Chapter 204 Don't Worry, I Won't Touch You
Giuseppe delicately spun his slender fingers.
After a full five seconds, he said, "Someone who is aware of this incident and has access to surveillance footage."
The secretary contemplated for a moment, then instantly grasped the situation. "Oh, it's her! What does the young master plan to do?"
Giuseppe took out a lighter and lit a cigarette, the smoke curling around him.
"I have my ways. For the time being, let's release that previous video."
In just one short hour, the lawyer's letter posted by Giorgio on Twitter, along with the video uploaded by Giuseppe, dominated the trending topics.
In the hospital room, Little Tony exclaimed, "Mr. Vittorio, Mr. Vittorio has also posted a video to clarify! You should take a look."
A large mobile phone screen was brought close to their eyes, playing the video.
Giuseppe was shown holding Anna's hand as they walked to a bench in the garden, his voice full of reassurance. "Don't worry, I've called a friend who is a doctor. He can help you with your condition."
Anna, lying in his embrace, had a sweaty face and tightly pursed lips.
"I can't bear it. Mr. Vittorio, someone must be plotting against me. There might even be surveillance right now. Please put me in the flower pond and leave. I don't want to attract more trouble and be misunderstood."
Just as she finished speaking, her eyebrows furrowed even tighter, and she pushed Giuseppe away, stumbling towards the flower pond.
With a "plop," her high heels sunk into the mud, and she fell into the bushes.
"Katherine." Giuseppe quickly approached and helped her up.
"Don't touch me, stay away." Anna reacted vehemently and pushed Giuseppe down once more.
Giuseppe fell into the nearby foliage, leaves scattering all around him. It appeared to be painful.
Fortunately, at that moment, the sound of footsteps echoed—a man in a suit, carrying a medical case, appeared in the frame.
"Mr. Vittorio, I'm here."
He ran over and crouched down, opening the medical box. When he saw the disheveled clothes and beautiful face of the woman, he looked at Giuseppe and said, “Mr. Vittorio, it turns out to be Mrs. Vittorio. She's even more beautiful up close than from a distance. In such a good opportunity, why not take advantage of it? It wouldn't be illegal if it's consensual” His tone was forced, and his eyes were full of lust.
Giuseppe's usually gentle and refined face immediately darkened, and he kicked the man away, saying, “Get lost!”
“Ah, yes, yes...” The man clutched his chest and ran away quickly.
Giuseppe suppressed his anger and quickly crouched down, taking out the medicine from the medical box. He looked at Anna and said, “Don't be afraid, I won't harm you.”
Then, he tried reached out and took her arm.
Initially apprehensive, Anna let her guard down, but she let down her guard when she saw his eyes and unprejudiced demeanor.
Giuseppe quickly inserted the needle into her vein, administrated in the medicine, and then withdrew it. He searched for more medication in the medical box and said, “I didn't see any other medicine, so take this calming one first to relieve the symptoms.”
“Okay, thank you,” Anna replied, taking the medicine, and swallowing it.
“Someone's coming, it must be Giorgio and the others. Let's go,” Giuseppe said as he stood up, walked over, and turned off the video on his phone.
The video footage wasn't of highest quality, but it was clear enough to see everything that happened.
Internet users erupted with comments:
[Oh my god, someone actually orchestrated all of this!]
[The intrigue in noble families run deep; I'm going back to the countryside.]
[Am I the only one who thinks Mr. Vittorio is incredibly handsome?!]
[Count me in too! Without Mr. Vittorio, I wouldn't be interested in this couple.]
[Mr. Vittorio is so kind; I hereby announce that I have a new husband!]
[The truth may come late, but it never fails to appear.]
[I'm waiting for the real culprit and that shady doctor.]
[We need to investigate!]
After watching the video and reading the hot comments, Giorgio's deep black eyes revealed a hidden and mysterious depth. He had already deduced that nothing could have happened between Anna and Giuseppe. The current video confirmed his thoughts, but Anna appeared even stronger than he had expected.
Why hadn’t Giuseppe shown the video that night, even though he had it in his possession?
Anna was in the corridor when she also saw the video Giuseppe sent.
This was excellent news! The scandalous story was perfectly resolved. Tomorrow, she would spend the remainder of Charlie's birthday with him, and Katherine was bound to wake up. She would successfully escape from this accidental plot.
“Mr. Vittorio, thank you.” She sent this text, a genuine expression of gratitude that had nothing to do with Katherine.
Giuseppe quickly replied, “Don't worry, I should have shown it that night, but I deduced that those conspiring against you might have other intentions. I decided to keep it until today. Let’s not dwell on it.”
“Of course, thank you very much.”
After sending her message, Anna put away her phone and returned to the ward, feeling relieved.
She saw Giorgio holding a tray in his hands.
“Giorgio, you’ve probably seen the news too,” she pouted, not uttering a word and took the lunchbox from the table to wash it in the small kitchen inside.
Giorgio wondered to himself, “What kind of expression was that? What kind of attitude?”
"Mr. Vittorio, do you need anything else?" If not, I will leave.”
After all, he didn't want to be implicated innocently anytime, anywhere!
Giorgio hummed coldly and asked, "How did the task I assigned you last night go?"
Little Tony thought of that and immediately said, "It's done. Colombo's secretary is conducting surveillance investigations. I framed the incident of Mrs. Katherine falling into the water and losing part of her memory. I even created real medical records. They believed it and there won't be any traces to find."
"That's good. You go handle the company's documents. Oh, and free up my time tomorrow." Giorgio gave his casual instructions.
Little Tony understood that tomorrow is Charlie's birthday. After receiving the order, he left the ward.
Anna finished washing the lunchbox and emerged, finding only Giorgio alone in the ward. She walked over and took her seat, saying, "Um, I need to prepare a birthday gift for Charlie this afternoon. I'll be out for a while."
"Alright." His tone was indifferent, and his attitude was as usual.
Is that all? Wasn’t he suppose to apologize to her?
Anna looked directly at him with her clear and disappointed eyes.
Giorgio noticed her gaze, raised his eyes, and looked at her with his exceptionally handsome and composed eyes. He asked, "Anything else?"
Forget it, she was overthinking. How could someone like him apologize? How could he know how discomfort she felt when she was misunderstood and forced to apologize?
"Never mind." Anna left, leaving behind just those two words.
Giorgio frowned once more.
She didn’t looked right ever since she entered the ward. What happened?
A pain in his stomach struck, but he didn't dwell on it. He called Tom on his phone and asked him to come over.
Outside.
Wearing a mask, Anna walked along the green path feeling suffocated.
She thought that Giorgio would at least say address their misunderstanding that night if he saw the video, but he treated it lightly, as though it was to be expected. Where was the guilt?
It's better that he didn't let her apologize to him!
Taking a deep breath, she opened the map on her phone and searched for nearby malls, deciding to walk there directly.
Tomorrow is Charlie's birthday, and she plans to buy yarn to knit a scarf for him.
And Penny, it will be her first birthday without mommy. How should she comfort her?
"Miss Stefanelli."
Unexpectedly, a voice sounded in the air.
Anna turned her head and saw a discreet and luxurious car parked by the roadside. The window rolled down, revealing a handsome and elegant face.
She furrowed her eyebrows. What is he doing here?
