She and Brandon were standing right next to the haunted house. With the frightening sound of a cracking, the top of the tower snapped and fell towards the ground they were standing on!
Natalie had a lot of questions, but she couldnât utter a single word. She could only turn her face away from Brandon, silently drying the tears from her eyes.
As soon as Natalie was wheeled into the treatment room in a wheelchair, Brandon informed Beal and Johanna. Johanna couldnât remember how many times Natalie had been hospitalized in the last six months. She felt sorry and worried for her daughter.
Naturally, she no longer planned to be nice to Brandon. The doctor carefully treated Natalieâs back while Brandon stood in the corner of the room, his eyes fixed on the numerous blisters on her smooth skin.
Finally, he couldnât help but ask, âWill she be scarred?â Brandon bit his lower lip with strength. He would never forgive himself if Natalieâs skin ended up scarred because of his protection.
The doctor answered honestly, âThere are two areas with second-degree burns. Traces will remain, more or less.â
After a long silence, Brandon looked at Natalie and murmured hoarsely, âThank you for saving me.â It was the first time Brandon had thanked Natalie so sincerely, but she didnât like it. He treated her with too much distance.
For a moment, Natalie didnât know what to say. They were husband and wife. There was no need for him to be so formal with her. She forced a smile, but there was a trace of sadness in her eyes. âNo problem, when our apartment was on fire, I also protected you. You still have a burn scar on your back. Now we are even.â
Hearing this, Brandonâs expression widened, then immediately darkened. He wanted to say something, but he stopped, thinking twice.
âWhat apartment? What fire? When did that happen? I donât remember anything about it.â
When Natalie saw the confusion in Brandonâs eyes, the smile on her face hardened.
Soon, the doctor finished dressing Natalieâs wounds. After he left, she took a deep breath and finally asked, âHow strange. Why did you have such a weird expression a year ago?â
Brandon, if you think youâre not getting anything out of this marriage, just say so. I will not stop you. You donât have to do this to me.â Natalie spoke in a seemingly casual tone, but the idea of breaking up with Brandon made her heart sink.
Brandon looked away hesitantly. After a while, he finally spoke, though with difficulty.
The Double Life of My Billionaire Husband âSomething happened to me...â
âYeah, Iâm not stupid. Can you say it has changed? In fact, itâs as if you were a completely different person. Are you still not going to tell me what happened?â Natalie rested her head on the pillow and looked at him.
He stared back and said in a tired voice, âNatalie, Iâm not a mind reader. The longer I hide the truth, the crazier I become. Itâs just a matter of time before I collapse.â
Brandonâs expression softened. Natalie had risked her life to save him. Wasnât she worthy of his confidence? Sitting by the bed, Brandon looked into Natalieâs eyes as if searching for answers.
Finally, he said quietly, âYou are not stupid. Itâs just... whatever happened to me sounds crazy. Even I canât believe it myself. When you were lost at sea, I regretted it. I passed out on one of the search and rescue boats. It turned out that I had a high fever and was incredibly ill. noveloz.com When I woke up again, I couldnât understand my surroundings. Charis told me what had happened. Then I realized that I had lost my memory of the last two years.â
Natalieâs eyes widened. She had lots of guesswork as to why Brandon had suddenly become cold with her, but she never considered that he might have lost his memory. It was like a scene out of a movie!
âDid the doctor say something? Can you still retrieve your memory?â Natalie asked anxiously, wringing her hands.
His hair stood on end when all the seemingly unrelated puzzle pieces began to gather. First, he had an automobile accident and plummeted into the ocean. Then, Brandon suddenly became ill and fainted during search and rescue operations. When he woke up, he had mysteriously lost his memory of the last two years.
And when Natalie was trapped on the island, someone had sent assassins to kill her. When she came back alive, she had no time to think about everything that had happened due to the sudden change in Brandon. Only now did she realize that something was terribly wrong. Who sent those assassins after her?
Although everything seemed unrelated at first, when Natalie thought about everything that had happened carefully, a shiver ran down her spine. But she didnât immediately voice her thoughts. Instead, she calmed down and waited for Brandon to explain.
