Chapter 293 You Care

About Me

Freya stared at Gerard, utterly dumbfounded.

Why was everyone-first Isaac, now Gerard-reacting like this the moment she mentioned Kristian's condition?

Her confusion only deepened. Glancing at Kristian, who had been quietly well- behaved the entire time, she turned back to Gerard and asked, "Why are you even asking that?"

"It just feels a little... unreal," Gerard admitted, scratching his head.

"He really has lost his memory," I'reya said firmly, her tone leaving no room for doubt. "After I brought him home last night, I watched him closely. Trust me, there's no way he's faking it."

If Kristian was pretending, then someone should hand him an Oscar already.

Sure, you could fake your expressions, your tone-but the tiny, instinctive reactions? Those were nearly impossible to counterfeit. After talking with Isaac, Freya had run her own tests, and she was convinced-this

wasn't an act.

Gerard shot a quick glance at Kristian, curiosity practically oozing from his eyes.

Kristian frowned ever so slightly, shifting uncomfortably under the scrutiny. Why was that man staring at him like that? Didn't anyone teach him it was rude to stare?

"Kristian," Freya said.

His attention snapped to her immediately. "What is it, my dear sister? What can I do for you?"

Gerard blinked. Sister?

"Let me introduce you," Freya said, trying to help Kristian familiarize himself with some people from his past. "This is your assistant, Gerard Todd. You two were really close-you trusted him a lot."

"Assistant?" Kristian tilted his head, looking adorably lost. He had no idea what that was supposed to mean.

Freya paused, then simplified. “He used to help manage your schedule and do tasks you assigned him. But you don't need to think about all that now. Just remember-you guys were good friends."

"I'll keep that in mind." Kristian nodded obediently, soaking in her every word.

Gerard's last bit of hope crumbled. He stared in disbelief. Was this really his cold, decisive, untouchable boss? How did he turn into such a soft, clingy "kid"?

"Do you want to visit the office with him?" Freya suggested gently.

Kristian's fingers tightened in his lap, his thoughts spiraling. Was Freya planning

to hand him off to someone

else?
