Chapter 212 The Child Was Unintended
Giorgio had wanted to tell Anna that the child was just joking and not to take it seriously. Before he could speak, however, Charlie suddenly let go of Anna:
"Anna, what's wrong?"
When he held her, he could clearly feel her body go limp and stiffen up.
Looking at her again, her face was so pale that her lips were colorless, and she looked visibly distressed and in pain.
"Anna, did I get you sick? Do you have a fever too?"
The child's voice was filled with worry and urgency, almost identical to the way Anna sounded last night when she was panicked and flustered.
Giorgio felt an illusion they were mother and son, and he asked in a deep tone, "Are you feeling really uncomfortable?"
Anna clutched her stomach and didn't respond to Giorgio, but instead lifted her weak, feeble hand to rest on Charlie's little head, so faintly it was barely audible."
"It’s okay, it has nothing to do with you, just promise me you'll get home safely...
After she spoke, her dark eyes became hazy, her arm dropped, and she fainted.
"Anna! Anna!" Charlie cried out in panic, fearfully asking, "Daddy, what happened to Anna?"
Giorgio hadn't expected Anna to lose consciousness either. He looked at her pale complexion and said,
"She's fainted due to the emotional upheaval compounded by menstrual pain; we need to get her to the hospital quickly."
Does that mean any further delays could be dangerous?
Charlie stood up in a panic, looked outside with his little head tilted back, and shouted desperately:
"Is there anyone out there? Someone has fainted here; we urgently need to go to the hospital!"
"Quick, help! Please help us..."
He hadn't cried when he was in danger last night, nor when he was sick with a cold, but now his tears fell like raindrops in a sudden downpour as he was truly worried about Anna.
Giorgio's heart tightened along with Charlie's crying.
He had never been this unsettled before.
"There's some noise over here, come check it out." Just then, there was a sound from above.
At the cessation of Charlie's sobs, he perked his ears up, indeed hearing footsteps, and in the next second, two figures appeared from above.
He was overjoyed and yelled,
"Daddy, someone has found us! We are saved!"
"Please save us! Get us out of here!"
The two patrol officers hadn't expected to find people trapped in a pit; they swiftly called for an ambulance and alerted staff to initiate a rescue effort immediately.
Typically, such incidents would only make it onto local news and not stir up much commotion.
But some staff members and early arrival tourists recognized Giorgio and Anna, and the whole incident blew up.
"My God, that's Mr. Vittorio and Katherine!"
"They came here for a trip as a family of three!"
"It looks like something happened to Katherine!"
"I heard from the staff that they've been trapped down there all night."
"Who dug that hole? That's so malicious!"
Onlookers buzzed with speculation.
Giorgio paid no attention and carried Anna straight down the mountain to the ambulance waiting at the base.
From start to finish, his pace was brisk, his expression wrought with concern, the man who usually kept his emotions in check now showed no signs of composure.
Even Charlie wasn't on his mind.
Fortunately, the child was smart and equally worried. Following behind Giorgio, he hurried along with short legs pattering after him and climbed into the vehicle.
This scene was captured by netizens and went viral, topping the trending searches.

Every netizen exclaimed that Mr. Vittorio's concern for his wife was impressive! They hadn't expected the high-and-mighty Mr. Vittorio to show this side of himself!
At the same time, many netizens expressed their opinion: the wife is true love, the child was unintended.
Such significant news naturally shook many people.
At the Vittorio mansion, Viviana expressed her shock, "Why would they go to the snowy mountains and run into danger? That's terrifying."
Matteo was also surprised, "Weren't they still in the city yesterday? Mother, you rest at home, and I'll go to the hospital right away."
"Wait a second."
A voice unexpectedly interrupted.
Everyone turned to see Giuseppe in a suit coming down the stairs.
He said, "Grandmother, grandfather, it was Charlie's birthday yesterday. It's normal for Giorgio and Katherine to take Charlie out for fun, and the danger was unexpected. Giorgio is already very worried about Katherine. If we go there now, we will only cause more trouble for Giorgio.
In my opinion, we should let Giorgio accompany Katherine properly. After she recovers and comes back, we can talk then."
Matteo and Viviana listened and found the argument sensible, nodding in agreement:
"Alright, Giuseppe, please take more care of the company matters these days, so Giorgio can be with Katherine without worry."
"The public sentiment is still favorable. Giorgio is capable and loves his wife, which is good for the corporate image. Our family's election is no longer a concern."
With a smile, Giuseppe adjusted his glasses and left the Vittorio mansion.
Inside the car, the secretary said, "Young Master, rest assured, I have taken care of everything. There will be no suspicion cast upon us. Currently, everyone is also discussing Charlie and Mr. Vittorio.
By the way, from the videos online, Mr. Vittorio's attitude towards Anna is clearly different. I reckon that even if it isn't affection, he is certainly moved. Congratulations, Young Master, your goal has been achieved."
Giuseppe took the tablet and watched the video footage, his handsome smile deepening.
Indeed, besides being worried about Charlie, Giorgio had never cared so much for anyone else; even with Katherine and Grandma, he maintained his rationality and composure. Now, this look of concern between his brows, if not caring, then what was it?
"Very good, that's why I just made a case for Giorgio, preventing anyone from disturbing them. My nephew is quite concerned about Giorgio's love life, don't you think that's very kind?"
Secretary: "..." Kind, so kind it almost moves one to tears...
At the Stefanelli family villa.
In the bedroom, the latest news was playing on the large television screen.
【According to the latest information, Giorgio Vittorio, CEO of the Vittorio Group, went up to the mountains with his wife Katherine to celebrate their son Charlie’s birthday. An accident occurred, and they were trapped in the mountains overnight. Presently, Katherine is in a coma and has been sent to the nearest hospital.
The cause of the accident is still under investigation. Up next is a report on Mr. Vittorio’s itinerary on the mountain yesterday. Notably, the family of three made a snowman, and there was an additional little girl snowman. Could this mean they are expecting a second child?】
The anchor's voice was clear and resonant, echoing in the room with authority.
Carla frowned deeply: "Why is Anna so thoughtless? Celebrating the child's birthday in the city would have been fine. Why did she insist on going outside the city? If anything happens to Charlie and Giorgio, can she bear the responsibility?"
Davide also commented, "The key issue is Katherine’s current condition; now that she's in a coma, if she doesn't wake up, the Stefanelli Group will inevitably be affected. She’s such an irresponsible person."
"Am I the only one concerned about the little girl snowman?" Unexpectedly, Fabio spoke gravely, speculating, "Could she take advantage of the situation and get involved with Giorgio? Is she already pregnant and planning to completely replace Katherine?"
Each person had their own interpretation, none for Katherine's sake but for the Stefanelli family; all of them selfish and self-interested.
Isn’t Anna their biological daughter?
Now that Anna is the one injured and, in a coma, does nobody worry about her?
For the first time, Rizzo witnessed such a selfish family, and
Suddenly, the medical equipment in the room started beeping.
Katherine on the bed had shown a response!
