Daddy, Mommy had been in Prison

Chapter 419 Aston and Anaya Sitting in a Tree

Georgia couldn’t help but raise her voice. Laurie nodded, a little confused.

“Why? Do you know the girl?”

Georgia nodded. It was a long story.

“She and I and Aston used to be colleagues in the same research team. Back then, Aston’s research

direction aligned with mine, and we conversed often. Anaya always liked Aston, so she’d been

somewhat hostile to me. There’s been some bad blood between us. Not only that, but she’s also

Robert’s cousin. I’m technically her cousin too now, but our relationship isn’t the best. And before,

Aston used to really dislike Anaya and wouldn’t give her the time of day. Why’s he with her now?”

Georgia found it strange, and Laurie also chuckled helplessly.

“Yes, I can see it too. Aston doesn’t like the girl, and I don’t like this Anaya, either. I keep feeling like

she’s not as pure of mind as she lets on. But Aston just has to be with her. As his mother, I can’t crack

down, so that’s why I wanted you to investigate her for me. So my speculation was right and there

really is an issue.”

“I’ll go meet him.”

Georgia suggested actively.

“I don’t know if he’s willing to see me, but I’ll still go ask him what he’s thinking. If it’s hard for you to get

involved, Mr. and Mrs. Powell, I’ll ask him for you.”

Laurie and Carr both thanked Georgia.

Afterwards, when Georgia headed to the hospital again, she received a call from Robert.

“Are you close to the hospital and haven’t got home yet?”

Georgia nodded.

“I’m getting ready to meet Aston at the hospital. I’ll go home afterwards.”

At that, Robert chuckled at the other end of the line.

“Don’t leave the hospital for now. I’m coming to the hospital too. Then we can both go home together.”

That had Georgia a little surprised.

“What are you doing in the hospital too?”

“Last night, Jasper and Selena had their surgery in the operating room. Jasper should still be under,

and the doctors guess that after the anesthetic wears off, he’ll wake up in the afternoon.”

So Jasper and Selena had already had their surgery.

Why did they do it in the middle of the night, though? And hadn’t Jasper refused the operation all

along?

Georgia found it strange and hadn’t raised her own question yet when Robert continued.

“The surgery was done when Jasper wasn’t aware. Selena and their parents essentially forced the

operation on him. Jasper is definitely going to be angry when he wakes up, so Mr. and Mrs. Holland

gave me a call and asked me to come to the hospital to see Jasper, maybe persuade him a little, so he

doesn’t throw a tantrum after the operation and make it hard to recover.

“Jason should have received the phone call already. We’ll see him together. Ivan also gave me a call.

He’s at the hospital already and well probably go see Jasper with us. But right now, he still needs to

check on the patient he operated on yesterday and see how that person’s recovering. Wait for me at

the hospital. We’ll go see Jasper together.”

Georgia nodded and agreed.

Afterwards, she went to Aston’s room.

Opening the door, Anaya was there sitting at Aston’s bedside, peeling an apple and talking about

something while Aston read a book at the side.

The scene looked sweet, but she found it strange.

So the two really were together. What was Aston thinking?

Georgia was dubious, while Aston and Anaya both turned to look at her with her arrival.

Anaya, who’d either mocked her or showed outright hatred to her, actually gave a pleasing smile this

time around.

“Hello, cousin. Are you here to see Aston? Come, sit, I’ll fetch you some water.”

That pleasing attitude was a little disturbing.

Georgia felt like Anaya didn’t have good intentions, but after she sat down, Anaya really did pour her

some water.

She couldn’t help but be suspicious.

“You didn’t poison this water or anything, did you?”

That had Anaya smiling awkwardly, and Aston even chuckled at the side.

“You’re making too much of it, Georgia. She’s apologizing for what happened before. With me here, Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

she won’t do anything to you.”

These two were being weird.

Georgia took a sip and put the water down, while Anaya beamed at her.

“I was young and stupid back then and had a bad attitude towards you. I went too far in some

occasions. Please, could you let bygones be bygones? I won’t do that sort of thing anymore.”

“You don’t need to apologize to me.”

Georgia said embarrassedly. With how Anaya was apologizing and trying to please her, she felt a bit

apprehensive.

“Didn’t I misunderstand your relationship with Aston back then? You two turned out to be cousins. Look

at how silly I was, dear cousin. Please be generous and disregard those dumb things I used to do.”

Georgia could only nod, actually disregarding those dumb things for a moment.

The two had a pretty big grudge, but since Anaya was being so pleasing, it wouldn’t be too proper to

dredge up that grudge.

She turned to Anaya and spoke.

“I’d like to discuss some things with my cousin. You might have to step out for a bit. I’ll be done in a

moment.”

Anaya didn’t look too happy with that, while Aston spoke.

“Go downstairs and buy some oranges if you would. I’ll just talk with Georgia for a while. You can come

back later.”

Anaya left a little resentfully, and her pleasing expression towards Georgia turned a little dissatisfied.

She knew that Anaya wasn’t seriously repenting. She was just pretending for Aston.

When Anaya walked off, Georgia hadn’t spoken yet when Aston broached the subject.

“What’s so important you needed to get Anaya out of the room?”

“I think you can guess. It’s not my business, but I can at least ask about it, right? You used to dislike

Anaya, didn’t you? Why are you suddenly agreeing to be with her now?”

At that, Aston showed a strange smile.

“After I got sick, Anaya come to the hospital every day to take care of me and talk to me. I recalled the

first time I’d seen her. That was four or five years ago. She’d started courting me then. When I went

back to D City and started working at the MU lab, she came over to and continued to chase after me. I

was wondering how a person could remain determined for so long. Was she capable of loving me all

throughout?

“So, I thought that if I couldn’t be with someone I loved, then I could be with someone who loved me. I

want to know what it feels like to be loved.”

“But didn’t you hate her? Well, maybe not hate, but weren’t you always cold to her?”

At those words, Aston ducked his head and chuckled.

“Back when I first got to know you, Robert didn’t treat you that well. Aren’t you all sweet and sticky right

now? Not all loves in this world start and end in honey. Maybe I’ll really fall for her.”

That was such a powerful reason that Georgia wasn’t just struck dumb, she actually choked up.

After all, she hadn’t been that willing to remember all the unhappiness that had once been between

Robert and her.

But Aston just had to go there.

In the end, Georgia couldn’t really say anything else and left Aston’s room.

Before she left, she urged him to look after his own body, then go back to work after he’d recovered.

She stood in the hospital corridor, preparing to give Robert a call.

Then she suddenly saw Kayden’s figure.

Georgia had no idea what Kayden was doing in the hospital.

Without a trace of hesitation, Georgia chased after her shadow.
