Chapter 214

Author: DuckDuckJoe
Giselle looked down at the paper cup in her hands, and her long eyelashes hid her gaze as she pondered silently.

Lindsay wasn't anxious when she received no answer. Instead, she turned around and leaned against the railings, looking lazy as ever.

"I think someone did it on purpose. From what I've heard, Chester took a slice of someone's pie."

Upon hearing that, Giselle immediately thought of Anthony and looked at Lindsay. Although Lindsay was still a young lady, she was way more mature than people around her age.

Time slowly passed, and when Jean approached them, Lindsay left with a random excuse.

"Gigi, Captain Lane is looking for you."

Giselle was the only one who was conscious after experiencing the crash, and she could even walk around freely. So, it was reasonable for the police to want to speak with her.

When Jim approached Giselle with two police officers in tow, Jean took the initiative to give them some space. She just stood somewhere nearby and got on her phone.

    It rained heavily in Seaworth City for the next three days. Giselle took some days off from livestreaming and kept visiting the hospital. Scabs had already formed over the wounds on her body. As for the ones that were more serious, she still needed to apply medication to them every day.Chester was lying in bed in the intensive care unit. For three days, people came to visit him, regardless of how close they were to the Fordham family. However, Jean stopped them from going into the ward with no exception."Gigi, you don't have to come all the way here every day. The doctor said Chester was out of danger, so listen to me and get some rest at home."Giselle looked incredibly tired, and anyone could tell that she wasn't getting enough sleep. Jean felt heartbroken when she saw Giselle like that.The police had said that the driver who crashed into them had died on the spot. They looked into the driver's call history and other background information, but they hadn't discovered anythin

    Finley soon arrived at the hospital with Harry. After what happened at the laboratory last time, she locked herself up in her room for a few days straight and didn't talk to anyone.When she heard that Chester was in an accident, she felt conflicted. Chester humiliated her in front of a crowd back at the laboratory. If she took the initiative to get close to him again, wouldn't that make her prideless and obsessive? If people learned about this, she wouldn't be able to live with dignity anymore.Finley hesitated for a long while. When she found out that Harry was heading to the hospital, she returned to her old self and followed him.When they entered the elevator, she reminded Harry, "If Chester asks why I'm here, just tell him that you forced me to come. Understand, Harry?"If they did that, she could at least save her dignity. Harry was tired of hearing that from her as she had told him at least a thousand times since they left the house.Feeling annoyed, he gave her a perfunct

    Five minutes later, Hector stood back up and said calmly, "From what I can tell, Chet's brain was probably injured from the impact. That's why his memories are in a mess right now."Jean frowned and asked, "Then, what should we do?" She thought it was ridiculous for Chester to mistake his former niece-in-law for his wife."I can't promise you when he'll recover, but a messed up memory won't impact his life that much." Right after Hector said that, Jonathan glared at him and asked, "Are you saying that he might not regain his memory ever again?"Clearly feeling the hostility coming from Jonathan, Hector said with his eyebrows raised, "I didn't say that. However, we doctors aren't gods, and we'll have to leave this to fate. He might get better in a short while or a few years—no one can say for sure."With that, the whole ward fell into silence.Jean had a throbbing headache, and she rubbed her eyebrows, feeling exhausted. Since things had already turned out that way, there was no po

    Chester lay on the hospital bed with white gauze wrapped around his head. His face looked pale, and his eyes were dark. Compared to his usual noble appearance, he looked more fragile at the moment.Giselle couldn't help thinking about what he told her before he passed out that day. "Don't worry, Gigi."With that sentence from him, she couldn't reject any request from him at all, even if it was something trivial like feeding him apples. So, she cut the apple into smaller pieces and used a fork to feed him.Since Chester had just woken up, he couldn't eat too much. So, even if he insisted on eating more, she would say no. Chester had no choice but to give up, and Giselle ended up finishing the rest of the apple slices.After a few minutes, Giselle returned to the bedside after washing her hands. She couldn't help wondering how Chester thought they first met now that his memories were all mixed up."Mr. Fordham, do you… do you still remember where we first met?"Chester looked away

    However, after investigating for so long, they still couldn't find any clues.The driver that caused the crash died on the spot, and the autopsy concluded that he was drunk driving. The driver also had a simple background. His parents were dead, and he had always been aloof. He didn't have any friends in Seaworth City and lived in a run-down basement.There was no way he would have anything to do with a perfect man like Chester, let alone have a grudge against the latter.Chester narrowed his eyes slightly as he already had a suspicion in his mind. "There was a guy named Joshua Mandell in the laboratory previously. He ran away after stealing some lab result data. I went abroad last time because of this."After Chester caught Joshua, he punished the latter for a while. However, Joshua managed to escape when Chester wasn't paying attention. According to Chester's investigation, Joshua had a special relationship with Charlotte.If the car crash this time had something to do with him,

    Silence ensued on the call as Emma's question stumped Giselle. Was Chester faking his amnesia? Giselle figured he had no reason to do that.When Giselle didn't say anything, Emma became anxious. "Hey, Gigi! Are you listening?""Yeah." Giselle returned to her senses, but her mind was in a mess. So, she couldn't answer Emma's question for the time being. In order to stop Emma from talking about it, Giselle changed the subject."Is Linda still visiting your company recently?"The Grants were in a mess at that moment as Harold's affair had already proven to be true. As for having an illegitimate son, the Grant family wasn't sure about it just yet. They had no evidence, and there was no way Harold would admit it that easily.In the eyes of the law, if Linda wanted to get a divorce, Harold would be the one at fault. Thus, he would be on the losing side when splitting their assets. He had worked hard on his company for more than half of his life, so he would never give half of their asse

    Giselle shifted to a more comfortable position. Since she was bored, she scrolled through Charlotte's profile on the live streaming platform and watched the latter's live stream.Charlotte had exquisite makeup on, and she had luxurious-looking bookshelves behind her, making her look extremely classy. Seeing how great she was doing at that moment made Giselle think that someone was behind Charlotte's success.Giselle didn't think Charlotte was smart enough to upgrade her setup so suddenly. After all, from what Giselle could remember, Charlotte was a stingy person. It might have to do with Charlotte's upbringing, but she was really calculative when it came to spending money.Thus, even after she returned to her actual family, she still couldn't get rid of that habit. When Giselle was kicked out of the Grant family back then, Charlotte came up with the idea to make Giselle pay them for taking care of her.Charlotte didn't make it too obvious and beat around the bush. However, she dema

    Giselle was left speechless, thinking how Chester's aloof image was completely destroyed now that his memories were in disarray. Although he was only calling her dear by text, she could practically hear it. Suddenly, she felt uneasy and didn't know how to reply to him.Just as she was hesitating, Chester's video-call came in. She answered it after switching to her phone's back camera. The footage on her phone shook a little before she saw Chester's pale dashing face appear on the screen.After her experience with him last time, she was now calmer. It was as if she had grown immune to his appearance."Hey, dear." His attractive voice came through the speaker and echoed in the huge living room. It was windy outside, and the sound of waves crashing could be heard. Neon lights shone brightly from the cityscape. Giselle ignored the weird feeling in her heart and calmly answered with a hum.Chester couldn't help looking happy when he received a response from Giselle. Since he didn't have

    Chester looked into Giselle's eyes as he raised the corners of his lips slightly. "You're my wife. You can do whatever you want."After his last accident, he had taken advantage of the situation with Giselle under the pretext of amnesia. He would call her his "wife" or "Gigi" interchangeably.Until now, he had not had the time to come clean to her about this. Chester needed more time.Giselle was overwhelmed by the sudden profession of love.For some reason, her entire body suddenly felt warm. She looked away quickly, rolled down the car window, and let the wind blow upon her face. It was only then that her pounding heart settled into a calm rhythm.Chester caught everything from beside her.A trace of delight flashed across his eyes at the speed of light. When their gaze met again, however, it had disappeared without a trace.Chester decided to take it slow and easy.He straightened up and said, "A new restaurant recently opened in the suburbs. Should we go there for lunch?"

    "You don't have to explain anything. Me and Jonathan? We're just aunt and nephew to each other."You're trying to ask him out, aren't you? When you finally win him over, don't forget to address me as Aunt Giselle, okay?"It was a soul-crushing blow.Giselle used their unique relationship as an opportunity to attack them without mercy!The greatest part about this was that they could not do anything to her.Charlotte's and Jonathan's expressions matched, which was a rare sight. Jonathan clenched his teeth in anger. His eyes hardened as he said, "Giselle, you're truly something else!"She knew to hit where it hurt. How did he not know that Giselle had this side to her?Giselle feigned humility. "You're too kind."The whole fiasco between the trio was becoming something of a movie to the passersby.

Instantly, his heart skipped a beat. Alarm bells started to ring in his head.Sure enough…"I'm sorry, Chester. I forgot that you're no longer at Lawson Group."Giselle addressed Chester affectionately without any hesitation.She did this on purpose, of course.Jonathan was rendered speechless. He was so mad that he could even kill someone right now.But when Jonathan recalled his mother's admonition after his fight with Chester, he did his best to hold his anger back.From the phone, Chester could be heard saying, "Just stay there. I'll come over right now."When the call ended, Giselle could hear Jonathan's sneer. "Do you have to get on my nerves, Giselle?"His resentment was as cle

    Jonathan was practically running on autopilot mode as his legs carried him toward Giselle.Meanwhile, Giselle was waiting for Chester's reply.All of a sudden, a shadow loomed over her, followed by a familiar voice that called, "Gigi."Both of them were good-looking people. Their standing side by side drew many people's attention.Passersby—including the employees—looked in their direction. They had even slowed down subconsciously as they walked by, just to catch a glimpse.Giselle's gaze went from casual to chilling in a split second.There was coldness hidden in her eyes, and a look of vexation settled on her face.Giselle took two steps away from him, putting some distance between them.Jonathan felt like someone was gripping his heart tight, making him feel suffocated.Dismay instantly replaced the feeling of excitement he had felt earlier.

    An hour later, the car arrived at Lawson Group.The sky looked gray and hazy, while the air was hot.It was now lunchtime, so there were a lot of people going in and out of the building. Giselle texted Chester, letting him know that she had arrived.At the same time, Jonathan, in his sleep-deprived state, was staring at his phone. The expression on his face was so dark that Rick, his assistant, was trembling with fear when he came in to brief Jonathan on his schedule. He did not even dare to breathe."M-Mr. Lawson…""This had better be important!"Jonathan was like an explosive that could detonate any second.Rick gulped. "Mr. Lawson, I've notified the board that the meeting will be held at the conference room at 2:00 pm…"His voice trailed off at the end.With a loud bang, Jonathan threw his phone to the ground.When it crashed onto the floor, the screen shattered into pieces.That immediately shut Rick up.Ever since Jonathan had returned from the hospital, his temper had

    It was the weekend today, so the café was crowded.The chaos swallowed the woman's voice.

More importantly, the woman's daughter was on the mistress' side.To be hit with betrayal on both sides knocked the wind out of her. Every day, the woman had been drowning in her own tears.Judging from her mental state, depression seemed imminent.Giselle took a sip of her coffee before she asked with a calm tone, "The reason you've approached me is because you want to get back together with your husband and daughter, is that it?"In the public's eye, Giselle was someone who helped mend relationships.

    Giselle only went home after it turned dark outside.Penny had transferred some money to Giselle and thanked her once again for today.Penny texted, "I'm not sad at all anymore. If you hadn't gone with me today, I think I would've already died from frustration." As for the aftermath of the storm, Eugene took care of everything. Every single penny that she had spent on Zayn would be retrieved through legal means.Giselle replied, "You're welcome."Only after that did she have the time to check out the link Yvette had sent to her.It was about the incident from earlier today. Videos from the live stream had gone viral.Obviously, it was not from her own live stream but a third party's.Her fans, who had gone down to the location, had captured everything on camera.

    In the past, Jean had reminded Jonathan more than once to keep his distance from Charlotte, but those words fell on deaf ears every single time. He never took her words seriously.It was too late for regrets now.Jonathan lowered his head. With a pair of sad eyes and a dejected voice, he mumbled, "I've said it before, Mom. I won't have anyone as my wife if it's not Giselle."His only wish was to marry Giselle. But everyone was telling him that he had cheated on her.Jonathan found it hard to believe that he would cheat on her. He was certain that there had to be some kind of misunderstanding.And the missing piece to this puzzle was none other than that woman named Charlotte. Jean, Francis, and Martha remained silent. Jonathan was hopelessly in love with Giselle.

    It was merely a second ago when Giselle had told him to keep a distance from her, yet she was now in his car voluntarily.Jonathan did not move an inch. He still had his back against the inside of the car door as he faced Giselle, intently looking at her."Women are really fickle. Giselle must still have feelings for me. She's just too proud to admit it," he thought to himself.As for the rumors about her and Chester, they might just be putting on an act.Giselle did not know that Jonathan was in the process of gaslighting himself. When she noticed that he was not about to drive any time soon, she frowned and said, "If you're not going to drive, scram."Only then did Jonathan fix his position. He started the engine, and they headed for the hospital.At first, he was in a joyous mood. He tagged behind Giselle upon arrival at the hospital. It was not until he had reached a ward and saw who was seated on the hospital bed that his expression turned sullen.Giselle had gotten into
