She Took The House The Car And My Heart

Chapter 928:

“Reveal the contents of that box he entrusted to you.” Lawrence couldn’t suppress his genuine intrigue about Kristian’s parting gift for Freya.

Gerard maintained his characteristic pleasant expression. “This belongs exclusively to Ms. Briggs. I cannot relinquish it to anyone else.”

“I need comprehensive insight into his condition. What if that container holds vital information that influences his recovery process?” Lawrence attempted to justify his curiosity with professional concern. “Didn’t you just assure me the medical…”

“Equipment would successfully restore his memories?” Gerard wasn’t easily deceived and recognized Lawrence’s simple desire to examine Kristian’s keepsake. “If that’s the case, your understanding of this item bears no relevance to the procedure.”

“Do you truly wish to jeopardize your employer’s wellbeing?” Lawrence deliberately altered his tone to one of implied threat.

Gerard offered no verbal response, merely regarding him with unwavering politeness and the faintest hint of a smile.

Their gazes locked in silent confrontation for several tense moments.noveldrama

Lawrence eventually abandoned his pursuit. Even accessing a simple object from Kristian’s assistant proved remarkably challenging. He secretly sighed to himself.

“Are you aware of recent developments between him and Freya over the past two days?” Lawrence attempted a more indirect approach. “This information could prove essential to his rehabilitation. Should complications arise later, we might leverage these details to mitigate adverse effects.”

“Why not consult Ms. Briggs directly?” Gerard recognized the transparent attempt to extract information. “She would possess the most accurate knowledge.”

Lawrence found himself at a loss for words. Acknowledging the futility of extracting anything meaningful from Gerard, he retreated to his office.

To ensure Kristian’s condition progressed optimally toward complete recovery, he positioned himself before the computer terminal, vigilantly monitoring every fluctuation in the instrument readings and documenting them with meticulous precision.

Meanwhile, Gerard waited patiently in the designated reception area. Contemplating the box Kristian had entrusted to him, Gerard experienced a complex tapestry of emotions.

He lacked complete clarity regarding Kristian’s precise circumstances; Freya had withheld details, and he’d refrained from interrogating Lawrence.

Nevertheless, the recent exchange between Kristian and Lawrence left him profoundly perplexed. If this procedure simply restored memories, why had Lawrence repeatedly insisted that Kristian bid farewell to Freya?

After mulling it over for what felt like an eternity and still coming up empty, Gerard finally gave up trying to make sense of everything. With deliberate care, he tucked the box away and settled into a quiet wait.

By the time the clock struck noon, Kristian remained motionless, showing no signs of stirring.

Over lunch, Gerard cast a glance toward Lawrence—who wore his usual calm and composed expression—and asked, “Dr. Hayes, any idea how much longer until my boss wakes up?”

“Hard to say,” Lawrence responded evenly. “From the looks of it, he’s not likely to come around today. If you’ve got other business to handle, don’t feel like you have to stay. I’ll reach out the moment he wakes.”

“Alright,” Gerard said with a nod.
