Pregnant With Twins: My CEO’s Tricky Love

Chapter 439 Sarah’s Deal

“Lie there for the moment. The doctors say they have to check you when you wake up. I’ll call them over. Be right back.”

Wilson said that and left, and Elsie was left to steam.

The way she saw it, that was a polite refusal. Seemed like she’d thought too much of it.

Elsie sighed, feeling a bit depressed.

After a while, the door was opened.

She watched as Georgia and Robert filed in with Annie and Wesley.

The kids rushed in front of her bed and took her hands on either side.

“You’re finally awake, Auntie Elsie. Last night was so scary.” NôvelDrama.Org: text © owner.

Annie said that, while Wesley chimed in.

“Are you hurting anywhere, Auntie Elsie? How do you feel?”

Being fawned on by two kids like this, Elsie’s depressed mood temporarily faded, and she beamed at the children.

“I’m born lucky and always managed to turn danger around. Don’t worry, I’m fine. Once I rest up for a few days in the hospital, I’ll be up and kicking again.”

Hearing Elsie say that, Georgia smiled with relief. Seemed like Elsie was fine. She walked over and spoke to her.

“Since you’re this energetic, I can relax. I haven’t told Vanessa about this yet. Do you want me to tell her?”

The incident had occurred in the middle of the night, and Georgia didn’t want to call Vanessa in the small hours and make her worry.

She hadn’t told Vanessa this morning, either. She felt like Elsie needed to agree to it.

“Let’s leave it. Vanessa’s taking care of her child every day, and she’ll be really worried knowing I was hurt. I’m out of danger now, and I can just go over to G City to see her after a while. It’s been a long time, and she must be missing us. Do you want to come with me?”

As Elsie said that, Annie chimed in next to her mother.

“I haven’t seen Auntie Vanessa for a while. I want to see Auntie Vanessa too.”

“After I’m done with my overseas business, let’s all go to G City and see Vanessa.”

Just as Georgia finished, Robert spoke from behind.

“We might not be able to keep it from Vanessa. The incident’s made the news. Our names weren’t revealed, but I’m worried Vanessa will catch wind anyway. She might call you by then.”

“If Vanessa does catch wind of it, we’ll explain it by then. Let’s not give it out ourselves for now. If she knew, she wouldn’t be able to resist coming over to meet us. With all the chaos we’re in, we might not be able to keep her safe if she came. It’s best for her to stay in the dark.”

As Georgia said that, Elsie nodded too.

While they spoke, the doctors and nurses came and ran a check on Elsie’s body.

She’d just woken up, after all, and they needed to check to see if there were issues anywhere.

Georgia and the kids stood to the side and waited for the doctors to finish their inspection. Everything turned out normal and everyone heaved a sigh of relief.

Afterwards, Wilson brought Elsie breakfast. The two didn’t speak, and the atmosphere was strange between them.

Then, right after that, another person came into the bedroom.

This time, it was Travis.

And another person Georgia hadn’t expected arrived as well. Sarah was here.

Georgia knew that Travis must be here to visit her.

After letting Travis and Sarah greet Elsie, Georgia took the two to her room.

Elsie had only just woken up, and with too many people babbling around her, it’d affect her rest.

Georgia let the two kids stay with Elsie’s room and brought Travis and Sarah to her own room.

“I’d wanted to come to the hospital to visit you yesterday, but I had business in another city, so I could only see you today. I saw on the news that something happened. What’s that about?”

Travis came in and immediately asked concerned questions.

Georgia greeted Sarah, then explained things in brief.

After the explanation, Travis frowned.

“If they’re targeting Wilson, and they sent that many people, it’s definitely a huge grudge. Doesn’t Wilson have any suspects?”

Georgia chuckled, then sighed.

“It’s not that you don’t know what Wilson used to do. He himself says he’s lost count of how many people want him dead. We can only keep digging on this. After the identities of the attackers last night are revealed, there might be some clues then.”

That somewhat placated Travis. He’d thought that someone was targeting Georgia and her children again, which would really put Georgia and Robert in a precarious situation.

Since what happened yesterday wasn’t centered around Georgia, he wasn’t as worried about it now.

“Has Robert found anything about the online drama?”

Travis asked about yesterday concernedly again, while Georgia shook her head.

“We’d been investigating this all throughout originally, but then last night had just erupted like that. I guess Robert’s people are still busy handling that incident, so this side is going to languish for a while.”

Georgia said that, while Travis replied.

“Didn’t I tell you before? I found that this had something to do with the Warner family, but in the end, nothing concrete came up. I’ve discovered something new, though. Sarah can tell you about it.”

Sarah turned to Georgia from the sofa on the side, smiling.

“Travis talked to me about this, and I always kept it in mind. I live in the same district as Eliana, and a few days prior, on my way back home, I saw Eliana speaking with a man. Of course, it’s not strange for Eliana to argue with someone else, but the two of them were arguing pretty intensely. I didn’t hear what they were talking about, but I could see that it was mainly Eliana yelling at the man. The man kept his head down and didn’t speak, just letting himself get yelled at, so I got to watch them for a while longer.

“I do somewhat remember that man’s appearance. I saw him at a banquet before. His name’s Barney Stone, and he’s a man of some wealth and talent. I didn’t think he’d just let himself get insulted by a woman like that, which left an impression on me. Travis just happened to find at this time that the internet ghostwriting company seemed to have something to do with Barney, so he had me tell you about it to see if it could help you out.”

At that, Georgia’s eyes lit up.

“My side’s also found out that the internet ghostwriting team that’s stirring up drama and rumors against me is being funded by Barney, and Barney was once college students with Eliana. The two of them went to the same school as Robert and knew each other. Our side also suspects that it’s Eliana making Barney do this, but we never had concrete proof.

“But with what you’ve said, those two have to be connected. Maybe Barney’s only targeting me because of Eliana. Last time I saw Eliana, she mocked me for Robert not wanting me anymore. At that time, Robert and Sierra’s relationship had just leaked, and it’s obvious that Eliana has a lot of hostility towards me. She was gloating last time. I always suspected that she liked Robert. She might be going after me because of hatred borne from that love.”

Sarah sighed.

“If that’s the case, we definitely won’t find actual evidence on Eliana. It’s clear that Barney’s very tolerant of Eliana. I think that he likes her, and he must be willing to do all sorts of things for her. Eliana doesn’t even need to act herself. She can just leave everything to Barney. He can take care of everything cleanly.”

Georgia mostly understood Sarah’s meaning. It wasn’t that there wasn’t conclusive proof.

It just wasn’t very proper to take revenge on someone out of nowhere.

“There’s other methods to resolve this. Thank you for telling me about it. If Eliana is really behind it, I won’t let her off easy.”

As Georgia finished that, Sarah spoke again.

“Actually, I came specifically to the hospital to see you today because, other than this, I still have another thing to talk to you about.”

Georgia showed a confused expression, and Sarah took a document out of her bag.

“This document has information on all the research personnel in Jayson Mathis’ lab. I found this through great effort. I believe that if you start investigating from these people, it might be of help to you now.”

Georgia was befuddled, and shot a reflexive glance at Travis, who apologized to her.

“Back then, when you called me and asked for data on the lab, it was in the hands of Uncle Brenton and Sarah, so I asked them to help and send me the information on the lab. Sarah was smart, though. Even though I hadn’t spoken about it, she guessed it anyway. Sorry. I didn’t deliberately tell Sarah about this.”

Georgia nodded and wasn’t too angry. She just reflexively thought that she couldn’t let too many people know about this.

She wanted to know how Sarah knew.

Sarah went on.

“I want to make a deal with you, Miss Lane, and trade for it with the information on this document. Would you be willing to do so, Miss Lane?”

As expected, there was no such thing as a free lunch. Georgia smiled.

“What deal would you like to strike?”
