The two began to shut their eyes. Robert inched closer to Georgia, and the two fell asleep slowly,
holding each other.
Georgia couldn’t sleep well.
But she didn’t want Robert to stay awake like her, so she held her breath and forced herself to sleep.
Finally, she fell into a drowsy slumber.
In the morning, Georgia woke first, while Robert was still sleeping.
Georgia left the bedroom sneakily.
She went downstairs, planning on making breakfast in the kitchen.
The servants had woken as well, and seeing Georgia cook, they got ready to help.
Georgia, though, stopped them and had them go out to get the groceries she needed.
She planned on making egg noodles for Robert, Annie and Ivan.
After busying herself in the kitchen, Georgia saw Annie come in.
“What are you making this morning, Mommy?”
“Just some egg noodles, nice and simple. Anything you want, Annie?”
“Mommy’s noodles are delish. No need for anything else, I’ll be full after one bowl.”
After that, Annie asked curiously.
“Why isn’t Daddy awake yet? Should I go wake him up? How could Daddy sleep in alone like this!”
Annie was a little pouty, while Georgia smiled.
“Your Daddy stayed up late last night and didn’t sleep well. Don’t disturb him. Let him sleep. When I
finish these noodles, he’ll probably be up too.”
“Okay. If Daddy didn’t sleep well, he should get some good sleep now. I won’t disturb him.”
With that, Annie bounded to the garden and started playing on the swing.
She seemed to have fallen in love with that swing. Georgia could hear her joyous laughter as she
swung around outside.
She finished chopping up some onions, then started boiling water.
With prep done, Georgia walked out the kitchen.
She saw Ivan, already washed, standing before the gigantic glass window outside the first floor dining
room, where one could see the entire garden outside the mansion.
Georgia walked over and stood at Ivan’s side.
“Yesterday night, I saw you and Robert standing outside the garden. You were there on the swing in the
beginning, then Robert came up behind you quietly. You stayed like that for half an hour. Georgia, I
think you know how Robert feels towards you. And we all know how much you love Robert as well. I’ve
heard too – last night, did you go interrogate Sierra Moon? What did she say?”
Ivan’s tone was heavy.
Georgia was a researcher into killing cancer cells, and regarding the biology and medicine she’d
learned, Ivan had learned almost the exact same things as well.
Generally speaking, the two had learned almost the same things, with many identical points of study.
Except, of course, for Ivan’s specialty in surgery, which was something Georgia didn’t understand.
But concerning basic knowledge, the two were neck and neck.
So Ivan understood full well what those underground human experimentation labs meant.
It meant unimaginable darkness and pain.
“She told me everything and admitted to me that she was Emma Lane.”
“So she really is Emma Lane. I thought she’d fixed her face with surgery.”
Ivan smiled, but there wasn’t much of a smile in his eyes.
“If Emma had up and died outright, maybe all this wouldn’t have happened later on. But the world likes
playing cruel jokes.”
Georgia smiled bitterly as well, then continued.
“I asked Travis first and had him tell me what sort of research went on in that lab. Generally, it was
nerve repair and regeneration. You know that Robert’s legs had been injured and his nerves had been
damaged. It would have taken the top neurosurgeons of the world multiple operations to recover the
use of his legs, but he could stand up now because he’d gone through drug tests for nerve
regeneration and repair.
“Not only that, but he’d also taken part in other experiments in the lab. Sierra told me that his will had
been too strong for their hypnosis to work, so they’d injected him with all sorts of drugs to try to get him
addicted, then coming under their power… but because of the chemicals meant to induce nerve repair
they’d injected into him and those other drugs, coupled with the mess they’d made of his system
experimenting on him, it ended up causing his body to develop resistance, so their plan failed, and
those mad scientists in the lab developed a huge interest in his body.
“He’d taken part in almost every form of research conceivable in that lab. Any subject you can think of
that modern scientific research teams show interest in, they’d probably tested for in those drug tests as
well. And the chemical contents and concentration in those drugs have to have their own issues, so I
can’t even imagine what state Robert’s body is in right now. I just hope that it’s not as serious as we
think.”
As Georgia finished, Ivan suddenly slammed a fist into the wall next to him, looking furious.
“When I catch Jayson Mathis, I’m going to make him suffer.”
Georgia felt her heart ache as she comforted Ivan.
“The two of us can’t act too sad or angry. I don’t want Robert to suffer with us as well. He’s already
been optimistic in front of us, so we can’t drag him into our dark moods, right? We can’t. Hurry up and
settle yourself. You’ll be down later.
“I know. Don’t worry. I know what to do before Robert. Don’t worry too much yourself. There’s plenty of
people who have unusual abilities in this world. Robert’s experienced all that, but he’s still so lively and
at least looks healthy. Maybe he’s got some special ability as well. We have to have faith. If there really
are problems with Robert’s body, we can think of our own ways to cure him.”
Georgia smiled and nodded. She walked back into the kitchen, opened the lid to the water that was
about to boil, and put the noodles in.
Then she started beating eggs, getting breakfast ready.
The process continued for a dozen or so minutes, and she finished the egg noodles.
She had the servants come over to help take the noodles she’d made outside.
Then she took off her apron and walked to the second floor bedroom.
Walking in, Robert had finished showering and was getting dressed and ready to go downstairs.
Georgia walked over, smiling.
“Nice timing. I just made breakfast. Get dressed and we can eat downstairs. Annie and Ivan are waiting
below.”
She got ready to turn and go downstairs, but Robert pulled her hand in place.
“This is the first day of our married life. Isn’t a wife supposed to tie her husband’s tie and fix up his
appearance.”
Georgia showed a gentle smile.
“What Mr. Simpson says goes. As his wife, of course I’m going to tie my handsome husband’s tie and
have him bedazzling everyone out there.”
“Aren’t you worried I’ll attract mistresses after I go bedazzling people out there?”
Robert smiled, while Georgia laughed.
“If you have the nerve to do that, I’ll sic laundry on you. You can’t escape me!”
The two bantered about, and when Georgia was done tying his tie, she arranged his clothes as well.
Afterwards, the two went downstairs to eat, holding hands.
Breakfast, of course, was a happy affair. Robert turned to Georgia, compliments abound.
“Mrs. Simpson makes great breakfast. From now on, Mr. Simpson is going to leave breakfast all to Mrs.
Simpson.”
“That’s where you’re wrong. You should become a chef, learn all my tricks of the trade, and make
breakfast for me and Annie every morning from now on.”
Robert hurriedly nodded, all serious.
“What Mrs. Simpson says goes. I’ll study hard.”
The two giggled, while Annie started complaining.
“Mommy, Daddy, you’re too cringey, I can’t take it.”
Robert laughed out loud.
Finishing breakfast, they’d been planning on staying at home all morning and going to the hospital in
the afternoon to wait for the test results.
But then, Professor Lee gave Georgia a call.
“That's where you’re wrong. You should become a chef, learn all my tricks of the trade, and make

“Mommy, Daddy, you're too cringey, | can’t take it.”
Robert laughed out loud.
