Master Brian’s maid

Chapter 71 The Origin of Doubt



At about the same time, at Mr. Arthur’s house, today is a beautiful sunny day, Matida took her husband out for a walk inside the garden, she was trying to restore Arthur’s memory with stories that She talked about related objects.

So Matida ordered Menka to prepare hot tea and some butter cookies, Arthur’s favorite of the breakfasts he had eaten. She sat near him and began to sip the tea in her hand and said:

“The weather is beautiful today, it reminds me of a picnic with you in Matteza, where the prairie hills are vast and windy. I still remember it was the day after our wedding, when we visited Winston’s grave and went to visit some distant relatives. It was a time when I put aside my worries because I was so absorbed in the search for Elise and the sadness of my husband’s death.”

She looked into the distance and said:

“That trip was quite peaceful, when the atmosphere changed, I felt myself a little more refreshed. We visited an orphanage in Matteza and gave them small gifts. The rest of the time, you took me for walks and sightseeing to relieve my heart. We had a good time there and had some really nice pictures together.”

Matida took an album on the table, turned the pages of pictures for Arthur to see. He smiled at the happy pictures with Matida:

“That place is so beautiful, it’s a pity that I forgot them in my memory.”

She stopped at a photo and said:

“I like this photo best, when you dressed up as a tame horseman and lifted me onto your horse. Did it make any impression on you?”

Arthur knew that Matida was trying to recall his memory, he pretended to have a headache and waved his hand.

“I don’t remember it. Can you put them aside? I have a headache.”

Matida saw the expression of suffering because of Arthur’s illness, she anxiously folded the album aside and asked:

“Are you okay? I’m in too much of a hurry, we should take it slow.”

Tired Arthur says:

“I’m fine but when I try to remember something, it makes my head hurt so bad.”

Matida sighed and asked further:

“So are you a little impressed with that photo?”

Arthur shook his head sadly.

“I don’t remember anything.”

Matida saw Arthur’s tired face, she immediately took him back inside the house to rest. Meanwhile, Arthur had a small smile on his lips as he had successfully fooled her again. When he returned to his room, Matida gave him medicine, he fell a little sleepy and suddenly fell asleep at some point.

But the truth is that it is only a tonic, it does not cause drowsiness but is only good for weakened health. He secretly bribed the doctor to change his medicine because he really wasn’t a sick person who needed to take medicine. Arthur pretended to be asleep while Matida sat there looking after him.

After a while, Matida received a call from the company and she had to go there to handle urgent work, she had to let Menka take care of her husband. He waited for Matida to come out of the room and watched her move to the car and leave the house, then he confidently picked up the phone and called his subordinates. Arthur looked around with probing form , whispering over the phone:

“Have you done everything yet?”

The other end of the line replied briefly:

“Yes, maybe the police don’t give up when they are still silently searching for us. But that’s okay, I’ve already asked my subordinates to clean them up.”

Arthur happily says:

“Very well, when we’re done, I’ll give you a big reward.”

He hung up the phone and got up and paced excitedly, then dumped all the packages of dementia pills Matida had given him into a small bag, which he crawled under the bed and hid it under a cracked tile. Next, Arthur climbed into bed as usual, he was assured that all issues had been resolved satisfactorily.

That same evening, Matida returned home after a long day of hard work at the company, she sat down on the sofa in the living room to rest when she suddenly smelled the aroma of grilled chicken. At this time, Mr. Arthur suddenly came out from the kitchen with a tray of delicious grilled chicken in his hand. Matida saw this and asked him:

“Did you go down to the kitchen to cook them?”

Arthur smiled and replied.

“Yes, I also have a lot of free time at home, so I want to spend time cooking for my wife.”

Happy Matida says:

“Thank you Arthur, but you don’t have to, the cooking is done by Menka.”

Arthur frowned and replied:

“Matida, it’s different. I love to cook and I will cook them when I can to make you happy.”

Matida waved her hand and smiled while Arthur placed the grilled chicken in the middle of the table and pulled out a chair to invite her to sit down. He also wholeheartedly cut a piece of chicken and put it on her plate, looking at Matida with loving eyes.

While eating, Matida had a bit of a sore throat, she quickly took a sip of water and coughed for a few hours. Arthur hastily approached Matida’s forehead and noticed that her body was hot. He panicked and said:

“Matida, are you okay?”

Matida forced a smile and replied:

“I’m fine, I’m just a little tired inside.”

Now the servant Menka worriedly said:

“You should take care of your health, it would be better for your company to share it with Mr Arthur and Master Oswat.”

Arthur impatiently asked again:

“What happened?”

Matida laughed and replied:

“Never mind, it’s just too much work at the company to exhaust me.”

Arthur was about to ask another question when Matida immediately said:

Arthur, any questions can you ask me later? I’m a bit tired now, I want to go back to my room to rest a bit.”

He looked at his wife’s tired eyes and felt a little guilty, he nodded slightly and helped his wife back to the bedroom. When he was done, he sat by the chair and looked at Matida for a long time and said to himself:

“It won’t work like this forever, I’ll be back to work soon. The challenge game with her should stop here.”

Early the next morning, Matida woke up in bed after a night of taking medicine and getting enough rest, she felt better, no longer tired. She got up and went downstairs to look for Arthur, it turned out that he was cooking breakfast for her, some eggs, vegetables and delicious toast, plus some honey tea in the morning.

Arthur saw Matida immediately led her to the dining table and pulled a chair to invite her to sit down, he quickly ran to the kitchen to prepare tea for breakfast when the dishes were ready on the dining table. He brought Matida two cups of hot tea and said:

“Enjoy them, I cooked them with all my heart.”

Matida smiled and nodded slightly, he smiled back and quickly returned to the kitchen. Matida saw this and asked in confusion:

“Don’t you have breakfast with me?”

Arthur replied quickly:

“Use it first, I have some breakfast items I want you to enjoy.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Arthur excitedly went inside the kitchen, he walked while observing the people present in the kitchen and Matida’s actions outside. Before, he had intentionally spilled water on the floor so that they were slippery and now he pretended to be carrying a tray of breakfast cakes and accidentally slipped, Arthur fell with a loud noise and let his head fall soil. He took advantage of the absence of any servants to easily carry out his plan.

So when he heard a loud noise, the servant Menka rushed in and found Mr. Arthur lying unconscious on the floor. She panicked and called everyone, including Matida, to quickly take him to the hospital for treatment.

After being treated by a doctor for a while, Arthur opened his eyes and woke up and looked around vaguely. At this time Matida walked up to him and kindly asked:

“How does your body feel?”

Arthur looked at Matida with confusion:

“My head hurts like I’ve just had a concussion.”

Matida nervously asked:

“So do you know who I am?”

Arthur laughed confusedly:

“You are Matida, my beloved wife. Why are you asking me such a strange question today.”

At this moment, Matida was happy, shedding tears, she hugged him happily and said:

“Very well, it’s okay, glad you’re back with me, Arthur.”

Oswat just returned from seeing the doctor, he walked into the room and saw his parents hugging, smiling happily, he hugged the two of them, saying:

“Welcome home dad.”

After a while, the three of them let go of each other, questioning about what had happened all this time. Matida told Arthur all about his temporary memory loss and the work that needed to be done at the company, while Oswat told about the case of his mother’s ex-husband, thinking he had found the solution, guilty and exposed him, but all evidence disappeared overnight. Arthur heard everything and said:

“I really feel apologetic because I haven’t been by your side to deal with difficulties in the past time. But now everything has changed, I’m back, it’s like a miracle happened. And starting tomorrow, we’ll be back at work and dealing with the mess at the same time. As for Matida, go back to the furniture company with your secretary Melen. You have been absent from your company for a long time, as for my company, don’t worry, I will handle them in the best way.”

Matida happily replied:

“Fortunately everything is back to the way it was, I thought and feared that you would never remember me and everything that happened before. Thank God for this blessing, I am so grateful for it.”

Mr. Arthur continued:

“Everything is going as before, I will continue to search for Elise for you, we will see her again soon. As for the case, I will coordinate with the police to try to find the evidence that was stolen by them.”

Matida nodded, she added impatiently:

“But this time, I will also join you. We have wasted too much time already.”

Arthur smiled softly.

“Okay, but let’s deal with our company problems first.”

Matida agrees saying:

“Yes, that is of course. I will finish it soon.”

As for Oswat, he intended to help his parents in the case and the journey to find Elise but was stopped by Mrs. Matida, Mr. Arthur also agreed with her opinion because Oswat needed to spend time studying and exams at school. His studies were given top priority, moreover, Oswat studied two disciplines at the same time, which made him need to focus on his studies even more. Oswat was a good child, that’s why, when he heard his parents say that, he didn’t have any idea and obediently obeyed.

Everything went smoothly according to what Mr. Arthur arranged, he rushed to work like a machine to solve the problems at his company, and so did Mrs. Matida, she was always the a good hostess, hard-working and wholeheartedly because her father’s company gave her the right to inherit . Matida tried to complete the work to have time to find Elise and the evidence in the case was lost, so she had little time to return home or see Arthur and Oswat.

Until a few days passed, that day, Matida had an appointment to meet her partner at a certain cafe, when she accidentally caught Arthur wandering around and walking quickly to the meeting place with a strange man, he had a dusty appearance and had tattoos all over his arms. Matida silently wondered:

“That man I have never met, if he was Arthur’s friend, I would have known. But this is my first time meeting this person. Is he also familiar with the gangsters?”NôvelDrama.Org (C) content.

Matida could not help but raise many questions in her mind, especially Mr. Arthur’s mysterious and stealthy attitude, which made the suspicion inside her even greater. She chatted with her partner briefly and quickly, making up for her with another date as Matida’s time now did not permit. The guest also understood and bid her farewell.

At that moment, Matida quickly followed Arthur to listen to the situation, she sat behind a nearby bench and tried to pretend to be unfamiliar with the black robe and glasses. Matida faintly overheard the conversation between Arthur and that man. She discovered that he was talking about the case of her ex-husband Matida, what was more special was that he was asking the mysterious man to find ways to distract the police when they were trying to find the evidence keep lost.

Hearing this, Matida felt weak and pale, she was in pain in her heart when she learned that Arthur not only did not help her but also tried to hide and conceal evidence so that the police could not find it. Matida trembled uncontrollably, she was forced to try to suppress the tears that did not come out right now. And she had to behave as usual, deftly monitoring Arthur’s every move.

When the two of them moved away from that place, they walked quickly towards the basement of the car park, Matida also followed silently, she secretly followed them, but when they reached the intersection, the other man changed to another car, Mr. Arthur ran behind and quickly turned in another direction, he took advantage of waiting for a red light and left Matida behind. Mr. Arthur’s careful action just now confused Matida, she couldn’t take it lightly and was forced to choose a safer option. Matida kept her distance and followed him, but she eventually lost track of Arthur’s movements.
