“Sia?” Sally asked confusedly.
She then recalled that woman she saw in the hospital the other day-the one woman who had a daughter who had blood coagulation dysfunction. Due to curiosity, Sally went to the front desks to check her signed documents and learned that her name was “Sia Stewart”.
“You know Ms. Sia?” Silas asked.
“No, I don’t. But I met a young woman with her daughter at the hospital the other day. She reminded me of…”
“Doctor Sally, perhaps you could explain the risk of using that drug to my boss?” Silas interjected Sally at the nick of time. He did not want her to mention Fia so as to not spark his boss’s interest.
Right now, his boss’s poison is still lingering in his body. And they have no idea how he would react to recent events after recovering his memories.
Looking at Conrad’s hopeful eyes, Sally decided to be frank about the drug. “I don’t have it with me anymore.”
“Can you synthesize a new batch?” Conrad asked.
“I don’t know how to.” Sally then recalled what her brother told her so she decided to relay it to them too. “The dose that I’ve administered to your body might linger for some time. Although it might cause you pain, it will help you regain your memories.”
“How long would it take?” Conrad asked.
“Do you really want to regain your memories?” Sally asked in confusion, “Why do you suddenly want your memories back?”
“It’s none of your business!”
“Could I meet Ms. Sia?” Sally asked.
“She’s got a bad temper. I’m afraid she might not want to see you.” Conrad said coldly, “How long would it take for me to regain my memories?”
“Have you remembered anything of late?”
Sally recalled her brother mentioning something that the drug could help a person start regaining some memories within three days. This content belongs to Nô/velDra/ma.Org .
It had been more than three days since she injected it into Conrad’s body.
“Nothing. It’s just that… when the pain comes, a girl emerges in my head.” Conrad lowered his head and said, “I don’t know her. But when I saw her cry… I feel bad.”
“So, you haven’t remembered anything more about her?” Sally continued probing. She could not help but feel that her brother was boasting. The drug did not help much at all now, didn’t it?
Silas explained, “Someone has been secretly drugging my boss with a memory suppressant for the past five years.”
“Huh?” Sally was surprised to hear that. “Who did it? Could it be Annie Parker?”
“No, not her.”
Silas knew that his boss was still not fully willing to believe that his mother would hurt him, so he decided to not relay that information to Sally just yet.
Nonetheless, Sally was heavily involved in Conrad and Fia’s life back then. After pondering for a while, she blurted out, “So it was your mother?”
”
Conrad stared at Sally silently for a moment before asking, “Do you know me? How did your suspicion go straight to my mother in such a short time?!”
“Silas never told you? Oh, right. I suppose that makes sense. Silas probably was threatened by your mother. So, he doesn’t dare to tell you about your past!” Sally said sarcastically.
Conrad turned toward Silas and asked, “Did my mother threaten you?”
—
Silas looked at Conrad speechlessly. His boss had not regained his memory yet, so how would he dare to badmouth Madam Beryl in front of him?
“You lost your memories. Of course, Silas doesn’t dare to tell you!”
For the first time in her life, Sally found herself seeing Conrad Maxwell as a pathetic man.
Feeling frustrated, Conrad said, “Just get me more of that drug. I want to regain my memories quickly!”
“If you want to recover your memories, you should stop eating the stuff your mother has been feeding you!” Sally said sternly, “It’s no wonder you haven’t recovered your memories all these years! You’ve been tricked and controlled by your mother! Like a puppet!”
Conrad felt ashamed from hearing that, ashamed that he would be used by someone for that long.
“If there’s nothing else, I’ll take my leave.” Sally turned toward the door, preparing to leave.
“Wait!”
Conrad stopped Sally and then ordered Silas to step away.
“Sure, Sir. I’ll go purchase something for your apartment.”
Silas obliged and left the building to buy things that Conrad might need to use in the apartment on the daily.
