Chapter 494
“I haven’t heard any gossip in a while. Garrett used to call me and tell me stories about his romantic escapades. He hasn’t called for a long time now.”
Frank noticed that Brandon was starting to fume and quickly changed the subject.
“To be really honest, I’m really hoping to find the person who made the poison. The person who gave the poison to Jorge today and the one who had dealt with Charis might be one and the same.”Brandon’s expression turned more serious. He sat down next to Frank.
“What makes you say that?”
Frank moved over to make room for Brandon.
“I discovered this chemist, who is skilled at creating these peculiar poisons. This chemist is very mysterious and adept at hiding his tracks. Even so, I’ve done a lot of researches and discovered some of victims of his poisons. Some of them were killed by the poison that Draco was given. Others lost their memory… Well, just like what happened to you…”
Frank quickly realized what he was saying and stopped.
“What?” Brandon asked in shock.
“Just say what you have to say.”
“Your memory loss was brought on by a drug with terrible side effects.”
Frank then handed Brandon a file that he had taken out of his briefcase.
“You can see for yourself.”
Brandon read the file.
It said that brain damage was diagnosed in those who had taken the same drug.
It could take up to five years for it to incubate.
Some people experienced severe memory loss, mental health issues, and even cognitive function impairment.
This could mean that in three to five years, Brandon could develop retardation or simply go mad.
While Brandon was reading the materials, Frank told him about something he already suspected.
“The cases mentioned in the file all happened abroad, indicating that this chemist may be a foreigner or at least someone who lives abroad. I don’t understand why he suddenly decided to go after you.”
Brandon closed the files and said thoughtfully, “I will look into it.”
Mixed emotions engulfed him.
“We must find this chemist.”.
Otherwise, he and the Larson Group would be in grave danger.
Natalie entered the ward.
Draco’s face was pale as he lay weak on the bed. He was on a drip and could only breathe through a ventilator.
Frank had told her that Draco still couldn’t breathe on his own now.
Seeing Draco in this state. Natalie covered her mouth and started crying.
Just this morning. Draco was still alive and well.
And now, however, he was gravely ill and almost lifeless. It was all her fault.
“Natalie…”
Draco’s voice was so weak that it was hard to hear.
“Yes, I can hear you, Mr. Wesley,”Natalie replied.
She sat on the edge of the bed, wiping her tears.
“Don’t cry,” whispered Draco.
“It’s harmful to your health if you cry too much.” Draco raised one hand, intending to wipe away her tears, but paused with his hand mid-air.
He had never seen Natalie cry so mournfully.
Natalie took Draco’s advice.
Nodding obediently, she held back her tears.
“Are you okay? How do you feel?” Draco asked gently.
Forcing a bright smile, Natalie nodded and said, “I’m fine, thanks to you. You saved me.”
Her eyes reddened as she spoke.
It was Natalie who Jorge had wanted to kill.
It was her who should have been lying on the bed.
Draco shook his head, smiling.
“If I had the choice again, I would still protect you. I brought you with me. It’s my duty to ensure you’re safe.”
Natalie’s eyes filled with tears.
Trying to remain calm, she said, “The person who poisoned you was trying to get revenge on me. It was Jorge who stole the design document from our company. But you stood in front of me, so you were the one who got poisoned.”
“It’s okay,” Draco replied patiently.
“I’m not blaming you or anything.”
After speaking a few words, Draco took a break to breathe in some oxygen.
When he noticed that his phone was missing from his bedside, he asked gently, “Did the organizers of Iridescent Show contact you?”
“Yes, they asked us to come to the show tomorrow” Natalie replied.
“But you’re only just out of danger, and you can’t take the plane, so about the show, I think we…”
Tears welled up in her eyes, and she was unable to continue.
“Absolutely not!” cried Draco.
