Chapter 661

Johanna was apprehensive about her daughter and sighed, her stern expression softening.

“Natalie will be devastated if she finds out.The reason we summoned you here today is to seek to hear

your explanation.”

“l’ll ask Frank to send me my latest physical examination report.After you read it, you’ll feel better.”

Brandon typed the message and sent it to Frank.He hadn’t planned to hide the truth from Natalie’s

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, Johanna’s expression softened.It explained some things, but she had one last

question.

“Who is this doctor? The previous report suggested that your illness might lead to serious

complications.The worst-case scenarios being Alzheimer’s or even a brain tumor.That wasn’t long

ago.Are you sure you have fully recovered?”

Johanna grew worried again.

After reading the report, Beal returned the phone to Brandon.

He thought for a while and said, “Good health is our most important resource.I can ask an expert

physician for a second opinion.He’ll also give you a general examination.”

“Don’t bother, Beal.My doctor is Frank Watson.”

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 Brandon’s

doctor, Beal relaxed.He said to Johanna, “Frank Watson is famous both at home and abroad.He is a

first-rate doctor.The report he wrote is credible.”

Brandon sat back down and explained his condition and the cause.

“It’s strange.Even Frank could not explain this with science.He said it was a miracle that I regained my

memory like this.”

“Tye heard of Frank Watson from several of my doctor friends.He is a rising star in the medical

field.He’s in such demand that we couldn’t get an appointment.If he says you have recovered, I believe

him.”

Johanna calmed down.

She added, “Well, I’m glad that’s in the past.But how will you explain it to Natalie? You’ve kept a huge

secret from her.When she finds out, she will be angry.”

“I 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 doesn’t have to worry for something that was already

over,” Brandon said in a domineering tone.

He looked imposing, even to Johanna and Beal.

“I get what you mean, but I’m just not sure you can hide it from her forever.”

Johanna understood that Brandon didn’t want Natalie to worry, but when she thought of the trouble

Vivian had caused them, she felt dissatisfied.

“Why did you let Vivian work in the Larson Group? You were inviting danger.”

“Vivian and Charis were close, and I wanted to find the antidote from her.I also wanted to investigate if

there was anyone else behind Vivian’s actions.” It was strange though.

Brandon hadn’t expected his amnesia could heal without treatment.

And after Vivian was caught and locked up, everything seemed to die down.

“Now it’s over, telling Natalie the truth will only cause her unnecessary worry,” 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.

“Beal, stay with me.”

It was obvious that Beal had forgiven Brandon, but Johanna had misgivings.

“Brandon, I still think you should tell Natalie the truth.I don’t want to upset Natalie either, but my

daughter is not bean that fragile.I believe she’ll take it well.Besides, she has the right to know the truth

about her husband’s condition.If you refuse to explain it to her, I will.”

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 Johanna’s opinion, Brandon shouldn’t hide the truth from Natalie.

Brandon didn’t reply.

“Think it over.I’ll expect your answer after dinner.”

Johanna stood up and massaged her temples.

Brandon’s stubbornness had given her a headache.Beal held her.He said nervously, “You haven’t slept

well for days.Go upstairs and have a rest before dinner.”

“I’m fine.If I go upstairs, Natalie will want to know why.Just get me some water.”

Johanna reclined on the sofa, feeling weak.She sighed and glared at Brandon coldly.

Then she turned to Beal and said, “You can’t forgive Brandon.No one has the right to do that except

Natalie.”

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 “Natalie!”

“Honey!”

Beal and Johanna exclaimed.

Brandon’s eyes narrowed.He hadn’t expected Natalie to appear so soon after entering the kitchen.

“Natalie, let me explain.” 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.

“Don’t try to defend yourself.I heard the conversation clearly.”

Natalie had been cooking in the kitchen.

She realized she needed butter but couldn’t 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 Vivian’s flash drive.

They didn’t 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, “Why stop me? You don’t trust me at all.In your heart, [‘m already

expendable.”

Standing between her and the door, Brandon gazed helplessly at his wife.

He reached for her hand and said, “Listen.It’s not that I don’t trust you.”

Natalie pushed him away.Her smile was devoid of emotion.

“Brandon, you didn’t tell me ‘about your condition, but you claim you want to start a family with me.Is

that a lie as well?”

Brandon interrupted her anxiously.

“It’s all true.My memory has recovered.There are no aftereffects.” Text content © NôvelDrama.Org.

“Leave me alone.I can’t trust a word you say.You lied to me.How can I know you’re not lying now?”

Natalie’s eyes were dull.She couldn’t 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.

“I promise, I am fully recovered now.”

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, “Honey, why don’t you listen to his explanation?”

Even her mother took Brandon’s side.

Natalie couldn’t hold back her anger.She rubbed her cheeks and yelled, “Why 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.”

Johanna sighed.Her heart burst with regret.

“I didn’t know how to tell you.I’m sorry.But now we know Brandon is fine, you deserve the truth.”

She glared at Brandon, feeling nothing but disgust, and said, “It’s all Brandon’s fault! Everything.”

Brandon didn’t know what to do.

Natalie’s fury didn’t fade when Johanna tried to lay all the blame at Brandon’s feet.

She sniffed and said, “You’re 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.”

Hearing her daughter’s accusation, Johanna felt desperate.She gestured for Beal to say something.

“Dad, if you take their side, I will not talk to you anymore.”

Wiping her tears, Natalie glared at Beal.

Natalie’s threat obviously worked.

Beal glanced at Johanna and lowered his head, unable to say anything.
