The moment she answered the phone, Georgia hadn't reacted that the person calling was Tammy.
"Hello, may I ask who you are looking for?"
As Georgia uttered the words, a woman's voice came on the other end of the line.
"Georgia, don't you remember my voice?"
"What's up?"
Georgia finally remembered that it was Tammy's voice. What was she doing calling her?
"I came to the country and intended to have some fun. You're kind of my cousin. Shouldn't you guys treat me to a meal when I'm here?"
"You guys ..."
Georgia laughed.
"You mean you want me to bring my family to have dinner with you and pick you up. Miss Wilkes, is that what you mean?"
"What do you mean?"
Tammy asked with a sullen look.
"I think you know exactly what I mean."
Georgia sneered and hung up, while Robert asked curiously.
"What's wrong? Who was it that called? What's got you so upset?"
"Tammy called. Why are you so attractive? I think Tammy came to the country just to pester you."
Georgia's comment made Robert laugh.
"The fact that I'm attractive only proves that you have great taste. As for those who like me, you have absolutely nothing to worry about, because I don't have anyone inside my heart but you."
"You're quite the narcissist."
Georgia chuckled at his comment, while the discomfort she had just felt in her mind instantly dissipated.
Just because she was a few years younger than her, Tammy always looked at her with the attitude that Robert would sooner or later get sick of her, as if she thought she would become abandoned by Robert one day. This feeling really irritated her.
But Robert's comment did put her in a better mood.
"She actually called me yesterday too."
Robert said to Georgia.
"She said she wanted to meet up with me and asked me to show her around the country."
"And what did you say in reply?"
"I refused outright, of course. I have a wife and children. How could I go out with a single woman? Am I the perfect husband?"
Georgia rewarded Robert by kissing him directly on the cheek.
"Well done. From now on, you're going to treat these women as ruthlessly as the autumn wind sweeps away the leaves. Understand?"
"You're right about everything."
The two made jokes and the journey became interesting instead.
In fact, Robert felt that Gigi had been too unhappy lately. The atmosphere in the family was a bit depressing because of Vanessa's affair.
He wanted to cheer her up too, so he preferred to say something amusing to make her smile.
When they got off the car at the lab, Georgia and Robert went inside hand in hand.
Just inside, he saw Riley and Leda standing next to him.
"Robert, it looks like you're recovering nicely."
Leda smiled at Robert as she uttered these words. Robert suddenly felt a little down on his luck.
He had just gotten Tammy's affairs in order, and how did they run into Leda again?
He could even see the cold air emanating from Georgia's body.
"I really don't have any physical abnormalities right now."
He replied to Riley with a faint smile.
"Where are we going to talk?"
"There's my office upstairs. Just follow me up there."
Georgia certainly wasn't going to get involved in those negotiations, and that wasn't her area of expertise either. She'd been delayed for a day or two and now had to rush off to have a chat with Antonio about the progress of the last two days.
Robert and Riley went upstairs while Georgia walked straight towards Antonio's lab.
Antonio had a large laboratory of his own, and he had his own lab tools, so he wouldn't be working with anyone else on the experiments.
But he would recruit a few assistants to help him. He had already recruited a few helpers since he arrived here, and Georgia was doing experiments in this lab with him.
"The data from the experiments I did yesterday, and the things I've organized are in that folder. Take a quick look at it and then come back to keep up with my progress."
Antonio spoke as soon as Georgia entered.
She nodded, then took the folder and sat down next to him and read it.
After a while, she opened the computer again and started comparing the information.
The whole lab was quiet, and everyone was busy with their own things.
And inside Riley's office on the top floor, Robert and Riley sat across from each other.
"Jason revealed some details to me earlier. You said that some of the negotiations had to be done in person with me. What's this all about?"
Riley smiled.
"I've exposed you to my background and this research base. Now Georgia has brought Antonio, Adolf, and Aston into this base. We'll have to talk about the future ownership of research results and patents, as well as the distribution of shares."
"What do you think? I'll listen to what you want first."
Robert asked calmly, but Riley spoke up straight away.
"I can give you all the results and patents of this research base. You can have all the proceeds from this experimental base in the future."
This comment, however, surprised Robert. He looked at Riley strangely.
"What do you want to do? Or what are you going to make me pay for?"
"Do you know what Eric had you for back then? He wanted to experiment with your body. Because your body has now survived all sorts of dangers and instead produced the substance to allow itself to heal. It is especially important to me that you get back on your feet and that you let your nerves heal again. I want you to come over every day or at least once a week to cooperate with my team's research so that they can examine the mysteries inside your body."
"I promised you this thing, and I didn't refuse it. Nor do you need to give me all the results and patents of this experimental base and then exchange them for my arrival."
Robert spoke up without understanding. He hadn't refused to give the secrets inside his body to his people to study.
He also didn't quite understand what Riley meant by this paragraph.
"Your blood is not quite the same as everyone else's now. Georgia has told you about it, I believe, but my people have not been able to make any greater breakthroughs in their research. Your blood and hers are of one blood type. I'd like to try a risky approach and have you give her a blood transfusion. If it works, it will last. If you agree to this thing, I will give you all the results of this experimental base."
Robert finally understood the reason for Riley's remark. It turned out that he wanted his blood.
