With everything Travis had said to this point, Georgia was slack on the floor.
This was something she couldn’t picture on the types of experiments she imagined. Maybe even Travis didn’t know.
Robert had sustained nerve damage last year when he was shot, and hadn’t gotten better. Only the best neurosurgeons could fix him, and even then the process was slow.
But Robert had stood up. That only proved that he’d been involved in those regeneration tests for nerve drugs.
For that type of live human experimentation, of course it wasn’t regular medication for people. The drugs in stores and pharmacies had all been through clinical trials, with a premeasured formula and dosage.
In the lab, they would have tested the ingredients and dosage on human bodies directly, until the right figures were reached to sell to their patients.
Robert’s body must have been damaged. Georgia’s tears fell. She went silent on the other end of the line, and Travis didn’t hang up.
He was worried. Even now, he couldn’t guess at what had happened to Georgia.
And Georgia wasn’t willing to speak about it, so Travis could only wait.
After who knew how long, Georgia finally spoke.
“Travis, if you’ve got any written texts on this lab, or if you can acquire some data, please send it to me. I need to understand them better.”
Georgia studied such a field, after all. She studied lung cancer, but naturally, she understood other areas of research data.
“All right, hang on. I still need to sus out some things. I’ll email you later. Don’t be afraid, Georgia. No matter what it is, I’ll stand by you and support you.”
“Thank you, Travis.”
Georgia hung up, exhausted, leaning on the bedroom door as her tears flowed without end.
The happiness and peace she thought they could have now had been shattered.
Even if the results of Robert’s checkup hadn’t come out yet, Georgia could guess that they wouldn’t be good.
She had to think of some way to get Robert’s body to recover. If it was just physical damage, it could be fixed over time.
If it was more serious, toxic damage, even she didn’t know what to do for a time.
Hanging up, Travis went back to the hotel room.
Brenton was in the suite, and he’d been talking to him alongside Sarah.
After all, tomorrow, Brenton was going to fly away again, going back to his island to retire and recover.
“You don’t look well; what’s wrong? Whose call was that back then?”
Brenton asked concernedly after Travis came in.
“Uncle Brenton, didn’t we destroy that human testing lab of Jayson’s last year? There was a lot of research data back then, and your people seemed to have managed the remaining information. If it’s convenient, can you send me a copy? I might need to take a look.”
