Chapter 488
Daddy, Mommy had been in Prison
It was an anonymous number.
After Georgia connected, the other end of the line registered an eerie, processed male voice.
âAn anonymous warning, Miss Lane. Somebodyâs targeting you. Donât leave your door randomly right now.â
Then the line went dead. Georgia looked at Robert, uneasy and suspicious.
âDo you think they have good or bad intentions?â
Robertâs face grew heavy.
âJust then when you said you wanted to go out tomorrow, my instincts didnât feel good about it. I had a feeling of danger.
âWe can be sure that someoneâs targeting us, but we have bodyguards by our side and weâre always careful going out. If they wanted to do something, they couldnât succeed so easily. I just said weâre going to go out together and bring Mr. Pooleâs gift to his friend, so is the call warning me not to go out and give the gift, or something else?â
The anonymous call rattled Georgiaâs nerves, and Robert couldnât make a judgement call either.
The two called Wilson and Ivan over and explained what had just happened.
âDo you have any plans tomorrow?â
Wilson asked directly.
âWeâd been planning on going out tomorrow because Iâd promised Vincent Poole to bring his gift to his friend. I hadnât told his friend yet. Even if thereâs a plot in this, both Vincent Poole and his friend shouldnât know what time Iâm planning on giving the gift. I just chatted with Robert about it and thereâs no way others could know, so that shouldnât be it.â
âIâd been planning on going out tomorrow to the biopharmaceutical firm that we bought up. I went and inspected them today and had go through a brief meeting to summarize. Theyâre bringing up all the accounts tomorrow, because headquarters found something wrong with their accounting. Iâm making them rearrange it and submit it. Someoneâs messing around, but I havenât found who it is yet. I also havenât said anything about punishing the people in the company, and it doesnât make sense for our opponents to move so quickly.â
The two spoke up about their plans tomorrow. Wilson drummed his fingers on the desk and fell quiet.
Ivan, though, spoke.
âIf they feel like going out is dangerous and came to warn you, why didnât they speak out about who the culprit is?
âThey just reminded you not to go out, but you couldnât stay indoors forever. They didnât speak up about which day it is. An inexplicable word like that â I canât figure out their meaning.â
The anonymous call had everyone in a conundrum. Robert even sent bodyguards to check the mansion they were living in to see if there was any potential danger.
In other words, if they were telling them not to go out and if it was malicious, that meant that staying was the dangerous option.
If it was well-intentioned, that meant that their enemies were ready to strike after going out.
But the tricky part was that they couldnât tell which it was.
Just as they were still in the conundrum, Georgia received a call from Mr. Smythe, Linusâ man.
âYouâre calling late, Mr. Smythe. Are the hospital results out?â
Georgia said that, while Mr. Smythe replied.
âThe results are indeed out, Miss Lane. It proves that Wesley and Lucas are the same person.â
At that, Georgia was a bit shocked, but also found it reasonable.
There were just too many clues linking Lucas to Wesley.
âThank you for going to the trouble, Mr. Smythe. Does the old man already know about this?â
âIâve already told the old man. He said over the phone that he wants to see Lucas tomorrow. Can you bring the child over to the Powell family again, Miss Lane?â
âDoes it have to be tomorrow?â
Georgia said right away. Because of the anonymous call, she didnât know if it was the right thing to go out or not.
âDo you have business tomorrow, Miss Lane? If itâs inconvenient, I can relay the news to the old man and have him reschedule another time.â
Georgia was still thinking.
Then she heard an explosion. The sound came from all around and she felt like her ears were going to go deaf.
Her entire body shook with the blast and fell to the ground. The ceiling split open and something seemed to fall in her head and she fainted.
When she recovered consciousness, Georgia found herself standing in a funeral.
She saw everyone around her in black. Annie was there, and Wesley.
They were sobbing, and Ivan and Wilson and Elsie were there too, with familiar faces all around.
Georgia, dazed, turned around, and saw the giant photo on the tombstone. Robertâs photo.
Georgia rushed over, going insane.
She shrieked, screamed with agony, and struggled for who knew how long when a warm hand took her own...
âWake up, Georgia, itâs a nightmare, wake up...â
It was the most gentle voice in the world and slowly soothed her despair and pain.
Georgia slowly opened her eyes.
She was lying in a hospital bed. Turning, her mother was sitting at her bedside, her gaze upon her full of worry.
Georgia floundered for a few seconds, not sure of what was going on.
Her head felt empty, and she didnât recall the dream sheâd just had, nor did she remember where she was.
Her brain almost exploded as she thought back for a while, slowly going into a panic.
Yes, an explosion had happened before she fainted.
Georgia felt her head and found bandages. She turned to her mother, thought about her dream, and demanded frantically.
âMom, whereâs Robert? And Annie and Wesley, where are they? Why was there an explosion? What happened?â
There was sorrow in Caseyâs eyes as she took Georgiaâs hand, her gaze gentle and soothing.
âYou have to be strong, child. The kids are still here.â
