“After that incident, Wayne let this poor little guy live with him. Of course, he looked into this case, but he didn’t find anything. We just know that the babysitter on duty that day sneaked out. She does this often because Matthew is an obedient and well–behaved child. She had snuck out before, and nothing happened. But, Matthew had a fever that day.”

Karl remembered the details of the incident well. This was because he had never seen Wayne lose his temper that much since he had known him Although Wayne always said that he didn‘t care about children, and that he was forced to have children by his grandfather, Matthew was his child after all. Wayne became anxious immediately after Matthew was in danger.

“How did they punish the babysitter?” Ryan asked.

“She was sacked, of course. Wayne has picked some new maids since he‘s been living with Matthew. Whenever he traveled, he would bring Matthew with him. But, if Wayne can‘t take care of him, he would let Ada do that. Ada was, of course, very cautious. After all, she was the only woman who could be around Matthew at that time. You know, a lot of women wanted to marry Wayne and be Matthew‘s stepmother.”

Ryan said calmly. “Well, I don‘t think so. It was not until that incident than Ada got to be around Matthew and thus stay with Wayne. If you look at it this way, Ada benefited the most from the incident.”

Karl didn‘t hear the implication of his words and said, “Yes, that‘s what I meant.”

Anna immediately Ryan‘s implication that and asked, “Are you saying that Matthew‘s accident might had something to do with Ada?”

Everyone froze.

Ryan remained calm, saying, “Oh, I‘m just speculating. You all know that Wayne didn‘t like to have women around him. But, Ada was the only woman who could be with him. He didn‘t care much for her, but if she could benefit from this accident, then it all makes sense.”
