Johanna lowered her eyes and fell silent for a few seconds.
Then she looked at Beal again and said grimly, “There has to be something wrong with Brandon.
But Natalie needs to focus on tecovering for now.
We‘d better not tell her about it for the time being.” Beal nodded in agreement.
Seeing her parents come in, Natalie sat up in bed excitedly.
Worried about Brandon‘s health she couldn‘t fall asleep.
“Didn‘t I tell you to get some rest first? Why are you still awake?” Johanna asked helplessly, tucking Natalie under the blanket.
Natalie looked straight into her mother‘s eyes and asked, “Mom, what did Brandon say?” The smile on Johanna‘s face instantly became a little weird.
“Brandon said he‘d come soon.
In the meantime, he has asked us to take good care of you.” Natalie frowned slightly.
“Then let me call him.
I want to talk to him.
I‘m still ver y worried about his health.
And why did he change his phone number all of a sudden?” 1 Johanna hurriedly joked, “My, my, I‘ve never met anyone who misses her husband as much as you! no vel oz.c om Brandon just told us that there‘s something wrong with the company in Barnes and he was in between meetings when we called.
As for the change of number, his phone fell into the sea when he was searching for you.
Anyway, he‘s very busy right now.
Let‘s stop pestering him for now, okay?” .
Johanna tried to distract Natalie.
Hearing her mother‘s explanation, Natalie gradually calmed down.
Maybe it was because she missed Brandon so much after her near–death experience that she couldn‘t help making blind and disorderly conjectures.
They had only been apart for a week.
What could‘ve possibly gone wrong?
A fter hanging up the phone, brandon stood up and was about to leave for the meeting.
“Brandon, your wife has been found, right?” Charis asked in a seemingly casual tone.
She had been standing next to Brandon when the Whites called and had clearly overheard what they said.
Brandon had gone straight to work at the Larson Group headquarters as soon as he was discharged from the hospital.
He wanted to get his work back on track as soon as possible, but he didn‘t want other people to know that he had lost his memory.
Therefore, Brandon had asked Charis to brief him on the Larson Group‘s affairs over the past two years.
So over the past few days, Charis had been by Brandon‘s side nearly 24 /7.
Naturally, she had grown to become the person that Brandon relied on the most.
No one else in the Larson Group knew why she had left the company before, so now that she was back, nobody questioned it either.
After all, Charis was a senior executive of the company, and she was one of the partners who had founded Larson Group alongside Brandon.
Everyone respected her very much.
“Yes.
Just now, the White couple called and said they found her.” Brandon picked up a document from the table and spoke so calmly, it was as though the news was irrelevant to him.
“That‘s wonderful news!” A smile appeared on Charis‘ face.
It looked like she was very happy for Natalie.
However, the second Brandon lowered his head to skim through other documents on the table, the smile on her face faded away.
Her expression darkened and her eyes took on a dangerous light What a lucky bitch! Natalie managed to survive yet again! Charis was both shocked and angry.
It had rained heavily for two days and two nights after Natalie‘s car accident.
Given such dangerous circumstances, Natalie shouldn‘t have survived alone at sea.
Now that Natalie was back safe and sound, she‘d definitely screw up all of Charis‘ plans.
Charis knew that she was in deep trouble now.
She had to do something to stop Natalie and Brandon from getting back together.
However, she soon managed to calm down.
Judging from Brandon‘s attitude when he answered the phone just now, it was obvious that he didn‘t care much about Natalie now that he had lost all his memories of her.
The man who stood before Charis now was the Brandon from two years ago.
This was the Brandon who was devoted to his career and couldn‘t give a damn about romance.
The only thing that tied him to Natalie was their nominal marriage.
As long as Charis seized any and every opportunity to put obstacles in their path, she knew she could separate them forever.
Brandon didn‘t say anything more.
Gathering the documents needed for the meeting, he seemed to be deep in thought.
After a while, he broke the silence.
“After this meeting, you can get off work first.
I‘m going to the hospital to see Natalie.” .
He thought it was only right that he pay his own wife a visit.
After all, the White family held a high position in Barnes.
If he acted too indifferent, it would probably piss them off, which could be a detriment to the future development of the Larson Group in Barnes.
Smiling gently, Charis said sweetly, “Okay.
Please send my regards to Natalie.
You don‘t need to worry about the company.
I‘ll inform you if anything happens.”
After a busy afternoon, the meeting finally ended.
Brandon was waiting in his office for the driver to arrive.
All of a sudden, Charis burst into the room and cried, “Brandon, don‘t leave just yet.” 1 “What‘s wrong?” Brandon frowned.
“The company‘s security system has been hacked, and all confidential information is at the risk of being disclosed.
You‘d better come and see for yourself.” Charis had ran all the way up, so she was panting and out of breath.
Brandon‘s expression changed.
Hacked? How could such a thing happen all of a sudden?
The Brandon from two y ears ago was completely and utterly devoted to the Larson Group.
Nothing seemed to be able to affect his focus on work.
He had zero interest in women and thought that romance was just a distraction from success.
In a word, nothing was more important than the company he had started.
Even though Natalie was his wife, the Larson Group was still much more important than her.
Without the slightest hesitation, he immediately decided to stay.
Brandon loosened his tie and looked at Charis with his dark e y es.
“Call the staff of the network center here.” He put down his coat again and sat back in the chair.
Just then, Sean knocked on the door and poked his head in.
“Mr. Larson, the driver‘s downstairs.
Shall we go to the hospital now?” With his eyes fixed on the screen of the computer, Brandon didn‘t even bother to look up.
“Go see Natalie on my behalf.
