"I have never had another man. This child is yours."
Gigi was silent for a moment before she said this.
Robert felt that he was no more depressed and he was delighted as they spoke frankly with each other.
"I have never suspected that this miscarried baby was someone else's. I wouldn't think in that way. Didn't you believe me before?"
Gigi shook her head with a rueful smile.
"I have no confidence. I'm such an insecure person and I can't trust anyone completely. Am I ridiculous?"
She said resignedly to Robert. He shook his head and held her hands when she was sitting in front of him.
"It's not your fault. Maybe I wasn't good enough, so you can't trust me completely. Even though I'm probably a long way from being perfect, you will trust me completely one day."
Both of them spoke their minds. Gigi felt more comfortable too.
"Actually there are many reasons. I knew early that I was pregnant, but our relationship wasn't confirmed yet at the beginning. At that time, you hated my guts and I was scared that you would straight away force me to have an abortion after I told you about it."
"I had treated you badly in the past. No wonder you couldn't fully trust me until now."
"After that, I knew how protective and caring you were of me. At that time, the evidence of the perpetrator of the road accident had not been fully exposed. I had been worried about your mother and I thought that she wouldn't allow me to have this child… Moreover, I wasn't sure if you were interested of me on a whim and always able to stay by my side. I thought you're the one who will never abandon your mother and may make a choice between me and her, thus I concealed it until you lose interest in me."
Robert felt frustrated after listening to her explanation.
All kinds of matters accumulated, causing them to lose their child.
"Then what happened afterwards? Why did you still not tell me about our child after confirming our relationship in the airport?"
"It was because I did a checkup and the doctor told me that this child may not be able to survive as the child may have some problems. How dare I tell you since I was extremely sad as you may also be upset if you know it. I don't want to make you upset."
He quickly hugged Gigi when she said this.
"You're such a fool! We'll get married and we'll not only enjoy those great times together, but support and share the pains together. How could you endure all the stress alone? How could you be so stupid?"
"I just didn't dare to tell you at that time, but in fact I had mustered my courage and tried to tell you several times. However, it was interrupted by several accidents until the day before miscarriage. I suffered from stomachache after working and went to hospital for a checkup again. The doctor told me the baby was stillborn and asked me to have surgery as soon as possible. I was about to freak out and I had no ideas on telling you this, so I just went back home and lay down in despair. However, Sherlyn suddenly knocked my door, then I was kidnapped, causing me to miscarry…"
"The fates had conspired against us. I'm sad that I didn't protect our child well."
She explained the ins and outs of the matter clearly. All the doubts and fears in his mind disappeared.
Thing that he was most afraid of before was that Gigi didn't love him and perhaps she was just touched for a moment.
Only now he gained some confidence.
"After confirming that you had miscarriage, I knew you had made an appointment for an abortion. In those days, I always wondered if I made a fool of myself. In fact you didn't love me at all, that's why you didn't trust me and conceal everything from me. I was really angry… I even decided to leave you. Actually I didn't go abroad for work and I just lived in another place, trying to digest those emotions. I'm sorry for making you upset."
Since they had cleared up the misunderstandings, Gigi felt much more comfortable as the secret which made her depressed had finally been made clear.
"Of course, it's normal that you was angry with me as I hid the truth. I'm sorry and I apologized to you, Robert. At that day, I had called you for the whole day, but you didn't answer it until night. I heard there was a woman asking you whether the clothes was beautiful. My heart was broken at that moment and I had always wondering what were you doing recently. Until now, I still wondered about it."
He smirked when Gigi said this.
"You were jealous."
When Robert said this tenderly, her face turned red all of a sudden.
"The day before you called me, I underwent my first neurosurgery, but I had a fever at night. The next day, I was in a coma, so I couldn't answer your call. When I woke up at night, my senior came as I had asked for her help to find the news about Vanessa. I had almost asked all my friends to investigate Vanessa, so after senior received that anonymous email, she took the initiative to see me."
"Senior is a bit weird as she likes to wear several suits every day and asks others whether her clothes are beautiful. This's her pet phrase and she cares a lot about her image. You really misunderstood it."
Robert said frankly while Gigi started to ask worriedly.
"Was your situation so bad after surgery? How are you doing now? Wasn't your surgery successful this time? What to do next?"
"It was just simply a fever, not that the surgery was unsuccessful. Don't worry."
Gigi just felt relieved after Robert assured her.
"What about after that?"
"The doctor said before that I'll need to undergo several more neurosurgeries before I can have rehabilitation. So far there're two more surgeries to go, one surgery after a month and for the third, it depends on my recovery."
She was relieved.
Although she just helped to push the wheelchairs once in a while, she knew how troublesome it was for Robert to sit in it.
She was distressed even though he didn't say anything. She eagerly hoped that he could finish his surgeries soon and do rehabilitation.
She wanted to see him get back on his feet.
"You little fool are jealous of senior!"
He touched the tip of her nose. He looked gentle and seemed to be happy when Gigi was jealous.
He wasn't confident, but he became more convinced that he wasn't making a fool of himself after confirming that Gigi was jealous because of him.
"Why there's still someone misunderstanding that both of you are ex-couple and the person who misunderstood is Rachel Scott? Is she still trying to make mischief between all of us? Why does she have such confidence? When will this woman be caught? I really hope that she will suffer something which is a thousand times more painful that Vanessa. She likes Alfred Chow, but she tortured Vanessa deliberately. I really hate this kind of woman the most!"
"When we were in university, she studied at a higher grade, but we both had similar hobbies, so we had participated in various research competitions. Basically, I won the first place while she took the second place, so everyone gave us a nickname, Simpson couple… they were just kidding. We would also met each other usually as there were a lot of club meetings. I wanted to clarify the truth but there was a pervert courting her and even did several serious things, thus she asked me not to clarify the truth so the pervert would give up. At that time, I didn't refuse it because I was single."
"I had been pretended as her boyfriend until she graduated. This thing had happened many years ago and the people just followed the crowd to talk about it. Perhaps Rachel have investigated my past and misunderstood my relationship with senior. She likes Alfred but she tortured the woman whom Alfred likes and even implicated us. Don't worry, I have asked people to look for Rachel. As long as we find her, you can do whatever you want to revenge for Vanessa. I'll help you to deal with the aftermath."
This made Gigi happy. She wasn't a reasonable person.
Before he said clearly how was his relationship with Eliana, she would have different speculations and would also be jealous as she was ordinary.
She could be sure that Robert had no other special feeling towards Eliana.
However, Gigi suspected that Eliana might still like him after Robert telling their past.
This stupid man didn't seem to think that at all. Gigi didn't know if she had guessed it correct or wrong.
If it was true, she felt a bit sorry for Eliana.
She kept implying herself that it was better not to imagine anymore. Probably they were just schoolmates.
She didn't bother about the matter as the most important thing right now was to help Vanessa to get through this difficulty.
"Of course we can't let Rachel go. As for Alfred, I really hope that he had nothing to do with Vanessa anymore… hope that she will forget about those pains when she wakes up."
Then, Gigi brought Robert to Travis Armstrong's ward.
Elsie Clarke had already ordered four bowls of porridge. Four of them settled their dinner inside the ward.
At night, Elsie went to sleep in Vanessa's ward. Since Gigi would have an infusion, she could only return to her ward.
Robert didn't leave and he followed Gigi to her ward, intending to accompany her.
However, this was a restless night.
Elsie's panicked voice woke up everyone who were sleeping in the surrounding rooms at midnight.
When Gigi and Robert rushed to Vanessa's ward, they saw Elsie embracing Vanessa tightly.
Both of them standing near to the window. If Elsie loosened her grip and let her go, Vanessa would straight away jump down.
