Chapter 1867
Merchant City Central Hospital,
After completing all the necessary checkups, Jim sat in the doctor’s room and listened to the doctor’s explanation
“Under normal circumstances, people will usually lose their memories after being put through immense physical and psychological trauma. Your situation, however, Mr. Landry…is a little peculiar.”
The doctor furrowed his brows in puzzlement as he stared at Jim’s lab report. “I’ll prescribe you some medications that can help with your heart’s function for now. !
“A week from today, you have to come back for another checkup to see if anything has improved.”
With that, he put down the papers and glanced earnestly at Jim’s face. “Why don’t you go out now and ask your girlfriend to come in? I want to talk to her privately about some matters to look out for when taking care of you.”
Jim frowned upon hearing this, “Am I not allowed to listen in?”
The doctor smiled. “It’s just some boring instructions and special precautions, but if you want to sit in and listen, it won’t be an issue.”
Jim furrowed his brows, opened the door, and asked Charlotte to come in.
The doctor was right; he was indeed giving Charlotte some instructions and precautions that did not sound interesting at all.
After listening for a while and deeming it boring, Jim got up and left the room.
When Jim’s footsteps rounded the corner and disappeared, Charlotte narrowed her eyes and got up to close the room door.
I’ve been missing you like crazy.” The middle-aged doctor hugged Charlotte from behind as soon as she shut the door and pressed a gentle kiss on the back of her neck. “What took you so long to come to see m e after returning to Merchant City?
“You wouldn’t even be standing here if I hadn’t helped you undergo your plastic surgery.”
Charlotte rolled her eyes upon hearing this, her back still toward the doctor.
A split second later, she turned around and kissed the doctor’s jaw, smiling. “You know fully well what I’ve been up to lately.
“Now that Jim has just gotten back together with me… I have to be careful and cover up my tracks.
*After I kill the two old geezers from the Landry family and chase Luna out of Merchant City, I’ll become the closest person by Jim’s side, and half of the Landry family fortune will become mine.
‘Since you’re my lifesaver, I’ll definitely remember to send you some money when that happens.”
The doctor smirked when he heard this. “That sounds about right.”
With that, he lifted Charlotte’s chin and pressed his lips forcefully against hers.
The doctor was very quick, and just ten minutes later, the two of them returned to their seats, fully dressed once more.
“The medicine I prescribed for Jim is to inhibit the activity of the memory-preserving areas in his brain. As long as he continues taking it, well…he’ll never be able to regain his memories, so don’t worry.”
Charlotte tidied her shirt collar elegantly and winked suggestively at the doctor. “You know me too well.”
In the small garden behind the hospital, Christopher lowered Bonnie, who had just gotten her dressing changed and received a painkiller shot, into a bench.
“The pharmacy is packed with people, so you wait here and get some sun while I go get your medicine for
you.”
A pale-faced Bonnie nodded and replied, “Thank you.”
Christopher curled his lips into a smile. “There’s no need to thank me. This is all in a day’s work.”
With that, he turned around and left.
Bonnie sat alone on the bench and closed her eyes, feeling the warmth of the sunlight on her skin.
As soon as her eyes closed, the first thing she recalled was how intimate Charlotte and Jim had looked while they were in the elevator.
Since Bonnie was the heiress to Craig Group and Jim was the CEO of Landry Group, the two of them had been forced to keep a low profile during their relationship for fear of anyone finding out, and they only had the rare opportunity to have physical contact when no one was looking.
