"Ms. Bradley, sorry, we were over the limit."
Elsie was apologizing on the side, she knew Miranda.
Her and Jason were really a bit over the line.
No matter what, Jason had a fiance now, the two of them were too close when they were messing with each other, even though they were just playing, but in the eyes of his fiance, this might be a problem, Elsie was thinking about her actions.
"Why are you apologizing?"
Jason was asking Elsie.
"Have we done anything that might affect my fiance? We are innocent, there is no need for you to apologize, and also she has no right to control me."
Jason said that, and Miranda's face turned pale immediately.
"Jason, you misunderstood, I was just playing, I thought you were going to bully Elsie, you are a big man, people see how you are nagging with a little girl, I think that is not appropriate."
Jason laughed coldly but did not reply, he was still angry about the fact that his female friends and his soul mates all disappeared.
Even though he understood that him and Miranda had a deal to be fake engaged, and that they should give each other face in official situations.
But he was still angry at her, he didn't even want to leave her any face at all.
"I heard that you were looking for someone all night, I guessed that you haven't eaten all night, I told my chef to make more porridge, Jason, you should eat something, what happened is all my fault, I am saying sorry for that."
Miranda said, then she told her guards to bring a couple of lunch boxes.
Immediately they could smell the scent of all kinds of porridge.
Elsie wiggled her nose, even Jasper came over and smiled, he patted on Jason's shoulders.
"Why are you angry with your fiance, wasn't it just a small thing? She already apologized to you, and she even brought you breakfast, I am dying with hunger, we haven't eaten all day, let's have some soup and fill our stomach."
Jasper smiled and opened the lunch boxes, there was rice porridge with meat and eggs, it smelled so good, Jasper smiled thankfully to Miranda.
"Miss Bradley, this smells so good, thank you for bringing it here, oh right, Jason is a weird guy, if you apologize a few more times and pamper him, he won't argue with you anymore."
After Jasper said that, Jason stared at him.
He didn't bother about Miranda, only stood on the side with a cold face, all the others were taking the lunch boxes from Miranda's guards, everyone started eating, only Jason was standing there with his cold face.
Actually his stomach already started grumbling, Miranda smiled helplessly, she went to Jason.
"You haven't eaten all day, I remember that you like pure porridge, I will put this one here, remember to have it, I will go home now, take care of yourself."
After saying so, Miranda turned and left.
After Miranda was gone, Jason finally looked at the lunchbox.
Jasper smiled at Jason.
"You dummy, have you not noticed that she is being honest to you? She is treating you so well, and she is treating us good too, you have gotten a wife that is really hard to find, are you not going to treasure her?"
Jason ignored Jasper, he took the lunch box, and left alone.
Elsie asked curiously.
"Where is he going?"
"That guy is weird, he is too proud to eat in front of me, I guess he will find a quiet spot to eat his porridge alone, I feel him and Miranda might have a chance."
After Jasper said that, he asked Elsie.
"What do you think about Jason? I feel you have a good relationship."
Elsie knew that Jasper misunderstood, and she laughed.
"You don't need to ask me around corners, I will tell you the truth, there is nothing romantic between me and Jason, I have no feelings for him, we just went too far just now, didn't you notice? Jason is more childish than an actual child, he just didn't want to admit to be defeated just now."
"Right, that is just how Jason is."
Jasper laughed, the others already finished their porridge.
After half an hour, Georgia was finally pushed out of the OR.
"Her surgery was successful, you can stop worrying."
"Is her injury fully recovered, will it not affect her in the future?"
Elsie was standing on the side asking.
"The injury did not hit her nerves, she should be fine after recovering in the hospital, no water on the wounds, eat nutritious, then nothing should happen."
After hearing the doctor's report, Elsie felt better, they went with the doctors and nurses to Georgia's ward.
The doctor told them that Georgia was still under anesthesia, it would take four to five hours to wake up and that they shouldn't get anxious.
Georgia and Robert were back safely, the others sat down to chat leisurely.
"Did Wilson find Alex? Why is there no news yet?"
Travis asked worriedly on the side.
They all had their own tasks, Travis was investigating Alex' family, if Georgia and Robert were in danger, then he would take Alex' family and threaten them, but now that Georgia and Robert already got back to the hospital safely, the most important thing at the moment was to find Alex.
"There was no call yet, maybe he hadn't found him yet."
Elsie said to Travis.
"I know Wilson, if there was any result, he would call us immediately, we should just wait patiently, he brought so many people, he will surely get Alex."
A bunch of them were just waiting silently, Georgia was not awake yet, Robert was in his ward burning up with fever and unconscious, Jacob Willis went with Wilson to look for Alex.
They had nothing to do in that moment.
When it was approaching noon, Georgia was still unconscious, but Robert woke up.
The moment he opened his eyes, he heard Sierra's excited voice next to his ears.
"Robert, you are finally awake, you scared me almost to death."
After saying so, Sierra immediately turned to get a nurse and doctor.
Then, she poured a glass of water, and went to Robert.
"Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere? I already called for the staff, they are going to check you immediately, if you are hurting you have to tell them."
Robert humphed, he was dizzy, he was lying on a hospital ward.
Subconsciously, he wanted to know the situation of Georgia, he knew that he had a fever, but Georgia was hit by a bullet, Robert wanted to ask how her surgery went, but when he saw Sierra worrying about him, Robert couldn't ask that question.
Then, the medical staff came in, and gave Robert a simple checkup.
After that, the doctor told Robert.
"Your health condition is all normal, Mr. Simpson, are you feeling pain anywhere?"
"No, I know I have a fever, I feel a little weak, this is normal."
"Mr. Simpson, your temperature is already down, you just need to rest well, if anything comes up just tell us."
The doctor told him, Robert nodded, Sierra sent them out.
Then, she sat next to Robert's bed, the next second, she took his hand and grabbed it tight.
"Robert, what happened? The day of our wedding, who took you? I saw that you had injuries, is it bad?"
"It's just some scratches."
Robert pulled his hand back subconsciously, Sierra felt bad in her heart, but she still showed a gentle face.
"Robert, I don't know if what I am going to say might make you mad, but I want to know why you were kidnapped with Georgia? What the hell happened?"
Sierra wanted to know about this, Robert thought for a while, he understood why Sierra was so anxious.
He was gone and kidnapped, and came back with injuries, of course Sierra would wanna know what happened, and he was gone together with Georgia, Georgia was his ex fiance, Sierra would not feel safe anymore, he understood.
Robert thought and then explained simply to her.
And what had happened between them afterwards in that cave, Robert hid it deliberately, he did not want to let Sierra know the entanglement between him and Georgia, he didn't want to make her feel sad.
"It was your uncle."
Sierra sighed sadly.
"Robert, what is the situation of your uncle now? Has he been caught? I am worried he might get back."
Robert understood her worries, the two of them had been running from life for the last whole year, they had an enemy that wanted to kill them, if they didn't erase the enemy, then they would never be able to get rid of this shadow.
"I guess they have already used their own people to look for my uncle, don't worry, he won't get far."
Even Robert didn't remember what happened, he had contact with Alex a couple of times, he understood this man, Alex couldn't live a poor life, he couldn't move to the mountains, this man had been living in luxury all his life, even if he would run abroad, he couldn't hide in some quiet place, he would have all kinds of private coffer and enjoy his life.
If he actually was able to get out, they only had to look for this aim, they would find him sooner or later.
This time Alex wasn't able to get his money yet, he couldn't have left the country, maybe he was planning to kidnap him another time, maybe even Sierra, maybe even his son Wesley.
This time he was too careless, the fact that he suddenly wanted to get married ahead of schedule gave his uncle a chance to find his way in, there was someone in his security team that stabbed his back. He was sure that in the year that he was gone, Alex was able to get some people on his own side, he had to clean up his team now.
Thinking about that, Robert told Sierra.
"What about Wesley?"
"I left him at home, Ivan didn't allow me to bring him to see you, he didn't even allow me to come, but I had to see you, so he had to agree, under one condition that I would leave Wesley at home, Ivan was worried maybe Alex had another plan of kidnapping us to threaten you."
Robert nodded, Ivan's worries were right.
"Where is Ivan, I want to see him."
Robert said, then Sierra's face turned awkward, even a little sad.
Robert immediately understood, Ivan was with Georgia, Sierra didn't say anything about that, she stood up and went outside to the guards, asking them to get Ivan.
After a while, Ivan came in Robert's ward, he saw that Sierra was also there, they two of them nodded to great, Robert said to Sierra.
"Wesley must be scared alone at home, now that I am awake, you don't need to worry anymore, you should go home and take care of Wesley, just come to visit me again tomorrow. There are some things I need to talk to Ivan about, he will take care of everything in the hospital, don't worry."
He was trying to tell Sierra to go home in a nice way, there were some things he wanted to speak to Ivan alone about. Of course Sierra was an understanding girl, she showed a soft smile.
"Robert, get some rest, I will go home and look after Wesley, remember to take care, I will bring you some chicken soup tomorrow."
Robert nodded, after Sierra left, Ivan sat down on the couch next to Robert's bed.
"Why did you ask for me?"
Ivan asked curiously, after his cousin had been back from abroad, Robert always kept distance to him, Ivan was taken out of the core part of the company, but he didn't mind that, this time of Robert disappearing, Ivan was trying really hard to find him, he didn't at all bother about Robert doubting him.
And his attitude now was also frank and open, which made Robert a little regretful, he was doubting Ivan all along before, but now he realized his suspicion of Ivan was wrong.
"There is a mole in my team, not only the guy used by my uncle, but also others who went behind my back, I cannot trust my people anymore, I need you to help me.
Robert wanted to ask him for help, Ivan was surprised about that.
Did this mean that Robert started trusting him again? He asked his cousin.
"What do you need me to do?"
