"So, you said that you have something important to tell Robert and me. We're here now, what it is?"
Sarah laughed bitterly.
"I don't want to ask for your forgiveness as I'm indeed a prideful and selfish person. But I want to ask about Travis. What's his condition? Is he okay now?"
"His injury is healing, but there's still poison in his body. I don't know what Eric did to Travis. The report isn't out yet. We have to wait until either tomorrow afternoon or the day after tomorrow. I hope that everything is fine with Travis, but the doctor told us because of this, they can't predict when he's going to regain consciousness."
Sarah lowered her head and started crying. She was desolated and looked extremely dreary.
Georgia felt sorry for her, but she couldn't tell if Sarah was putting up an act. Maybe Sarah was still working with someone else in the dark and was trying to deceit them. Right now, she shouldn't easily believe everything Sarah said.
To her, Robert's life and safety was her top priority. Sarah deceived her once and hence Georgia told herself that she shouldn't feel pity for her.
"It's all my fault. I was diagnosed with breast cancer not long ago. I thought I was going to die soon and hence I proposed to Travis. I wanted to have him as my husband before I die. It turned out that I didn't have breast cancer, it was just a benign tumour, but I didn't tell Travis the truth. Travis agreed to marry me. He said that we should share weal and woe and believe each other. He will be nice to me and will try to fall in love with me."
"I thought that I have finally achieved my happiness."
Sarah looked up when she said that. She was crying a river.
Georgia only then understood the reason behind their sudden marriage.
She didn't say anything. She didn't know what to say to Sarah. Sarah then started to talk again as if she was mumbling to herself.
"Two days before the wedding, I told Travis the truth, I told him that I lied, that it was a benign tumour. I was afraid that if he found out after the wedding, it would ruin the trust between us very badly. Travis didn't blame me at all, he even comforted me. He was happy that it was a benign tumour since it was treatable. He was happy for me and didn't mind that I lied to him before this. He even promised me that he would try to forget about you and start loving me."
"At that time, I thought that I'm the happiest person alive. I wasn't afraid even when I got the news that someone would come to mess with my wedding. I wanted to have a perfect wedding. On the second day, some incidents occurred but I handled them smoothly. I thought that I would be the happiest person in the world. But never did I think that Eric was scheming so many things behind my back. His goal wasn't me. He kidnapped Travis to complete his master plan."
"Georgia, I don't want to apologize because it will feel fake. Even if I have another chance to choose between Robert and Travis, I will choose Travis without any hesitation."
"Do you think that by being honest, I will let you leave or let you go?"
Georgia scoffed. She didn't like what Sarah was saying, even though she knew that Sarah was telling the truth. Sarah lowered her head and chuckled.
"Georgia, if Eric kidnapped both Robert and Travis, and let you choose one person that he should keep alive, I don't believe that you would choose Travis. He would be holding a gun against those two and you wouldn't be able to do anything. Under that circumstances, you will choose Robert. But that's normal. So, I don't want to ask for your forgiveness. I just want to tell you that that's the situation I'm in right now. Eric sent me a video. In the video, he was pressing a knife against Travis and was injecting drugs into him. He was hurting Travis' body. If I didn't agree with him, he would stab the knife right into his heart. I didn't have a choice."
"Georgia, this time, I'm in the wrong. But no matter what, Travis being alive is my top priority. I'm in regret. If I knew that Eric would make use of my wedding to kidnap Travis, I wouldn't have proposed to Travis. Then all of these wouldn't happen. I wouldn't have to face such a difficult situation."
"It's no use crying over spilt milk. What you're saying right now means nothing to me. So, what if I stand in your shoes and understand your situation? You weren't planning to figure out another way to solve the problem from the start. If the same thing happens again, you will without a doubt choose to sacrifice Robert again. What's your point in calling me here? If you just want to convince me to let you go to meet Travis, then I'll clarify it with you right now. When Travis regains his consciousness, I will ask what he thinks. If he wants to see you, I'll bring him over. Also, I still don't know if you're still working together with Eric or not. I need to check on you thoroughly, to see if you're still hiding something from us. I'm sorry, but I can't let you go right now."
Sarah sobbed upon hearing what Georgia said.
"Travis will never wake up. Eric told me that the poison he injected into Travis would make him be in a slumber forever. I just want to see his face for the very last time. Can you bring me to the hospital?"
"I beg you. I really want to see him."
Georgia felt sorry for her, but Robert grabbed her hand.
"Gigi is very clear about it. We still need to check if you're still working together with someone else. We need to know if we'll endanger the people around us if we let you go. Sarah, you said that you have something important to tell us, that's why we're here. So, is this the important issue you're talking about?"
"Otherwise, we'll be taking out leave. I'll move you to a different place with a better environment. I will talk to the Duran family and your father. This wouldn't affect your work and career."
Robert grabbed Georgia's hand and left after saying that. Sarah quickly said.
"Jayson contacted me. He said if this plan fails, he still wants to work with me one more time. He wants me to trick you guys to fall into his schemes. Jayson will come to me if he finds out that I told you guys about this. You guys can then figure out a way to entrap him instead. If this works out, can you let me see Travis? If this goes well, can we take it as my atonement?"
What she said caught Robert's and Georgia's interest.
"What did Jayson tell you to do?"
Robert asked nonchalantly. Sarah lowered her head and laughed bitterly again.
"He told me that if I failed to dupe you guys into his plan today, he will initiate plan B, which is tricking you into leaving this area so that I can bring your children away. Then you and Georgia couldn't do anything but go to him because of the children. They already planted a spy among you guys. I don't know who it is, but if I contact them, I may be able to find out who the mole is."
Georgia's face turned dark.
"What's the plan? What else are they planning to do?"
Georgia was anxious and scared since this involved her children. She sounded serious, but Sarah just laughed bitterly again.
"He only told me to figure out something. Then, they would think of a way to get the mole to work with me and bring your children away. Right now, we still haven't got to that part. They probably didn't think that you guys would lock me up like this. Right now, I can't contact Jayson. But if you guys let go of me, I will be able to contact Jayson. I can then act like I'm still helping him with his plans. With this, I can find out who this mole is."
"Georgia, Robert. I don't think you guys will want someone by your side who you trust to kidnap your children and put them in danger. I told you guys the truth just because I want to see Travis. Travis is my utmost priority, he's rescued now and there's nothing else I can hope for. Please believe me."
