Chapter 527 Tonight, A Date
Anna's pupils dilated as she watched, filled with joy and excitement, followed by a deep sense of loneliness.
The next morning, the doctor came into the ward and said to Anna, "Ms. Stefanelli, Penny's condition has stabilized. Now she only needs daily routine check-ups and one treatment session. If you have time, you can take her out for a walk and try to get her to walk. It's best to practice more in the rehabilitation room."
Penny had been lying in bed for a long time and was now having difficulty moving.
Hearing that, Anna was overjoyed. "Great, thank you, doctor."
After the doctor left, she looked at Penny, saying, almost in tears, "Penny, did you hear that? You're healthy now! Once you regain your mobility, you can be discharged!"
Penny nodded. "Yes! Mommy, that's great. I can play with Charlie again."
"Yes, once you wake up, Mommy will take you to find them."
Penny said her beautiful eyes full of anticipation, "No, Penny wants to see future Daddy and Charlie tonight!"
Anna agreed, "Alright, tonight after work, I'll bring them over to keep you company."
"Yeah! That's great! Mommy, you should go to work now! Penny will be good and do the rehabilitation with the nurse." Penny eagerly waved her little hand, signaling Anna to go.
Anna looked at the sensible and well-behaved Penny, a helpless smile on her lips, saying, "Alright, Mommy will go handle the procedures for the rehabilitation room."
After that, on her way to the studio, she sent a message to Giorgio.
[Penny's condition is improving well. She really wants to see you and Charlie tonight. Do you have time?]
About a minute after sending the message, there was a reply.
[Yes.]
[But is it only Penny who wants to see me? Don't you?]
Yesterday, Giorgio was busy with a project, and Anna was busy with filming, so they didn't meet.
Giorgio didn't know that Anna was really angry the night before.
After sending the message, he sent another one.
[Where are you now? I'll go to the company and give you a ride.]
Looking at Giorgio's three consecutive replies on her phone, Anna darkened her eyes.
Actually, she was really quite angry that night. He didn't explain the reason and just took her there, then shared the same taste in food and the same bottle of red wine with Lola, making her feel like a third wheel.
But at that time, she didn't want to lose her temper. First, his taking her there showed he was open about it, and second, she didn't want to be petty and jealous, especially since she felt inferior to Lola.
Later, after being comforted by Lucia and Sara, she felt it Giorgio indeed cared about her..
Now, he was interacting with her as usual, completely unaware that she was angry, which made her feel a bit empty inside.
Did he think she shouldn't be angry? Or did he really not notice?
Why did she always have to be so emotional and feel sad?
Anna patted her cheeks and replied: [No need, I'm already in a taxi on my way to the studio.
See you tonight.]
Giorgio replied: [Alright, I'll finish work early.]
The conversation ended there.
Anna put away her phone and focused on work.
As a video creator, it might seem easy, but in reality, every step, from the environment, lighting, content, to post-production, had high demands.
Only by creating beautiful and emotional works could you gain appreciation.
And the investors were already urging, wanting to showcase the work as soon as possible.
After arriving, Anna quickly started filming with Lucia and Sara.
With the pace of one video a day, they could release it in a week.
"Anna, are you sure you're ready?" Lucia asked seriously.
All the filming content would show her face, which meant that once it was released, everyone would know about Anna.
Even in other places, with the current speed of internet dissemination, it would quickly get spread, not to mention their collaboration channels and abundant resources.
Anna understood what Lucia meant. She had the same appearance as Katherine, and once she appeared in front of people, she would face all kinds of comments, comparisons, criticisms, and even toxic fans.
She took a deep breath and said, "It's okay, I can manage that. Only by having my own abilities and value will I have the confidence when the day of revenge comes."
Lucia patted her shoulder. "Alright, we support you."
Sara also said, "No matter what, I'll always be by your side! "
"Yes. The three of us will work hard together." Anna looked at the two of them happily, feeling grateful.
Unexpectedly, the ones who treated her well were not her blood-related sister, but her friends.
After filming, Lucia said, "Anna, the dating app event ends in five days. According to internal sources, even the backend can't see the data now, so we don't know if the 100% match has appeared. Have you started yet? Don't forget such an important thing."
Sara echoed, "Yes, this is an opportunity to stand with Mr. Vittorio openly and make Katherine furious. She doesn't like calling you sister, right? Then she'll call you aunt-in-law in the future. Just thinking about that title is exciting."
Sara's ideas were always extraordinarily lively.
Anna said lightly, "Don't worry, I'll do it. I promised Penny today that I'd take Charlie over, so I'll head over first."
"Alright, I won't disturb you four," Sara said with a smile.
Lucia was left confused.
A family of four? That term sounded a bit strange.
"Wait! Anna, come back." Sara suddenly pulled Anna back, looked her over, and said, "Your outfit is too casual. Although Mr. Vittorio isn't a visual animal who judges people by their appearance, you should still pay attention to your image. Lucia, let's help her, shall we?"
"Okay."
"Hey, no need, really." Anna tried to stop them.
"Come on. You must dress up."
"Sit tight."
The two didn't give Anna a chance and started dressing her up.
Half an hour later, a refreshed Anna appeared in the mirror, wearing a simple white dress with thin straps outlining her graceful figure.
Her hair was casually tied at the back, with a matching headband tied into a bow, elegant yet lively. Her already delicate face was lightly made up, looking even more beautiful and pretty.
"Wow! Even prettier than a little fairy walking out of the forest! So fresh and lovely, Mr. Vittorio won't be able to resist for a second!"
"I agree!" Sara echoed.
After Sara finished, Lucia also chimed in, "By the way, Anna, if you and Mr. Vittorio aren't planning to have kids yet, consider buying couple essentials."
"What are you thinking? I'm going to see Penny." Anna pouted, flushed, and then quickly left.
Just as she walked onto the street, her phone rang.
It was Giorgio.
