A complex look flashed across Harrison’s eyes. After staring at Natalie for a long while, he finally broke the silence. “It seems like you really can’t remember it at all. What a pity. Anyway, you should leave. I won’t tell you anything about the happenings back then, unless…”
“Unless what?” She clenched her fists subconsciously.
Upon seeing her response, his eyes gleamed cunningly. “Unless you let Jared return to me and the Smith family.”
Ever since Jasmine passed away, Susan had been nagging him to adopt a child so that he would have a child to take care of him when he became old. She even recommended her distant cousin’s son and took him to their house.
Hmph! Even though Susan said it would be for my own good, I know that she wants her nephew to inherit my property once I pass away. I’m still alive and kicking. Yet, she has started plotting and coveting my inheritance as if she can’t wait for me to be gone. Besides, I’ll never let an outsider inherit my fortune. Hence, all this while, I’ve not given up on bringing Jared back.
“How opportunistic.” Natalie let out a scoff. “Dream on. I’ll never let Jared come back to this household. If you don’t want to tell me, don’t say anything then. I didn’t expect much from you anyway.”
With that, she turned on her heel and left.
Once she was out of the Smith Residence, her head began throbbing in pain again.
The pain was so intense that she had to squat down at once and massaged her temples with a grave expression.
My head had been hurting multiple times today. At this rate, I’ll have headaches all day long.
I can’t hold off a medical consultation anymore. This is serious.
With such thought in mind, she dialed Stanley’s number.
The call soon got through, and his voice rang from the other side of the line. “Hi, Nat.”
She closed her eyes slightly to reduce the pain. “Stanley, are you in hospital now?”
Hearing her weak voice, he asked concernedly, “Yup. Are you okay?”
“I have a headache again. Are you free to have a consultation with me today? Do you mind if I come over now?” She forced herself not to focus on the images flashing through her mind.
As soon as he heard that, he pushed his glasses up, and an indecipherable emotion flickered in his eyes. “Sure. Take care and drive safely.”
“Okay.”
After she ended the call, Stanley put down his phone on his desk, narrowing his eyes as he stared out of the window.
Ever since he suspected that a section of her memory was erased with hypnosis, he had been longing to know more about it.
I wonder why she forgets that part of her memory. At last, I’ll have the answer soon.
Meanwhile, Natalie drove to the hospital and went straight to his office after she arrived.
Unbeknownst to her, Jackson was in that hospital as well. Upon seeing her figure walking across the hall, he did a double-take. “Huh? Isn’t that Natalie? Why is she here?”
I’m just here to take a batch of anesthetics. Who would have thought I’d bump into her in this hospital?
That’s the Neurology Department.
Is she here for Stanley?
Hmm, I do know that he’s back to the city recently.
He even visited me to transfer some documents from the hospital where I work to this hospital.
Therefore, it’s possible she’s here for Stanley.
On that note, Jackson immediately took out his phone and called Shane.
While over on the other side, Shane was in a meeting. When he heard his phone ringing, he took a look at it and declined the call without a second of hesitation.
Jackson pursed his lips and muttered under his breath, “It’s okay. I’ll make you call instead.”
Smirking, he texted Shane: Your wife is with Stanley now.
He even added a smiley face at the end of the message.
After Shane read the text, his expression darkened instantly.
In that spacious meeting room, everyone noticed his livid expression, but none of them understood why.
Exchanging looks among themselves, they wondered if they were the ones who made him upset.
“Meeting adjourned.” After he uttered those two words to his employees, he went out of the room and called Jackson.
Upon seeing the caller ID on his phone, a smug grin crept across Jackson’s youthful face. “Hi.”
