Chapter 382 Sibling Quarrel
Chapter 382 Sibling Quarrel
Georgia’s warning came out hasty, and she regretted it after she spoke up.
She knew that Jason was just joking around, and even if things got real, it wouldn’t be serious at all.
But she was afraid of the one-in-a-million chance that something went wrong.
Ivan and Jason both showed a confused look. They exchanged a befuddled look, but Jason smoothed things over.
“Since you’re saying all that, Georgia, then I’ll let you off this time, Robert my guy. I’m telling you, that’s for Georgia. If you lie to your brothers like this again and go face danger alone, I’ll really turn on you.”
Robert hurriedly apologized.
“It’s my fault. I’m sorry.”
Annie hadn’t seen Elsie for the full night. She took Elsie’s hand and dragged her to the park to play on the swing.
Without the presence of a child in the house, Ivan turned to Georgia and Robert.
“Starting from yesterday, I’ve been feeling like something’s wrong between you two, but Georgia had a fever last night, and Robert was taking care of her by the side all the while, so I couldn’t ask about it. But it’s even stranger today, talking about some full body check. Tell me the truth, you two – what’s happened?”
Jason chimed in curiously as well.
“Are there unresolved issues, Robert? If there’s new trouble, don’t worry, just tell me how I can help.”
Robert sighed helplessly, and Georgia’s expression was sorrowful as she answered Ivan.
“Yesterday, I went with Robert to see Sierra. She’s still being held in the dungeon. Ivan, you know about this too. She revealed to me that Robert’s been kept in a lab over the past year for a period of time, where they performed human experiments on him. This is too serious. I have to have Robert go through a full checkup, to see if there’s any lingering symptoms from the experiments. If we can fix it early on, that’d be fine. I’m just worried if anything unexpected happens.”
At that, both Jason and Ivan’s expressions went slack with horror.
“Whoever the rat bastard is who shut you in that lab, I’m going to skin him alive!”
Jason snarled, and Robert smiled at him.
“It’s probably Jayson Mathis, who escaped yesterday, and Sierra. But I’m speculating that that lab is one that’s been invested in by Jayson’s people.”
“That Jayson strapped a bomb to himself and ran away. I can’t believe he was willing to take you all down with him. How could you let him go?”
Jason wasn’t having it. Simply thinking of Robert being shut in a lab for a year and experimented on, of course he understood the intricacies. It must have been inhumane torture.
And it was his own good friend suffering all that. He wanted to rush in front of Jayson and execute him at gunpoint.
Seeing Jason so furious, Georgia felt an infectious rage.
“You’re right, Jason. Jayson got away yesterday, but if we recapture him, we’ll do exactly unto him as he’s done to Robert. I’ll show him what it means to be better off dead.”
Georgia’s tone and expression were determined, and Jason nodded.
“You’re right, Georgia. We need to teach this sort of person a lesson. I don’t do this sort of thing, but I have ways to put someone in one of those sick human experiments.”
Ivan, though, was just worried.
“Do you know what’s been done to you at all, Robert? Is there anything off with your body right now?”
Ivan was a doctor himself and knew how serious it was.
If it had been a simple human experiment, maybe just recovering slowly would do.
But it was possible those mad scientists had used radical medication, or used his body to test figures for poison, or even used all sorts of unimaginable methods to test for disease treatments.
Nobody’s body could stand up to such a situation.
Faced with everyone’s worry, Robert didn’t know how to comfort them.
Even he didn’t know what experiments had been conducted on him.
He suspected that he’d lost a part of the memories where they were experimenting on him, but he didn’t want to worry everyone by saying that.
Especially Georgia, who’d already guessed of so many possibilities. Robert even suspected her speculation was true.
Georgia had already gotten a fever from worrying over this yesterday. Robert didn’t want everyone to panic even more.
“It shouldn’t have been anything serious. Aren’t I talking with you perfectly fine right now? My body’s not showing any strange signs, either. Let’s go. Since Georgia’s saying I have to go do a checkup, I’m
free today and I’ve already notified the hospital. By then, we’ll see if there’s any unusual figures in my body’s condition.”
Georgia was happy with that much, and stood, speaking to Jason and Ivan.
“It’s fine if you two want to stay and play with Annie or go home. I’m going to check with Robert at the hospital and probably won’t be back until the afternoon.”
Jason stood up, chuckling.
“I came to see you today anyway, and I’ve only just come from hospital. I saw Jasper in the morning. We’d wanted to put Robert through a bit of hell and have him know what the result is for lying to us, but with the way things are now, let’s go and see Jasper together. That guy’s been concerned about you, even if he’s not happy with how you lied to us. He’s stayed alone in hospital for way too long. He’d be overjoyed to see you.”
Georgia nodded. Ivan stayed in the house and helped look after Annie and Elsie.
As for Wilson, he left after taking Elsie to the mansion.
The few got in a car and drove off the hospital. The car had just arrived, and the director was already waiting outside with a full welcoming committee.
Georgia took Robert’s hand and got out, while Jason exited the car from the other end.
The director led the group to the penthouse and the checkup began.
Naturally, this was the full VIP treatment for the boss.
Georgia didn’t feel like a regular checkup was enough, and had the hospital check every detail of every nook and cranny of Robert’s body. She also ordered them to send her the results as quickly as they
could.
With all the tests done, it had taken the full morning.
It was one p.m., and Jason had stayed with Robert all the while.
“Let’s go see Jasper and take him out to lunch. He’s been cooped up too long. With his condition, it’s fine to eat whatever.”
Robert nodded, and the group headed towards Jasper’s bedroom.
The moment the bedroom doors opened, Georgia saw Selena in the bedroom again. Selena’s eyes were red, having seemingly just cried.
Georgia felt it was a bit strange. Selena didn’t look well.
But because their group had arrived, the siblings hid their subtle emotions right away.
“You’re finally here. I’ve been waiting for you for so long. I’m starving to death.” NôvelDrama.Org © 2024.
Jasper smiled at them, while Selena stood up directly.
“Thank you for coming to visit my brother. I’m still busy, so I’ll see you next time.”
At that, Selena sprinted out the doorway. She looked like she was fleeing.
Jason spoke up curiously.
“Have you and Selena had a sibling quarrel? Did you yell at her again?”
