This world is completely unfamiliar to me.I can’t discern the intentions of the people around me.Constantly being on guard is truly unnerving.”
It was rare for Laney to see Natalie so depressed,and she felt bad for her.Laney held Natalie’s hand and comforted her, “You’re right.We,women,should prioritize ourselves.Let men deal with their mess themselves.”
Natalie was intrigued by Laney’s words.”Have you ever been hurt by a man?”she asked.
Embarrassed,Laney looked at her awkwardly and asked,”Why do you ask?”
Natalie smirked cheekily and said,”You looked aggrieved when you were comforting me.I know that look,even though I’ve lost my memories.”
Laney blushed and rubbed her neck as she considered whether she should tell Natalie about it or not.
Looking at Laney behaving shyly,Natalie couldn’t help teasing.
“t’s the man from last night,isn’t it?Garrett,right?”
Laney’s face turned redder.She patted Natalie’s shoulder and said,”Stop guessing.”
From Laney’s actions,Natalie knew she hit the jackpot.
She remembered Garrett leaving the injured Brandon alone yesterday and shook her head disappointedly.”I don’t think that man is reliable,’she said with a sigh.
Laney smiled.She felt that Natalie wouldn’t understand her dynamics with Garrett after losing her memories,so she didn’t want to continue the conversation with her.Laney assured Natalie that everythina would be fine and took her to breakfast.
After breakfast,Natalie hesitated before visiting Brandon in his room as she couldn’t help worrying about him.
As soon as she entered his room,she saw Brandon sitting on the sofa with his head on the backrest.The food that Garrett sent this morning was still on the table.untouched.
Seeing this,Natalie felt her anger rising.”Why didn’t you eat?
You are injured.You need to energy to recover quickly,”she said crossly.
Brandon looked up at Natalie and said,”I don’t have any appetite.
Understanding that Brandon had just recovered from a fever.
Natalie softened her tone and said,”What do you want to eat?
rll cook for you.”
Brandon could feel the genuine concern in her voice and felt less depressed.But when he thought about the conversation he heard in the basement,his face darkened.”I don’t need your concern,”he said stubbornly.
Natalie was stunned for a few seconds.Before she could react,Brandon said coldly,”Since you want to leave,ll arrange for someone to take you away.”
Hearing Brandon’s hurtful words,Natalie felt her heart sink.
She knew she shouldn’t stay as she had no memories of them together,but when she heard his cold words,her heart couldnt help but ache.It was as if,in her subconscious,she knew that he wouldn’t have treated her so coldly.
Brandon suddenly froze when he detected the sadness and loneliness flashing across Natalie’s eyes.It was not until then that he realized how sharp-tongued he was.
She had lost her memories due to his negligence.It was only natural for her to keep her distance from him.She just wanted to find out how she lost her memories first.How could he be so cold to her just because she didn’t feel sad when Suzanne said she was pregnant with his child?
Before he could apologize,Natalie had already regained composure.”Well,thank you for saving me yesterday.I will leave by myself.No need to trouble others,”she said politely.
She endured her sadness and smiled at Brandon.
When she was about to leave,Brandon panicked and shouted, “Wait!”
Taking a deep breath,Natalie held back her tears.She still had her back turned to him when she asked calmly,”Mr.Larson, is there anything else?”
Brandon felt flustered for the first time in ages by her distant behavior.He was at a loss as he stammered,”…I didn’t mean to drive you away …”
Natalie bit her lip.Fear,sadness,timidity,and other emotions that she had tried so hard to suppress were instantly turned into grievances as she heard Brandon’s pleas.
Her eyes turned red,and she quickly wiped away her tears before they fell.
After a long while,she finally calmed down.She turned around and looked at Brandon,who was at a loss.She pretended to be calm and said,”I won’t bother you anymore.
Do you know who my parents are?Can you help me contact them?”
Brandon felt remorseful when he saw the redness in Natalie’s eyes.He reached out and apologized,”Tm sorry.I didnt mean that …”
However,before he could touch her,Natalie interrupted him, “Mr.Larson,could you please contact my parents as soon as possible?It would be best if you could do so now,’she said as she forced a smile.
Brandon tightened his grip on his phone and replied hoarsely, “Rest assured,it’s very safe here.If you ever need anything,I can get someone to buy it.”
He couldn’t let Johanna and Beal take Natalie away.Otherwise, knowing their tempers,it would be hard for him to see her again.
Moreover,he had searched for Natalie for a long time and had finally found her.He wanted to stay with her longer to get her to recognize him again.
However,Natalie was adamant about leaving.”Please contact my parents,”she said firmly.
Brandon stared at her for a while,and he knew there was no room for negotiation.He had no choice but to contact her parents.
“What?You found Natalie?How is she?Is she hurt?”Johanna asked,overjoyed.
Looking at the expectant look on Natalie’s face,Brandon replied,”She’s fine.Please come over.I will tell you the details when you’re here.”
Johanna and Beal exchanged surprised glances.”Tll be there soon,”Johanna said decisively.
After Brandon hung up the phone,Natalie realized he looked a little depressed.”What did my parents say?”she asked expectantly.
Brandon felt gloomy at the thought that Natalie would be leavina soon.He lowered his eyes and muttered,”They will pick you up soon.”
Natalie was thrilled by the news and said excitedly,”Thank you!”
Although Brandon was upset about her leaving,he was happy to see her excited.”Aren’t you in a hurry to recover your memory?Ill get my medical team on your case,”he offered.
Natalie nodded,her eyes shining brightly.
Brandon couldn’t help smiling when she agreed.He immediately called Frank and got him to bring his medical team over.
“The medical team is very skilled.Your memories will be recovered in no time,”he assured her.
Natalie nodded vigorously when suddenly,she remembered that Brandon hadn’t had breakfast yet.”By the way,are you hungry?ll cook you some noodles,okay?”she said.
“I can eat the breakfast Garrett sent.”Brandon said as he rejected her offer.He didn’t want Natalie to overwork herself. However,Natalie frowned and said,”The food is already cold. It’s no longer good for consumption.As a patient,you have to take good care of yourself.Please eat more nutritious meals.”
Without giving Brandon any room for negotiation,she took the cold breakfast away and went to the kitchen to prepare a delicious and nutritious meal of noodles.
As Brandon ate the noodles Natalie made.the familiar taste warmed his heart,but it also made him a little sad.
He was delighted to eat her cooking again.Unfortunately,she couldn’t remember who he was.
After finishing his noodles,Brandon fixed his eyes on Natalie, who was cleaning up the table,with mixed emotions.
After a while,he took a deep breath and asked hoarsely.
“Have you really forgotten about our past?”
