Chapter 433

The next moment, a voice from outside reached everyone's cars. "Mr. Holt Senior, I apologize for the abrupt visit. It's Silas."

Ernest glanced at Jairo.

"Aren't you familiar with Silas? Why all that fuss?"

Jairo smiled wryly. He just wanted to be certain He muttered as he headed for the door, Silas always has to make an entrance, doesn't he?"

Realizing it was a false alarm, Felix left the table. Despite everything, Silas was senior who had even saved him once, so proper etiquette was necessary.

It was normal for someone of Ernest's status to know Silas.

When Silas entered and saw Felix, a hint of surprise flashed in the eyes visible beneath his

mask.

'How would you have time to visit an old man like me? Have you eaten? Come and join us.

Only after Ernest spoke did Silas reply, saying, "I've already eaten. I came to discuss something with you, Mr. Holt Senior. Is it a good time?"

"Let's go.

The two went upstairs, and Sherlyn called Felix back to continue eating.

About ten minutes later, it seemed the conversation was done, as they both came downstairs.

"So, the mysterious young miracle doctor who cured your strange symptoms was Felix?"

Silas asked.

Ernest smiled. "Of course, who else could it be?"

Silas pondered for a while, as if being conflicted. He looked as if he was making a difficult decision.

"Since Felix is also here, Mr. Holt Senior, I have an unusual request. I hope you can act as a witness. I will tell you about the details once we go to Felix's house." Seeing Silas in such a state for the first time, it was clear that Ernest was hesitant. He turned and gave Felix a glance.

"Alright. Let's go to my place."

Although Sherlyn's curiosity was at its peak, she could only watch them leave. Even Jairo was asked by Silas to wait outside and not enter the villa.

"Silas, can you tell me what it is about now?" Felix was puzzled.

Whatever Silas was treating so seriously had to be significant.

"Then, I'll be direct. Felix, did my apprentice Zara remove that poison from you?"

"Yes, I contacted her as soon as I woke up, but her phone has been off. I was just wondering about it. Do you know where she is?"

Silas' response left Felix astonished. "I've placed her under house arrest."

Felix frowned, looking visibly displeased. "Just for removing my poison? Silas, you shouldn't be so petty and unreasonable."

Silas' expression didn't change. "Of course not. Felix, tell me. During her treatment, did you feel as if you were dreaming, yet it was so vivid?"

Perhaps Silas spoke indirectly since Ernest was present, but he clearly knew what had happened in that so-called dream.

"Yes, What are you trying to say, Silas? Is this related to Zara's confinement?"

Silas nodded. "Yes! And it's deeply connected. I hope Mr. Holt Senior will bear witness to this. Felix, I need you to promise me to never contact Zara again from now on. Even if you meet by chance, pretend not to know her, and you must not interact with her at all."

At last, Ernest intervened, saying, "Isn't that too unreasonable? I know Felix's character well, and so do you. Why does it sound like you're implying he might take your apprentice away or harm her?"

Turning to him, Silas spoke solemnly, "Mr. Holt Senior, Felix really cannot have any more interaction with my apprentice, I have my reasons.

"There are things I simply cannot tell you. I intended to find Felix today anyway, and since he was at your place, I hope you'll be a witness. That way, I will believe in what he said."
