Kayden eventually decided that the two should not see each other. The more certain she was of Aston's feelings, the more she berated herself for what she had done in the past, and the less she wanted to expose herself to Aston in such a way that would hurt her pride.
There was no way a proud person like her could let go of this, and there was no way she could be indifferent to her image in front of the people she loved.
"I will respect your decision and I will always wait for you."
After this, Kayden voluntarily hung up the video call.
She suddenly hugged herself to her knees and cried silently on the bed. She had always been strong, and even after all the things she had encountered before, she had never cried.
But now, she couldn't help but shed tears and want to cry out loud.
Georgia had been informed that Kayden and Aston had already met online once and had a talk.
It was after 3 p. m. Georgia continued to work with Antonio after learning about this.
By the time it was a little after 4 pm, Riley approached them with some people.
"All those volunteers will be coming over today. How are you guys coming along? Is it ready for clinical trials?"
"It will take another week. I have to eliminate as many of the side effects as I can determine."
Antonio spoke up voluntarily to Riley. He and Georgia had been immersed in work every day recently on the drug that had been researched to stimulate the nerves to regeneration.
The main drug ingredients had been worked out. But as a drug had that effect, it definitely had other side effects.
So the dosage and side effects needed to be studied before a conclusion could be reached.
"A week is not too long. I'll put those volunteers on base."
Georgia was suddenly a little curious as to what was going on with the people who had volunteered to participate in the clinical trial.
"Can I look at the profiles of the volunteers who are participating in this experiment?"
Georgia volunteered to ask Riley, who handed a document directly to Georgia.
Georgia looked at the document in her hand and found that there were more than twenty volunteers.
In one case, the doctors had declared his brain dead and the hospital no longer wanted to treat him, but his family was not giving up. Riley approached the family and asked them to take part in the trial to see if there was any last hope.
The man was 30 years old and the only child of his family. Both his girlfriend and his parents were making a last-ditch effort. In this case, it was really the last hope.
There was another volunteer who had been in a car accident and was disabled in both legs and now unable to stand up. He used to be an athlete, who had been disabled for almost 10 years and was having a terrible life. His family had passed away and he didn't have any friends, so he volunteered to sign up for this experiment.
There was also a man who had a problem with his spinal nerves and his whole body was paralyzed and immobile. He could only speak a little bit and was living a life that was so bad that his family and he volunteered to participate in this experiment.
There were other people in all sorts of situations. Either they were in a particularly serious condition or they were desperate enough to take part in this experiment to see if there was any last hope.
Georgia couldn't resist. She went to the places Riley had arranged to meet the volunteers in the afternoon and talked to them.
Most of the patients were mentally fit, except for the one who had been declared brain dead.
After talking to them, Georgia could ascertain that these people had not been coerced by their families, but had taken part of their own accord.
Georgia could not experience what it was like to live as a disabled person。
But she could imagine how desperate and inconvenient it was, so these people wanted to give it another try.
What if it worked? It was their only hope.
The worry in her mind gradually dissipated, while in fact, she was a little afraid that Riley would go straight to arrest some people who were less willing to participate in these experiments, or that some people would sign up for such experiments on behalf of their families for money, which would make her feel guilty that she was committing a crime.
Now at least if they tried, they could give these people hope, and that would be a good thing.
Georgia was leaving work in the afternoon when Elsie and Wilson called her out of the blue.
"Georgia, your men have arrived and Princess Anna has promised to return my sister to us today. Wilson and I are now about to leave and Princess Anna has now informed us to get ready. She hasn't said where yet and we don't know what she's planning."
"You guys take more people with you in case anything goes wrong. How come you guys didn't tell me before about Vanessa being rescued soon?"
"We have jet lag. I was going to tell you as soon as you got up. It's just that Wilson and I have been shopping with Adam in Svero all morning today and then I forgot to tell you about it."
"With his status, does Adam still shop?"
Georgia asked with amusement.
"I thought the man who was wanted worldwide was dangerous. How could he be so bold as to shop around?"
"He's got a lot of nerve. He's especially fun anyway. You can never imagine what kind of person he is. I'm going to have a nice chat with you when I get back."
It looked like Adam should be interesting.
Thinking that Adam was getting on well with Wilson and Elsie, Georgia asked tentatively.
"You guys brought Vanessa back today. Do you want Adam's men to help? I think he is very strong and no one dares to go against him... I reckon even Alfred wouldn't dare."
"Georgia, you're right. Why didn't I think of that? I was always worried before that picking my sister up might be a problem. If I had asked Adam for help, I don't believe those people from Svero would have dared to do anything to my sister. Whether it was Princess Anna, Alfred or the Chow family, or the King, they would have been obedient. I was so stupid. Why didn't I think of such things?"
"I thought Adam was badly approached and that it would be difficult to get him to help with something like this. But I hear you as if you're on good terms, so you try asking it. I think with him in the back as your support, Vanessa will come back smoothly."
Elsie nodded when Georgia finished.
"Georgia, I'll hang up the video call and go talk to Wilson about this. It should work out. I'm just too stupid. I have to cherish the last moments right away before I don't get to see Adam."
With that, Elsie hung up the video call quickly and then immediately darted over to Wilson who was sitting in the living room.
"Princess Anna hasn't told us to go out yet either, nor has she said where but just told us to get ready. Wilson, how about we go and see Adam now? If Adam steps in to protect us and help us bring my sister back, I don't believe anything will happen in the process. At least the King of Svero and Princess Anna will surely be obedient."
"You don't trust my abilities so much?"
Wilson asked Elsie, somewhat perplexed, and Elsie was instantly a little apologetic, but she persisted in speaking up.
"I just feel uneasy and always feel more secure in getting a little more people. Adam trusts you so much. I feel like he really means it, and treats you like a friend, and treats me well. And judging by the way the King and Princess Anna look, they would never dare to provoke Adam in front of him. With him around, I think there's less chance of something going wrong."
"Wilson, it's not that I don't trust your abilities, but my sister is too important to me for anything to go wrong."
"Okay, I'll give him a call."
"We don't need to approach him personally on this matter. I'll just make a call."
After all, it was his future wife's request, and he couldn't just ignore it.
It wouldn't hurt to bring more or fewer people with him. Adam's name was enough to keep the King and Princess Anna obedient without him going.
Elsie probably didn't understand what Adam's name meant, and Wilson just had no choice but to call Adam and talk about it.
