Chapter 1031 The Dish Is Burnt

The sun’s warm rays dappled the table, making the dishes on the table to look more appealing.

At first, Brandon had no appetite, but when he saw that Janet had earnestly arranged the dishes forhim, he couldn’t help but smile and say, “You don’t have to do all the work yourself. I’ll hire a maid tohelp out at home from now on. You just focus on your own work.”

Brandon picked up a piece of broccoli and popped it into his mouth. The fresh taste of the vegetableexploded on his tongue.

However, Brandon noticed that the dishes tasted different than they usually did.

“Are you trying to take away my last hobby?” Janet asked a big on her face, “What do you think? Is mycooking better than before?”

Upon hearing this, Brandon’s eyes twinkled and he chuckled. “You were always a great cook. Want totry some?”

“I already ate lunch,” Janet replied, standing by the bed and watching Brandon quietly. Seeing that hehad calmed down significantly, she asked cautiously, “Brandon, what was wrong with you just now?”

It was true that Brandon had a short fuse, but he was usually level-headed especially in criticalmoments. His impulsiveness just now, when he wanted to torture Kathie and Ameer without hesitation,was completely out of character.

Brandon was quiet for a moment.

He lowered his head, ate a few bites of food, and drank some water. Then he said, “I was reallyimpulsive right now. I know that it’s unlikely that Kathie did this to you. She doesn’t have the ability. AndAmeer wants to work with us. He wouldn’t dare to go against the Larson Group. But the thought ofthem offending you before makes me so angry.”

Janet chuckled. “Let’s not talk about it now. Just focus on resting in the hospital these days. I’ll takecare of the rest.” She gently patted Brandon’s broad back, as if to comfort him. “You know better thananyone that I’ve grown a lot in the past two years.”

Smiling, Brandon teased, “Yes, you’ve grown a lot. But I’m not so sure about your cooking though. Thisdish is burnt.”

A hint of guilt flashed across Janet’s face. “Really? I was in a rush to get here earlier and…”

“Really?” Brandon put down his fork and wiped his mouth with a tissue. His eyes seemed to see rightthrough her.

“Well, you’ve got me. I bought them from a restaurant,” Janet admitted, blushing. She had been in ahurry to check the video on the repaired dashcam before coming to the hospital, and she hadn’t hadtime to cook, so she had to go to a restaurant to buy some food. She hadn’t expected Brandon to figureit out so easily. 

“I’ve been eating your cooking for years. I may have lost my memory, but not my taste buds,” Brandonsaid with a shake of his head and a helpless smile.

“I have something important to discuss with you,” Janet said, quickly changing the subject and fillingBrandon in on all the new information she had gathered. “I sent the clue to Sean on my way here. He’sinvestigating the casino.”

After a long silence, Brandon sneered, “Why haven’t I heard about this from Sean?”

“You were so worked up earlier that he probably didn’t dare to say anything since he thought you’d takeit out on him.” Janet started to clean the table after Brandon finish eating.

When she was about to take the trash out, she gently reminded Brandon once more, “I’ll handle it. Youjust stay here and focus on getting better.”

It was her responsibility to look out for Brandon now.

A grin spread across Brandon’s face as he scooped up a mountain of paperwork and said, “I know.You’re free to act however you choose. That’s OK with me, and I won’t interfere.”

Janet replied with a gratified grin, “Great!”

Her smile faded as soon as she closed the door behind her.

Distracted, she walked to the trash bin to throw away the trash.

After some consideration, Janet decided to phone Frank and inquire about what happened.

“Are you aware, Frank, that Brandon’s memory is progressively regaining ground?” Frank, Janetreasoned, must have been aware of it. Frank and Brandon must have been keeping something fromher, and it had to be about it.
