Brandon's eyes immediately lit up with hope. "Thank you, Frank."
It seemed that wherever Frank was, there was a strong wind howling. "What'd you say? 'Thank you'? No need. This strange disease of yours has aroused my desire to learn more about it. You know that I like to study anomalies like these. Maybe this will be the greatest challenge of my career. Brandon, even if it wasn't you, I would've kept studying it."
After the call ended, Janet sighed. "Based on what Frank said, although he has guessed the cause of your condition, we still need to find an antidote. We're still practically in the dark."
Now that Charis was dead, where would they even start looking for the drug?
She was more anxious and dejected than Brandon.
Brandon, on the other hand, was a lot more optimistic. He patted her on the back comfortingly and said, "Don't worry. Since we now know that some mysterious drug caused my memory loss, it'll only be a matter of finding it. I'll have my men investigate it as well. We'll figure it out soon enough."
Janet nodded, although she didn't look convinced. Charis was a scheming woman. Since she had come up with a way to erase Brandon's memories, she must've erased any trace to where she got the drug.
Suddenly, a thought occurred to her.
Although Charis was out of the picture, everything she had used before her death was still there. She might've left some clues in her personal belongings!
Grabbing Brandon by the shoulders, she exclaimed excitedly, "I have an idea!"
Brandon couldn't help but smile, thinking that she looked funny and cute.
"What is it?" he asked curiously.
