Natalie finally asked what she had beenmeaning to ask. âMom, whereâs Brandon? Why canât I get in touch with him?
âWell...â Johanna and Beal exchanged glances.
Finally, Johanna spoke up, albeit hesitantly.
âYou see, Brandon fainted during the search and rescue, and now he is in the hospital.â Natalieâs eyes widened and she clutched Johannaâs hand worriedly.
âHow is he now? Brandonâs always been healthy.
How could he suddenly pass out?â The more she thought about it, the more anxious Natalie became.
She lifted the blanket and was about to get out of bed.
âWe have to go back to Seacisco now.â Beal hurried up to stop his daughter.
He shook his head firmly and said, âYouâd better stay in the hospital for a few more days just to be safe.
Anyway, I had already asked my assistant to check on Brandon.
Heâs fine.â But Natalie couldnât calm down.
âDad, why didnât you visit him yourself? Is he seriously ill?â âCalm down, Natalie.
We were so busy looking for you that we didnât spare time to visit him in the hospital.
But I heard that Brandon is fine now.â Johanna comforted Natalie in a gentle voice.
Natalie lowered her head, feeling guilty.
This was all happening because of her.
âBefore I called you, I tried calling him first.
But I couldnât get through to his number.
What do you think is going on?â At first, Natalie didnât think too much of it.
But now, the sense of uneasiness in her heart was getting stronger and stronger.
Johanna scratched her head and averted her gaze, feeling a little embarrassed.
âThe assistant said he was fine.
So that means he shouldâve woken up by now.â Truth be told, she didnât know what was going on with Brandon either.
When she heard what Natalie said, she also instinctively felt that something was wrong with Brandon.
Ever since Brandon was hospitalized, he seemed to stop caring about Natalieâs disappearance.
He even withdrew his search and rescue ships, which had pissed Johanna off to no end.
Beal knew what was on his wifeâs mind, but Natalieâs wellâbeing was their top priority now, so he also tried to comfort their daughter.
âYour motherâs right.
Maybe Brandon just missed the call.
Heâll call you back as soon as he sees it.â 2 But Natalie couldnât rest easy.
âI have to go see Brandon.
If heâs fine, Iâll come back and stay in the hospital.â Johanna held her hand tightly.
âYouâre still so weak.
Stay in the hospital and recuperate! Iâll ask Brandon to come here instead.â Seeing that Johanna sounded a little angry, Natalie hesitated and then reluctantly lay back down on the bed.
âMom, wake me up if Brandon comes, okay?â Seeing the anxious look in her daughterâs eyes, Johanna sighed.
âOf course, honey.
Get some sleep first.â Then Johanna pulled Beal out of the ward.
âHoney, you have to find a way to get in touch with Brandon.
I think somethingâs wrong.â Johanna looked gloomy.
She felt that something was off, but she couldnât tell exactly what that was.
âAlright.
Donât worry too much.
Brandonâs fine.
Iâll call someone to find out how to get in touch with him.â Beal rubbed Johannaâs back comfortingly and then went out to make some calls.
After a while, he got his hands on the phone number that Brandon was using now.
Without hesitation, Johanna called Brandon.
âHello, whoâs this?â The manâs voice sounded a little cold.
âBrandon, this is Mrs. White.
Weâve found Natalie.
Would you like to come and see her?â Johanna went straight to the point and asked Brandon to come over.
She thought that Brandon would be as ecstatic as they were to find out that Natalie was alive and well.
Unexpectedly, Brandonâs tone was indifferent.
âItâs good that youâve found her.
Thereâs something I have to deal with in the company.
Iâm not available to see her for the time being.â
Johanna pursed her lips in utter dissatisfaction.
âWhatâs the matter with you.
Brandon? Your wife is back! Arenât you happy to hear that?â Brandon paused for a few seconds and then said calmly, âOf course Iâm happy.â Johanna couldnât feel any semblance of joy in his tone.
He was totally indifferent! His tone made J ohanna fly into a fit of rage.
However, Beal tugged on Johannaâs wrist and said in a low voice, âSomethingâs not right.
Brandon isnât like this usually.
Could something have happened to him?â J ohanna suppressed her anger and tried to calm down to think straight.
Brandonâs reaction was indeed suspicious.
He didnât seem to give a damn about his own wife now.
Johannaâs eyes flashed in confusion.
She whispered to Beal, âI donât know whatâs wrong with him, but perhaps his illness had an effect on his personality?â 1 âHello? If thereâs anything else you want to say, please say it now.â After waiting for a while, Brandon grew a little impatientâand it showed.
He had no feelings for his wife, nor did he have any respect for the Whites.
He had only talked to them in the first place out of politeness.
How did he get along with them before? What response were his inâlaws expecting from him? 1 After mulling over it for a while, he asked, âWhere is she now?â Johanna coughed and said gruffly, âNatalie is in the hospital of a fishing village near Seacisco.
If you want to come over now, I can send you the location.â âOkay.
Send me the location.
Iâll visit her when I have time.
I have a meeting to attend.
Iâd better go now.â 1 Then, without even waiting for a response from Johanna, he hung up the phone abruptly.
Johanna and Beal looked at each other in shock.
Johanna was furious.
âWhat the hell is wrong with Brandon? He didnât even say whether heâs coming or not!â .

ï¤Chapter 1329 Meet My Brothers by Red Thirteen ï¤Chapter 1187 How on earth was she supposed to explain this to Natalie? ! âBeal pondered over their conversation just now.
âThe Brandon we know wouldâve dropped everything and rushed here as soon as he heard the news that Natalie was found.
But just now, he said that heâd only come if he had time.â á Beal had heard Brandonâs words clearly.
