These intricate questions left Laney in a quandary.She was unsure whether to have Suzanne admitted to the hospital or to inform Brandon about the situation.
She couldn’t resist sneaking glances at Natalie to gauge her reaction.
Natalie’s face turned noticeably darker after hearing the news.
She looked at Laney with a furrowed brow.”So, that guy is the father of Suzanne’s baby?Does that mean…he already has a wife and child?” Seeing her expression become increasingly severe,Laney rushed to clarify,”Don’t fret, Natalie.Suzanne is just a pawn for Jeremy.She couldn’t possibly be carrying Brandon’s child. She’s merely causing a fuss.Pay her no mind.”
She then turned to the bodyguard,who was awaiting orders.”You may take Suzanne to any hospital.Just ensure she doesn’t die.”
“Understood.”The bodyguard was about to leave upon receiving the instruction but was halted by Natalie.
“Wait!I know Suzanne.I’ll accompany you.”
“What…”The bodyguard looked at Laney, visibly flustered.
Being a new bodyguard,he was unaware of who Natalie was.Believing her to be just a friend of Laney’s,he didn’t dare permit anyone to visit Suzanne without Laney’s approval.
Laney blurted out,”Haven’t you lost your memory?How do you remember Suzanne?”
Natalie responded casually,”When I was living with my bro…Jeremy,Suzanne resided in the adjacent room.Hence,I’m acquainted with her.” Laney looked surprised at this.”Didn’t she cause trouble for you?”
“Jeremy forbade her from approaching me. However,she constantly flaunted her belly in my presence.Initially,I didn’t understand her intentions,but if what you’re saying is accurate, and she’s carrying Brandon’s child,then it’s starting to make sense.”
Laney,taken aback,tried to defend Brandon. “You don’t actually believe Suzanne,do you?I highly doubt that Brandon is the father.He truly cares about you …”
“You’re not certain,are you?”Natalie cut her off. “Take me to see her.What if Suzanne’s claim is true?”
Looking distressed,Laney conceded,”Alright, let’s go see her.”
However,just as a precaution,she asked the bodyguard to notify Brandon.Then,she accompanied Natalie to the basement to visit Suzanne.
In the basement,Suzanne was curled up on a dingy,old carpet.Her face was gaunt,and she clutched her slightly distended belly in pain, crying intermittently,”Ouch,it hurts!My baby … Help me!Bring Brandon here!I’m pregnant with his baby!”
The door’s bodyguard shot her a cold, contemptuous glance.”If you were indeed carrying Mr.Larson’s child,why would he leave you here?”
His words seemed to fuel Suzanne’s hysteria. She began shouting,”Im carrying Brandon’s child!He can perform a paternity test!If I lose my baby,you all will pay with your lives!”
Natalie and Laney could hear Suzanne shouting hysterically even before reaching the basement For a moment, they stood at the entrance of the basement, looking stunned Natalie lowered her eyes. “Suzanne seems very sure that her child is Brandon’s,” she said emotionlessly Although Natalie didn’t have memories of Brandon, her heart curiously ached when she heard the news Meanwhile, Laney felt at a loss. She used to be a professional bodyguard and solved a lot of problems for rich families. However, never had she experienced such a complicated problem during her many years as a bodyguard!

ange in appearance.
Suzanne’s sudden announcement that she was pregnant with Brandon’s child After a few seconds of silence, Natalie reached out and wanted to push the door open However, Laney stopped her and persuaded her in a hushed voice, “I think we should leave.”
Feeling puzzled, Natalie turned around and asked, “Why?”
“Suzanne’s mental state isn’t the best since she was locked up in the basement. She must be trying to get Brandon to release her by spouting nonsense. Besides, you have just returned and haven’t regained your memories. I’m afraid your relationship with Brandon will be affected if you hear her nonsense,” said Laney worriedly After pondering over Laney’s words, Natalie gently brushed her hand away and said in a tender but firm tone, “I want to go in and have a look.”
Laney sighed and let Natalie go. She knew she couldn’t stop Natalie They entered the basement together, and soon, Suzanne’s shouts halted Suzanne was lying on the floor as she looked coldly at Natalie, who was standing in front of her. “Natalie,why are you still alive?” she asked resentfully Looking at Suzanne, Natalie said calmly, “Suzanne, are you the one who set me up and led me to the casino?”
Suzanne laughed evilly and sneered, “Yes, I wanted to send you to hell. But you got lucky and made it out alive despite seeing their private transaction in the casino.”
Natalie squatted down and looked at Suzanne’s vicious eyes. “Why? Do you hold a grudge against me?” she asked composedly Suzanne was stunned by the calmness in Natalie’s eyes. She then laughed complacently and replied, “Does it matter?”
She stroked her belly gently while grinning in a sinister way. Her eyes looked extremely dangerous as she continued, “So what if you’re not dead? I’m already pregnant with Brandon’s child. I’m bearing the future heir of the Larson Group, and the whole Larson Group will be mine! Hahaha …”
Natalie didn’t feel irritated by Suzanne’s taunts. Instead, she stood up and looked calmly at Suzanne as she said, “Well then, I wish you all the best.”
Suzanne felt a surge of anger as she felt as if Natalie was looking down on her Her eyes were full of resentment as she cursed at Natalie hysterically Blood started seeping under Suzanne’s body due to her hysteria. Natalie frowned as she smelt the strong odor of blood. She took two steps back and watched quietly as Suzanne went crazy After a long while, Suzanne finally lost her strength and lay weakly on the floor, staring at Natalie with her bloodshot eyes Seeing that Suzanne was finally quiet, Natalie continued questioning, “Do you know how I lost my memory? Did I injure my head or did Jeremy let me take some kind of medicine?”
Suzanne couldn’t react as she didn’t expect Natalie to change the topic so quickly Moreover, the pain in her belly was increasing as time went by. Every second felt like torture After a while, she clutched her belly and gasped painfully, “Why … Why are you so calm?”
Natalie was confused by the question. “What do you mean?” she asked Suzanne felt a sharp pain in her belly and had beads of sweat falling down from her forehead. She clutched her belly and cowered in pain. Enduring the pain with all her strength, she asked, “I’m pregnant with Brandon’s child..
Does it not bother you? Why are you not angry that the baby is Brandon’s?”
At the same time,Brandon,despite his injuries,was racing towards the basement with Garrett.The news that Natalie had gone to see Suzanne had propelled him into action.
Even though Suzanne was surrounded by professional bodyguards,and couldn’t cause any real trouble,Brandon was still concerned.If the guards failed to contain Suzanne,she might harm Natalie.
Furthermore,Natalie had lost her memory.If Suzanne attempted to turn her against him,he would have to invest more time and effort to win Natalie’s heart again.
Trailing behind Brandon,Garrett was plagued with his own worries.
Ever since Suzanne had been brought back,she had claimed that the baby she was carrying was Brandon’s.Brandon, however,hadn’t provided any clarification.
Although Garrett trusted Brandon,he was fearful of the possibility that Suzanne’s claim might be true.
Especially given Suzanne’s unwavering certainty,Garrett found himself filled with doubt.All he could do was silently hope that no further complications would arise.
Caught up in their individual thoughts,they arrived at the basement.Upon reaching a corner,they overheard Suzanne questioning Natalie.
Brandon came to an abrupt halt.Garrett,caught off guard, nearly collided with him.
“What’s wrong?”Garrett had been lost in thought and hadn’t heard Suzanne’s voice.He looked at Brandon,puzzled.”Why aren’t we proceeding?”
Brandon gave him a frosty glance,signaling him to remain silent.
Garrett complied,sealing his lips.Though he was clueless about the situation unfolding in the basement,he knew better than to ask.
In the basement.Suzanne’s voice echoed.Natalie,you don’t truly care about Brandon,do you?”
Unaware that Brandon and Garrett were listening around the corner,Natalie didn’t want to waste her time on Suzanne.She coldly responded,”I just want to know why Ive lost my memory.”
Facing Natalie’s emotionless expression,Suzanne suddenly let out a bitter laugh.”Why.….Why?”
She pounded on the floor,yelling in madness,’I went to great lengths to get close to him,but you don’t care about him at al!!Why?”
Suzanne was still bleeding.The pungent odor of blood was unbearable for Natalie,who frowned and took a step back.
“Calm down.”
On hearing this,Suzanne abruptly looked up,her eyes fixed on Natalie.”I don’t believe you and Brandon are that deeply in love.You don’t even care about Brandon fathering a child with someone else.Brandon has done so much for you,and I genuinely feel sorry for him..”
Touching her belly,she erupted into maniacal laughter.”For your sake.Brandon could even kill his own child,yet he stilll can’t win your heart.How absurd!”
Natalie disregarded Suzanne’s wild rant,focusing instead on the blood-stained floor.Realizina that she wouldn’t get any meaningful information from Suzanne,she instructed,”Ihave no further questions.Take her to the hospital.”
The two bodyguards exchanged a glance with Laney and, seeing her agreement,promptly dragged Suzanne out.
Once they were alone in the basement,Laney tentatively asked,”Don’t you care if Suzanne’s child is Brandon’s?”
After a moment of contemplation,Natalie responded.”It’s not that I don’t care.It’s just that I don’t remember who he is.”
She let out a soft sigh,her voice tinged with sadness.”I don’t remember who he is,who I am,and what our relationship used to be.Compared to these complications,I am more concerned about recovering my memory.”
Laney was at a loss for words,unable to find a way to console her.She could only offer a comforting pat on Natalie’s shoulder.
Forcing a smile,Natalie admitted,”My mind is a blank slate.
