The Mysterious Billionaire and His Substitute Bride

Chapter 640

When Brandon peeled his eyes open, he saw a plain, white ceiling. Then he saw that he was hooked onto an IV. The clear liquid in the infusion bottle slowly but steadily made its way into his body.

He wanted to sit up, but found that he didn’t have the strength. What’s more, he felt particularly dizzy and tired, as if something was taken away from his body. Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.

Lying weakly in the bed, Brandon tried to recall what had happened and why he was in the hospital.

But try as he might, he only felt a splitting headache. The pain was so extreme that it hurt to even think.

“Is anyone there?” Brandon shouted at the door warily.

No one answered him.

He reached for the phone on the bedside table to call someone so as to find out what had happened to him, only to realize that the device in his hand was completely alien to him.

How strange!

What surprised Brandon even more was the date on the phone.

How ridiculous! How could he have been asleep for two years?

His first reaction was that the date on his phone was wrong. Maybe Garrett was just trying to prank him.

He put the phone down and yanked the infusion needle out of his arm, intending to go find someone to talk to. However, when he looked up at the electronic clock on the wall unintentionally, he was stunned by what he saw.

The date displayed on the electronic clock was indeed two years later.

Brandon felt helpless. Who was behind this stupid prank? Did they think he would be deceived so easily?

The TV in the ward was still on. Brandon glanced at it and found that the date was also two years later!

His expression darkened. What the hell was going on? Had he lost his memory? How could his mind be in the wrong time?

Just then, a woman’s voice came from the door.

Charis then came in with a tray of food.

“You’re awake! The doctor said that you might wake up at noon. It seems that I made the right decision, bringing you some breakfast,” Charis joked casually.

“Cut to the chase. What the hell happened? Is the clock showing the right time?” Brandon demanded anxiously.

Charis giggled lightheartedly. “What on earth do you mean? Did you lose your memory just because of a high fever?”

When she saw the serious look on Brandon’s face, she feigned a stunned expression for a few seconds and suddenly frowned. She rushed to his side and asked, “Brandon? Are you serious? Did you really lose your memory?”

Brandon’s face turned cold. “What happened? How could a fever erase my memories?”

Charis sat on the edge of the bed and looked at him seriously. “Hold on. I’ll ask a doctor to come and check on you. Garrett has been in Barnes lately. You had a fever and just passed out, and I was so worried about you.”

“Why is Garrett in Barnes? For a woman?” Brandon spat angrily.

Charis smiled and sighed. “You’re suddenly as strict as you were two years ago. Garrett moved to Barnes for work. The Larson Group has developed rapidly in the past two years and we have even opened up overseas markets. These days, you’ve been focusing on the development in Barnes.”

“What else happened?” Brandon soon recovered from the initial shock and quickly accepted the fact that he had lost two years of his memory. Now, his priority was to understand what was going on in the present.

Charis explained everything that had happened in the past two years to Brandon in brief words. She even admitted that he had been married.

“Married? Interesting.” Brandon’s tone took on a hint of mockery. “Was it a marriage arranged by my family?”

“Well, something like that.” Charis smiled and added, “But your wife got into an accident. Her car fell into the sea and she disappeared. You passed out during the search and rescue. I was the one who took you to the hospital. That was when we found out you had a high fever. Maybe… Maybe your memory was affected by the high fever.”

With a worried look on her face, Charis continued, “I’ve never seen anyone lose their memories from a high fever. It’s kind of like a plot in a movie.”

Brandon glanced at her indifferently. “No wonder you suddenly seem more capable. I thought you and Garrett were pranking me.”

Charis stuck her tongue out at Brandon and grumbled, “Who would do such a thing? We’re not kids anymore!” The smile on her face became brighter.

She looked at Brandon’s side profile and felt elated. It was so good to see that her Brandon was finally back.
