Chapter 446 Wyon Tells the Truth
In the clubhouse, Benjamin had been waiting for some time, as he had last time.
“Are you so bored that you call me out?” Once Layton arrived, he sat down on his butt and casually teased.
Benjamin said, “Of course I’m bored, otherwise I wouldn’t have called you.”
Layton: “……”
He tilted his head and drank a glass of wine, then leaned back in the sofa in a very depressed manner, gazing into the void with a somewhat despondent expression.
Benjamin, who had been watching his every move, saw this and inquired, as if unintentionally, “What’s wrong? What are you thinking about? What’s that depressed look?”
Layton sighed heavily and said after a few moments, “Today you were mentioned by Ruby.”
Hearing these words, Benjamin’s movement to pour the wine gave a start, his upper body leaning forward froze slightly and his eyes froze for a moment.
After a few seconds, he continued as if nothing had happened, poured himself a glass of whisky, lifted the glass and took a small sip.
“What did she say?”
Layton pulled the corner of his mouth, “That mutton-fat jade of yours, after all these years, she still misses that jade, and told me to tell you, when you are willing to part with it, be the first to inform her. She definitely wants to get her hands on it.”
Benjamin’s eyes narrowed slightly at the mention of the mutton-fat jade.
“I’m afraid I’ll have to disappoint her. That jade is the last thing my mother left me, and I wouldn’t just give it away to someone else even if I were dead.”
Said he, with a meaningful flash under his eyes, “Of course, if she were my wife and became family with me, then I would be happy to give her, it’s just a pity ……”Content is property of NôvelDrama.Org.
He didn’t go on with the latter words, but Layton naturally knew what he was trying to say.
At that moment, Layton swept him a glance and told him bluntly, “Come on, don’t daydream, she has already married to Levi, and they even have a five-year-old daughter. What are you still delusional about? Hurry up and turn over this page and embrace your new life.”
Benjamin pondered for a moment before seemingly half-lowering his eyes and saying, “You’re right.”
Then, without continuing the conversation, he steered in the direction he wanted to go.
“Was it also a case of misplaced memory when she suddenly brought it up now after so long? How is she now? Where is she?”
Layton was not half defensive towards him, and answered whatever he asked truthfully.
“Yes, Levi brought Dr. Moore here, Dr. Moore’s friend is the director of RH Hospital and has a lot of very advanced and sophisticated medical equipment. He took Ruby to do the examination, but after Ruby woke up, he forgot all about what happened before he came, he didn’t know at all why he came and how he came.”
After listening to these words in silence, Benjamin’s fingers squeezing the glass tightened silently, but his face kept unchanged.
“Advanced and sophisticated medical equipment? RH Hospital is so resourceful? Did that check anything out?”
Layton nodded, then shook his head again.
“It is true that we have detected some abnormalities, an insignificant data in her body has exceeded the standard range by ten times, but even if we check it out, we cannot make a judgment, let alone solve the problem. All we know now is that at the time of the accident, a drug was injected into her body, this drug is a new form of potion, which has never been heard of anywhere, and because it has been in her body for a long time, so it can’t be extracted, so we have no idea what it was, let alone treatment to it. We also only know that this drug has a strong ability to control brain cells, once the full dose is used, Ruby can be like a puppet on a string, controlled by others.”
Hearing these words, Benjamin’s fingers, which were tightly squeezing the glass, loosened slightly, and his body leaned back towards the sofa, as if his whole body had relaxed.
“What should we do? Did Dr. Moore say anything about where this potion might be? And what about the condition of Ruby?”
“Dr. Moore did say that there are some specific ingredients in this new medicine that are expressly forbidden to be used in the country, and that the development of a new medicine requires layers of control from above before research can begin, and this new medicine currently appears to be only a half-finished product that has not fully matured and not been tested, and can even be said to be a defective product, which is why it triggers such a large side effect in small doses. As for where it might exist, it would only be in some unrestricted local labs overseas, or else in the notoriously black organization …… In short, there are only these two possibilities.”
Layton spread his arms and leaned into the sofa, his body stretched, but his expression was not relaxed.
“As to whether it will last or not, it’s not sure, all Dr. Moore can do so far is to use some ordinary drugs. Levi has already sent people to various research institutes abroad to investigate, there’s nothing we can do now, but only wait and see what happens and wait for the news that Levi’s people bring back.”
“Levi sent someone to an institute abroad to investigate?” At those words, Benjamin’s eyes flashed with a fine aura.
Layton did not notice and nodded: “That’s right, there is no other way now, since domestic treatment is not possible, we can only keep our eyes on abroad.”
After a short silence, Benjamin only looked as normal and said, “In that case, I will also help to think of a solution, but whether I can help or not, it is still unclear, if there is a situation, I will inform you.”
Layton nodded: “Well, then I thank you in advance on behalf of Ruby.”
Benjamin smiled, “It is okay, we are all friends.”
……
Raphael had been under house arrest for the past few days, and he was getting more and more irritable.
Until now, he didn’t know who exactly was behind Wyon’s instructions, nor did he know what happened to Ruby now.
Worry was always on his mind, he had trouble sleeping and eating, and he had lost several pounds.
Wyon took the time to look at him, and saw that his brow was furrowed in displeasure.
“Look at you! What a look! Is it necessary to get yourself into such a mess for a woman?”
Raphael ignored it, only looking up and sweeping him away indifferently.
He knew that no matter what he said, Wyon would never let him out or let him have any contact with the outside world.
In that case, why did he need to talk so much nonsense?
At that moment, he was silent, as if he was protesting against something.
The more Wyon looked at him, the more dissatisfied he became, and he coldly snorted in a rather hateful manner, “You can’t get out anyway, and you can’t do anything, so I might as well tell you straight out that the person who really wants to set Ruby up is Benjamin!”
