Georgia was making it seem so mysterious. Still, Ivan left the hospital corridor and went into the hotel room he lived out of nearby.

He’d been planning on going out to eat anyway, and it was no trouble.

The delay took almost a quarter of an hour. Ivan closed the door to his room, then turned back to Georgia.

“What severe topic do you need to discuss, Robert, Georgia? I’ve already closed the door and nobody will hear us speak.”

“Robert and I have only been back for a day. I’d like to ask you something – has Emilia’s mother still kept on visiting her every day?”

“Not quite yet. He’s still over in the northwest doing business and he probably won’t be back until the next week.”

It was fine to begin with, just guests over for dinner, but Sarah asked about Emilia’s situation, concerned, so I told her about what we experienced recently.
