Chapter 661 Johanna was apprehensive about her daughter and sighed, her stern expression softening.
âNatalie will be devastated if she finds out.The reason we summoned you here today is to seek to hear your explanation.â
âlâll ask Frank to send me my latest physical examination report.After you read it, youâll feel better.â
Brandon typed the message and sent it to Frank.He hadnât planned to hide the truth from Natalieâs parents, but so many things had happened that he never got the chance to speak to them.
Now, Brandon had recovered; he would explain everything to Johanna and Beal.
Reading the report, Johannaâs expression softened.It explained some things, but she had one last question.
âWho is this doctor? The previous report suggested that your illness might lead to serious complications.The worst-case scenarios being Alzheimerâs or even a brain tumor.That wasnât long ago.Are you sure you have fully recovered?â
Johanna grew worried again.
After reading the report, Beal returned the phone to Brandon.
He thought for a while and said, âGood health is our most important resource.I can ask an expert physician for a second opinion.Heâll also give you a general examination.â
âDonât bother, Beal.My doctor is Frank Watson.â
Brandon trusted Frank.
If any other doctor said that he had recovered so quickly, he might not have believed him.But Frank was different.He was an expert and, most importantly, his best friend.Hearing the name of Brandonâs doctor, Beal relaxed.He said to Johanna, âFrank Watson is famous both at home and abroad.He is a first-rate doctor.The report he wrote is credible.â
Brandon sat back down and explained his condition and the cause.
âItâs strange.Even Frank could not explain this with science.He said it was a miracle that I regained my memory like this.â
âTye heard of Frank Watson from several of my doctor friends.He is a rising star in the medical field.Heâs in such demand that we couldnât get an appointment.If he says you have recovered, I believe him.â
Johanna calmed down.
She added, âWell, Iâm glad thatâs in the past.But how will you explain it to Natalie? Youâve kept a huge secret from her.When she finds out, she will be angry.â
âI was planning to tell her when my condition improved.But now I have recovered; I want to hide it from her forever and pretend it never happened.She doesnât have to worry for something that was already over,â Brandon said in a domineering tone.
He looked imposing, even to Johanna and Beal.
âI get what you mean, but Iâm just not sure you can hide it from her forever.â
Johanna understood that Brandon didnât want Natalie to worry, but when she thought of the trouble Vivian had caused them, she felt dissatisfied.
âWhy did you let Vivian work in the Larson Group? You were inviting danger.â
âVivian and Charis were close, and I wanted to find the antidote from her.I also wanted to investigate if there was anyone else behind Vivianâs actions.â It was strange though.
Brandon hadnât expected his amnesia could heal without treatment.
And after Vivian was caught and locked up, everything seemed to die down.
âNow itâs over, telling Natalie the truth will only cause her unnecessary worry,â Brandon said, smiling.
Beal understood.
If it had been him, he would want to protect Johanna and perhaps make the same decision.He stood up quietly, wanting to sit next to Brandon.
Johanna stopped him.
âBeal, stay with me.â
It was obvious that Beal had forgiven Brandon, but Johanna had misgivings.
âBrandon, I still think you should tell Natalie the truth.I donât want to upset Natalie either, but my daughter is not bean that fragile.I believe sheâll take it well.Besides, she has the right to know the truth about her husbandâs condition.If you refuse to explain it to her, I will.â
Johanna knew her daughter very well.
Natalie would prefer to hear the brutal truth rather than be lied to by Brandon and her parents.
In Johannaâs opinion, Brandon shouldnât hide the truth from Natalie.
Brandon didnât reply.
âThink it over.Iâll expect your answer after dinner.â
Johanna stood up and massaged her temples.
Brandonâs stubbornness had given her a headache.Beal held her.He said nervously, âYou havenât slept well for days.Go upstairs and have a rest before dinner.â
âIâm fine.If I go upstairs, Natalie will want to know why.Just get me some water.â
Johanna reclined on the sofa, feeling weak.She sighed and glared at Brandon coldly.
Then she turned to Beal and said, âYou canât forgive Brandon.No one has the right to do that except Natalie.â
As she finished speaking, there was a clatter from behind.
They looked toward the kitchen in surprise.Natalie was standing there, her hand froze in midair, and the spoon she had been holding had already fallen by her feet.
Knowing The Truth âNatalie!â
âHoney!â
Beal and Johanna exclaimed.
Brandonâs eyes narrowed.He hadnât expected Natalie to appear so soon after entering the kitchen.
âNatalie, let me explain.â He walked toward Natalie and tried to grab her arm.
However, she took a step back and shrugged off his hand.Her smile was bitter.
âDonât try to defend yourself.I heard the conversation clearly.â
Natalie had been cooking in the kitchen.
She realized she needed butter but couldnât find where it was kept.She had planned to ask her parents and arrived at the living room door where she overheard a fierce quarrel between Brandon and her mother.She was tempted to intervene, but as she listened, she learned his astonishing secret.
Recently, she had received files from Vivianâs flash drive.
They didnât seemed important, just some data about the Larson Group.
She had no idea one critical file was missing.
Moreover, Brandon was the one had deleted the file to hide his condition from her.
Natalie removed her apron and was about to leave.
Brandon tried to stop her.
Eyes full of tears, Natalie said, âWhy stop me? You donât trust me at all.In your heart, [âm already expendable.â
Standing between her and the door, Brandon gazed helplessly at his wife.
He reached for her hand and said, âListen.Itâs not that I donât trust you.â
Natalie pushed him away.Her smile was devoid of emotion.
âBrandon, you didnât tell me âabout your condition, but you claim you want to start a family with me.Is that a lie as well?â
Brandon interrupted her anxiously.
âItâs all true.My memory has recovered.There are no aftereffects.â
âLeave me alone.I canât trust a word you say.You lied to me.How can I know youâre not lying now?â
Natalieâs eyes were dull.She couldnât process what she heard.
There was a lot of information in the conversation between Brandon and her parents.She needed somewhere quiet to calm down and gather her thoughts.
âI promise, I am fully recovered now.â
Brandon still blocked her way.He wanted to explain, but Natalie was too upset to listen.
Natalie needed comfort, but Brandon was determined to hold beanher there until she forgave him.
With a cold look on her face, Natalie pushed past him, tears streaming down her cheeks.
Johanna rushed toward her and said, âHoney, why donât you listen to his explanation?â
Even her mother took Brandonâs side.
Natalie couldnât hold back her anger.She rubbed her cheeks and yelled, âWhy are you siding with him? Mom, you knew about this! You helped him hide it from me.I cannot describe how bitterly disappointed I am with you all.â
Johanna sighed.Her heart burst with regret.
âI didnât know how to tell you.Iâm sorry.But now we know Brandon is fine, you deserve the truth.â
She glared at Brandon, feeling nothing but disgust, and said, âItâs all Brandonâs fault! Everything.â
Brandon didnât know what to do.
Natalieâs fury didnât fade when Johanna tried to lay all the blame at Brandonâs feet.
She sniffed and said, âYouâre no different.All of you still see me as a fragile child.No one has shown me any respect I deserve.I am an adult! Treat me as one.â
Hearing her daughterâs accusation, Johanna felt desperate.She gestured for Beal to say something.
âDad, if you take their side, I will not talk to you anymore.â
Wiping her tears, Natalie glared at Beal.
Natalieâs threat obviously worked.
