Chapter 373 Robert’s Deal


    Anaya sneered and left that parting shot behind, then hung up.


    She was calling obviously because she’d been med too much online, and the richdy image she’d


    cultivated had crumbled utterly these past few days, so she was feeling pissed.


    She didn’t much like Sierra, but she loathed Georgia.


    Not that Georgia was her cousin’s wife in name and she was inheriting that huge inheritance, Anaya


    was, of course, feeling really hateful for it.


    She didn’t want to believe it and had called to confirm the answer, which pissed her off even more.


    Because of that call, Georgia recalled Aston.


    Thinking about it, Anaya seemed to especially dislike her because she had a pretty intimate


    rtionship with Emilia, and Anaya had done all sorts of malicious spection.


    If Anaya found out that she was actually cousins with Aston, that would be a show.


    Georgia thought about it, and decided she was going to tell Anaya next time she saw her, then get a


    good look at her face.


    But the moment she recalled Aston, Emilia made a video call.


    Georgia took the call, and her mother’s face appeared.


    “Georgia, how’s things inside the country? Is it dangerous for you?”


    Georgia hurriedlyforted Casey.


    “Everything’s fine on my end. I’ve taken care of Sierra. She’s failed now, and my side’s going to stop


    when the person behind her has been exposed. You don’t need to worry about me, Mom. I’ll resolve all


    this. Annie says she wants to see you. Now that your body’s fine and you’re free, I’ll take you to her.”


    Georgia smiled, taking her phone to Annie, who was in the living room watching a cartoon.


    “Annie, this is Grandma. Say high to Grandma.”


    This was Annie’s first time seeing her grandmother.


    Because Casey’s body wasn’t in the best shape and she wasn’t always sober, Georgia had never


    disturbed her by calling first ever since she’de back to the country.


    And since Casey had called to see her this time, she must be feeling better.


    “Hello, Grandma, I’m Annie!”


    Annie looked at Casey and greeted her respectfully. She took a liking to her gentle, beautiful, refined


    grandmother in the camera right away.


    Other children had grandmothers and grandfathers, while Annie didn’t, so she was curious.


    Now that she finally had a grandmother and one who was so beautiful, Annie was overjoyed.


    “You’re so pretty, Annie. Your Grandma’s not feeling well right now and I can’te back for hugs.


    When I’m feeling better, would you like me toe over, Annie?”


    “You’re so beautiful, Grandma, why wouldn’t I want you over? Then you can take me to school and I


    can tell all my ssmates that my Grandma is the best and most beautiful!”


    Annie blurted excitedly, and on the video, Casey’s smile widened. The family chatted for close to half


    an hour.


    Casey was getting tired and had to lie down and rest. Annie left the call longingly.


    But the call wasn’t cut off.


    Georgia waited until her mother was asleep in her room, then walked to the balcony and started


    chatting with Emilia.


    “Has my mother been recovering welltely? She looks good today, and her face seems healthy.”


    “Hey, cousin. Great-aunt Casey’s recovering fine, and she’s more energetic every day. When the


    doctors confirm there’s no problem, she can start rehab in about half a month. Her symptoms were the


    same as yours. Being bedridden for a year or so, her muscles have atrophied a bit, and she needs to


    train them back over a few months. But she just has to start rehab for a while before she cane


    back to the country and live with you. She’d have to be in a wheelchair mostly, and go through rehab


    for a few hours every day, but that’s it. She really wants to fly back and be with you from the way I look


    at her. She didn’t say it, but I can tell that she wants to be by your side and Annie’s right away.”


    A fortnight of recovery, then a period of rehab. That’d be a month.


    Georgia ran the numbers in her head. By then, Sierra would probably be dealt with.


    It shouldn’t be a problem to pick her own mother up by then.


    “When shees back, I’ll pick her up in person. Sorry for the trouble taking care of her.”


    “What are you saying? Great-aunt’s always taken great care of us. Returning the favor is something I


    should be doing. But I’m not too sure of what’s going on in the country. The inte is up in arms. Did


    you really get a marriage certificate made with Robert? Or is that just a strategy to dy for time.”


    “It’s real.”


    Georgia summarized the recent events for Emilia, who congratted her.


    “Seems like it’s clearing up on your end. I’ll exin things to Great-aunt Casey when the timees,


    and she can rx a little.”


    They chatted about Casey a while more, then Emilia brought something else up with Georgia.


    “Aston will be returning to the country in a few days. I’m taking care of Great-aunt, and he doesn’t seem


    to want to stay here. He wants to get back to his experiments. That’s how my brother is. Completely


    focused on one thing. So he was fully doting on Kayden when he liked her and tried to marry her, but


    then when a wrench got thrown into all that and Kayden disappeared, with his personality, he’s


    probably delvedpletely into his work again. I know your rtionship with Professor Lee is great. By


    then, please talk to him about it and see if he can look after my brother. I’m afraid that he’ll be too hurt


    emotionally and decide to just live in theb while neglecting even his meals. My brother actually would


    do it, trying to numb himself with work. But those hurt feelings are just a pothole in his life. I don’t wish


    for him to injure his body over lost love.”

    Georgia understood Emilia’s worries. Obviously, she wanted her to get Professor Lee to look after


    Aston, so he wouldn’t get sick working night and day experimenting in theb.


    “I’ve got it. I’ll talk to Professor Lee about it. Right, has any news of Kaydene up with your brother?


    Has she reappeared?”


    “No, Kayden’spletely disappeared. I know my brother. If she emerges again, he’d have a big


    reaction.”


    “Right, there are bodyguards close to my mother, aren’t there? Even though Kayden’s gone, I’m afraid


    she’lle back for another shot on my mother. You have to keep bodyguards on her at all times


    without cking off. I’m going through some trouble in the country right now, too. I can protect myself,


    but I’m afraid they’ll try something with my mother when they find out. Send some more people to


    guard her side, and get some people to protect you, too. You’ve seen the inte. I’ve forced her up


    against a wall now. This sort of person would only try something desperate at the end to bring down


    their opponents with them. You have to keep yourself safe along with my mother.”


    Not too many people knew that she and Casey had found each other again.


    Georgia felt that Sierra’s business shouldn’t spill over to her own mother for the moment, but better


    safe than sorry.


    Emilia agreed, and the two discussed the details of the bodyguards for another dozen or so minutes


    before they hung up.


    This noon, Sierra left the house quietly.


    She’d arranged to meet Randy at a park.


    The two werepletely prepared, with sunsses and masks and a hat. Nobody could recognize


    who they were.


    The passersby in the park shot a casual look at these two wrapped-up mummies, but didn’t overthink it.


    The city was windy and some people had sensitive throats or got sick easy. It was normal to wear


    masks.


    Sierra and Randy sat on a wooden bench in the park.


    And Randy handed the documents in his hand to Sierra directly.
