Robert smiled, got up, and hugged Mrs. Simpson to him.
“Other than today, last time when you had an incident in the hospital, it’d happened to me one other time. That was it. I’m not lying. I’m sorry. You were ill back then and I didn’t want to worry you, so I kept it from you. Ivan knows about this and the overseas investigation is almost complete. His friend is good, and when my mother’s and Wesley’s business is resolved, the two of us will go overseas straight away to check.
“I said I was going to be with you for the rest of my life. Even when I’m an old man, I want you as an old woman all to myself. How could I bear to let anyone else have you? You have to believe me.”
As Robert said that, Georgia scoffed, while heaving a sigh of silent relief.
At least it was a bit better than she’d thought. She’d thought that it’d been happening for a long time in secret with Robert.
After all, she knew that the man didn’t want her to worry or to be unhappy.
But this was the second time, which meant that Robert’s condition was starting to show problems. They couldn’t sit around and wait anymore.
“Your mother’s coming back today. What about Vincent? When’s he going to start on what you said?”
Georgia wanted to get on a plane overseas straight away, but they’d gotten Vincent over with a lot of effort, and Maisie was Robert’s mother. They had to do this now.
She just wanted to resolve this as soon as possible and for the both of them to devote all their effort into healing Robert’s body.
“Actually, Vincent’s in my mother’s mansion right now. I just went out planning on having dinner with the kids and getting the chefs to make Vincent something he liked. I just didn’t think that you’d be back here at a time like this, then seeing me in my sudden state.”
“Then has he seen what Wesley is like?”
Since Vincent was here, Georgia was very concerned about Wesley’s condition as well.
“This hasn’t started yet. He’ll be living with us today. I’m having him check my mother’s condition first, then coming to see Wesley, and seeing what sort of situation he’s in.”
Georgia’s emotions settled somewhat, and her eyes reddened as she turned to the man and asked.
“Are there still any places where it feels uncomfortable in your body? Tell me honestly, are you just forcing it right now?”
“It’s fine. Last time and this time were both inexplicable pains in the body, then coughing up blood. Afterwards, my body was fine. Even that weak sensation was gone. Let’s not go to the hospital. That place couldn’t come up with any results for my problem anyway. And just one check could get a lot of eyes on me again, and have them believe that the figures with my body are off once more. Don’t worry. The end of this month at the latest, and we’ll be overseas letting the professionals handle it.”
Georgia let out a little huff, then hugged Robert tight.
If they knew what Robert was sick with, the two of them had money and power and could get the peak experts of the world to cure him, or have study teams develop all sorts of drugs with their own experiments.
But the most troublesome thing right now was that neither the hospital nor she knew what was wrong with Robert’s body, and they couldn’t even find a direction to begin researching a cure.
That was what Georgia was most afraid of.
If they were sure it was some kind of cancer, Georgia could still build an all-star team and put a bunch of people on research. With enough capital, even if they couldn’t cure it, they could develop treatments to slow the disease.
But the worst part here was that be it her or the others of the hospital, none of them had heard of Robert’s condition. It was a unicorn.
Georgia didn’t even have a goal to work towards.
The two leant on each other, both with their own thoughts.
