The woman standing before Hertha was none other than Georgia, someone she hadn’t seen in a long time!
As Hertha’s eyes adjusted and focused on the child in Georgia’s arms, realization dawned on her. This child was the same one she and Alaric had seen Georgia holding at the city hall when they were about to apply for their marriage license.
Previously, the child hadn’t cried. His big, doe-like eyes, full of innocence and curiosity, had looked up at her. Those eyes, unblemished by the world, bore a striking resemblance to Alaric’s.
The moment Hertha first laid eyes on the boy, her heart had skipped a beat.
Now, seeing the child again, Hertha felt a mix of surprise and a deeper, more turbulent emotion stirring within her. Ads by PubFuture
The boy was crying, his mouth wide open, and tears the size of peas rolled down his cheeks. On his forehead, a large bump had formed, obviously from bumping into her just moments ago.
Hertha was shocked to encounter Georgia here, but upon seeing the child’s bump, her mind raced not with thoughts of past grievances but with concern. Rushing to check on the boy, she asked, “Hey there, little guy, how are you feeling? Does your head hurt?”
Seeing Hertha, Georgia’s initial surprise quickly morphed into hostility as she stepped back, clutching the child away from Hertha’s reach. Her expression turned fierce as she accused Hertha, “Look what you’ve done! You’ve hurt my child! How are you going to make this right?”
Georgia pointed accusingly at Hertha while holding the child tightly, her face twisted in anger.
Knowing she was at fault for bumping into the child, regardless of her past with Georgia, Hertha responded with a calm and sincere tone, “Let’s take him to the hospital for a check-up. Don’t worry, I’ll cover all the expenses.”
Realizing the gravity of the situation, especially with the child having a bump on his forehead which could potentially be serious, Hertha proposed they act immediately.
However, Georgia, grasping Hertha’s Ads by PubFuture
arm to prevent her from leaving, retorted angrily, “Do you even realize whose child you’ve hurt? I’m calling Alaric right now to show him what kind of heartless person you are, attacking a child!” Content belongs to NovelDrama.Org
Hertha, intent on taking
responsibility, was momentarily taken aback by Georgia’s words. Her stubbornness kicked in, and without trying to leave, she shrugged off Georgia’s grip with a light chuckle, “Go ahead, call him. But just so you know, any delay in getting this child the care he needs because of your actions is on you.” Content belongs to NovelDrama.Org
It was absurd. She had been pushed accidentally into the child and had immediately offered to help.
Yet, Georgia twisted the narrative, accusing her of intentionally harming the child and branding her a villain.
Hertha was curious to see how Georgia would spin the story further.
“You’re not scaring me! I’m calling him right now!” Georgia, ignoring the child’s cries and not bothering to soothe him, frantically pulled out her phone and dialed Alaric.
Despite having called Alaric several times recently without a response, Georgia was prepared for the worst, ready to confront and embarrass Hertha in front of Alaric, whom she believed favored Hertha over her. Content belongs to NovelDrama.Org
Georgia was determined to make the situation as uncomfortable as possible for Hertha, to show Alaric the true colors of the woman he cherished.
As these thoughts raced through her mind, Georgia braced herself for Alaric’s continued silence. However, to her surprise, the call connected.
