Chapter 1205
Silas had been sandwiched between Beryl and Conrad for the past five years.
He had to work really hard in Maxwell Corporation to help Conrad maintain the Maxwells’ business empire. At the
same time, he also needed to be wary of Beryl, fearing that she might stab them in the back.
“I’ve been careful to make sure she didn’t have a chance of hurting Sir all these years. Yet, I didn’t think she’s this
despicable!” Silas felt so saddened and furious that he rushed back to the living room.
“Sir, you’ve been poisoned by your mother!”
Hearing this, Conrad furrowed his brows before looking at Fia.
“What do you mean?”
Fia lazily sat on a chair, crossed her legs, and smirked at Conrad.
“It means that someone has been drugging you in the past five years, ensuring that you do not recover your
memories.”
Conrad’s face turned grim upon hearing this. “No, it’s not possible! She’s my mother!”
Due to losing his memories, Conrad had been very wary of people around him. He would never eat or drink
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtanything that was not prepared by his mother. Yet, they’re telling him that it was she who poisoned him?
Fia enjoyed seeing him feeling conflicted like this. So, she continued with her words, “Indeed, taking in small doses
once a while would not hurt. However, it’s still a kind of drug. How would it not hurt your body at all in the long
run?”
Hearing this, Conrad recalled that there would always be a day of each month that he would feel very drowsy.
When he fell asleep, he would sleep so soundly that he would not feel anything around him.
And it was during those days that Beryl would bring in herbal soups for him. She said that the soup would help make
him feel better and she insisted on watching him finish the soup before leaving.
“Impossible…!” Conrad stood up agitatedly. “She’s my mother!”
“Sir, Madam Beryl was never the person she pretended to be today. She had schemed a lot behind your back in the
past. Back then…”
“I’ll go talk to her!” Conrad limped toward his walking cane, intending to leave to meet his mother immediately. He
was so agitated that there was a visible sway and tremble in each step he took.
Silas quickly stepped forward to support his arm. “Sir, I’ll accompany you. Don’t get too angry. Ms. Sia says that
getting angry would harm your health.”
“Bring me to her right away!”
Although he seemed to be still in denial, deep down Conrad was beginning to believe what Fia told him.
Still, that woman was his mother! He had to confront her face to face!
Letting out a sigh, Fia said, “I advise caution. It’s best not to confront her head on. You just never know what kind of
things some people would do when they’re cornered.”
Conrad was stunned hearing this while Silas nodded in agreement. “Ms. Sia’s right, Sir. We should not act too
recklessly.”
“Alright, I understand.” Conrad relented. There was a wisp of tiredness in his voice when he gave in. They were
right. If Beryl had indeed been poisoning him all these years, it was unwise to hastily confront her right away.
Fia stood up from her chair to fetch Adrian and Irene. “Okay, kids. Time to go home.”
Adrian and Irene, however, looked worried.
Irene said, “Mommy, can’t you do something about Uncle’s poison?”
Adrian added, “If you can’t remove that poison, maybe we can ask Daddy to help?”
“Oh dear, no!” Fia smiled at her children and said, “Daddy is so busy he might die from exhaustion. How would he
find time to help this man?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmFrankly, Fia suspected that Lucifer had a deep grudge against Conrad. This was shown quite clearly from how he set
Conrad up five years ago.
Conrad should feel lucky that Lucifer did not take his life right away!
Yet, the kids wanted him to help Conrad remove the poison? Fat chance!
“But…..”
When Irene wanted to continue pleading, Fia stopped her with a kiss on her cheek.
“My little dears, come on. Mommy’s tired and wants to go home to sleep.”
Hearing this, the children did not have the heart to bother their mother further.
After seeing Fia and her children off, Conrad sat on his sofa and grimaced at Silas. “What did you two talk about on
the balcony?”
“Ms. Sia told me about her analysis of your health condition.”
Silas then told Conrad everything about the fact that someone had administered a drug that could recover his
memory.
Squinting, Conrad recalled Sally. This doctor had used a needle on him that day. And from that day onward, his arm
had begun to ache. Then, his head and whole body began to ache too after a few days.
“Find me that female doctor that the hospital director brought over that day!”
