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 doctor's office first.
"Don't be in such a rush. Go to the ward and then I'll call a doctor for you," Charis said, clearly flustered.
"No, thanks. I can do it myself." Brandon walked straight to the doctor's office with a cold expression.
Charis had a bad feeling about this and hurried to follow him.

In the doctor's 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, it's not that I'm not allowing you to leave the hospital. It's just that you've lost your memory from that high fever, which is very strange. I think it's for the better that you stay here for a few more days, so that we can keep you under observation."
Putting her hand on Brandon's shoulder, Charis added worriedly, "The doctor's right, Brandon. Just stay in the hospital for a few more days. I can take anything work-related documents to the hospital for you. It's not far from the office anyway. Besides, you can always go back to the office during the day if you'd 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 don't 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 don't want you to go back because I'm worried about your health. I'm also concerned about your image. You can't 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, Brandon's cold expression relaxed somewhat. "You're right. What more can I say?"
Then he stood up and left the doctor's office.
Charis ran after him anxiously. Brandon was acting too willful. He didn't listen to her at all, which made her feel a little helpless and anxious.
But on second thought, wasn't this exactly how he had acted two years ago? He devoted himself to his work and career without any human-like 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 Brandon's accident recently.
He tried to call Brandon, but he couldn't get through, which was confusing.
