Daddy, Mommy had been in Prison novel Chapter 373

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

She was calling obviously because she’d been flamed too much online, and the rich lady 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 relationship with Emilia, and Anaya had done all sorts of malicious speculation.

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 hurriedly comforted 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’d come 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’t come back for hugs. When I’m feeling better, would you like me to come 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 classmates 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 well lately? 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 can come 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 she comes 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 internet is up in arms. Did you really get a marriage certificate made with Robert? Or is that just a strategy to delay for time.”

“It’s real.”

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

“Seems like it’s clearing up on your end. I’ll explain things to Great-aunt Casey when the time comes, and she can relax 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 delved completely into his work again. I know your relationship 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 the lab 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 the lab.

“I’ve got it. I’ll talk to Professor Lee about it. Right, has any news of Kayden come up with your brother? Has she reappeared?”

“No, Kayden’s completely 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’ll come back for another shot on my mother. You have to keep bodyguards on her at all times without slacking 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 internet. 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 were completely prepared, with sunglasses 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.
