Chapter 642: Back To Two Years Ago
The Substitute Wife: My Poor Husband Is A Billionaire
After Brandon finished getting up to speed with matters regarding the Larson Group, Charis took him
back to the hospital.
Before they arrived at the door of his ward, Brandon insisted on going to the doctorâs office first.
"Donât be in such a rush.Go to the ward and then Iâll call a doctor for you," Charis said, clearly flustered
"No, thanks.I can do it myself."
Brandon walked straight to the doctorâs office with a cold expression.
Charis had a bad feeling about this and hurried to follow him.
In the doctorâs office, Brandon went straight to the point and asked his doctor to discharge him from the
hospital.He thought that there was no need for him to stay in the hospital anymore since he was fine.
The old doctor adjusted his glasses before he looked at Charis, who was standing behind Brandon,
and said.
"Mr.Larson, itâs not that Iâm not allowing you to leave the hospital.Itâs just that youâve lost your memory
from that high fever, which is very strange.I think itâs for the better that you stay here for a few more
days, so that we can keep you under observation."
Putting her hand on Brandonâs shoulder, Charis added worriedly, "The doctorâs right, Brandon.Just stay
in the hospital for a few more days.I can take anything workârelated documents to the hospital for
you.Itâs not far from the office anyway.Besides, you can always go back to the office during the day if
youâd like."

Charis had already bribed the doctor.
The longer she could keep Brandon here, the more advantageous it would be for her.
Brandon was a little hesitant.He then pursed his lips and looked at Charis coldly.
"It sounds like you donât want me to go back to the company.Why is that?"
For some inexplicable reason, he felt that something was off about her.
Charis put on a hurt expression and said seriously, "Brandon, I donât want you to go back âbecause Iâm
worried about your health.Iâm also concerned about your image.You canât expose your memory loss to
the public.The more you stay in the office, the bigger the possibility that someone will found out about
it.Have you ever thought about how dangerous it would be if your enemies found out about it? Although
the Larson Group is very prosperous now, its competitors will leap at any opportunity to bring it down."
Staring at her for a while, Brandonâs cold expression relaxed somewhat.
"Youâre right.What more can I say?"
Then he stood up and left the doctorâs office.
Charis ran after him anxiously.
Brandon was acting too willful.He didnât listen to her at all which made her feel a little helpless and
anxious.
But on second thought, wasnât this exactly how he had acted two years ago? He devoted himself to his
work and career without any humanâlike feelings, just like a robot⦠Everything seemed to have
returned to the way they were two years ago, including their relationship Garrett had been in Barnes
and only learned about Brandonâs accident recently.
He tried to call Brandon, but he couldnât get through, which was confusing.
Finally, he learned from one of Brandonâs subordinates that he had suddenly fainted during the search
and rescue operation and had been rushed to the hospital by Charis.
Garrett smiled in relief when he heard the news.He had no idea that Brandon and Charis had fallen out
with each other, nor did he knew the horrible things she had done.
He thought that although the two had some disagreements, their ageâold friendship wouldnât fade away
Charis followed Brandon back to the ward.She handed the file to him and said, "This contains all the
project documents over the past two years.You can study them if you like."
"Thank you."
Brandon took the file and was about to open it when he suddenly raised his head and asked, "Why
hasnât Garrett come back from Barnes yet? I need to talk to him."
Ever since the establishment of the Larson Group, Garrett had been in charge of domestic businesses
whereas Charis headed the oversea businesses.
Naturally, Brandon needed Garrett to reorient him with the companyâs local projects.
After a short pause, Charis put on a smile and said, "If you need him, I can call him now."
Truth be told, Garrett was her biggest concern right now.
If he spent too much time with Brandon, he would definitely find out that Brandon had lost his memory.
Brandon nodded and proceeded to study the documents in his hands.
However, from the corner of his eye, he noticed that Charis was still staring at him.
"Whatâs wrong? Is there anything else?"
Brandon paused and looked up at her irritably.
"Although youâve lost your memory, thereâs still something else I have to tell you.A year ago, there was
a business deal that went down between the Lester family and the Harding family.In a word, Garrett
helped the Lester family.When you found out about it, you were furious and had a huge fight with
him.After that, your relationship was severed somewhat.What Iâm saying is youâd better be careful with
him."
Charis didnât say anything more.She just needed Brandon to be on guard against Garrett.
The Lester family was his worst enemy.
Hearing this, Brandonâs expression darkened.He took what Charis had said seriously.
Both Charis and Garrett were his allies as well as friends when he founded the Larson Group.He had
trusted them.
But two years had passed and people couldâve changed.
All in all, he decided to take what she said with a grain of salt.
Instead of exposing how he really felt about this, he said in a low voice, "Call him.We havenât seen
each other in a long time."
*******
Toting several bags of tonics and healthy food, Garrett arrived at the hospital in high spirits.
As soon as he entered the room, he found Brandon lying in the bed with several documents strewn
about him.
"I heard that you just caught a cold in the rain?" Garrett frowned.
"But youâve been staying in the hospital for so long.Whatâs wrong? Is it not just a cold?"
Brandon put away the document in his hand and said, "Thank you for your concern.Iâm fine.I just have
a low fever, but the doctor said I should stay here for a few more days."
He didnât change his attitude towards Garrett, but because of what Charis had said, he remained
vigilant and didnât tell Garrett that he had lost his memory.
