Before Georgia could answer, Ivan laughed out loud.
"You're lucky you met Georgia, Robert. She put all her stock on the line. If she lost, the whole of the SY Group would have gone to the bank. Luckily our side came out the victor. Otherwise, Georgia would have gone broke overnight and even taken on debt.
"I'm really impressed with Georgia's courage and determination."
Robert smiled and held Georgia's hand.
"I lost you so much wealth, Georgia. I'll transfer the moveable capital on my account to yours. You have to take care of me, right? I'll make the money back for you in a few years."
"What are you giving me your money for? Even if I used up all my moveable capital, I wouldn't be at a point where I want for money. Besides, other women get taken care of by their husbands. I want to see what that's like too. Keep your money and take care of me properly. You just said you were going to make back all you lost. You'll lose face if you don't you know? Back there, Jason and Ivan both heard it."
Robert laughed even louder this time.
He knew that his wife got a bit shy, so he gave her a kiss in front of everybody.
Georgia's face turned red, but she didn't complain.
She enjoyed this sort of happy peaceful days after Robert woke up, and her anxiety was relieved.
Just joking around and sitting around with everyone was enough to make her feel content.
They chatted about everything, and Robert finally knew the full picture after he fainted. He brought up a worry.
"Has the Wimbledon family made any movements recently? They'll definitely come for revenge. Our side has to be prepared."
Jason turned to Robert.
"I've been managing the Simpson family business over here. There haven't been any efforts to get even so far."
At that, Robert turned to Wilson, who'd kept silent.
"Has the Wimbledon family done anything to strike back against the SY Group?"
"Not right now. My side's kept a close watch on them. We don't know if they're planning on going silent for a while, or if they already have other plans hatching in the dark."
"That day when the bomb went off, the kids were threatened by them, so I could only follow them. Eric's men did keep their word. After they took me, they let the children go.
"Before I went into the lab, I met Eric and wanted to negotiate, but he just looked me over a few times and had me tranquilized. When I woke up again, I was in the lab. Eric is a selfish, arrogant individual. We ruined his plans this time and struck a heavy blow against his family. With his personality, he'll definitely try to get even. Even if he doesn't take revenge now, even if he waits for a couple years or a whole decade, he'll make a return unless we finish him completely."
"I'm worried about that too."
Georgia brought it up.
"Back then when I followed him to that lab to see you, he spoke to me about a lot. Even his logic is self-centered and selfish. Having failed with us and lost this much, I'm nervous what he's going to do. His methods are cruel and I don't know which angle he's going to come from. I've already had Jason put continual pressure on Eric, but their family is centuries old, and they have their ways, their people, and their power. Forcing them this far is as much as I could have done. I don't know where to take the next step now.
"Eric's gone off the radar and the rest of the Wimbledon family hasn't seemed to have made any moves. I can't think of a way to suppress them completely."
"Never mind. We'll be more cautious from now on, then. If we know that he's going to lurk in the dark and take revenge, we have to take even stricter security measures to protect ourselves."
Robert sighed and said that, taking Georgia's hand and smiling gently.
"You don't need to worry. This was an accident. I shouldn't have trusted Vincent Poole. I shouldn't have believed him just because he said my father saved him. Vincent was a master hypnotist to begin with, so he might have guided me into trusting him for no reason. Let's be more careful with this sort of person from now on."
Georgia sighed as well.
"You're right, he was a master hypnotist to begin with. He must have worked on both of us for us to fall at his hands. We have to be more careful from now on."
After discussing recent events, Robert was tired.
He needed rest, so Georgia went with him to the room to have him lie down.
"You have to rest up and recover. We haven't fully investigated what you went through in that lab, but you're stable so far and Riley has enough information. I haven't even finished reading through all of the data yet; there's so many. It might take me several days, and I won't be with you every day, Robert. I want to become someone who can cure you, Robert, instead of relying on Riley's team.
"We might be working with him now, but I'm a little worried this sort of cooperation won't continue. I have to clear up their experience these few years, and become the person who cures you."
"I've got it. I'll take it easy and rest nice and honest in bed. You go do your research. I'll wait for my wife to get the Nobel Prize and be the man behind a successful woman, have the envy of the masses."
That had Georgia giggling.
"I don't care about prizes, I just want your body to completely recover and go back into a normal state. The only difference between Riley and Eric was that he still wanted you for your body, but chose to cooperate with me. That's enough to prove that other than those two, others might catch wind. The way you are, you're a rare treasure, and I'm worried more and more people are going to come after you."
Robert laughed as well.
"What do you take me for? I feel like a beauty in a castle getting fought over. Now I'm getting scared."
"You think you're not a beauty in a castle?"
Georgia complained.
"Tammy gave me a warning. Leda might look like she'd all business right now, and all gentle and polite with us, but who knows if she still has feelings for you? I feel like I'm trying to keep perverts away. Mr. Simpson, you have to keep away from these women. If you hurt me, I won't forgive you."
Robert apologized straight away.
"It's my fault, Mrs. Simpson, you're definitely the only one for me.
"But you have to have a bit more confidence in yourself too. You're so beautiful and talented, a lot of people would like you too. The two of us are just too exceptional for so many people to like us, so we have to love each other even more, and have those people give up."
Georgia was finally pleased with that. She walked over, kissed Robert next to his lips, and spoke gently.
"Get some rest. I'll go research with them now. We're in different time zones with the kids right now. We'll talk with them over video at night. They've been worried about you. They'd be really happy seeing you wake up."
After Robert complied, Georgia came to the lab.
She continued to pore over the details and discussed various topics with Aston.
Leda came over as well.
They chatted over experimental developments and data.
Georgia had been working seriously when Leda suddenly raised a question.
