Jason didn’t read further. He delicately folded back the note, stuffed it inside the envelope and handed it back to Emyr. Glancing at him, he said with an empathetic smile on his life. Emyr, when you send this envelope over to Foster, remember to send a bottle of aspirin along. I am sure he would need it immediately after reading this note.Emyr didn’t understand. Confusion was etched on his expression.When Jason saw him like that, he felt bad. Glancing back at Aiden, he said, If you haven’t understood what I meant, then maybe you underestimated your boss’s viciousness. If he is writing a note, it can never be as simple as a thank you note, full of sweet words. How dumb of me to forget it for a moment.His lips twitched at the corners when he noticed Aiden’s nonchalant expression. Emyr still didn’t understand what Jason meant. But from what he said, he could tell that his boss hadn’t written just a simple thank you note.Emyr, Aiden said, before gesturing him towards the door. You can go first then.Emyr nodded before giving a small bow. I will send it over to Mr. Foster’s residence then.While Aiden nodded, Jason added once again. Do remember to send the bottle of Asprin along, Emyr.Emyr gently nodded and then left. Once the door was closed behind him, Jason turned to look back at his friend. Does Arwen know you can be this petty?She doesn’t have to know, Aiden said simply as if he was sure of its irrelevance. Because for her, I will always be generous.Jason was speechless …Generous? Of course, Aiden could be generous. But knowing him for ages, he could tell that generosity was reserved … for Arwen.Shaking his head internally, he didn’t mind discussing that any further. Pulling a chair, he instead said, By the way, even I met him recently. Yesterday and also today, he said and then added, He wanted me to perform the surgery for Delyth Ember.Aiden nodded. Great to know that you are getting popular here as well. He then went back to look into the file he was previously looking into.When Jason saw him like that, he couldn’t help but chuckle. No matter how popular I get I won’t treat a patient who will never get treated. It will be a waste of my efforts, he said, noticing Aiden halting for a moment.You are giving up without even trying? Aiden said, glancing up as if it was something he hadn’t expected. That’s not you, Jason. Since when did you start being so pessimistic?It’s not being pessimistic, Jason said. I just know you too well.Me? Aiden repeated. What does it have to do with me? Don’t devilize me like that.Devilize you? Jason chuckled. How can I devilize a Devil? Isn’t that already an essence within him.For a brief moment, neither of the two spoke. Aiden might not have revealed it but Jason who had witnessed everything so closely doesn’t need a revelation to understand what reduced Delyth to such a state. He knew his friend too well to know this was something on his list since the day Arwen had that accident.Anyway, that’s not the discussion for which I am here today, Jason said after a while and his expression changed. The tease on his face that was there moments ago, vanished and his face turned serious as he said, weighing his words well. I am here to tell you about the drug that has been injected into Arwen —one that made her lose her memories.Aiden’s fingers halted the page of the file that he was about to flip. Glancing up, he looked at Jason, his eyes turning dark and unfathomable.When Jason saw him like that, he slowly nodded. The test that we have performed on Arwen the last time helped us trace back to the drug. I didn’t tell you about it before because I wasn’t sure if we would be able to be successful in tracing it, given how the presence of it has grown faint in her system. But luckily, my lab people were able to do it and we were able to trace it.Jason wanted to tell Aiden the last time, but given how anxious Aiden was to find the people who were behind Arwen’s such state, he didn’t want to give him hope that might not have ended up being successful. hence, he kept it to himself.Now with the drug being identified, it would be difficult to trace back the people. It’s just a matter of time and everything will be revealed.Oblivion—X, Jason muttered slowly. That drug was being researched for a great time, but then halfway through the research, it was being banned. The governments got to know how dangerous could harmful the effect of the drug could be if injected into people, hence they banned it.But seems like even after it was banned, someone deliberately researched it and dared to create it successfully. Given the tests, we find the traces of Oblivion–X in the Arwen’s system. Jason explained and his every word only made Aiden’s expression hardened.He might not have reacted violently, but Jason could clear see the restraint in his gaze. It seemed so powerful that if unleashed, no one would be able to hold it back until it destroyed the whole world.Aiden, this —Before Jason could say more, Aiden interrupted him in a deep voice that didn’t hide away the darkness of his intention.Who were the ones researching it?Jason knew that the moment he would come to Aiden and reveal him about the drug, this would be the first question he would ask him. He was expecting it, and that was the reason why he visited Dr. Cred’s hospital. But unfortunately, he wasn’t able to get the details as he had thought.I have asked someone to find it. We will know it soon.
