Master Brian’s maid

At the same time at Lady Matida’s house, she was startled awake by the alarm clock on her phone. Matida sat up wearily when she realized she had fallen asleep on the sofa.

When last night Matida stayed at the hospital and took care of Mr. Arthur until early this morning she returned home. And now, Matida looked at her watch, it was too late in the morning, it was only a few hours until noon. In a little while she will return to the hospital to take care of her husband.

Two days have passed since Oswat was last evaluated by the doctor, then re-examined his injuries and approved him to go home. And when he was discharged from the hospital, Oswat eagerly went to the police station and tracked down Wade’s whereabouts. His urgent action made Matida even more worried when he had just recovered from the accident.

But because of the longing for investigative news about the old case of her ex-husband Winston, she did not try to dissuade Oswat and tacitly endorsed his hasty action. And that’s when today, Oswat went to the police station and asked an old colleague of his father’s Robert for help.

And when Robert saw Oswat entering the police station and looking for him, he was extremely surprised by it. Because he rarely saw Arthur’s son, Robert remembered when Oswat was ten years old, he gave him a toy that was a remote control plane. It was Oswat’s birthday and the last time he saw the boy because he was extremely busy at work and had moved elsewhere for a temporary job.

Today, Oswat went to the police station where Mr. Robert worked to ask him to find a man named Wade. He entered the office and asked someone where Robert was, who directed him to Robert’s office. Oswat thanked him and quickly went to the place, he knocked politely and received his permission, he entered inside.

When Robert looked at the young man walking towards him, he asked in surprise:

“What are you looking for me for?”

Oswat saw that Robert still didn’t recognize him, he gave a big smile and replied:

“Didn’t you recognize me?”

Robert stopped taking notes, examined Oswat more closely, and exclaimed:

“Oswat, could it be you?”

The young man nodded and replied, he stretched out his arms for Robert to hug him, Robert happily hugged Oswat and said:

“Oh, my grandson. I’m surprised to see you here, I didn’t expect time to pass so quickly. When in front of me now you are no longer a naughty boy but instead a tall and handsome young man like this.”

Oswat patted his old uncle Robert’s shoulder and replied:

“I haven’t seen you in a long time, I’m glad to see you again.”

The two hugged for a moment and then let go, Robert motioned for Oswat to sit down nearby and walked over to his desk, where he picked up the landline phone and called for the person to bring the coffee.ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

While waiting for the coffee to be brought, Robert chatted with Oswat for a bit. He asked surprised when Oswat came here to find him today:

“Oswat, how can I help you?”

Oswat said slowly:

“Do you remember Mr. Winston’s case? My stepmother’s previous husband was Matida, he was murdered in a pub by someone named Arlo.”

Robert narrowed his eyes and replied:

“That case I still remember, at the time of the crime, Arthur asked me to investigate them thoroughly to track down the criminal Arlo. But Arlo committed suicide in a suburban house when he was found by the police, the mastermind of Winston’s murder was dead, so the case was closed soon after.”

Oswat continued:

“Yes. But a few days before that, my stepmother Matida accidentally discovered an old love letter behind a picture of Winston. And the hidden truth was revealed in that letter.”

A knock on the door interrupted Oswat’s words, and the waiter politely entered and brought Oswat and Robert two cups of coffee. When the waiter went out, Oswat continued:

“This case is not what we previously thought, and the police missed many important details and concluded them too hastily. Because in the case file that my father kept, except for Derek who was an accomplice, he burned down Matida’s house, there was still another person.”

Robert picked up his coffee and took a sip, listening intently to what Oswat had to say. He continued:

“It is Wade, a close servant of Mr Aidan, the owner of the Lawrence mansion. A person that the police had previously ignored because they did not find any connection or relation.”

Robert looked at Oswat and replied:

“I also suspected Wade before, I think that case not only has Derek as an accomplice but also has several other people behind it. But at that time, perhaps Matida was too busy with her husband’s funeral and searching for her missing daughter that she did not pursue and ask the police to investigate to the end.”

Oswat nodded in agreement.

“Yes, my stepmother said the same thing, it was her fault that she was negligent and didn’t ask the police to do a thorough investigation.”

He picked up his coffee cup and took a sip, saying:

“And now, when she has discovered the truth behind that letter, she is extremely surprised and saddened when her best friend Chantal is involved with her husband. That’s why, my mother asked me to come here to meet you to find Wade, an accomplice who was missed in this case. She wants to know the back story and also confirm her suspicions about Mr. Aidan secretly murdering her husband or not?”

Robert calmly replied:

“I see, I will send someone to find Wade for you. All facts will be thoroughly investigated and cleared up quickly.”

He pats Oswat on the shoulder encouraging him and tells him to go home and wait for his results. At that moment, Oswat’s phone vibrated, he picked it up and heard Matida’s sad voice say in the phone:

“Oswat, I just went back to the hospital to take care of your father, he has regained consciousness. But there’s something…”

She hesitated for a moment to control her emotions. That made Oswat even more worried and asked:

“Mom, what’s the matter?”

At this point, Matida did not hide her emotions, she broke down in tears and said:

“Arthur has temporarily lost his memory, he doesn’t remember anything at all. Even me, he didn’t realize. What should I do, Oswat?”

Oswat was also quite surprised and confused when he heard Matida say that, he regained his composure and reassured his mother:

“Don’t worry mom, I’ll go to the hospital right now, wait me.”

He hung up and said goodbye to Robert, Oswat hurriedly drove to the hospital to check on his father’s condition.
