Chapter 52 So You Do Care About Me
An hour later, Anna took Penny for a full-body examination and, holding the report, arrived at the police station accompanied by Giorgio.
When the police officer heard about the situation, he became angry, "Little one, whether it's your mommy or the police, we will protect you right away. We specialize in catching bad people, so you can ask for help from us for anything, okay?"
Penny asked, "Like Superman?"
Her adorable demeanor made the police officer smile, "Yes, just like Superman."
As he said that, he tousled Penny's hair and looked at Anna, "Miss, may I know which kindergarten she attends?"
Anna answered truthfully, "Crowhaven Primary."
Upon hearing that name, the staff's expressions changed slightly. Crownhaven Primary? The one owned by that big shot, it might be difficult to handle, right?
Seeing that expression, Anna knew that this matter was troublesome. After all, she had specifically spent money to send Penny there, considering the authority of the school as a nationwide chain.
But the more difficult it became, the less she could give in.
Anna smiled, "The police are sacred professionals, they will definitely protect you. I have also posted this matter on platforms like Facebook or Instagram, I believe there are more righteous people paying attention to this matter, protecting every bullied child, understand?"
Penny seemed to understand vaguely, but her mommy's gaze gave her a strong sense of security. She nodded, "Okay, Penny knows, thank you."
The staff smiled awkwardly.
The power of the internet is formidable now. If they don't handle this well, their work will be affected. Looking at Penny, such a young child, experiencing so much abuse, it really isn't something a human would do. In the end, he made up his mind:
"No need to thank us, this is what we should do. We will definitely bring those who abuse children to justice!"
"Thank you!"
Outside in the corridor, Giorgio sat discreetly along the hallway, observing Anna's every move.
The words she just spoke seemed like praise, but in reality, weren't they a threat and a reminder?
And she's only 25 years old, Penny isn't even her biological daughter, yet she takes such responsibility. She truly deserves the title of kind, responsible, intelligent, and courageous.
She's different from other girls, she's a special girl.
Giorgio was always taken aback by how motherly Anna was. With Charlie and with Penny. Ho could twin sisters be so different?
Giorgio couldn't help but marvel at the striking contrast between twin sisters Anna and Katherine. Anna's gentle and sweet nature was like a beacon of warmth that could brighten anyone's day. Her responsible and motherly instincts seemed to come naturally to her, as she nurtured not just her own child but also extended her care to those around her. Giorgio admired how effortlessly she spread kindness and positivity, making everyone feel valued and loved in her presence. Her maternal instincts were a source of comfort to those who sought her support, and her unwavering sense of responsibility was an inspiration to all. It was evident that Anna's heart overflowed with love and compassion.
On the other hand, Katherine's arrogance and selfishness cast a shadow over her relationship with her own son. Giorgio couldn't understand how someone could be so indifferent to their child's well-being. Katherine seemed more focused on her own desires and ambitions, with little regard for the emotional needs of her son. It pained Giorgio to see the boy yearning for his mother's affection, only to be met with indifference. Her lack of care and concern for her child left a deep impression on Giorgio, causing him to question how someone could be so disconnected from their own flesh and blood. The stark difference between the sisters emphasized the power of love and empathy, leaving Giorgio with a profound sense of admiration for Anna's selflessness and a sense of sorrow for Katherine's seemingly cold-hearted nature.
After completing all the formalities, Anna came out holding her daughter's hand and met the mesmerizing eyes of Giorgio, like a vast ocean, pulling people in. Her grip on her daughter's hand tightened unconsciously as they walked over.
"I'm really grateful to you today, for helping with this matter and bringing us here."
Just as she finished speaking, her phone rang, it was Simon calling.
"Hello, Mr. Dalio? What's the matter? Oh... okay, I'll be there soon. Thank you."
"Sorry, I'm at the police station, um."
After finishing the call, Anna looked at Giorgio and said, "Mr. Vittorio, thank you for your help this afternoon. I don't want to bother you anymore. You can go ahead and attend to your own matters. Mr. Dalio wants to talk to me, so I'll take his car back."
Giorgio looked at her delicate face, which had just been gentle but now became clouded with darkness.
One second she was thanking him, and the next second she was making plans with another man. Is this what she calls gratitude? She's a woman who burns her bridges.
Not only is she special, but she also loves to provoke his anger!
He said, "When Charlie left this morning, I told you that you would come with me to pick him up in the afternoon. You will cancel with Simon."
It was an order.
Anna frowned. She had just agreed, but now she was canceling again. Wouldn't it be improper? However, looking at Giorgio's stern face and thinking about Charlie, she had to nod and make a call to Simon.
"Mr. Dalio, I'm sorry. Something unexpected came up and I can't leave. I'll see if I can come later and meet with you if you have time."
"I won't be available later. Charlie is going to a place far away," came the cold voice.
Anna stared at him. Is this person intentionally making things difficult for her?
She had no choice but to reschedule with Simon for a different date.
Giorgio was finally satisfied and turned around, walking towards the sunset.
Anna helplessly had to follow, holding Penny's hand.
