Chapter 1351 Lingering Effects From The DrugsWhen Elizabeth received Janet’s phone call, she was buried in overtwork.
Elizabeth sighed wearily when asked about Frank.
"I’ve been swamped recently, working round the clock.I haven’t seen Frank often, let alone had much contact with him." Hearing
this, Janet’s brow furrowed, her mind plunging into deep thought. Was she overthinking things? Could it be that the situation
wasn’t as dire as she suspected? Recognizing Janet’s silence, Elizabeth quickly added, fearing that Jmight be worried,
"Don’t stress.Mr.Wesley informedthat W Marks stuwon’t serve any customers who’ve canceled orders with you.I’ve been
putting in extra hours because W Marks stuis currently short-staffed as sdesigners have resigned." Jlaughed softly.
"What are you imagining? I couldn’t care less if my former clients go to W Marks.I called you simply to ask if Frank has been
particularly busy recently." Realizing something was amiss, Elizabeth was unsure why Jwas probing into Frank’s affairs.
Nevertheless, she answered honestly, "Frank does appear to be rather busy of late.I sent him a message last night, but he was
Janet’s heart fluttered. It was precisely at ten o’clock last night when Brandon returned home.
Was this merely a coincidence? Elizabeth, feeling uneasy due to the silence at the other end, asked, "What’s the matter, Janet?
Is there something wrong with Franke"
Regaining her composure, Jforced a smile and replied, "There’s nothing wrong with Frank.I was just asking out of curiosity.I
won’t keep you any longer.I’ll hang up now."
After ending the call, Jsat motionless on the sofa, her mind a whirlwind of thoughts. She was now fairly certain that
Brandon’s recent coldness was related to their previous medical examination. Was there something wrong with his health? A
thought flashed through her mind—Brandon had once been drugged by Charis and suffered temporary memory loss.
There was no guarantee that such potent medication hadn’t left behind any side effects. Could it be that he was grappling with
slingering effects from the drugs, and chose not to disclose it to her?At this thought, Jwas caught in a mix of distress
and irritation. She felt sympathy for Brandon, who seemed to be bearing this burden alone, and resentment at him for keeping
such a significant matter hidden from her. Jremained on the sofa, entangled in her thoughts, oblivious to Brandon’s
emergence from the bathroom after his shower., "What’s up honey, ? "
Brandon queried, sitting next to Jas he towel-dried his hair, "What’s on your mind.
"Lifting her gaze to meet him, Jstared at Brandon without blinking, not uttering a word.Despite feeling nervous, Brandon
maintained an air of puzzlement.
"Why are you starring atlike that? Did something happen?"
With a huff, Jrose to her feet & begin to towel-dried his hairs.
Despite her own demeanor, Brandon couldn’t shake off a sense of unease.
He attempt to grab the towel & dry his hair himself several times, But each attempt was swiftly twarted by Janet.
Finally, the disquieting silence becunbearable for Brandon.
Rising to his feet, he took hold of Janet’s wrist & pleaded, "Honey, What’s the matter? Have I done something wrong? Just tell
me, and I will rectify it, ok "? Looking into his eyes Jscoff, "
Do you really have no clue what you have done.?"
A rush of guilt surged through Brandon, turning his anxiety up a notch upon hearing Janet’s accusatory tune.
Had Jfigured something out?.
Even though he was internally panicking, Brandon managed to maintain an outward facade of calm.."I have no idea what you
are referring to ," he responded.
