Chapter 273 Reject Her
Chapter 273 Reject Her
But he did not know what to say and remained silent. However, Georgia thought that Robert was not
concerned about her past because he was indifferent about it.
He did not utter a single throughout the entire time and neither did he react to what she said.
Georgia was so disappointed that she lowered her head and said, “Robert, never have I expected you
to become so cold towards me…” After Georgia finished, she gave up on him completely.
But after she said that, Robert suddenly held her face in his hands which made Georgia very happy.
Had Robert remembered their past or was he moved by what she said and was willing to give her
another chance?
She thought that she had finally cleared the issue between them but what Robert said next was so cold
and hurtful.
“I’m sorry, I was distracted just now, Miss Lane. Perhaps what happened today had amplified our
emotions. I urge you to forget about this after you go back.”
Georgia suddenly cried as she questioned Robert, “Forget about this? You want me to forget about it
so that you can go and marry Sierra? Robert, actually I don’t need you to give up Sierra. I only ask you
to give me a chance and delay it for half a year. I had already given up on the one-year option. If half a
year later you have not recovered your memories or even if you have and still choose to be with Sierra,
then I will not pester you any further. It’s only for half a year, can’t you even give me this chance?”
Georgia was sobbing but yet Robert still looked on emotionlessly. His indifference enraged Georgia
and she suddenly grabbed and bit his arm.
It was only when she began to taste a hint of blood did she ease off and said, “Robert, do you know
how hurt I am now? It’s hundreds and thousands of times more painful than the bite. You just lost your
memory but how come you turned into this cold and heartless man? What good is that Sierra for you to
insist on marrying her, protecting her, and love her? In what way am I incomparable to her?” Georgia
demanded.
What enraged her was not that Robert insisted on marrying Sierra but he clearly knew about his past
with Georgia and yet he was unwilling to give her a chance.
She only wanted six months with Robert and he refused her simple request.
“Just now when I said that you were very light, do you know how much I weighed in the past?” Robert
suddenly asked.
“In the past year, there was once my body weight dropped down to 45kg. I’m 1.8m and do you know
what it means to weigh 45kg? I was wheelchair-bound and covered with wounds. It was Sierra who
remained by my side and took care of me till I finally was able to stand up and regained my strength
and health. During that period, Sierra was wounded because of me and even stood in front of a gun to
protect me several times and almost lost her life. During the time I was escaping, I was captured by
some local hooligans. They only wanted to beat me up and I couldn’t even defend myself against them.
I could only endure and suffer their beat down…”
“However, Sierra begged for their mercy and instead of taking it out on me, they started to assault and
humiliate her for an entire day and night right in front of my eyes. When they were done, every inch of
Sierra was hurt and I decided to take care of her for the rest of my life. This is what I owe her. Georgia,
I have no choice, I can never repay this debt to her. I can only take care of her from now on. Do you
understand?”
Georgia’s tears continued to flow as she covered her mouth and sobbed.
She did not speak a word and her tears started to soak Robert’s shirt.
She did not know how to tell Robert about how she felt that something was wrong with Sierra.
Robert would be upset with her if she was to talk bad about Sierra.
This was Robert’s personal experience even if Sierra was faking it.
However, all the ordeal that Robert had gone through in the past year also caused Georgia much
distress.
She could only blame herself for being in a coma for a year. If she had woken up from the coma earlier,
she could have brought Robert home much earlier. Otherwise, how could Robert have suffered so
much physical and mental torture?
Georgia cried and fell asleep leaning against Robert’s chest but Robert did not sleep a wink that night.
Meanwhile in D city.
Ivan, Elsie, and the rest had already found Alex’s trail. After all, Alex was about to drive that day and
they found out that Alex had brought his men and drove to the summit of YD Mountains. That meant
that Georgia and Robert could very well be on that hill. However, the hill was very remote and there
were no security cameras in the area and cellphone service coverage was very poor.
It was not easy to find them in such conditions. But at least Ivan had a network of contacts and even
Jason, Jasper and Wilson also activated their resources for help. That night, several thousand people
were combing the YD Mountains looking for them.
Finally, they were able to locate the house where Alex was staying. Very soon, they found some
bloodstains which showed that someone was on the ground. However, Alex was long gone and there
was no trace of Robert nor Georgia’s corpse which meant to say that they were successful in escaping.
That was a good turn of events which was a relief to Jason and Jasper. Elsie continued the search with
the team along with tracking dogs and the police. Even their bodyguards also joined in the search and
there were thousands of men in the search party. However, they did not find Robert and Georgia but
ended up locating Jacob who was walking along another road on the hill.
When Jacob revealed about Georgia and Robert’s escape, a group of people brought Jacob to look for
Alex while another group of people led the search for Georgia and Robert. However, this hill was
enormous and it was already deep in the night and the search party continued the search with only
their flashlights. On a regular day, the tracking dogs could have picked up Robert and Georgia’s scent
but there was a huge downpour earlier in the day and any scent that they left behind had been washed
away by the rain. So even the tracking dogs could not help much. All they could do was to search
aimlessly in the forest. It was only at daybreak when Ivan and his men were able to pick up some of
Robert and Georgia’s tracks and located them.
The moment when Ivan located them, Robert looked at Ivan and nodded. Then he carried out Georgia
who was still asleep. The rain had stopped at this point.
“Is the ambulance here? Georgia had been shot in her hand and needs to go to the hospital for surgery
immediately.” Robert said to Ivan.
“These had been prepared. Come with me and we’ll walk towards the road and the cars will soon be
here and I will take you both to the hospital.”
Ivan looked calmly at Georgia’s gunshot wound and he had a medical box with him. He then carefully
cleaned Georgia’s wound before leading Robert and Georgia away. Initially, Ivan wanted to carry
Georgia out after all Robert had been on the run the entire day and he was also wounded. However,
Robert rejected his offer outrightly, “I’ll carry her, I’m fine.”
Ivan felt amused but he did not insist and started to lead them out of the forest. The cars had already
arrived when they reached the road. Elsie, Jason, Jasper, and Wilson were all there. Wilson
immediately approached Robert with outstretched arms and said, “Please let me have Miss Lane.”
Robert was unwilling to release the woman in his arms but almost immediately his assistant handed
Robert a cellphone and said, “Mr. Simpson, young master and Miss Moon called to ask about your
condition.”
In an instant, Robert snapped back to reality and looked at the lady in his arms. The day was
brightening and the lady was still asleep but her face was flushed red with a high fever. Robert sighed
silently as he reluctantly handed her over to Wilson and took over the cellphone to call Sierra and
Wesley.
They promptly left the hill and went directly to the hospital.
Robert was having a fever but he was strong and managed to persist till the hospital before he relaxed
and fell asleep on the bed as they gave him an intravenous drip. Georgia was sent to the operating
theatre immediately for surgery while the rest waited outside.
Elsie looked at Jason and asked, “Somehow I have the feeling that things are different now that they
had gone through this crisis together. Had it not been Wilson who took Gigi over from Robert, I have
the feeling that Robert would continue to hold her in his arms.”
Jason flicked Elsie’s forehead and said, “Everyone could see that and only you are making a fuss over
it. Both of them already had feelings for each other. Even if one had lost his memory, the feeling still Content © copyrighted by NôvelDrama.Org.
exists. According to Ivan, they were in each other’s arms hiding in a tiny cave when he found them.
Who knows what they did during the night…” Jason grinned mischievously as he said.
Elsie became upset when Jason flicked her forehead and when he said these about Robert and
Georgia. She began to bicker with Jason over what he said. Jason had always been mischievous and
as they bickered, Elsie was about to leave when Jason reached out to her but was stopped by a
woman.
“Jason, behave yourself. How can you bully a girl? Elsie, I’ll apologize to you on Jason’s behalf.”
Miranda walked in front of Jason and frowned sternly.
Jason winced in pain as Miranda continued to grip his arm tightly. He then frowned and replied to
Miranda, “Miranda, mind your own business. I’m just joking with her. Do you have to poke your nose
into this as well?” At this point, Jason felt that Miranda’s attitude towards him had taken a strange turn.
In the past, Miranda said that she was his fake fiancée and each could have their social circle and
lifestyle but recently, he noticed that most of his usual female friends started to distance away from him.
They all said that now that he had a fiancée, it was inappropriate for them to continue to socialize with
him.
Initially, he was puzzled as to why they kept a distance, and only after pestering some of them did they
reveal that it was his ‘fiancée’ who warned them to stay away from him.
Miranda had threatened and even paid some of them to stay away from Jason. Now, Jason started to
feel that Miranda was no longer simply a fake fiancée.
