Chapter 784


    “Fine, we‘ll talk properly tomorrow.” With that, Richard leaped out of the window. Arthur frowned, but he


    didn’t give Richard another look as if he knew that the man wouldn‘t fall to his death.


    Arthur didn‘t feel anything weird about himself these days, but everyone around him noticed the


    changes in him. He had be more indifferent, and even when faced with things he should be angry


    about, he simply responded calmly without much fluctuation in emotion.


    Richard went back to his room and rested his head on his own arm, but he couldn‘t fall asleep despite


    his fatigue. He still felt that the matter with Arthur was of great importance, and he had to investigate


    this in order to find out what caused his best friend to act so coldly.


    In the morning, Richard purposely went to the vi for breakfast. Even though it was a bit shameless,


    he still sat opposite Arthur and studied him with an unabashed stare.


    Arthur simply swept an indifferent nce over him and continued his breakfast in elegance,


    undisturbed.


    “You‘re here, Richard,” said Martha as she came over and greeted.


    “Hello, Grandma. Long time no see,” responded Richard, returning the greeting politely.


    “Long time no see, indeed! You‘re still handsome like always,” Martha praised before she continued to


    ask, “Is your grandfather still in good health?”


    “Yes, he‘s still up and about.”


    Martha nodded, then looked toward Arthur. “Artie, why don‘t you take Richard on a walk after


    breakfast? You must have a lot to catch up on.”


    “I still have some matters to attend to. I don‘t have time for him.” Arthur unexpectedly declined the


    suggestion.

    Richard felt like his heart had been stabbed as he said to Martha, “It‘s okay, Grandma. I‘m used to


    doing things alone.”


    “Come here, Richard. I have something to ask you about,” Martha called him over to a wing at the side


    of the building.


    Richard also hastily got up and followed. Martha looked at him worriedly and said, “Richard, did you


    notice anything wrong with my grandson? I feel like he haspletely changed aftering back this


    time.‘


    “Yes! I noticed that too, Grandma.”


    “I wonder what happened to him; he acts as if he doesn‘t care about family anymore. He doesn‘t even


    look excited about his wedding, and he just treats it like a job he‘s supposed to do. I don‘t understand


    him at all.”


    “Grandma, when did this change happen?”


    “The day after he came back. When he came home, he still hugged me happily and acted like a spoiled


    child, but now, it seems like he can‘t even stand it when I speak more than two sentences. Oh, dear!”


    Martha was also heart–broken.


    “Doesn‘t Arthur realize that himself?”


    “He seems fine, but also unusual at the same time. I even asked him to see a doctor, but the doctor


    couldn‘t find anything wrong with him either. He just said that Arthur has had a change in personality,


    and his emotions and feelings have toned down. He‘s in good health, and there‘s nothing wrong in that


    aspect.”


    “Can you get the butler to give me a copy of Arthur‘s itinerary when hees back? I‘ll look into it.”


    Richard was determined to carry out the investigation.


    “I‘ll leave it to you.” Martha was also terribly worried. Her grandson had turned into a cold and aloof


    person, and she was anxious about it.


    Meanwhile, in theboratory, Johnny was also gathering data on Arthur‘s recent


    emotional changes. In the end, he found out that his medicine had destroyed Arthur‘s nervous system


    as a side effect, robbing the man of his emotions.


    Something was wrong with Arthur‘s emotional mechanism, but Johnny‘s wife and daughter were still in


    the dark about this as they were still rejoicing over the wedding.


    Johnny thought that he should observe for a while longer, hoping that these symptoms would heal with


    time. He couldn‘t offer a better treatment, after all.


    Nheless, Johnny knew that if his daughter married Arthur, he wouldn‘t have to worry about funds


    for hisboratory anymore. He could make the best use of thisboratory and invent even more


    wondrous things than this. By then, he would be famous all over the world.


    Thus, out of concern for his own prestige, he decided not to cure Arthur. He could treat the man as a


    research subject so that more observations could be carried out.
