Chapter 624
After some consideration, Natalie decided to phone Frank and inquire about what happened.
“Are you aware, Frank, that Brandon’s memory is progressively regaining ground?” Frank, Natalie reasoned, must have been aware of it. Frank and Brandon must have been keeping something from her, and it had to be about it.
Frank just arrived home and was exhausted. He certainly didn’t expect Natalie to call him at this time. “I know about it,” Frank replied, answering Natalie’s question. “Don’t worry; that’s a good thing.”
“Brandon’s mood has been fluctuating a lot today. I’m afraid that he might have other problems, so I called you for help,” Natalie whispered as she massaged her forehead. Although her tone was soft and gentle, it was obvious that she was concerned for Brandon’s health.
Frank went silent for a moment before he said, “I can’t say anything for sure, but the process of regaining memories is always accompanied by regaining the emotions that had been forgotten. Even though the memories can be recovered in a matter of minutes, it’d be difficult for a patient to emotionally accept the changes. You can ask Brandon to meet his former friends so he can slowly get used to it.”
“His former friends?” Natalie murmured to herself.
Frank chuckled. “Have you forgotten the playboy who’s going to be a father soon? I think he’s been having a hard time with the Harding family recently. Why don’t you invite him over to see Brandon? That may also cheer him up a little bit.”
After Natalie talked to Frank, she sent a message to Laney immediately.
However, the Harding Group had been quite busy recently, so she and Garrett weren’t free that day. They could only visit Brandon in the hospital the day after that.
As soon as Brandon started eating the breakfast that Natalie brought the next morning, he saw her take a call and then run out in a hurry.
“Where are you going? Are you coming back later?” Brandon asked Natalie while he was eating.
He didn’t see her for hours when she took the trash out yesterday.
That made him suspicious of her actions.
Natalie was a little taken aback by what he said, but she still turned to look at him and replied, “I’m going to pick up some friends. I’ll come back soon.”
When she came back, Garrett and Laney were following behind her.
Garrett didn’t bring any gifts with him. He just carefully assisted Laney as he looked at her and said, “Hold on for a moment. I’ll bring you a chair right away.”
He soon dragged the char to where Laney was, put a cushion on it, and helped her sit down.
“My belly is so big now. It’s so hard for me to move about,” Laney told Natalie.
Natalie touched Laney’s round belly. Her tone was laced with admiration as she asked, “When is the baby due?”
“At the end of this month.” Laney sighed. “I can finally give birth. This little one has been torturing me for months. I haven’t had a good night sleep for the past few months.”
Feeling the baby move, Natalie smiled. “Tasha is also due at the end of this month. Hey! It’s kicking! It seems like your baby is as active as you are.” o
Suddenly, a cold voice interrupted them, saying, “Could you two at least show some respect? I’m the patient here.”
It was Brandon. A look of displeasure flashed across his eyes as he stared at them.
“Why don’t we go to the coffee shop downstairs? These boys can take care of themselves,” Natalie said as she winked at Laney.
Laney instantly understood what Natalie was implying, so she nodded and smiled. “Sure thing! That’s exactly what I need. I saw the board on the way up and I want to try that new cakes in the coffee shop downstairs.”
Brandon coughed. He didn’t want Natalie to leave. However, just when he was about to say something, Garrett stood in front of him, giving him a faint smile as he said, “I’ll take care of you.”
“You know how to take care of people?” Brandon glared at him.
“I’m going to be a father, you know? I’m sure I’m much more skilled at taking care of people than you,” Garrett explained. “By the way, why are you hospitalized again?” “It’s a long story.” Brandon rested his head on his arm. “You’d better tell me, then,” Garrett said as he adjusted his glasses. “Next time we meet, my baby will be born already.”
“Why are you showing off?” Brandon sneered. “I heard you’ve been having a hard time recently. If you can’t stay in the Harding Group, you can go back to the Larson Group at any time.
Knowing your abilities, you can practically start from scratch and become the general manager in less than three years.”
Garrett went silent for a moment before he took a deep breath and heaved a sigh. “You know what? I won’t argue with you since you’re a patient now.”
He then took out a piece of paper from the lining of his suit and said, “Take this.”
“What’s the mean of this?” Brandon asked with a blank look.
Garrett cleared his throat and sheepishly scratched his head. “So here’s the thing. The Harding Group finished recruitment just a few days ago. The candidates weren’t exactly suitable for the Harding Group, but I think they will fit in the Larson Group nicely. I suggested for them to apply for an interview with your company, and those youngsters were also keen on the idea. I wanted to recommend them directly to you. Of course, I’ll gladly vouch for their eligibility.”
Brandon glanced at the list of names, his eyes narrowing. These people were quite famous, being the most popular newcomers in the industry.
A faint smile touched his lips. “I’ll take this list for review,” he said somewhat cautiously. “I’ll consider your recommendation.”
Garrett always had a good eye for people. As such, he rarely recognized someone to be truly gifted, no matter how famous they were. Once he did, it only meant that person was truly remarkable.
“Ah, you’re willing to give it a shot?” Garrett looked relieved. In truth, he had been afraid that Brandon would take his gesture in a bad light and reject the offer. Brandon only nodded casually.
