Chapter 379 The Torment in the Lab
Georgia responded in kind. Having worried for a while day and with the dust settled, all her longing, love and worry dissolved in those intimate motions.
In a haze, the two melted into each other’s essence.
Finally, when the tumultuous affairs of the bedroom ended, Georgia was too tired to even move.
Robert picked her up to the bathroom to clean her up. After getting dressed, Robert handed her a glass of water.
Georgia started ribbing him straight away.
“You’re getting more and more shameless, lying to our daughter, telling her you had important business with me. You think it’s easy to bully children, huh?”
“Didn’t you get pretty excited too?”
Robert chuckled provocatively. Georgia blushed.
“That was a normal reaction.”
Saying that, Georgia felt a twinge of doubt.
It had taken a year for them to get this close together.
Without any cares, without any worries, truly embracing each other fully without any fears left.
“I’m happy and satisfied like this, Robert. From now on, let’s never get involved in anything dangerous unless we have to. Otherwise, I can’t ever accept you leaving me for so long, or even coming back and forgetting me again.”
Robert thought about what had happened today. If it had been before, he might have risked trying to capture Jayson.
But now he had somebody to worry about.
So he couldn’t gamble and face up against Jayson, to test if he’d take them all down with him.
“I won’t. If I can still survive, from now on, I’ll keep on living until I come back to you. I want to grow old with you and watch Annie grow up, get married herself.”
The two held each other intimately and spoke their loving words.
After a long while, Georgia asked a question out of curiosity. Content © NôvelDrama.Org.
“What happened today?”
Robert slowly explained what had happened during the day.
Georgia was both nervous and fearful at hearing it all, until Robert finished, and she gave him a rewarding kiss.
“That was the right thing to do today. You were sure it was Jayson Mathis behind the scenes, and he’s lost everything. There was no need to bet on the bomb not going off with your own life. Coming back to me and your daughter was the most important thing.”
Robert was all the more pleased with her praise.
“See? Haven’t I learned to watch my step now? I would have hated to see myself like this before, but now I feel that it’s especially because I have people waiting for me that I can do things more cautiously and spend more time with you and Annie. I’ve got enough money. There’s no longer any need to expand my business and fight to the death with somebody else.”
The two chatted that far, and Georgia asked another question.
“Forget Jayson for now. Even if you didn’t move, that Brenton and Sarah you spoke of definitely won’t let him go. He’ll spend the rest of his days hiding away like a rat without managing to take revenge on us. But what do you plan to do with Sierra? Haven’t you brought her back? Where is she now?”
“I’ve locked her in the basement with bodyguards watching her. Don’t worry.”
“What about in the future? What do you plan to do with her?”
“I want to check and see if she’s Emma Lane. I’ve already found Flora overseas and taken a blood test. By then, if the DNA report comes out, I can confirm her identity. Everything she’s done this year, changing her face and identity, we can’t put her in prison anymore. I haven’t thought about how to deal with her. I still have to interrogate her and clear up the parts where I’m still in the dark.”
“You say to clear things up, do you mean how much she’s lied to you over this year? Do you want to get a good picture of the past year’s events from her?”
Robert nodded at her.
“I’ve already confirmed that the person behind her is Jayson, but I’m still not sure about some things. I can only force her to speak, so I’ll have to keep her confined for a while. Don’t worry. I won’t let it go too far.”
“Let’s go see her. I’m sure she’ll be furious seeing me now, and angry people don’t choose their words. Let’s see what they say.”
Robert nodded, then followed Georgia to the basement.
Sierra was tied up and kept in a kennel, which confused Georgia a bit.
Even though Robert definitely wouldn’t show any pity to someone like Sierra, seeing her being treated like this, she felt like it wasn’t Robert’s style.
“You might not know what I’ve been through this past year. I was kept in this type of dog kennel once, then Sierra appeared and saved me. I was thankful then, but thinking about it, she was probably the one who’d shut me in there in the first place. That’s why I wanted her to remember what happened before.”
That brought Georgia to a rage. She couldn’t even picture how Sierra had tortured Robert over the past year.
After all, if Sierra Moon was actually Emma Lane, she must hate Robert with every fiber of her being, and probably tortured him while he didn’t know and appeared in the guise of his savior. It was disgusting and angering just thinking about it.
“Doesn’t matter how you take revenge on her. I think anything is reasonable at this point.”
As the two spoke, Sierra jerked back to consciousness.
She looked at the couple before her and sneered.
“You’ve won now, you pair of slimeballs, so you’re coming to laugh at me, eh?”
Georgia walked right over and slapped her across the face.
“I’m telling you, run your mouth again, and I’ll make you wish for death. I’ve studied a lot of things in the lab. Some drugs can be injected to cause agony across the entire body. You’d best not test my patience!”
At that, Sierra simply roared with laughter.
“Before you threaten me, Georgia, you’d best ask Robert what he’d experienced over the past year while being shut in the lab. Dealing with me like that might trigger some painful memories in him. Oh, that’s right, back then, I left Robert’s body inside the lab to be experimented on. Even I don’t know how long that body of his can stay by your side. You’d best take him for a full checkup in case he drops dead just a few days after your reunion.
“It’d be really fun to plan another funeral!”
