After the meeting with Vivian, Darwin continued to look agitated. He was worried that what he had done earlier would be known to Veronica and cause her anger or misunderstandings.
That’s why, when he returned home, Darwin hurried to approach his wife, intending to tell her what had happened.
However, as soon as he entered the bedroom, he found Veronica already lying on the bed, covered with a blanket that concealed her entire body. It was only eight o’clock in the evening, and it was unusual for her to fall asleep so early.
“Darling…” Darwin called out as he approached the bed. When he sat down on the edge of the bed, he reached out with his hand, intending to caress Veronica’s hair and cheek alternately.
But as soon as his fingers touched her skin, Darwin realized something was wrong. Veronica’s body felt warmer than usual. When she opened her eyes, she looked quite weak, like someone who was unwell.
“Oh my, Veronica. Are you running a fever?” Darwin asked worriedly. He reached out with his hand to touch various parts of Veronica’s body to confirm her body temperature.
“I don’t know, Win. I suddenly felt unwell since this afternoon. Previously, I was perfectly fine,” Veronica recounted. It was because of this discomfort that Veronica had decided to come home early this afternoon.
“Have you eaten? Have you taken any fever medication? Or do you want me to take you to the hospital right now?” Darwin offered, sounding panicked. He was afraid that something dangerous might happen to his wife, so it was better to be cautious.
Veronica, looking weak, simply nodded. While lying down, she answered Darwin’s rapid-fire questions.
“Don’t worry, I’ve already eaten, and I took fever-reducing medicine. I might feel better soon.”
Darwin seemed somewhat relieved. At least he knew that Veronica had taken fever medication. Now, it was his turn to take care of his wife until her fever subsided and returned to normal.
Originally, Darwin had intended to tell Veronica about what had happened to him today. But since his wife was ill and it wasn’t possible for her to listen to what he had to say, Darwin decided to postpone his intention until Veronica had fully recovered.
Meanwhile, at his residence, Damian appeared equally restless this evening. What he had witnessed earlier, Darwin being affectionate with another woman, truly disturbed his thoughts.
Wanting to confirm this matter, he asked Adrian to find out immediately. Damian was confident that his assistant could gather information quickly without delay or taking days to complete the task. Adrian had always been skilled at investigating someone.
“Good evening, Mr.”
From the office doorway, the person Damian had been waiting for finally arrived. Without further invitation, the assistant, who still appeared energetic despite his age, walked closer.
“How’s it going, Adrian? Have you obtained what I instructed you to find?”
Adrian nodded. Shortly thereafter, he handed a brown folder containing important documents to Damian.
“I’ve obtained some information that I believe you need to know.”
Damian nodded and slowly opened the folder provided by Adrian, then carefully examined the contents of one of the files. He wanted to understand the information that was actually written there.
“For a moment, Damian appeared focused and serious as he read the paper he was holding. After a while, the man suddenly became irritated and angry. In fact, Damian immediately crumpled the sheet of paper he was holding before throwing it into the trash can.
“So, the woman who was hugging Darwin earlier this afternoon at the restaurant was Vivian? The woman who has been in a serious relationship with Darwin all this time.”
Adrian nodded. That’s indeed the brief information he had gathered while investigating Vivian.
“According to the information I’ve obtained, that’s correct, sir. Even after getting married, it turns out Mr. Darwin is still in a relationship with his lover. And what’s even more ironic is that Mrs. Veronica knows about Mr. Darwin’s affair.”
Damian clenched his jaw. Taking repeated deep breaths, he then pulled out the stack of photos that Adrian had obtained from a reliable source.
“What’s this, Adrian?” Damian asked as he tried to pull out each photo one by one from the folder he had received earlier.
“These are a collection of photos of Mr. Darwin with his lover.”
Damian then looked at each photo that Adrian provided. In the photos, Darwin was seen being affectionate with his lover, who was none other than Vivian.
“For God’s sake, Adrian!”
Damian appeared extremely angry. Cloaked in disappointment, suddenly, his chest felt very painful. Adrian, concerned, immediately approached, trying to offer assistance.
“Sir, are you okay?”
Damian continued to hold his chest in pain. Shaking his head, he then tried to speak.
“Please fetch my medicine from the cabinet.”
Adrian hurriedly obeyed his boss’s command. He searched for the medicine that Damian had requested, then helped hand it over for Damian to take immediately.
“How are you, sir? Do you need me to take you to the hospital right away?”
“I’m fine, Adrian.”
Damian then tried to control his breathing. As his condition started to improve, he spoke again. “After this, I want you to find out more information about Darwin. Please inform me as soon as possible about anything I haven’t known until now.”
Adrian nodded obediently. After making sure that Damian’s condition was gradually stabilizing, he promptly carried out what had been instructed to him. He began to dig deeper and uncover all the secrets or anything related to the figure of Darwin Walters.
