The Man in Power After Being Married into Her Family

Christian said emotionally, "He has been ill for more than two years now. In the beginning, I realized that he forgets things easily and sometimes, he'd just put something down and forget all about it in the next moment. Sometimes, he would forget something as soon as you've just mentioned it to him, or he'll understand you when you say something to him but after that, he'd come back and ask you about it again..."

"At that time, we had already let the best experts intervene and we also took him for some systematic training to fight the disease. However, the cause of this disease is the functional decline of the brain and so, there's no effective medical treatment for it. After that, his condition continued to deteriorate.Exclusive content from NôvelDrama.Org.

As Christian spoke of this, he smiled wryly and said, "Tell me, isn't this disease f*cking strange? The more recent the thing is, the more the person is unable to remember it, but the more distant the thing, the more a person can remember it. The old man's condition has developed to the point that his mind is completely blank when it comes to the last four or five years. My son has obviously already given him a greatgrandchild but he always thinks that my son isn't married yet. Every time he sees him, he'll urge my son to get married as soon as possible. If his condition continues to deteriorate, he might not be able to remember things from the past ten years. He might not even be able to recognize my son because in his memory, my son would be in the state of the young man that he was ten years ago..."

When Merlin heard this, he could not help but sigh as he said, "Uncle Acker was a global hero and he had been tough and strong all his life. It must really be a great torture for him to have this disease..."

Christian covered his face and took a deep breath. His eyes were a little red as he said, "His condition has been deteriorating and his memory has degraded from three or five years, to ten years or so. Six months ago, his memory degraded to about twenty years ago..." Having said that, Christian had a moment of silence and he could not stop the tears falling from his eyes.

Merlin's eyes widened and he blurted out," Christian, your sister's matter... happened close to twenty years ago, right...?" "Yes..." Christian sighed and said, "His current memory is stuck in the time when my sister had just died and that was the most painful stage of his life. At that time, he was filled with extreme regrets and selfcondemnation every day, and he would also be filled with tears every day. When his memory is stuck at this point in time, he would hold my sister's photo and secretly weep when he wakes up every day, saying that he killed my sister. His whole state has become particularly poor."

Merlin asked, "Then wouldn't it be better for time to pass? I mean if his memory continues degrading for a period of time, it will eventually degrade to the time before your sister's incident. Your sister and him were having a cold war at that time. So, wouldn't that be better for him?"

Christian nodded and said, "I've had the same thoughts as you have before, but I didn't expect that he wouldn't experience any memory degradation in the past six months... It might be because this period of time is too great of a blow for him and so his memory is stuck here..."

Merlin was momentarily stunned and it took him a moment before he muttered," Having his memory stuck at the most painful stage of his life... This... This is too damn cruel..."

"Yes..." Christian's eyes were red as he said, "It's really f*cking cruel...So, for the past six months, he basically has to go through the pain of having just lost his beloved daughter whenever he wakes up every day

As Christian spoke, he patted his chest, gritted his teeth, and said, "As a child, it's not a good feeling... to see my own father living in that kind of extreme pain every day..."

Merlin also felt a lump in his throat. He could not help but swallow as he spoke up and asked, "What did the doctor say? Is there any way? Let's not talk about treatment, but it would also be fine if we let his condition worsen and deteriorate, right?"

Christian shook his head and said with great dismay, "The doctor cannot do anything about it. The good or bad of this disease isn't subjected to external interference. In the end, it's the old man's own demons and he hasn't really been able to let go of it for so many years."

As Christian spoke of this, he took a sip of wine and said to Merlin, "So, can you understand why I'm such a fool to be willing to spend more than three hundred billion US dollars to buy the Rejuvenating Pill? With it, the old man would finally be relieved..."

Merlin did not say anything. He simply filled up his cup with wine and drank it all in one gulp before he said guiltily, "I'm sorry, Christian. I have a foul mouth. Please don't mind me."

Christian waved his hand and smiled as he said, "I've known you for so many f eking years. How could I still not know what kind of temper you have?"

Merlin nodded and asked him, "So, what's your next plan?"

Christian said, "I'm coming back to take a break. I still have to go back to Oskia after a while to see if I can find the owner of the Rejuvenating Pill. I'll have to find him to ask him for a Rejuvenating Pill no matter

what it is..." As Christian spoke of

this, he let sigh and he looked at the bottle of wine that was almost empty as he said in a hollow voice "Even if the old man has made all kinds of mistakes back then, after all that he has suffered altogether in the past six months, it could also be considered as repayment for his debt..."
