Chapter 485 Agnes unconsciously shook her head.
What on earth was she thinking?
She had divorced Jared, and they had no contact at all.
He was going to be engaged, what did it have to do with her?
Agnes told Ryder, âNocâs condition has improved a bit recently. He used to sleep an average of 20 hours a day, but now heâs awake about half an hour longer each day.â
Ryder got up and said, âThe new medication is working quite well, but we dare not increase Nocâs dosage yet. Even though the possibility is slim, there is still an uncertain risk.â
Agnes nodded.
Next was the expert consultation.
Every month, Noc would have a consultation with the experts to keep track of his condition and any minor changes.
Of course, Noc would also undergo neuron stimulation therapy during this period.
By the time everything was over, it was noon.
At this point, Noc had dozed off.
Noc was only most awake in the late afternoon.
At other times, even if he was awake he was drowsy.
The consultation was over, and everyone left the meeting room.
Agnes picked up Noc.
Noc obediently lay on Agnesâ shoulder, sleeping soundly.
Ryder got up and walked over, asking, âDo you want to have lunch together?â
Agnes shook her head, âNo, I have some things to deal with.â
Over the years, Agnes had minimal personal interaction with Ryder, aside from necessary communication.
Ryder was no longer the cold young man he used to be.
He was now a key figure in a top medical research group, the youngest worldâclass neurologist.
His face had long shed its youthful immaturity, becoming a mature man.
In the hospital, Ryderâs face was still welcomed.
In the topâtier Hopson Hospital, unmarried nurses and doctors were all fond of him.
But over the years, he was focused on research, surgery, and academics, with no interest in romance.
Because he always flatly rejected those who pursued him, some people even spread rumors that he was gay.
The rumor lasted for two years, and almost everyone believed it.
But Ryder didnât care at all.
Ryder knew that Agnes wouldnât agree to have lunch together, so he wasnât disappointed, âThen be careful driving.â
Just as Agnes left, Ryder received a phone call.
âAre you still at the hospital?â A male voice came from the other end of the phone.
Ryder was a bit surprised, âUncle?â
Ryder was still used to calling Jared âuncleâ, even though he knew they were actually halfâbrothers with the same mother.
When the scandal broke out back then, he was studying intensively at the Novy Medical Team.
By the time everything was over, he only learned that many things had changed dramatically.
Jared went from his uncle to his real brother.
Even though the media hyped it up, speculating about the changes in the Whitfield familyâs relationships and the various impacts on the Tim Group.
In reality, they did not experience any substantial changes.
That incident was as if it had been completely forgotten by everyone in the Whitfield family.
Jared still called Alyssa âsisterâ, and their relationship didnât change much, just like before.
Since Ryder had been abroad for many years, this incident didnât affect him much.
âIâm here for a meeting and thought Iâd drop by to see you. How about we grab lunch together?â Jaredâs voice came from the other end of the phone.
