“That’s between them. You don’t have to worry about it.”
Silvia nodded and said, “Alright.”This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.
Back inside, Silvia was about to suggest watching a movie together, but Neil’s phone rang.
When he answered it, he heard an anxious voice. “Mr. Remus, something’s happened to Troy. Can you come over right now?” They hurried to Green Hills Mental Health Hospital, but an hour had passed by the time they arrived.
Neil looked at the pale and unconscious Troy before he demanded the truth, “What happened?!”
The nurse was intimidated by his cold gaze. “M-—Mr. Remus, your father visited Troy in the afternoon. When we came to fetch him for dinner in the evening, we found him unconscious...”
Neil frowned. “How is Troy now?”
“He was injected with a neurotoxin. Even though we treated him quickly, there’s a chance he might end up in a coma and never wake up again...”
Even if Troy was awake, he could no longer answer Neil's questions. The nurse hesitated to tell Neil about this. “| understand. Please do everything you can to save him.”
After they left Troy's ward, Silvia turned to Neil and softly asked, “Do you want to drop by your family’s mansion?” Neil appeared more solemn. “Yes.”
It was already past 9 p.m. when they reached the mansion, but Jake was still working in his study.
Realizing that Neil and Silvia had arrived, he walked out with a frown.
“Why are you here?”
Neil looked at him seriously and asked, “Did you see Troy this afternoon?”
Jake nodded. “Yeah. Even though he betrayed me, he worked for me for over a decade. So, | went to check on him. What’s the problem?”
“Not long after you left, Troy became unconscious.”
As Neil spoke, he watched Jake's expression closely.
Jake was shocked. However, something soon occurred to him, and he angrily asked, “Do you think I’m responsible?!” “You're the only one who's visited Troy recently. Shortly after you left, he fell into a coma. How do you explain that?”
Jake’s face turned red with rage. He gritted his teeth and said, “He’s mentally impaired. It’s not unusual for someone like him to suddenly fall into a coma. How could you blame me for
that?!”
“If you've done something to Troy, you'd better tell me now. I’ve reported it to the police, and you could end up in jail if they find any evidence of your involvement!”
“| haven't done anything. What is there to be afraid of?” Jake boldly replied.
Neil stared into his eyes for a while before he eventually looked away.
His staring pissed Jake off, and he shouted, “If there’s nothing else, go back! Don’t accuse me of something without evidence next time!”
With that, he stormed off. Neil and Silvia left the mansion once silence filled the living room, As they drove away, Silvia looked at Neil and asked, “Do you think he lied to us?”
Neil's expression remained cold as he said, “Probably not. He didn’t seem guilty earlier. It’s likely that someone else is the culprit.”
“But didn’t you send someone to keep an eye on Troy? Besides your dad, no one else has visited him. | still think he’s the most likely suspect.”
Jake had been very cautious around them too. He must be hiding something.
