Chapter 201 Sleeping by My Side
This matter was no joke; it was highly relevant and had the potential to ruin lives.
Anna was genuinely worried, afraid, and nervous at the moment. However, Giorgio's expression remained composed. He was calm and collected, but his brows furrowed deeply,"Let go."
Even in this critical situation, he was still harsh with her!
Anna decisively shook her head "No, don't think I don't know that you've already prepared a plan to throw me under the bus as a scapegoat. I won't easily let go. If you don't help me, I will... I will..."
She couldn't come up with the right words to threaten him. After all, compared to his status and position, she was completely insignificant. What should she do? Was she really going to be helpless and pushed out to bear the consequences alone? Would she become the scapegoat?
The woman's small face looked helpless and pitiful under the harsh light. Giorgio stared at her coldly and sneered,"If you squeeze any harder, all your blood will flow out."
As he spoke, Anna suddenly realized that she had been tightly holding his hand, which was connected to an IV tube. A lot of blood had already flowed out from the tube.
"Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't notice because I was nervous. I'll call the doctor right away," she exclaimed as she quickly ran out.
Before long, the doctor arrived and quickly attended to Giorgio. After finishing, he glanced at the two of them with a hint of affection.
"Mr. Vittorio, Mrs. Vittorio, it's a special time right now. You shouldn't exert yourselves and need to rest. Cough..." Blushing, he awkwardly left, leaving the unsaid implications hanging in the air.
Anna was left feeling awkward and apologetic, standing by the bed.
Giorgio, seemingly unfazed, took out his phone and called Little Tony.
"Somebody is monitoring and investigating from behind. They might already know about Katherine's fake documents. Resolve it as soon as possible."
With just a casual command, it inexplicably gave a sense of security, as if everything would be fine with him around.
Anna looked up at him, her eyes filled with indescribable emotions.
Just earlier, she had thought he was indifferent and wouldn't help, but it turned out to be a misunderstanding.
She said,"Thank you. Would you like some fruit? I can go buy it for you. Or perhaps you'd like to hear a story? I can tell you one."
Anna displayed her innocent side to the fullest, reminiscent of a grateful child. Giorgio squinted his deep, alluring eyes and lowered his voice,"Do you think I'm a child? If you want to show gratitude, it should be in a way fitting for a man."
“In a way fitting for a man...” Anna thought, her cheeks turning red, and she instinctively blurted out, "Didn't you say you weren't interested in me?"
Her voice carried a hint of complaint, despite her small voice. Giorgio extended his free left hand, pulling her into his embrace, and held her delicate face,"Are you suggesting that I should be interested? Hmm?"
His voice was low and seductive, making Anna's already blushing face turn even redder like an apple. She shook her head desperately and said,"No! That's not what I meant!"
"What did you mean then?" Giorgio pressed on; his exceptionally handsome face was captivating under the light.
Anna struggled to find an explanation? No matter how she explained, it would be embarrassing. And why did he suddenly bring up this topic out of nowhere?
She decided to change the topic,"Let go; you might hurt your wound and the IV needle later."
Giorgio looked at her for a few seconds, noticing the struggle and resistance in her eyes, and then he loosened his arm, "Don't worry. Listen to me obediently and don't provoke me, and I'll protect you."
Listen obediently? Listen to what? Did he want her to take the initiative or cooperate with him?
Anna didn't dare to think about this topic,"I'll contact Rizzo and ask about Katherine's situation."
She walked out to the balcony, maintaining a distance from him. “They say men think with the lower half of their body, driven by lust. The saying was true indeed. Otherwise, why would he say he's not interested before and then tonight he wants her to thank him in that way?" Anna thought.
Rizzo's sleepy voice came through on the phone, snapping Anna back to reality. Suddenly realizing that it was past midnight and apologized,"I'm sorry, I'm just a bit anxious. I wanted to know if Katherine's condition has improved. I didn't pay attention to the time before calling."
Rizzo reassured her,“It's alright. Katherine's condition has noticeably improved these past couple of days. Her hand occasionally moves, showing clear signs of consciousness. As expected, she will wake up in these next few days, we just need a catalyst, and I'm thinking of a way."
These next few days? That's great!
Thinking of something, Anna suggested,"How about having Giorgio go and talk to her or do something? Last time in the room, when he spoke to her and then Katherine had a clear reaction, didn't she?"
The last sentence was spoken quietly, awkwardly.
Rizzo frowned,"Huh? What happened last time? Why don't I know?"
Anna clarified,"I mean, last time in her room, he kissed or hugged Katherine, didn't her heart rate increase, and you went to rescue her?" Anna vividly remembered the servants' gossip in the courtyard that afternoon.
How strange, how does she remember it so clearly?
Rizzo realized,"Oh, you're talking about that. It wasn't a kiss or a hug, just some words Mr. Vittorio said, causing a slight emotional fluctuation but no noticeable improvement."
What? Just words? So, the rumors were unreliable after all.
Anna was a little surprised and got back on topic,"Then what should we do? Should I donate more blood to her?"
Rizzo advised against it,"That won't work. You have already donated a lot of blood, and we can't use your blood anymore. Don't worry, I will try my best to find a solution. Of course, it would be great if Mr. Vittorio could come over too."
"Alright, I'll talk to him."
Anna hung up the phone and quickly walked back to the ward.
"Rizzo said Katherine will wake up in these next few days, we just need a catalyst. That's great! Once you feel a little better, go and accompany her. Maybe she'll wake up if she's happy."
She spoke with excitement and joy, as if the one about to wake up was her, showing no interest in being Mrs. Vittorio.
Giorgio's face momentarily turned cold for a moment, and he brushed it off, saying,"I'm tired. I'll turn off the lights and go to sleep."
Anna was puzzled by his reaction. She expected him to be happy about Katherine’s recovery.
She didn't dare to ask further and walked over to turn off the lights, tucking him in, before sitting on the edge of the bed and searching on her phone.
[How to wake up a vegetative patient who has regained consciousness?]
Some internet users said,“Watch melodramatic TV dramas at 8 PM, usually with the male lead shedding tears.”
There are also netizens who say,"No, it's the Prince's kiss."
Anna continued to search, hoping to find professional knowledge, but she just kept finding either hospital advertisements or a bunch of incomprehensible things.
She decisively closed Baidu and leaned back in her chair, deep in thought.
If Katherine wakes up in these two days and everything is revealed, then even if the people behind it really find out something through their investigation, there won't be much they can do, right?
"How long do you plan to sit there?" Unexpectedly, a man's low and cold voice broke the silence.
Anna turned her gaze toward him,"All night? Didn't you ask me to stay and take care of you?"
He did ask her to stay, but he didn't ask her to sit there. Giorgio lifted his lip and said,"Since you are so obedient, come up and sleep next to me."
