The two began to shut their eyes. Robert inched closer to Georgia, and the two fell asleep slowly, holding each other.
Georgia couldn’t sleep well.
But she didn’t want Robert to stay awake like her, so she held her breath and forced herself to sleep.
Finally, she fell into a drowsy slumber.
In the morning, Georgia woke first, while Robert was still sleeping.
Georgia left the bedroom sneakily.
She went downstairs, planning on making breakfast in the kitchen.
The servants had woken as well, and seeing Georgia cook, they got ready to help.
Georgia, though, stopped them and had them go out to get the groceries she needed.
She planned on making egg noodles for Robert, Annie and Ivan.
After busying herself in the kitchen, Georgia saw Annie come in.
“What are you making this morning, Mommy?”
“Just some egg noodles, nice and simple. Anything you want, Annie?”
“Mommy’s noodles are delish. No need for anything else, I’ll be full after one bowl.”
After that, Annie asked curiously.
“Why isn’t Daddy awake yet? Should I go wake him up? How could Daddy sleep in alone like this!”
Annie was a little pouty, while Georgia smiled.
“Your Daddy stayed up late last night and didn’t sleep well. Don’t disturb him. Let him sleep. When I finish these noodles, he’ll probably be up too.”
“Okay. If Daddy didn’t sleep well, he should get some good sleep now. I won’t disturb him.”
With that, Annie bounded to the garden and started playing on the swing.
She seemed to have fallen in love with that swing. Georgia could hear her joyous laughter as she swung around outside.
She finished chopping up some onions, then started boiling water.
With prep done, Georgia walked out the kitchen.
She saw Ivan, already washed, standing before the gigantic glass window outside the first floor dining room, where one could see the entire garden outside the mansion.
Georgia walked over and stood at Ivan’s side.
“Yesterday night, I saw you and Robert standing outside the garden. You were there on the swing in the beginning, then Robert came up behind you quietly. You stayed like that for half an hour. Georgia, I think you know how Robert feels towards you. And we all know how much you love Robert as well. I’ve heard too – last night, did you go interrogate Sierra Moon? What did she say?”
Ivan’s tone was heavy.
Georgia was a researcher into killing cancer cells, and regarding the biology and medicine she’d learned, Ivan had learned almost the exact same things as well.
Generally speaking, the two had learned almost the same things, with many identical points of study.
Except, of course, for Ivan’s specialty in surgery, which was something Georgia didn’t understand.
But concerning basic knowledge, the two were neck and neck.
So Ivan understood full well what those underground human experimentation labs meant.
It meant unimaginable darkness and pain.
“She told me everything and admitted to me that she was Emma Lane.”
“So she really is Emma Lane. I thought she’d fixed her face with surgery.”
Ivan smiled, but there wasn’t much of a smile in his eyes.
