Chapter 442 Trap for Words
He said a whole lot of things in one breath, explicitly and implicitly taking himself off, as if he really didn’t know anything.
Layton and he had been friends for many years and had never been suspicious of him, so at that moment he was not half as defensive as he was, and told him the whole story.
Benjamin listened without moving, acting as if he had only really just learned about it, his face shocked, followed by a frown.
“Raphael’s father is so outrageous, he’s doing it to his own son, he doesn’t care about him and now he’s imprisoning him, what kind of a normal father would do that? I can’t always get through to Raphael, it seems that his father has cut off all possibilities of getting him in touch with the outside world.”
“Yeah.” Layton’s face was not very good, “I also did not expect that Raphael’s father would be so cruel, using his own son’s name to blackmail others, as if he had no relationship with Raphael at all, even if he raised a dog, after raising it for so long, he should have feelings. Now it seems that the Williamson family is a tiger’s den, Raphael has not a place in there. I hope he can leave the Williamson family or take the initiative to hold the power of the Williamson family, otherwise, as long as his father is stepping on his head, he will not be able to get ahead.”
Benjamin nodded, then motionlessly steered the conversation towards Ruby.This content © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
“But the relic in Ruby’s hand is really attractive, how come people are grabbing it everywhere? I wonder how she is doing now, I haven’t seen her for a while.”
When he said this, he deliberately half-lowered his head, his eyes drooping as if he looked disillusioned.
“You also know that my heart for her has never changed over the years, but she doesn’t like me, the only thing I can do is to stay away, after all, now that she has Levi by her side, why would I make a fool of myself again …… ”
Layton raised his hand to pat him on the shoulder before he turned heavy and opened his mouth again.
“Ruby’s situation is very bad now.”
Benjamin wanted to hear his words, so he looked up abruptly and asked him in a smooth manner, “What’s happened to her?”
Layton hesitated, the corners of his lips pursed, before he told him about Wyon using Ruby’s daughter to blackmail Ruby.
As soon as he heard this, Benjamin’s face immediately changed.
“Is Wyon crazy for a relic? How could he even dare to do such a thing!”
At that moment, he got up violently and was to leave.
Layton stopped him, “Hey, what are you doing? You’re not going to see Wyon, are you? Or are you going to see Ruby?”
Benjamin gritted his teeth, “Both, I’m just going to ask why Wyon is doing this, at least Raphael and Ruby have been friends for so many years!”
“What’s the use of that?” Layton wrinkled his eyebrows, “Wyon is a person who is notoriously profit-oriented, when have you ever seen him care about his own family? The so-called family members are just pawns that he can use or not use, if he can use them, then he will remember to use them at the right time, but once he is deemed as a discarded son, then for the rest of his life, this person will not be able to hold up his head in the Williamson family, or even live!”
“As for Ruby, she is not even half related to him, so what can he not do? As long as he can get the relics, I think he’s perfectly willing to sacrifice everything!”
At the end of his sentence, there was even gnashing of teeth in his tone.
Benjamin’s face was sullen, but under his eyes, in a dark corner, there was a flash of shrewdness.
After a few moments, he spoke in a deep voice and asked, “What about Ruby? How is she doing now? Is she still out of danger?”
Layton nodded, “Well, she has woken up, her life is not in danger at the moment, and her health is normal.”
“Then I’ll go and see her, where is she now? Hasn’t she left the capital yet, has she?”
Layton nodded again, but his face was not optimistic, and he was silent for a while before he sighed.
“Even if you go to see her now, she may not recognize you.”
At these words, Benjamin’s eyes flickered slightly, “What do you mean by that?”
“To tell you the truth, there is nothing wrong with the physical condition of Ruby, but her brain seems to have a problem.”
“Brain problem?”
“She’s had some memory problems, some memories are forgotten, some are misremembered and her personality has become eccentric, not even like it used to be.”
These words were the same as what Lewis had told him, and the reason he had asked Layton out today was to confirm the credibility of this one thing.
“A memory problem? Really? How could this happen?”
“Of course, why am I doing lying to you?”
Layton sat back down in the sofa, seemingly with a slight headache.
“Although she still remembers me now, but one day she may forget me. Levi took her to the hospital for examination, all the checks were done, but nothing was found out, neither external nor internal injuries, blood tests were also normal, but just somehow such a problem appeared, until now, we still do not know the cause of this result cause, and ……”
At this point, he paused, his face odd.
Benjamin’s eyes gazed at him, urging him to go on, “And what? What else has happened?”
Layton: “Ruby forgets that she knows healing.”
At these words, Benjamin once again stood up with a shocked look on his face.
“Forget that she can heal? How is that possible? Healing is her proudest ability, and there’s no way she could forget this!”
Layton seemed a bit dejected and leaned back into the back of the sofa, “I’m not sure exactly what’s going on, but it looks like she’s really forgotten. Levi is anxious, so we can only find a way to save her, but before that, we still have to find a way to check out what exactly caused Ruby to lose part of her memory.”
Benjamin stood in place for a while before sitting back down again.
His face seemed to be hard to read, and he was silent for a long time before he said in a deep voice, “Since it’s such a mess now, I won’t go and cause any trouble. If there’s any news, you let me know immediately, and I’ll try to find out if there’s a more skilled doctor to help.”
Without much doubt, Layton nodded his head.
Both men were out of the mood that night and soon dispersed.
