Chapter 383


    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 couldn’t 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 couldn’t remember how many times Natalie had been hospitalized in thest six


    months. She felt sorry and worried for her daughter.


    Naturally, she no longer nned to be nice to Brandon. The doctor carefully treated Natalie’s back


    while Brandon stood in the corner of the room, his eyes fixed on the numerous blisters on her smooth


    skin.

    Finally, he couldn’t help but ask, “Will she be scarred?” Brandon bit his lower lip with strength. He


    would never forgive himself if Natalie’s skin ended up scarred because of his protection.


    The doctor answered honestly, “There are two areas with second-degree burns. Traces will remain,


    more or less.”


    After a long silence, Brandon looked at Natalie and murmured hoarsely, “Thank you for saving me.” It


    was the first time Brandon had thanked Natalie so sincerely, but she didn’t like it. He treated her with


    too much distance.


    For a moment, Natalie didn’t 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. “No


    problem, when our apartment was on fire, I also protected you. You still have a burn scar on your back.


    Now we are even.”


    Hearing this, Brandon’s expression widened, then immediately darkened. He wanted to say something,


    but he stopped, thinking twice.


    “What apartment? What fire? When did that happen? I don’t remember anything about it.”


    When Natalie saw the confusion in Brandon’s eyes, the smile on her face hardened.


    Soon, the doctor finished dressing Natalie’s wounds. After he left, she took a deep breath and finally


    asked, “How strange. Why did you have such a weird expression a year ago?”


    Brandon, if you think you’re not getting anything out of this marriage, just say so. I will not stop you.


    You don’t have to do this to me.” 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.


    “Something happened to me…”


    “Yeah, I’m not stupid. Can you say it has changed? In fact, it’s as if you were apletely different


    person. Are you still not going to tell me what happened?” Natalie rested her head on the pillow and


    looked at him.


    He stared back and said in a tired voice, “Natalie, I’m not a mind reader. The longer I hide the truth, the


    crazier I be. It’s just a matter of time before I copse.”


    Brandon’s expression softened. Natalie had risked her life to save him. Wasn’t she worthy of his


    confidence? Sitting by the bed, Brandon looked into Natalie’s eyes as if searching for answers.


    Finally, he said quietly, “You are not stupid. It’s just… whatever happened to me sounds crazy. Even I


    can’t 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 When I woke up


    again, I couldn’t understand my surroundings. Charis told me what had happened. Then I realized that I


    had lost my memory of thest two years.”


    Natalie’s eyes widened. She had lots of guesswork as to why Brandon had suddenly be cold with


    her, but she never considered that he might have lost his memory. It was like a scene out of a movie!


    “Did the doctor say something? Can you still retrieve your memory?” Natalie asked anxiously, wringing


    her hands.


    His hair stood on end when all the seemingly unrted puzzle pieces began to gather. First, he had an


    automobile ident 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 ind, 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 unrted at first, when Natalie thought about everything that had


    happened carefully, a shiver ran down her spine. But she didn’t immediately voice her thoughts.


    Instead, she calmed down and waited for Brandon to exin.
