Chapter 553 Screaming In The Middle of The Night


    Georgia sat up and asked.


    "How long have I been asleep? Where are the kids?"


    "You''ve been asleep for almost four hours, and the kids are downstairs ying. Rick came over today


    to give them a day of lessons, but he won''t being over tomorrow. He''s got something going on at


    school."


    "It''s getting dark outside. When you get older, you can''t stand to stay up any longer and you must get a


    good night''s sleep to make up for it. Robert, you didn''t sleep with me?"


    "I slept for a couple of hours or so to get refreshed, and then helped you continue reading this


    information. I found out something strange."


    "What is it?"


    Georgia asked with interest.


    "Didn''t Alfred send over the information about the lost kid that the Chow family has been investigating


    over the years? I looked at the evidence and information that came out of the investigations over the


    years and found that they never went to the orphanage to look for him. Logically, the lost child is most


    likely to have been adopted by orphanages, but it is a bit strange to me that they have never checked


    the orphanages."


    Hearing what Robert had said, Georgia was interested too.


    "Are there any other leads?"


    "No more for now. Anyway, their search for the child just kept going back and forth from one ce to


    another, but they could never find any more evidence. There are so many people, and it''s really hard to


    find a child who was lost at birth."

    "Elsie and Wilson are supposed to have gone back to rest too. Have they called us again? I don''t know


    if Elsie can get a break or not. She looked too tired."


    "They''ve gone back, but they haven''t called you. I don''t know what''s going on either. Are you still going


    to work tomorrow? You''re worried about Vanessa''s condition and you have to go to work. Why don''t


    you take another day off tomorrow to rest at home."


    Robert was a little distressed.


    "That won''t work. "


    Georgia just shook her head.


    "Anyway, you''ve been keeping an eye on Vanessa for me and getting someone to look into her affairs. I


    can only send my men to spend their energy looking for Vanessa, and Isabel, and the Chow family''s


    feud, too. It''s best to find that lost child. But it''s not like I can do much to help. Since I have some free


    time, I''ll have to go to work at theb. As you know, Travis'' wedding is the day after tomorrow and I''ll


    have to take half a day off that day too. I''ve been dyed all day today. I don''t want to take another day


    off."


    "That''s fine if you decide. But if you''re really tired, then rest up at home. There are so many people at


    Riley''s experimental base, so you don''t have to hold out. By the way, I''m going to go there with you


    tomorrow. Riley wants to meet me to talk about it. Our cooperation has already started, but I have to


    negotiate with him on other specific details of the contract."


    "You and Riley already have an appointment about this? I hadn''t really thought of that."


    Georgia spoke up in surprise, while Robert smiled and nodded.


    "I was free any time, but Riley seems to be busy, so that''s why it''s scheduled for tomorrow. By the way,


    what happened to Aston after I picked you up unexpectedly that day? How did he get home


    afterward?"


    "Aston ended up deciding to stay inside theb. There are ts there, so he won''t be living back at my


    mother''s ce for a while."


    Speaking of this, Georgia remembered that yesterday Robert''s mother had talked to her mother. She


    turned to Robert and asked.


    "By the way, after your mother and my mother met, they didn''t get into any conflicts, did they?"


    "I don''t think so, but they drove everyone inside the house out at that time. When they went back in


    That put Georgia''s mind at ease. It had been a busy day for her, and she should have found time to


    visit her own mother.


    After a while, the housekeeper came up and called them down for dinner.


    After Georgia followed Robert to the dining room, Annie and Wesley were already seated.


    The chef quickly served the food, which was all the children''s favorite, and Georgia and Robert tried to


    tailor it to their tastes.


    They could be described as the typical kind of people who spoil their children very much.


    "Mummy, why haven''t I been able to video Vanessa for the past two days? Can I video with her today?


    I haven''t seen Sam or Vanessa for a long time."


    Annie, who was sitting at the table, surprisingly asked this out of the blue and Georgia instantly tensed


    up.


    "Vanessa has recently gone elsewhere for someone''s birthday party and is not avable for a while.


    She''s going to be in that country for a while. There are strict rules there, no casual inte use, and


    video calling isn''t very convenient. Can you video chat with her when shees home sometime


    Georgia made up a random reason to stop Annie from asking, and Annie just nodded strangely.


    It was particrly surprising to Annie that there were such strange ces in the world where the


    inte was still disconnected and no one could even be allowed to video chat.


    "Well then, I''ll just have to wait for Vanessa to get home."


    Annie finished with a sigh and Georgia became even more distraught.


    She didn''t know how much longer she could keep this under wraps. If Vanessa continued to disappear,


    the children would surely find out that something was wrong.


    She had to find a solution to the problem at hand.


    After dinner, she sheepishly told the children some stories and yed with them for a while.


    It wasn''t until the children were asleep that she and Robert went upstairs to bed.


    "Annie is very sensitive and if we keep putting it off for a few more days, she might realize something is


    wrong. And as parents, it''s not good for us to keep lying to our kids. How can I be an untrustworthy


    person in Annie''s mind?"


    Robert took his wife in his arms.


    "You go back to work at theb tomorrow. You can''t be part of the investigation into this either. I have a


    lot of men, Wilson has a lot of men, and Jason has transferred his men to me. We''re all investigating.


    Don''t worry. We''ll find them out."


    The two said when there was a sudden scream in the distance.


    Georgia''s face paled.


    "Is something wrong with Emilia? The sound seems to be hers."


    Emilia and Ivan were living inside the house at the back, which Georgia could asionally see.


    But she had been busy the past two days, plus Vanessa''s business, so she hadn''t paid much attention


    to Ivan and Emilia the past two days.


    Emilia was always under Ivan''s protection anyway, and she didn''t have the energy to care about her.


    The two rushed downstairs, and the children were awakened at this time.


    "Mummy, did something happen? That sound was so painful."


    "Daddy, what''s going on?"


    Annie and Wesley asked at the same time. Georgia and Robert just had to call the housekeeper and


    ask him to keep an eye on Annie and Wesley while they went to the back to see what was going on.


    "Annie, Wesley, your father and I will go out back and see what''s going on. There should be something


    wrong with your aunt. You two don''t have to worry about it, just lie in bed and y games or watch


    cartoons for a while. If you feel tired, go back to sleep. Don''t worry about me and your dad. And don''t


    you two go looking. This is something that children can''t solve. Will you be good kids who listen to


    Mummy, please?"


    "Mummy, Auntie sounded in pain. Are you sure you won''t let me and my brother go over there?"


    Georgia nodded affirmatively.


    "You two are too young to help. When you go, your father and I will have to protect you and won''t have


    the energy to do anything else then. You go inside the bedroom for now and the housekeeper will stay


    with you."


    Annie and Wesley were good children, and both Georgia and Robert refused, so they went back to bed


    with the housekeeper.


    And Georgia and Robert went to the back. At this point, they met up with Robert''s mother, Maisie.


    "Your cousin doesn''t look too promising. Let''s go together to the back and have a look."


    Georgia and Robert nodded, and then the three of them walked inside one of the innermost houses.


    That house was now entirely upied by Emilia and Ivan, and not even the maids went there during


    the day.


    Only if Ivan had to go to the toilet, or had to go out, or if he had toe somewhere else, would he ask


    someone to watch Emilia for a while.
