasn't at ease and came to keep her company?
She quickly grabbed a nearby towel to wrap herself in and rushed out.
"Click." The door opened.
Surprisingly, there stood Giorgio outside!
He was as aloof and noble as ever, dressed in a suit and leather shoes. Even just standing there, he exuded a godlike presence. Why was he so dressed up at home?
His voice didn't reveal any emotions. "A man is calling you."
Huh? A man?
Anna's curiosity was piqued, and she took the phone, opening the call log. When she saw the label 'Kisses Baby' on top, she suddenly realized.
So, it was Penny's call, and he had misunderstood.
Thank goodness for the misunderstanding! Otherwise, if he had found out about Penny, it would have been over!
"Thank you, thank you. It's getting late, so you should go rest." Anna tried to hide her uneasiness as she quickly put away her phone.
Giorgio's eyebrows tightened.
Was that it? No explanation? And it really was a call from a man? And her urging him to leave, was she annoyed that he was interfering with her phone call?
Suddenly, an inexplicable pang of sourness went through Giorgio's heart. But just as quickly, he realized why should he care about how she labeled men in her phone or whether she was having long conversations with them? Why should he care at all?
With a cold snort, he turned around, ready to leave.
Anna also planned on closing the door and going inside to return Penny's call.
However, due to her sudden movement, the towel that she hadn't secured properly fell instantaneously.
It fell to the ground with such speed she didn't even realise it for a second.
Caught completely off guard, she stood there, completely exposed under the brightness of the lights.
Giorgio heard the sound, subconsciously turned his head, and then... he saw it.
Under the lights, the graceful and youthful figure of the naked girl.
