Chapter 533 Don't Worry, I Won't Bother You Anymore
Inside the ward, Anna was half-lying on the bed, trying to reach the water on the table.
It was inconvenient due to the distance.
Giorgio took a long stride, walked over, picked it up, and handed it to her.
Anna followed the long, elegant hand upwards and saw an incredibly handsome face.
Seeing it was Giorgio, she was stunned, pressing her lips tightly, not knowing what to say.
Giorgio looked at her pitiful appearance, his eyes deep, and said, "Now you're sick and getting treatment, and Giuseppe, whom you personally brought dinner to late at night, didn't come to take care of you?"
Knowing he was satirizing, Anna clenched her palm in anger.
The dinner was actually prepared for Giorgio, and now he mocked her in return.
She shouldn't have been nice to him, finding it now self-defeating.
Taking a deep breath, she retorted, "Whether I have someone to take care of me is none of Mr. Vittorio's concern. Anyway, the person taking care of me won't be you."
Giorgio's mouth twitched, and he withdrew his hand that was hanging in mid-air, placing it on the table. "If it weren't for Penny calling me, I wouldn't have come."
What? Penny called him?
Anna was surprised, then realized the meaning behind his words, and she sneered, "Yes, Mr. Vittorio, you're so busy with work and family matters. How would you have the time to visit me? I won't delay you any longer. I'll explain everything to Penny later."
The implication was that he could leave now.
Giorgio's aura turned cold, saying, "Previously in Corystania, your friend had an issue, and I put aside my work to accompany you. Then you went to Vista Heights, and I took two overnight flights. Anna, ask yourself, if you were the one who caused the breakup. What right do you have to say such sarcastic things now?"
Anna was stunned by the question.
She couldn't deny that during their relationship, he treated her well, spending time and effort on her.
But wasn't he the one who initiated the breakup?
And wasn't he the one who didn't reply to her messages twice while being with Lola?
Thinking of him and Lola together in the office and then going out for dinner, Anna felt a sting in her heart, feeling like a fool for bringing him dinner.
She looked straight at him, retorting, "I didn't expect Mr. Vittorio to be like other men, still holding grudges after a breakup. If you think it's not worth it, I can also take a week off work to accompany you, fly back and forth twice, and return it to you."
"Oh, and here's the necklace you gave me, I'm returning it. I'm really glad you didn't buy me clothes, otherwise, I'd have to take them off and give them back to you now."
With that, she took off the necklace and slapped it on the table.
Giorgio's forehead veins bulged and throbbed with anger at her actions.
That wasn't what he meant.
How could she just misinterpret and erase everything from the past just like that?
"Mommy!" Just as both were furious, Penny ran in. "I went downstairs with Dr. Kensington to buy food for Mommy. Mr. Vittorio, you came at the right time. You can feed Mommy."
Penny, only knee-high, looked up with her big eyes, very adorable.
Giorgio held his anger, not wanting to scare Penny.
He hesitated whether to play along, but Anna's voice came first. "Penny, Mommy's not hungry, and Mommy has hands, no need for anyone to feed me."
Giorgio gave her a deep look, squatted down, and picked up Penny, saying, "Your mommy just wants to rest now. Let's not disturb her. I'll take you downstairs to buy snacks."
Then, carrying Penny, he strode out of the ward.
Anna was left alone on the bed, her face pale and sullen.
The necklace was still so beautiful.
But her relationship with Giorgio had become so distant.
Downstairs.
"Mr. Giorgio, that dress-up gift box is so pretty." Penny stared at the gift box in the window with anticipation.
She really wanted it but felt conflicted.
"If you like it, I'll buy it for you." Giorgio was never stingy with money.
Penny was delighted but then pouted and shook her head. "But you just bought me a gift the day before yesterday, if you buy it again today, Mommy will be unhappy."
The day before yesterday? He didn't remember buying a gift.
"What did I buy the day before yesterday?" he asked.
"The Snow White set, Mommy said you bought it to apologize for being late. I love it," Penny quickly said, thinking of the gift. "Never mind. I haven't finished playing with that set yet, so I won't buy it for now. Mr. Vittorio, I'll just have ice cream."
Giorgio's thoughts drifted.
It must have been Anna who bought the gift to appease Penny. He couldn't help but think, he did break his promise that night.
If Anna's coldness was because of his tardiness, he would allow her to be willful.
But that shouldn't be because of Giuseppe.
Giorgio's eyes darkened.
"Mr. Vittorio, are you happy? Here, have a bite of my ice cream, it'll make you feel better." Penny offered the ice cream to his lips with concern.
Giorgio had never eaten such snacks.
He was about to reject.
"Just try a bite, it's sweet and fragrant, just like Mommy, it's really delicious!" Penny offered again.
The cold ice cream touched his lips, and Giorgio had to open his mouth and take a bite.
It was indeed sweet. But it didn't taste like Anna.
She only made him feel a headache!
After spending a long time with Penny, Giorgio brought her to the ward, and Penny rushed to the bathroom.
Giorgio was about to leave.
Unexpectedly, Anna had finished her treatment and she said, "Mr. Vittorio, the necklace is on the cabinet. I'm taking Penny home. By the way, that house is related to our collaboration, although you didn't use me much, if your grandmother needs it in the future, you can call me, and I'll feel justified using it for a while."
Mainly because the shooting was ongoing, so it would be inconvenient if they couldn't use that suddenly.
Every word clearly defined their relationship.
Giorgio found that she could always raise his anger to a new level.
He said, "You don't need to explain it to me in detail. Since you chose Giuseppe, I won't bother you anymore. Also, if you don't like the necklace, throw it away. I don't want used things."
With that, he turned and left coldly.
Anna stood there, stunned.
What did he mean by she chose Giuseppe? How did he see her choosing Giuseppe?
And he wouldn't want used things? Did he consider her used too?
Feeling a pang of heartache, Anna held Penny's hand with one hand and carried her belongings downstairs with the other.
Although the fever had subsided, her head was still a bit dizzy, and her body was weak.
"Anna. Let me carry that for you." Giuseppe suddenly walked over and took the things from her hand.
Anna was surprised. "Giuseppe, why are you here?"
"The project's revised plan is out, I went to find you, and heard that you were in the hospital. Let's go, I'll take you." With that, Giuseppe naturally carried the things and led her to the underground garage.
Anna wanted to refuse, but the design matter had to be discussed.
"Okay, but after we talk about this, let's not meet again." She was very grateful to him and could be friends, but now he was Katherine's husband, and it was inappropriate for them to meet frequently.
Giuseppe's movements stiffened slightly.
Then, naturally, he said, "Did Uncle Giorgio make things difficult for you? He can be quite domineering and stubborn in this regard."
