Georgia nodded. She’d thought the same, but she hadn’t considered how to begin probing Riley.
Now Ivan had said that he was going to see the man personally, which solved that issue.
She couldn’t 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 Robert’s 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 wasn’t free to do so, so it all fell on Wilson’s shoulders.
For the past few days, Robert had gone in and out of a high fever. It wasn’t 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.
“You promised me you’d wake up before you went to sleep, Robert. It’s been a week. If you don’t wake up, I’m not going to bear it.
“Wesley and Annie are both crying. They’re 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 aren’t idiots. Every time, they see my red eyes. Can you really bear to leave the three of us? If you don’t wake up, I’m just going to start dating online, you know! Don’t think I won’t!”
Georgia threatened him by his bedside, but Robert still didn’t wake.
His face was red, and he’d 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 wasn’t fixed at all.
“I know you’re hurting. But at least wake up and talk to me so I can rest easier. You made it through being shut in Jayson’s lab for that long. You can make it this time too, can’t you?”
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.
“Your cousin’s here.”
Georgia wiped the tears from the corner of her eyes and followed Antonio out, meeting Aston in the living room.
They’d found a few reliable people for research, and Georgia had asked Aston over.
Back then when they’d been experimenting, they’d 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.
“Is the situation serious?”
Aston noticed Georgia’s swollen eyes. He only knew the basics from the phone and hadn’t looked at the data yet. He wasn’t that apprised of the situation.
Antonio sent a large mass of experimental data and all sorts of documentation and reports on Robert’s body straight to Aston.
“Look at this data for now. We haven’t any leads at the moment and can’t make a breakthrough. See if you can bring something new to the table.”
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 they’d 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 didn’t go to those crowded places.
