After a moment of silence,Natalie looked down and shook her head.”Tm sorry.I can’t remember anything,”she replied.
Brandon’s eyes darkened.
Although he had already known the answer,he couldn’t help feeling disheartened when he heard Natalie’s reply.
There were only two of them in the room.Natalie felt a little uncomfortable with Brandon staring at her.”I..Ill put the tableware in the kitchen.Rest well”she whispered and tried to leave in a hurry, However,Brandon grabbed her wrist when she was about to stand up.
Natalie panicked and blushed.”What are you doing?”she asked as she tried to break free.
However.Brandon held her wrist tightly and stared into her eyes.”Can you hear me out?”he asked with his voice full of sadness.
After a short pause,Natalie stopped struggling and said.
“What do you want to tell me?”
Brandon closed his eyes,trying to hold back his sadness.”It doesn’t matter if you forget our past.I can tell you everything that happened between us.I remember everything clearly, he said as his voice trembled with uneasiness.
At this moment,Brandon looked so sincere that Natalie couldnt find the heart to refuse him.She couldnt help blushing all the way to her ears.
Brandon held her wrist.and his face was so close to her that she could feel his warm breath on her cheek.Natalie was somewhat at a loss and wanted to shift away.
Brandon seemed to know what was on her mind.He held her hand tightly and whispered,”Don’t avoid me.I missed you every day when you were away.I haven’t seen you in a long while.Please stay with me.”
Under Brandon’s pitiful eyes,Natalie froze and was at a loss.
As far as she could remember,she had never seen Brandon so sad.
Even yesterday,while he was avoiding the killers or tending to his wound alone,he remained calm,No matter how dire the situation was,he would always exuded strength and protect her.
She didnt expect such a powerful man could be so fragile just because she couldn’t remember him and wanted to leave.
Were they really so in love?
Looking at the reflection of herself in Brandon’s eyes,Natalie felt as if she was everything to him.As if they were the only ones in the entire world.
Leaning against the headboard,Brandon gazed fixedly at her and sa

id in a low voice,Tve looked for you for more than two months…In the past two months,I’m always thinking about you.I was afraid that you would be hurt and no one would be there to protect you.I miss you so much …”
Natalie felt her heartskip a beat,and then her heart raced.
In the quiet room,an unexplainable atmosphere of romance seemed to be spreading, At this moment.Brandon looked at the blushina Natalie.
Although he was sober,he seemed drunk as he couldn’t help but bend over to ki*s her.
Just as his lips were about to touch her face,the door was pushed open with a resounding bang that shattered the moment.
Garrett rushed in and shouted,”Bad news!Suzanne had a miscarriage!She’s bleeding very badly,and her condition is very unstable!”
The romantic ambiance instantly shattered.Startled by the interruption,Natalie jolted to her feet and quickly retreated a few steps back,her face flushed with embarrassment.
It was not until then that Garrett realized he interrupted something.He asked awkwardly,”Were.….Were you busy?”
Brandon was furious by Garrett’s interruption as he was so close to ki*sing Natalie.
His wound started hurting,but he endured the pain and stared fiercely at Garrett.”Ignore her and get out of my room,”
he hissed.
Caught in an awkward situation,Garrett felt a profound sense of helplessness.He wished he could vanish into thin air,having never been there in the first place.
Why was he perpetually ill-fated to disrupt Brandon’s private moments?
Brandon,shooting a cool glance at the stunned Garrett.
questioned in a chilly voice,”Why haven’t you left?Do you require an official invitation to exit?”
“Ill go!I’m leaving right now!”Sporting a sheepish grin, Garrett carefully backed away,making an attempt to flee.
“Hold on!”Natalie’s face turned grave as she abruptly halted him.
“Do you plan to berate me for ruining your intimate moment as well?”Garrett queried,looking at Natalie with a pitiful qaze.
Natalie’s cheeks turned a shade of pink as she glared at him.
“What are you insinuating?”
Confused,Garrett scratched his head and retorted,”Then why do you want me to stay?
Upon uttering those words,he behaved as though he was genuinely unwilling to play the third wheel.
Natalie glanced at Brandon and said earnestly,”When I went down to the basement,I saw Suzanne in a dreadful state.We should call for medical help.Regardless of Suzanne’s transgressions,it’s a matter of life and death.We can’t let her perish here.”
A frown creased Brandon’s brow as he helplessly glanced at her.”Your kindness knows no bounds.”
Natalie lowered her gaze,the images she had just seen replaying in her mind.Her voice held a trace of heaviness.
“When I saw Suzanne earlier,it was as if I was witnessing Laneys catastrophic hemorrhage during childbirth…No matter how evil Suzanne may be,the unborn child she carries is innocent.”
Both Brandon and Garrett were taken aback,particularly Garrett.A sliver of guilt flashed across his eyes upon hearing Natalie’s words.He nodded.”Alright,don’t immediately send for my team to rescue Suzanne.”
Following Garrett’s hasty departure,the room sank into silence once more.Natalie leaned against the wall,head lowered,her thoughts a mystery.
After a lengthy pause,she lifted her gaze to meet Brandon’s.
She seemed to want to voice something but hesitated.
“Suzanne’s baby … .”
Brandon understood her unspoken question.His expression darkened,and a wave of discomfort washed over him.
Sensing Brandon’s troubled demeanor,Natalie explained reluctantly,”It’s not that I distrust you.I just find it peculiar that she’s so certain the baby is yours.”
Rubbing his forehead in exhaustion,Brandon asserted firmly, “I have no connection to Suzanne’s baby.”
Natalie asked,her voice laced with skepticism,”How can you be so certain?”
A shiver of repugnance passed through Brandon’s eyes as he recalled the past events, Jeremy and Suzanne had been surveilling the hotel where we had been staying.Their plan was to impregnate Suzanne using the condoms we had discarded.However,I had already perceived their ploy and had ordered for the trash to be swapped out.”
Natalie’s eyes widened in disbelief.”They stole your used condoms?”
Brandon nodded,his face clouding over.’The surveillance footage still exists.If you’re skeptical,I can arrange for you to view it.”
Natalie was taken aback by the unfolding events.Laughter bubbled up within her,impossible to contain.’They actually resorted to stealing condoms …
Brandon’s expression darkened further as Natalie’s laughter echoed through the room.
Eventually,Natalie’s mirth subsided,and she wiped the tears of amusement from her eyes.
Attempting to retain his dignity,Brandon stated rigidly,”Now, can you finally believe me?”
