Chapter 504 Into His Arms

• Hearing Georgia’s words, Efren stopped in his tracks. He turned around with a flicker of hope in his eyes. Cora seized the opportunity to excuse herself with a laugh. “Oh, dear, I think I left the soup on the stove! I’ll let you two talk.” Seeing Cora scurrying for the door, Georgia scoffed in exasperation. “Really, Auntie? You can’t even make your excuses believable. Making soup? You?” But no matter how Georgia grumbled, Cora was already long gone in a flash. Now it was just awkward for Georgia and Efren to be left alone together. Georgia was far from grateful for this forced privacy.
• When someone else was around, she felt that she could still argue with Efren to some extent. But now, alone with her ex, she felt totally lost for words. The silence stretched on until Efren finally broke it by gently asking, “Georgia, how are you feeling? Are you in any pain?” “Isn’t that obvious? My grandma specially put together a professional medical team for me because of this incident. They examine every mole on my b*dy repeatedly, not to mention Georgia wanted to speak calmly too but didn’t know why her tone came out so irritable.
• Yet no matter what she said, Efren remained very patient and good-tempered. “Mm, they’re just being responsible for your health. Just cooperate with the checkups obediently.” “Of course, I know to cooperate with checkups; isn’t that Captain Obvious?” The more Georgia spoke, the more she felt she was being rude, annoying herself so much that she simply fl*pped off the blanket and burrowed into the bedding. Thinking she was still angry at him, Efren didn’t make much of it. Efren was just happy that Georgia was willing to be in the same space as him now. He didn’t need anything more than that.
