Chapter 246

At night, Artemis chatted with Zayron in the ward at the medical base for a while.

Only after his son had fallen asleep did he get to his feet and leave.

When he pushed open the door to the study and stepped into the room, Justin was reclining against the couch.

The man had a stack of documents in his hands and was flipping through them.

Upon seeing that the door was pushed open, he instinctively raised his eyes. As his gaze alighted on Artemis, he quirked a brow and asked, “What exactly happened that you're acting all mysterious?”

Artemis walked over and sat down across from him. After a moment's silence, he murmured unhurriedly, “Do you still remember the incident that transpired in Pontotium seven years ago?”

Justin was stunned, and his body started stiffening.

I naturally remember the incident that transpired in Pontotium seven years ago. Even if I'm old and my memory begins failing me, I'll never forget that experience.

Back then, the organization's leader locked him in a cage. That aside, the man injected him with an aphrodisiac and released a few tigers into the cage. However, he had absolutely no recollection of whatever happened thereafter.

When he came to again, he was lying on a hospital bed in the ward of a local hospital.

He was a doctor, so he knew all too well whether he had been violated by the beasts.

Apart from scratch marks from wild animals on his body, there were two palm prints. Precisely speaking, they belonged to a woman.

He reckoned that he bedded a woman while he wasn't in his right mind, so he tried investigating the woman's identity after the incident, but to no avail.

“What are you trying to say? And why did you suddenly bring that matter up?”

Sighing softly, Artemis took a photo out of his pocket and handed it to Justin.
