Gina couldn't say anything. She never thought what she feared the most right now is happening.

"No, I don't want to." she firmly said.

They already transferred their parents to their rooms, and she was very heartbroken seeing them in that situation. Bandages were wrapped around their heads, and some of their bruises. Blood was sticking to her mind.

"Georgina, please don't be selfish for now. We need to think about mom and dad. Leo is going to help us by giving us a not-that-huge amount, but it's not enough for our parents' surgery. If you are going to ask some from your husband, maybe it's going to be a big help." Charlotte said.

"That is what I am not sure, sissy. I think we need to find out the reason why they were talking about her money. Dad and mom, they looked so scared and nervous a while ago. I think something was wrong." Charlotte said. Gina doesn't know what to do or say. Alis already told her to stop worrying and thinking about things because her belly is getting bigger. The doctor also told her to avoid stress and anything. "Charlotte, just watch over mom and dad, especially dad. If he acts strangely, we need to find about it." she said.

"It's done. They will not continue to negotiate with him. You don't have to worry about it anymore, Tasha." James said. Tasha just thanked him and smiled. "Dad, don't you think we couldn't notice? You are so close to that guy! You don't even know what kind of guy he is!" Charlotte said to her dad. She just couldn't take it anymore, because he even invited Lincoln to their mansion, and Gina was very mad about it. "Charlotte, I know you are just worried about me, but I can handle myself." George said. "Honey, why don't you just hear your children? Gina said to you already that he's dangerous. What if he is going to hurt you or what?" she groaned.

"Where are you going?" Samuel interfere. Gina and Alis both gasped. "You are going to talk to George about Lincoln? Nah, I don't think he will listen to you as well." Samuel said. Gina just groaned. "Grandpa, can you go and try talking to him? I don't want him to see Lincoln and talk to him. That guy is a danger." she sighed. "Well, if you already talked to him and haven't yet agreed to stop seeing Lincoln, well, I must say he really doesn't want to stop himself to." Samuel said. Gina and Alis just decided not to say anything then after what Grandpa Sam said. "What happened?" Tasha asked her. "Grandpa was right. We can't force dad to stop seeing that guy." she closed her eyes. Tasha felt very terrible about it. "I am really sorry, Gina. It was really my fault. I don't know how to face you guys an
