Chapter 83 - 83: Reason
Chapter 83 - 83: Reason
After what had happened last night, Juliana wanted to understand Benson's condition more thoroughly.
She asked for more details.
Benson answered everything she wanted to know, without holding back.
When Juliana was almost done asking questions, she said, "Ask Zach to send a copy of your medical records and stuff over the years."
For now, healing Benson was the primary concern for Juliana.
Benson nodded, "Okay."
After asking the questions, the two went quiet again. Philip had long since left sensibly.
Juliana turned her head to look at Benson, his arm bandaged with white gauze, which was very harsh in the sunlight.
She called out in a deep voice, "Benson."
Benson looked at her.
Juliana looked up into his eyes and changed her words, "Billy is my sidekick, not a lover."
She had checked her account and confirmed that Billy did give her $100,000 a month.
Benson nodded, "You said that this morning, and I believe you."
Juliana said, "I don't remember some things very well, but it was Suzanne and the others who spread the word about things like this."
She had only fragmented memories of the previous Juliana and needed to think back carefully to remember some people and things.
For example, Billy was the sidekick of the original Juliana, who cooperated with her to act as her lover, but in fact the two of them had never even held hands.
After what happened last night, Juliana tried to explain the ridiculous past to Benson.
Benson looked at her and smiled pleasantly, "Okay."
...
At lunchtime, Zach gave Juliana a copy of all of Benson's medical records.
He looked at Juliana's seriousness in reading the charts and asked with contempt, "You don't think you can cure Benson just by going through the charts, do you?"
Juliana didn't look up, "What? You want a slap in the face again?"
Zach grinned, "Not only have I been researching for so many years, but the medical team of mine behind me was built for Benson, but so far the cause of the disease has not yet been found, and you want to cure it?"
Juliana didn't say anything but looked up at Zach in silence.
Zach felt uneasy, but quickly snorted, "I don't need you to cure Benson. As long as you can tell me the cause of Benson's illness, I'll call you Dad!"
Juliana frowned, looked down, and continued to look through the medical records, "Benson's attack has nothing to do with the mental aspect, but rather he was poisoned with a hallucinogenic neurotoxin."
Zach was dumbfounded and looked at Juliana in shock, "You made that up, didn't you?"
Juliana looked up at him and said, "If you can buy the hallucinogen N3, test it yourself and you will know. And don't forget to buy the antidote."
Zach didn't believe it at all, "You're just making it up. You're lying to me."
Juliana smiled politely, "Come back to me when you've tried it. I'm still waiting for you to call me 'dad', although I don't need an ungrateful son like you."
Zach didn't believe her, but he couldn't help but believe it when he saw the serious expression on Juliana's face.
All in all, it was about Benson. He would rather be fooled than miss the chance. He turned around and left.
Juliana let him go and spent the rest of the day reading Benson's medical records. She already had a suspicion in her mind and just needed a confirmation.
The next evening, Zach arrived in a frenzy.
Juliana was upstairs, and before she saw him, she heard him shout.
"Juliana! Juliana, get down here, quick."
Benson sulked and looked at him, "What's the matter? Why are you in such a hurry? It's like you want to kill someone."
