Chapter 92 Suddenly Hugging Her!
"Enrico, why did you call her?"
Enrico handed his phone to Tom.
"Just tell her that Giorgio is drunk, calling out her name and about to vomit blood. Let's see how she reacts."
"Got it! If she cares about him, she'll come rushing over!"
Soon, the call was connected.
"What? Giorgio is drunk? About to vomit blood?" Anna was shocked to hear the news.
"Yes! He's already had eight bottles and can't be stopped! If he keeps drinking, it won't just end up with him vomiting blood, it could be fatal!"
"Ah? Is that true?"
"Yes, yes!" Tom nodded, a satisfied smile on his face.
This woman, she says she doesn't like Giorgio, but in reality, she still cares?
"Miss Stefanelli, please come and see for yourself, right away!”
"What? See him? I couldn't give a damn about seeing him!" The woman suddenly erupted with profanity.
Enrico and Tom frowned in astonishment.
"Are you saying no? You don't care about Giorgio? Why aren't you coming?"
"Care about him? Which eye did you see me caring about him with? I asked just to see how miserable he is. By the way, I'm inviting him to drink another ten bottles, so you can arrange it for me!
And even if he dies, it's none of my business. Don't call me again! Bye!"
Then, the call was promptly ended.
Both Tom and Enrico were too stunned to speak.
Asking Giorgio to drink another ten bottles? Isn't that asking for Giorgio's death? And this woman, her attitude was so rude. She clearly did not care about Giorgio at all.
How had Giorgio fallen for such a rough and malicious woman?
The two of them glanced at each other, their sympathetic gaze finally falling on Giorgio.
"Fortunately, Giorgio didn't hear that, or else he would have to drink eight more bottles."
"Forget about it. Delete the call records."
However, the drunken Giorgio had already heard it!
He did want to drink eight more bottles! But getting up now would be too embarrassing!
"Is that guy still giving you trouble?" Enrico asked, pouring himself a fresh drink.
Tom swept his hand over his face in frustration. "That detective, he's truly like no other. Because of him, we had to cancel two of our shipments. I'm certain that we have a mole in our midst. There is no way he would have known where the ammunition was heading otherwise."
"I see you're still stressed. Here, has another drink." Enrico poured Tom a glass as well.
Tom accepted it gratefully. "If we don't do something about him soon, Boss will have our heads."
...
In the hospital restroom.
Anna turned off her phone and looked at herself in the mirror, her lips swollen and red. She laughed coldly.
Bastard! He deserved to die for speaking so harshly! She quickly applied some medicine and walked out.
"Anna, did someone call you just now?"
"Yeah, it was a telemarketer. I hung up on them." She couldn't understand why Tom would call her. Isn't randomly making calls the same as telemarketing?
Simon smiled faintly, "Tomorrow, I'll have Giovanni handle it for you, so there won't be any more annoying calls."
"Um... alright..." Anna walked to Penny's bed and tucked her in. She wished Penny would get better soon and leave the hospital early.
"Come, sleep over here. That bed is too crowded and you might disturb Penny. I'll sleep on the couch."
Simon had slept on the bed last night, and when he woke up, he saw Anna pressing against Penny.
Anna felt embarrassed!
She caused so much trouble, and yet he came to help. How could she let him sleep on the couch?
"It's better if I sleep on the couch."
"No, it's fine. I'm worried that you might not be comfortable on the couch. I'll sleep there."
"You caught a cold. If you get sick, how would you take care of Penny? Or... should we share the bed half and half?"
"Sleeping with half a bed each?" Anna was surprised and instinctively wanted to refuse.
But if she slept with Giorgio and refused to sleep on the same bed with Simon, what would he think?
But apart from Giorgio, she had never slept with a man before. What should she do?
Simon smirked. "Seems like I'm quite a beast in your eyes."
"No, no! It's just... never mind, let's share half each!"
Anna finally made up her mind and walked over.
Simon was incredibly gentlemanly and considerate, much better than Giorgio!
He placed a pillow in the middle of the bed and each had their own blanket. She had a very comfortable sleep.
The next day, Penny was taken for treatment as usual.
"Doctor, how will my daughter be treated? Can I accompany her?"
"Sorry, madam, family members are not allowed."
The treatment room door closed. Anna felt anxious and hopeless.
Simon lightly placed his hand on her shoulder. "Penny always comes out healthy without complaining of any pain. You can rest assured. I'll handle it and let you in when I have the chance."
"Okay, thank you."
Just as these words were spoken, Simon's phone rang.
It was Mirlinda calling.
"Mr. Dalio, you spend your nights with her, but during the day, you should be with me if we are to have fair competition. I want you in front of me within half an hour."
The call was abruptly ended. It was a command from the high and mighty princess.
Simon had a headache and helplessly looked at Anna. "I'm sorry, in order to prevent my father from withdrawing his treatment, I have to spend time with her first."
Anna already knew about Richard Dalio's command, "It's okay, I believe in you! Besides, Mirlinda doesn't even know what failure is if she's not given the chance. Some people only despair after experiencing failure."
"Your way of thinking is good. Then, I'll go first. Won't you be jealous?"
"I'm not that easily jealous. Go ahead." Anna pushed Simon away.
Once he left, she stood by the treatment room door, waiting for Penny, but suddenly she saw an elderly person collapsing in the hallway.
"Ma'am, are you alright?"
Viviana felt dizzy in her mind. She recovered and opened her eyes, only to see "Katherine’s” face.
That anxious look and voice, just like many years ago, was still so warm and kind.
"Katherine, I'm fine. Just a little problem, anemia. I just need some rest."
Katherine? This old lady knew Katherine? Why did she look so familiar? She remembered! She's Giorgio's grandmother!
She couldn't let her know her identity, nor let Katherine know she had come to Crownhaven. She smiled faintly:
"Grandmother, let me take you back to your room."
"Oh, alright."
Anna struggled to help the old lady up and carefully supported her back to her room. After settling her down on the bed, she was about to slip away, but then she turned around.
Just as she entered the room, Anna saw the distinguished man, Giorgio! Compared to before, he was dressed in a well-fitted suit, with every button fastened neatly, and he exuded an icy coldness.
She couldn’t be this unlucky, could she?
Upon seeing the girl in the hospital room, Giorgio asked, "What are you doing here?" Didn't she want him dead? Why did she come to him voluntarily?
Thinking about how she must have gotten up from Simon's bed, his voice became even colder.
Viviana's face darkened. "Why are you being rude to Katherine? Just now, Katherine saved me in the corridor and helped me into the room. She's here because of me. Why are you scolding her?"
Anna felt embarrassed. She didn't explain earlier to avoid unnecessary complications, but now that her grandmother mentioned Katherine, she was afraid Giorgio would misunderstand her again.
"Well, Mr. Vittorio, I saw my grandmother collapse in the corridor, so I ran over to help, but she thought..." That I'm Katherine...
She didn't finish her sentence, but Giorgio already knew what she wanted to say. Coldly, he interrupted, "So that's how it is. My grandmother's health is not good, she faints often and can't handle stress. Thank you for your help."
The implication was that he didn't want his grandmother to know her true identity.
Well, if the grandmother were to investigate and find out that his grandson slept with an ordinary woman like her, she would be furious.
This man really cared for his family, huh?
But truthfully, his aura today was so cold, as if his bones were frozen.
At that moment, Viviana suddenly held Anna's hand and then Giorgio's, placing them together. "Katherine, Giorgio, you two are getting married soon. You must be happy."
The old woman's voice was solemn.
The back of Anna's hand was covered by Giorgio's large hand, emitting a cold temperature that seemed to seep into her blood.
Her heart tightened, and she felt a sudden panic.
