Chapter 313 PAIN (4)
The fragments of memories flashed back into Ramon's memory, playing like a short film clip that went too fast.
Ramon remembered how he first spent the night with Giana, telling some secrets that could make her more trusting in him and less suspicious when Ramon wanted to know more about Giana's family under the pretext of understanding her more deeply.
People always say that when you share a secret in your life, other people will do the same.
Therefore, by telling some secrets that Ramon thought was safe enough to tell Giana, Ramon began to nurture deeper feelings between the two of them.
Just to achieve his goal.
And sure enough, Giana was more than happy to talk about her experiences as a child, how her school life was, the relationship between her parents and also about Leon.
Giana said that she was Leon's favorite, where her uncle still contacted her and kept in touch with her even though his name had been removed from the Dawson family.
Ramon even managed to figure out some of the secrets between the Dawsons and the Smiths from Giana, as well as the company secrets that Giana had told him offhand, because she didn't suspect Ramon at all and let her guard down whenever she was with him.
There were so many things that Ramon had learnt and the information he got was crucial…
It wasn't strange when he lost his memory, he instantly felt that important parts were missing and the things he remembered didn't fit.
Ramon's headache only intensified, making him groan constantly, clenching his jaw hard and tightening his fists until his knuckles turned white.
His breathing quickened while his heart was beating very fast, along with beads of sweat falling from his temples.
Ramon had never felt an attack like this before and got so many memories at a time, it was as if he could remember everything, except…
Except when he had the accident. Ramon remembered the memories of him being strapped to a chair, in an old barn with a partially detached roof and shattered glass.
But, after that, nothing. Ramon hadn't gotten back all the lost memories yet…
It's just that, maybe because Ramon was pushing himself so hard that it tired his body too much, now Ramon couldn't even sit up and rolled over to his right side. Breathing hard.
Ramon's face was pale and the pain lasted twice as long as the last time he had this attack and there was no sign that it would stop any time soon.
Several scenes repeated in Ramon's head, such as when he saw his parents fighting and how his father looked at Lexus with hatred, which caused Lexus to be closer to him than their parents.
Ramon also recalled old memories that were almost completely forgotten by him, when Lexus was beaten by their father and he was so angry about it.
How could Ramon forget all that?
Shouldn't that be a memory that would stick with him forever? Such memories are not something that can be simply forgotten. Even though it happened a long time ago.
It took a while for the attack to subside and he could think a little more clearly…
That's when Ramon heard a knock on his car window. It was David. The bodyguard was so worried because Ramon didn't come out of the car and decided to check again at the risk of facing Ramon's anger.
"Are you okay, Sir?" asked David when Ramon finally got out of the car with a pale face. "Do we need to go to the hospital?"
"What about Lexus?" asked Ramon. His voice sounded very hoarse, like someone who had not had a drink for days.
"Lexus is still in the room and hasn't come out yet," David answered Ramon's question straightforwardly. He immediately followed Ramon who walked straight into the room where Lexus and Leon were.
Apparently, Ramon's patience had run out and he had no more free time to persuade the man.
So, if the man really intended to die, Ramon would gladly kill him.
================
"F City…" Lexus muttered. "You kept Hailee in F city? In one of your properties?" he asked. And Lexus could see Leon's pupils dilating visibly.
Small changes like these meant a lot to someone who could understand micro-expressions and Lexus is quite proficient at this.
It's not that Ramon couldn't do the same, it's just that his unstable emotions and feelings would affect his judgment and he didn't have enough patience and composure at a time like this to deal with Leon.
There was no way Ramon could discern the slightest changes in his facial expressions when the thing Ramon wanted most when he was around Leon was to torture him until he got the answer he wanted.
"So, she's in city F…" Lexus confirmed and he again saw Leon's very subtle confirmation gesture. "Thank you for answering all my questions," said Lexus with a sweet smile at the end of the monologue session, because since the beginning of Lexus's questionnaire, Leon hadn't said a single word to him.
On the other hand, Leon didn't know whether he should laugh or cry when he saw Lexus' extraordinary analytical abilities.
His son really has the potential to lead the Tordoff, Dawson and Smith companies.
Yes… Leon wants Smith's company as well and Giana is working on it without knowing the real intentions behind Leon's plan.
And now, seeing Lexus' amazing skills, Leon found himself getting increasingly ambitious to make his son what he wanted.
Power…
Who wouldn't be tempted by this? As a man, of course it is very important ... and according to him, Lexus is no exception.
"You know Lexus…" Leon began, his voice low, due to the pain he had to endure. "If you want, I can help you get everything you want… all the things you never imagined you would get…"
Lexus tilted his head and looked at Leon innocently, then said casually. "I already have what I wanted." Lexus then shrugged his shoulders. "I am rich, handsome, kind, friendly, loved by women, have a great brother and a sister-in-law who is beautiful and good at cooking, and now I will wait for the birth of my cute nephew. I don't lack anything."
Once again Leon was at a loss for words when he heard Lexus' unexpected answer. Maybe he is his real father, but he can't read his son's character at all...
"You don't have what I have, so there's no need to make any offers to me, because you look pathetic when you do that."
