Robert smiled, got up, and hugged Mrs. Simpson to him.
"Other than today, last time when you had an incident in the hospital, it'd happened to me one other time. That was it. I'm not lying. I'm sorry. You were ill back then and I didn't want to worry you, so I kept it from you. Ivan knows about this and the overseas investigation is almost complete. His friend is good, and when my mother's and Wesley's business is resolved, the two of us will go overseas straight away to check.
"I said I was going to be with you for the rest of my life. Even when I'm an old man, I want you as an old woman all to myself. How could I bear to let anyone else have you? You have to believe me."
As Robert said that, Georgia scoffed, while heaving a sigh of silent relief.
At least it was a bit better than she'd thought. She'd thought that it'd been happening for a long time in secret with Robert.
After all, she knew that the man didn't want her to worry or to be unhappy.
But this was the second time, which meant that Robert's condition was starting to show problems. They couldn't sit around and wait anymore.
"Your mother's coming back today. What about Vincent? When's he going to start on what you said?"
Georgia wanted to get on a plane overseas straight away, but they'd gotten Vincent over with a lot of effort, and Maisie was Robert's mother. They had to do this now.
She just wanted to resolve this as soon as possible and for the both of them to devote all their effort into healing Robert's body.
"Actually, Vincent's in my mother's mansion right now. I just went out planning on having dinner with the kids and getting the chefs to make Vincent something he liked. I just didn't think that you'd be back here at a time like this, then seeing me in my sudden state."
"Then has he seen what Wesley is like?"
Since Vincent was here, Georgia was very concerned about Wesley's condition as well.
"This hasn't started yet. He'll be living with us today. I'm having him check my mother's condition first, then coming to see Wesley, and seeing what sort of situation he's in."
Georgia's emotions settled somewhat, and her eyes reddened as she turned to the man and asked.
"Are there still any places where it feels uncomfortable in your body? Tell me honestly, are you just forcing it right now?"
"It's fine. Last time and this time were both inexplicable pains in the body, then coughing up blood. Afterwards, my body was fine. Even that weak sensation was gone. Let's not go to the hospital. That place couldn't come up with any results for my problem anyway. And just one check could get a lot of eyes on me again, and have them believe that the figures with my body are off once more. Don't worry. The end of this month at the latest, and we'll be overseas letting the professionals handle it."
Georgia let out a little huff, then hugged Robert tight.
If they knew what Robert was sick with, the two of them had money and power and could get the peak experts of the world to cure him, or have study teams develop all sorts of drugs with their own experiments.
But the most troublesome thing right now was that neither the hospital nor she knew what was wrong with Robert's body, and they couldn't even find a direction to begin researching a cure.
That was what Georgia was most afraid of.
If they were sure it was some kind of cancer, Georgia could still build an all-star team and put a bunch of people on research. With enough capital, even if they couldn't cure it, they could develop treatments to slow the disease.
But the worst part here was that be it her or the others of the hospital, none of them had heard of Robert's condition. It was a unicorn.
Georgia didn't even have a goal to work towards.
The two leant on each other, both with their own thoughts.
Soon afterwards, Georgia found that her phone was ringing.
It was the notification for a video call.
Seeing that Emilia was the caller, Georgia could guess that her mother wanted to see her.
"Take the call and talk to my mother for a while. I'm going to the washroom to deal with my eyes."
Georgia said that and tossed the phone to Robert, then rushing inside the bathroom.
She'd just cried, and her eyes had to be red.
Georgia didn't' want her mother to worry. She decided to deal with her own eyes first and put some mild makeup on inside.
Robert held the phone and faced his mother-in-law alone, a little nervous.
Still, at a time like this, he could only help his wife.
The moment the call connected, Emilia's face appeared in the screen, and behind her, Casey was walking step by step in the physical therapy room. It seemed like she could walk along the railings now.
"Where's Georgia? Why is it you with the phone?"
Georgia asked curiously. Casey, who was still training her stride, also walked by the camera.
"Is Georgia still in hospital? I only just saw what happened online for the last two days. Someone actually assaulted Georgia and did that sort of malicious interview with her and you kept it from me. Is Georgia in a serious condition right now?"
Casey spoke worriedly. She'd been overseas doing PT for this entire time and talked with her daughter but rarely, sometimes video calling to see her granddaughter.
Most of the time, because of the time gap and all the PT she had to do every day, she rested most of the time and didn't call that often.
Besides, the websites weren't the same inside and outside the country, so she didn't find out about the video right away.
Then Emilia had seen it and she'd seen how her own daughter had been injured in the head by a reporter in the video, and looking at all the flaming commentary against her daughter, Casey felt a twinge of fear,
But when she'd seen the video, it was the middle of the night over in the country, and she couldn't very well call and ask about it right away. She could only wait to call at the daytime and see what condition her daughter was in.
Now, there was only Robert in the video, and Casey grew even more worried.
Did that reporter seriously injure her daughter? Why wasn't she showing her face even now?
"Mom, Georgia's fine. We're in the bedroom. Georgia just went to the washroom, which is why I took the call for her. Don't worry. She'll appear on-screen in a bit."
"What's with those reporters hurting Georgia at a hospital interview? There's lots of online commentary and none of it seems right? Tell me, was this an accident, or is someone after my daughter?"
"There's people spreading rumors online and Georgia and I have found out who it was. We've given her a lesson these past two days. The reporter was bought off, but his mental condition is a bit twisted for him to do what he did to Georgia. I've sent that person to prison too. Don't worry. Georgia and I have resolved this. She's not hurt too badly. Three stitches, and she left after three days in hospital. It's been two days since her discharge, actually."
After Robert said that, Casey somewhat relaxed.
Afterwards, Georgia got out of the washroom. She'd already arranged the makeup on her face so that her eyes didn't look like they'd cried.
She appeared in the video even looking energetic, and Casey loosened completely.
