Of course, this time, Robert wasn't spending his time in the room they'd gone to, but a unit purposely built in the back like a hospital, with dedicated rooms, surgery tools, drugs, nurses, and surgeons there.
But they weren't going through regular treatments in the hospital, rather injecting them with all sorts of drugs. Some people had hurt themselves unable to bear the pain, and the doctors were bandaging their wounds.
Robert was unconscious throughout, but when Antonio arranged the room and Georgia was still in the grips of despair, Robert opened his eyes.
His voice was hoarse and his eyes were unfocused, but his voice was gentle.
He grabbed Georgia hand by his bedside right away.
"Don't worry, Mrs. Simpson, Mr. Simpson can still make it. Don't cry; you'll hurt me if you cry..."
"Robert, you're finally awake..."
Georgia jolted, then hugged Robert and burst into tears.
"You scared me to death. How is your body? Does it hurt anywhere? Does it feel sick anywhere? They fixed your external wounds in the hospital, but your hormones and blood composition are abnormal. They couldn't help you. I've brought you over to Antonio's side, but I don't know what to do, Robert. I'm so useless. Why can't I fix you? Why did I have to put you through so much pain? If it hadn't been to save me, you wouldn't have been taken to Jayson's lab to be tortured, and you wouldn't have been targeted by Eric. It's all my fault..."
Georgia sobbed harder and harder. Robert almost didn't have the strength to speak, but he still took Georgia's hand and comforted her.
"Mrs. Simpson, my silly wife. Don't blame yourself; how is it your fault? It just feels hot inside me. Do I have a fever? Don't worry, it's not serious. I can feel it. I'll get better after this fever ends. You have to trust my instincts. I said I was going to grow old together with you. See how much I've been through already. I can make it this time too."
Georgia continued to cry as she spoke.
"You said it. You're going to make it. I'll fix your body together with Antonio, and you have to make it. If you could survive off willpower, you have to follow through with your promise this time. Or else I'll marry someone else and have the two kids call someone else Daddy. Don't think I won't do it!"
Georgia threatened, all while sobbing like a child, her face scrunching up.
Robert chuckled.
"Give me a kiss, like in the fairy tales, and I'll make it. I feel like I don't have the energy to speak anymore. Before I drift off, could Mrs. Simpson give her Mr. Simpson a kiss? I think that if I see you in my dreams, I'll be able to survive. Trust me."
Whimpering, Georgia bent her head and kissed Robert on the cheek.
Soon, Antonio brought a nurse over, and Georgia watched on as he injected something into Robert's body.
Not long afterwards, Robert closed his eyes and fell asleep.
"What did you inject him with?"
Georgia turned worriedly to Antonio.
"Something that'll lower his adrenaline levels. There seems to be some stimulant inside his body speeding up his heartrate bit by bit. It'll cause arrythmia and irregular circulation across the body. I have to keep that from happening. A patient had gone through the same thing on my end as well. Don't worry, this treatment is fine."
"Then what should we do from now on? How much of this condition have you seen before? Will the equilibrium of his body be broken?"
Robert had a fever right now, and Georgia was terrified for it. A person's immune system was especially weak while they had fevers, and they could be infected with a lot of viruses. She was worried it would happen to Robert.
"Mr. Simpson's condition is similar to some people who've been here before, but for those people, their organs were at the end of their rope. Even if I could control their abnormal hormones and blood, the cancer cells were going to spread anyway and continue to cause organ failure. There's no cure. But hadn't Mr. Simpson just gone to the hospital? The cancers are spreading over this period of time, but so are the anticancer substances in his body. So we have to give Mr. Simpson organic injections and enough nutrition to let his body fight against the furiously spreading cancer cells. The body doesn't absorb as well in a fever, so I'll have to inject him on my end to maintain the equilibrium.
"Don't worry. It'll be stable for now. He's just been taken for several days and I don't know if they injected him with anything serious. I still have to check with my lab tools. That's that for now."
Georgia could only dip her head in sorrow. To keep Robert's body from becoming infected, they took him to an ICU-like sterile room in Antonio's place.
Georgia didn't stay in the room with Robert. At a time like this, she needed to be calm and to deal with the situation at hand.
Having committed fully to the rivalry with Eric in the lab, the two of them were hated enemies now.
After this, Eric was going to take revenge, or even continue to try to capture Robert. In a situation like this, she could only push her advantage and cut Eric and the Wimbledons to the quick.
Otherwise, when Eric's side had had the time to recover, he was going to move on Robert and her.
Ivan and Jason both agreed that Jason and Ivan were going to cooperate outside with numerous previous enemies of the Wimbledon family.
They put the money and effort on the line to have the investigation team expose the entire truth.
In the days and nights that Robert was unconscious, the investigation team posted their report online, exposing the issue of the Wimbledon family's underground human experimentation.
It wasn't the leaks from before, but the actual results of an investigation.
With that, the Albertson Group was mired in scandal, and their market value continued to drop. Anti-Albertson movements were set off across the world.
Plenty of places that had subscribed to Albertson medications announced that they were going to stop and switch to other similar medications from other groups.
In a lot of other countries and regions, they supplied enough capital for massive anti-Albertson protests, and in some places, they even offered money for others to choose medications from other companies.
Cooperating with them all, the companies were about to squeeze the Albertson Group's ownership percentage in the world lower and lower, until they were completely suppressed.
It was a tidal force. The pie was so big on the market that the moment the Albertson Group become a public target, other equal or smaller companies also jumped in on tit.
The market was out for blood, and without Georgia and gang's intervention, those groups were already going to furiously start slandering the Albertson Group just for a slice of that pie.
As for the Wimbledon family, other sections of their industries were also faced with protests and marches. Everyone wanted the government to dole out some punishment, and give justice to the people who'd been shut in there as subjects.
And so anti-Wimbledon movements also rose up across the world.
After a week of this going on, the Wimbledon family was forced to apologize, while Georgia couldn't settle down.
Robert had been unconscious for a while week, and his condition wasn't stable yet, going in and out of a high fever.
Georgia didn't know what to do. She conducted tests with Antonio every day and all sorts of experiments, investigating all sorts of cancer treatment substances, Robert's physical condition, and his hematology data.
But the two of them weren't doctors. They didn't know how to treat Robert.
Even if they were doctors, those people were at a loss as well.
Robert's current condition was unique and unheard of.
Nobody knew what to do to keep him alive and restore him to normal.
Just when Georgia felt like she couldn't take it, she received a call from Riley.
