Chapter 508
Daddy, Mommy had been in Prison
âIs it happy being with Robert?â
When Leda asked that, Georgia floundered for a few seconds.
She hadnât thought that Leda would ask such a thing, and didnât know how to respond in the instant.
If it had been between friends, Georgia could just say it outright.
She was happy. She was content being with Robert.
But Ledaâs identity was different, and to ask such a question confused Georgia.
She didnât know if she was just overthinking it, but she felt like Ledaâs question wasnât just a casual one.
âIs it hard to answer?â
Seeing Georgia remain silent, Leda smiled.
Georgia shook her head.
âI just didnât imagine youâd ask me such a thing, so I got in a trance for a while. Robert is great. Iâm happy with him.â
Georgia answered the question honestly this time, and still smiling, Leda continued.
âI think the two of you would be happy too. Back then when I knew Robert, he was still a high schooler, but he was already a responsible person to his family and in general. Anyone in his family received his full devotion, protection, and love. He definitely would pamper you after marrying him, and treat both you and the children well. I experienced that sense of being protected too. To be honest, I envy you.â
Georgia could only affirm with a little noise and a nod. She didnât know how to continue that line of the conversation.
Leda mentioned Robertâs past with her, which Georgia actually didnât want to know.
Besides, talking with Robertâs first love about how happy she was with him didnât feel quite right.
She didnât want to deliberately think about it, but Leda just had to discuss Robert with her, which exasperated her somewhat.
Luckily, after that, Leda started her own research in silence.
Georgia looked over the data and inputted new figures into the computer.
The afternoon passed just like that, and at night, Georgia had dinner with Robert.
Jason and Ivan had stayed with Robert to chat, and Robertâs energy levels were fine at night. His condition and all his figures were getting steadier and steadier, and he was almost completely out of danger this time.
Only, it was simply putting Robert into his previous stable state. If he got sick again and the equilibrium was broken, they needed to intervene again.
Georgia had already seen a lot of life or death crises in the data Riley had provided. She was worried all that would happen to Robert.
Thankfully, he was still normal right now.
Everyone had tired themselves out. At night, Georgia and Robert had Jason and Ivan head back and get some proper rest.
Wilson had already rested himself in the afternoon and didnât even come for dinner.
By then, the time Georgia had set to call her mother came.
The moment the call connected, the kidsâ faces appeared in the screen.
âDaddy, youâre awake! I missed you!â
âI missed you just like Annie too, Daddy!â
Annie and Wesley both spoke over the line.
Georgia took the phone and placed Robertâs face directly in the line of the character. The first thing the kids saw when the video call connected was their father, which was why they were so excited.
âHave you been good recently, Annie, Wesley? You havenât been troubling Grandma and Mommy, have you?â
Robert turned to the kids, smiling gently, and Annie slapped her chest, promising.
âWeâve been good all along, Daddy. The king over here is great to us, and Grandmaâs going to come after a few days. Wesley and I listen to Grandma all the time! You can ask her!â
Annie turned and tugged at Caseyâs hand, who also appeared in front of the camera. She turned to Robert and Georgia, smiling.
âThe kids were really good, but they missed you two every day, and they were worried. Now that youâre awake, they wonât have nightmares anymore.â
At that, Robert felt a surge of guilt.
He hadnât thought that the kids would get nightmares over this.
The children had to have been a bit unhappy, and here he was telling them to be obedient. He turned to Annie and Wesley and hurriedly made a promise.
âI wonât collapse again from now on. Sometimes, though, Daddy will get sick, but Daddy will definitely make it. From now on, Annie and Wesley, just rest easy and wait for Daddy to wake up. Donât be afraid and have nightmares. Daddy will always be at your side to protect you.â
âYou just promised never to collapse again, Daddy! You have to protect Wesley and me-â
Annie spoke, eyes red, being particularly sensitive.
This time, her fatherâs illness thoroughly terrified her. Hearing his promise, she consciously had him remember it.
Before Robert could speak, Wesley also spoke up in the camera.
âDaddy, Annie has nightmares at night. When can we come back to you? Daddyâs awake, so do Annie and Grandma and I have to still stay and play around in this place?â
At that question, Robert looked to Georgia.
Theyâd discussed whether to take the children back today.
But the two of them didnât have a better solution. Robert still had to stay here under observation, while Georgia had to remain working in the lab, and the two barely had any time to look after the children.
Besides, Jason, Wilson and Ivan were all busy. Even if they came back, they needed more effort to take care of the children.
They couldnât guarantee their safety either.
âYou might have to stay for a week or so.â
Georgia told the children, and as expected, they showed disappointed expressions, and Georgia was somewhat pained.
She missed the children too, but this side hadnât been resolved yet, and even Georgia wasnât sure about things.
Would Eric suddenly take revenge?

âMommy promises that in a month, Daddy and I are coming to take you home. Not here, but back home. Just treat it like a vacation out there, okay Annie, Wesley? Have fun and just put up with it for a week.â
At that, Annie and Wesley spoke together.
âWeâve got it, Mommy. Donât worry, weâll do what Grandma says.â
With such good children, Georgia was both guilty and pained.
The family exchanged an intimate conversation for a while, then the kids gave the space to Casey and for Georgia to talk with her own mother.
