Chapter 394 Jasper and Selena
That had Robert’s temper flaring. He was ready to say something else when Georgia grabbed his hand.
She shook her head at Robert.
“Never mind. Cool down here for a while. Maybe you don’t want to hear my words right now. Rest up. I’ll get someone in to clean the floor.”
Georgia forcefully pulled Robert out of the bedroom.
“Why is your cousin so stubborn? He’s like an obstinate child, spikes all over. I thought he was gentle to begin with, even congratulating us all happily. Then the moment matters of the heart comes up, he explodes just at someone telling him to take better care of himself? I felt like I was talking to a five-year- old.”
Robert’s tone was full of complaint.
“You should have let me scold him. Getting on in years but still so immature – the way I see it he needs society to give him a good beatdown. Looking at the way he is now, he deserves that Kayden leaving him.”
Georgia chuckled at the venom in his voice.
“Calm down, I’m not angry anymore. Really, he’s hurt now, and we have the luxury of talking as bystanders. I’ll call Professor Lee later, or have Emilia get someone to check him over. Sometimes, it’s just reverse psychology. He knows what he’s doing is wrong and just doesn’t want someone to call him out. Give him some time. When he’s gotten over his pain, he’ll apologize to us later.”
“All right. You’re right. If something happened to you, the people around me would probably urge me to keep calm and healthy too. I couldn’t smile all the time, either. Let’s go see Jasper since we’re at the
hospital.”
The two spoke, and headed towards Jasper’s room.
But Jasper’s room was in another ward, and as the two walked out of the elevator and into another building, Georgia received a video call from Emilia.
Did Emilia know she was coming to visit Aston?
Georgia took the call, and Emilia’s face appeared in the video.
Casey’s face appeared on screen as well.
Just as Robert’s face also appeared in Casey’s vision.
“I knew you two would be together.”
Casey smiled and Georgia couldn’t help but feel a bit embarrassed. NôvelDrama.Org holds this content.
“How are you feeling today, Mom?”
She asked Casey concernedly. After all, this time, Casey looked energetic.
“I’ve started following a regular schedule now and I’m not fainting anymore. In another half-month, I should be able to get into physical therapy.”
Hearing her mother say that, Georgia was overjoyed, and gave Robert’s hand a slap.
She was signaling him to hurry up and greet her mother. After all, Casey had kept her eyes on Robert, and she looked emotional.
Robert, though, was particularly nervous, especially with his memory.
This was the first time he’d seen his mother-in-law, and since he wanted to be a good son-in-law and for Casey to be happy with her daughter’s choice of man, of course he was nervous as could be, even a little frantic.
“Hello, Mom, I’m Robert. When you get better, I’ll come with Georgia to where you are and take you back to live with us. Annie really likes you. By then, our whole family will live together.”
He thought about it a while and said those words the moment he opened his mouth.
As expected, Casey beamed on the other end of the call.
“Then it’s a deal. When I can fly back to the country and when the doctor says I’m fine, you have to come pick me up. Oh, right, by then, have Annie come over to pick me up too. Seeing her only on video every day, I’ve wanted to hold her forever.”
Seeing that Casey seemed satisfied with what he’d said, Robert heaved a sigh of relief.
“Don’t worry, Mom, it’s an easy thing to arrange. If you can’t come back for now on your side, I’ll bring Georgia and Annie over to you to visit first, so you don’t get lonely.”
At that, Emilia started teasing from the side.
“Would you look at your son-in-law, Aunt Casey? He’s got a reply to every situation ready for you. Dear coz married a great husband.”
When Robert had faked his death, then reappeared in the public view and the names came up, Georgia had given Emilia a basic explanation, so the two sides communicated just fine.
They didn’t ask too much about what had happened with Robert before, either.
The two sides exchanged some words about Annie, and whether or not Robert was still in danger.
After finishing the chat, Emilia noticed that Robert and Georgia were in a hospital, and found it strange.
“What are you two doing in a hospital?”
Georgia sighed and explained Aston’s situation.
As expected, Emilia lost her temper.
“I know he’d run himself ragged like that. I’m definitely telling on my brother on this just so he gets chewed out. Working himself half to death over a bit of emotion, honestly!”
Emilia was quite angry, and Casey sighed to the side as well.
“Since you’re in the country, Georgia, please help look after Aston so he doesn’t do anything harmful to himself. Bodily hurts aren’t easily recovered from, and if any lingering issues happen because of it, it won’t do at all.”
Georgia hurriedly agreed, and only then did they hung up.
Robert spoke nervously to Georgia afterwards.
“I didn’t dare relax talking with your Mom back there. I was so worried she’d be dissatisfied with me.”
“I could tell. You were so nervous you were even stammering. That’s the first time I’ve seen you so scared.”
Georgia smiled a mischievous smile, and Robert couldn’t help but kiss her on both cheeks.
“Tease me again, and I’ll show everyone in the hospital how close we are!”
That put a blush on Georgia’s face, and the threat worked instantly.
“So naughty. You’re even less restrained than young people nowadays.”
Robert, though, had no shame.
“What kind of man restrains himself in front of his wife?”
The two shared loving words, then knocked on Jasper’s bedroom door.
Georgia was a bit surprised. Jasper wasn’t inside. It was Selena in there.
She looked sad, and Georgia recalled what Jasper had said last time.
Selena wanted to donate a kidney to her brother, while Jasper disagreed. Did these siblings have some other issue again?
Georgia turned to Selena.
“Has something happened? Why isn’t Jasper in the bedroom?”
“Jasper says he’s a little angry and wanted to walk around the garden. He wouldn’t let me follow.”
Selena spoke, and smiled bitterly at Robert and Georgia, looking helpless.
Robert also chimed in.
“Is he still not agreeing to have you donate the kidney to him, or is he still angry over it?”
Selena probably hadn’t thought that Robert would have known about it and nodded.
“The surgery’s been arranged. I just begged my brother not to be stubborn and to let me be the donor. He through a huge tantrum and slammed the door as he went outside. He shook me off, too. I just looked by the window, and he was just sitting there in the downstairs garden, all quiet. I don’t dare go
down there. I’m afraid his temper hasn’t cooled. Help me persuade him, please. His condition’s worsening more than regular people, and the surgery can’t be delayed. Otherwise, it might affect his other organs.”
“Wait inside. We’ll go down to talk with Jasper.”
Georgia said that, then left with Robert.
The two talked as they walked.
“I feel like something’s off with these siblings.”
Georgia raised the question, a little suspicious.
“For some reason, Selena’s acting more like she owes Jasper something. As siblings, donating a kidney seems pretty natural, but the two aren’t giving me that feeling. At least, I’m not getting it from Selena.”
“Jasper doesn’t want his sister to suffer. That logic makes sense, but he’s too angry. There might be something between them we don’t know.”
Robert couldn’t even remember his own past, so he naturally didn’t know what problems there were between Jasper and Selena.
“Don’t overthink it. Since it’s a sibling matter, only those two can resolve it. Let’s just talk with jasper for now.”
The two got out of the elevator and went into the garden, where Jasper was sitting on a stone bench.
He wasn’t even wearing that much. Robert walked over, annoyed.
