Georgia sat up and asked.
"How long have I been asleep? Where are the kids?"
"You've been asleep for almost four hours, and the kids are downstairs playing. Rick came over today to give them a day of lessons, but he won't be coming over tomorrow. He's got something going on at school."
"It's getting dark outside. When you get older, you can't stand to stay up any longer and you must get a good night's sleep to make up for it. Robert, you didn't sleep with me?"
"I slept for a couple of hours or so to get refreshed, and then helped you continue reading this information. I found out something strange."
"What is it?"
Georgia asked with interest.
"Didn't Alfred send over the information about the lost kid that the Chow family has been investigating over the years? I looked at the evidence and information that came out of the investigations over the years and found that they never went to the orphanage to look for him. Logically, the lost child is most likely to have been adopted by orphanages, but it is a bit strange to me that they have never checked the orphanages."
Hearing what Robert had said, Georgia was interested too.
"Are there any other leads?"
"No more for now. Anyway, their search for the child just kept going back and forth from one place to another, but they could never find any more evidence. There are so many people, and it's really hard to find a child who was lost at birth."
"Elsie and Wilson are supposed to have gone back to rest too. Have they called us again? I don't know if Elsie can get a break or not. She looked too tired."
"They've gone back, but they haven't called you. I don't know what's going on either. Are you still going to work tomorrow? You're worried about Vanessa's condition and you have to go to work. Why don't you take another day off tomorrow to rest at home."
Robert was a little distressed.
"That won't work. "
Georgia just shook her head.
"Anyway, you've been keeping an eye on Vanessa for me and getting someone to look into her affairs. I can only send my men to spend their energy looking for Vanessa, and Isabel, and the Chow family's feud, too. It's best to find that lost child. But it's not like I can do much to help. Since I have some free time, I'll have to go to work at the lab. As you know, Travis' wedding is the day after tomorrow and I'll have to take half a day off that day too. I've been delayed all day today. I don't want to take another day off."
"That's fine if you decide. But if you're really tired, then rest up at home. There are so many people at Riley's experimental base, so you don't have to hold out. By the way, I'm going to go there with you tomorrow. Riley wants to meet me to talk about it. Our cooperation has already started, but I have to negotiate with him on other specific details of the contract."
"You and Riley already have an appointment about this? I hadn't really thought of that."
Georgia spoke up in surprise, while Robert smiled and nodded.
"I was free any time, but Riley seems to be busy, so that's why it's scheduled for tomorrow. By the way, what happened to Aston after I picked you up unexpectedly that day? How did he get home afterward?"
"Aston ended up deciding to stay inside the lab. There are flats there, so he won't be living back at my mother's place for a while."
Speaking of this, Georgia remembered that yesterday Robert's mother had talked to her mother. She turned to Robert and asked.
"By the way, after your mother and my mother met, they didn't get into any conflicts, did they?"
"I don't think so, but they drove everyone inside the house out at that time. When they went back in later, your mother and my mother looked normal and there shouldn't have been any fighting."
That put Georgia's mind at ease. It had been a busy day for her, and she should have found time to visit her own mother.
After a while, the housekeeper came up and called them down for dinner.
After Georgia followed Robert to the dining room, Annie and Wesley were already seated.
The chef quickly served the food, which was all the children's favorite, and Georgia and Robert tried to tailor it to their tastes.
They could be described as the typical kind of people who spoil their children very much.
"Mummy, why haven't I been able to video Vanessa for the past two days? Can I video with her today? I haven't seen Sam or Vanessa for a long time."
Annie, who was sitting at the table, surprisingly asked this out of the blue and Georgia instantly tensed up.
