Chapter 501
Daddy, Mommy had been in Prison
Georgia nodded. Sheâd thought the same, but she hadnât considered how to begin probing Riley.
Now Ivan had said that he was going to see the man personally, which solved that issue.
She couldnât accept Robert being unconscious anymore.
After finishing the discussion, Ivan flew on a private jet back to the country.
Jason continued to busy himself online, along with the running of Robertâs company in this part of the world, while Wilson helped Georgia deal with the lingering problems after dealing with the Wimbledon family.
The war was over, but there were a lot of problems yet to be resolved.
Georgia wasnât free to do so, so it all fell on Wilsonâs shoulders.
For the past few days, Robert had gone in and out of a high fever. It wasnât a normal viral infection, or a fever from a cold or flue either. It was simply from his abnormal blood concentration causing repeated inflammation, and all sorts of abnormal elements in his body.
âYou promised me youâd wake up before you went to sleep, Robert. Itâs been a week. If you donât wake up, Iâm not going to bear it.
âWesley and Annie are both crying. Theyâre begging to see you and talk to you every day, while all I could do was lie and say that you were asleep, or that you were too weak to speak. But the kids arenât idiots. Every time, they see my red eyes. Can you really bear to leave the three of us? If you donât wake up, Iâm just going to start dating online, you know! Donât think I wonât!â
Georgia threatened him by his bedside, but Robert still didnât wake.
His face was red, and heâd just been injected with the latest organic medication that Antonio and the rest of them had developed to stabilize his body.
But that only treated the symptom and not the cause. Only the fever was being suppressed, but his mess of a body wasnât fixed at all.
âI know youâre hurting. But at least wake up and talk to me so I can rest easier. You made it through being shut in Jaysonâs lab for that long. You can make it this time too, canât you?â
Georgia spoke, eyes red, but the man on the bed still had his eyes shut.
After a while, there came a knock on the door, and Georgia went out. Antonio was standing there.
âYour cousinâs here.â
Georgia wiped the tears from the corner of her eyes and followed Antonio out, meeting Aston in the living room.
Theyâd found a few reliable people for research, and Georgia had asked Aston over.
Back then when theyâd been experimenting, theyâd meshed well with each other. With Robert in this condition, they needed a lot of manpower to process data and figures, so Georgia had asked Aston over.
She trusted him.
âIs the situation serious?â
Aston noticed Georgiaâs swollen eyes. He only knew the basics from the phone and hadnât looked at the data yet. He wasnât that apprised of the situation.
Antonio sent a large mass of experimental data and all sorts of documentation and reports on Robertâs body straight to Aston.
âLook at this data for now. We havenât any leads at the moment and canât make a breakthrough. See if you can bring something new to the table.â
Aston nodded, flipped across the information, and pored over them, in detail.
Georgia stopped staying silent and took up the data to look over all of them again.
She felt like they were in a dead end. Maybe it was the anxiety causing her to lose her rational thoughts, or maybe it was the worry causing her to be incapable of staying calm.
But especially in a situation like this, she had to keep the pain and anxiety tamped down, then find a way to resolve things.
After all, Aston had to look over the data all over again, so she might as well do the same and exchange thoughts with Aston. Maybe theyâd come up with something.
In the day where Georgia was busying herself, Elsie and Vanessa wheeled a certain child around the garden, walking.
Sam was already half a year old and could sit in a stroller now, beaming out at the world every day.
A six-month-old child had all sorts of curiosities towards the outside world, so after waking up every day, Vanessa would take the kid out for a walk.
The child liked where there were a lot of people, and children near his age, especially children a year or two older than he was.
So they occasionally went to the sorts of parks where children played, with slides and swings, where there were a lot of other kids.
But today, Elsie and Vanessa didnât go to those crowded places.
They only walked around the garden pushing the child around. Both of them looked worried, while Sam stared as carefree as always at the plants of flowers around.
It was winter, but G City had always been warm, and there was some greenery that still bloomed in the season.
âWe called Georgia all of two times these past few days, and it was short every time. Georgia looks busy even now and still hasnât gotten in contact, which only means that Robertâs condition hasnât improved. Should we go over there to visit her? Sheâs not going to make it on her own.â
After Vanessa said that, Elsie frowned too.
âGeorgiaâs busy right now. Sheâs a researcher at heart and probably is staying with that bunch all the time in the lab. She has to greet us if we go over, and itâll delay her schedule. She also has to get people to guarantee our safety over there. Letâs not.â
âYouâre right. Weâll just make trouble if we went over. The two of us donât have experience in that field and we canât help business-wise either. But we canât contact her for fear of delaying her, and we donât know her situation right now. What should we do?â
Elsie thought about it, then turned to Vanessa.
âWilson might be busy, but he should still have the time to chat with us over video. Heâs going through night right now. Iâll ask him what the situation is like right now so we can rest easier too.â
The two took out a phone and video called Wilson straight away.
After a while, Wilsonâs face appeared on screen, and Elsie noticed the dark bags under his eyes straight away.
Seemed like Wilson was too busy to get enough sleep.
Elsie still remembered that back then, when Wilson was working hard for her and occasionally lost sleep, even for a whole day, his eyes never get bags.
How many days had he stayed up at this point? Elsie felt a surge of heartache, but Wilson got straight to the point.
âDid you need something? Iâve got a lot of things on my plate on this side.â
Vanessa spoke swiftly.
âWe know that Georgiaâs busy and needs to stay in the lab. We didnât want to distract her with calling, so weâre asking you. Whatâs Robertâs condition? Any improvements?â
Wilson sighed.
âRobertâs been unconscious all throughout and in intermittent fevers. His condition is complicated. Heâs the only one in such a situation in the entire world, and any form of treatment carries a risk. Their hands are tied on that, and Iâm not in their line of work, so I canât do anything to help, and I donât know what to suggest. So for this while, Iâve been assisting Miss Lane with office business.â
That had Elsie and Vanessa even more worried. Robertâs condition hadnât improved at all and Georgia didnât know what to do. Vanessa couldnât picture how sad and anxious Georgia had to be right now.
âIs there any way we can help Georgia, Wilson? Sheâs going through too much alone. And the kids? How are they doing?â
âAnnie and Wesley are safe over there in that kingdom, and Miss Laneâs mother has gone over to take care of the children. Theyâre stable for now.â
Just as Wilson finished explaining, there came a knock on his door.
Office staff had come over with a few documents for Wilson to sigh. Seeing him frown and order those people around, Elsie sighed.
âNever mind. If youâre this busy, Iâll hang up for now. Get a good nightâs sleep. The way you look, you canât have eaten or slept well. Georgia still needs you. You canât collapse beforehand.â
Wilson looked up and smiled mildly.
âIâve got it. Donât worry about me.â
After saying that, the two ended the call.
Elsie and Vanessa brought Sam with them in their worries, heading back to the mansion. The two of them didnât have the appetite to eat anything, and they had the butler tell the chef to make something light.
Sam had fallen asleep and they put him in the bedroom.
The two just sat there in the living room, not even wanting to talk.
But the two of them hadnât even said anything when Elsie saw Alfredâs mother bring a woman in.
The woman was a tall individual, with pale skin.

She found it strange when Vanessa took her hand and murmured in her ear.
âThis is the princess of Svero, Elsie. I hear this is a proud person with an ill temper. Keep your own temper reined in and donât go against her. Of course, she might not be looking for trouble.â
With that, the two stood and walked up in front of Isabel. Vanessa smiled at her mother-in-law.
âWhy did you bring Princess Anna here, Mom?â
