Chapter 401

“Right, speaking of this, I realized I had been hypnotized.” Chris put down his cutlery, took a sip of tea, and asked Nina, “Can we still invite Frederick to take a look? Or I could go as well.”Roy frowned. “You were hypnotized? When?”“It should have been the day my mother passed away. I now vaguely remembered her saying something to me before she died, but in my mind there was only the image of her speaking, without any sound at all. I couldn’t recall what she had said.”Jasper said, “This does sound like hypnosis. Collin and I had both experienced it.”Collin also nodded. “Yes, the matter back in Lonat. Best not to mention it. But hypnosis could be minor or serious. If, at that time, the hypnosis had been directed specifically at Chris, then things might be quite complicated.”None of them had expected that Chris had such an experience.Roy and Nina had been in contact with him for so long, yet they had never noticed he had been hypnotized.It was Chris himself who remembere

Chapter 402

As one of the members opposing Aitairy’s domestic opening, Nina should not have attended the ceremony. But because of family reasons, she had no choice but to go.Roy worried that something might happen if she went alone, so he simply accompanied her.Unintentionally, this ended up being better for Michael.“I already knew he wasn’t someone who could be dealt with easily when I first met him. He’s someone with two faces. He played a very interesting game, but in front of me it was just a show. Now he had transformed into the CEO of Aitairy. And now, even I could do nothing about him.”Yes, if they had known Michael’s true identity earlier, many things would never have happened.There were no other social engagements that evening. Jessica was in good spirits, so she opened a bottle of red wine with Collin. Nina also drank a little.At that moment, Jessica’s cheeks were flushed. Without makeup, she looked softer, but a sneer wrapped her whole being in malice directed at Michael.“

“It’s normal.” Chris closed the file, tossed it in front of Francesca, and clasped his hands together.“I once encountered a patient who knelt before us to save his wife.” Chris’s expression was indifferent. “Do you think he truly loved his wife?”Chris shook his head. “Not at all. He had been the one who nearly caused her death. And only when she was critically ill and the lawyer arrived did he realize that if his wife died, he would not receive a single cent. That was why he knelt and begged us to save her.”In the hospital, one could witness every kind of human drama.You simply grew used to it.“I thought that after working this long, I could get used to it. But it seems I was still too naive. Still, it’s fine. I can adjust gradually. My mindset is fine. Dr. Wilson is in charge of coordinating with Hurricane Media—what else needs arranging?”Chris asked, “Has Aitairy sent me an invitation letter?”Without hesitation, Francesca pulled a white card from under another stack of

Chapter 404

After reconciling, Jessica rarely went out for social engagements, and she never stayed out overnight anymore.Less important social occasions were handed over to Shannon and the others. Everyone in the outside world knew that Jessica had someone at home, and that her marriage was very good.But today, no matter what, she had to attend.“It’s also because of Aitairy’s opening.” Jessica sounded helpless over the phone. The car was already driving down the street, and she leaned on her hand, suppressing her temper. “Nina will also go. None of us support Aitairy opening domestically and occupying the market. Tonight’s dinner is to discuss the future business situation.”She explained everything in detail. Chris had already gotten into his own car.Fortunately, he had driven to the hospital today. Otherwise, he really wouldn’t have known how to get back.“Will you be drinking?” asked Chris.Jessica nodded. “It’s inevitable. Some of the elders have even more seniority in the business

Chapter 405

Nina still faced the mirror. “This doesn’t really count as biased, does it? What difference does it make if you negotiate or I do?”Not much of a difference.After all, the money was theirs to earn. Whoever negotiated was the same.Even if the task fell to Jessica, she certainly wouldn’t handle it personally. With so many people in the company, anyone could do it. But if it were someone else sitting in front of Hugh, they would only end up being bargained down. Jessica was different.Given how much the Jameson family valued Chris, whatever leverage she wanted, the Jameson family would simply place it in her hands.“Oh, here he comes.” Jessica was looking out the window and saw a black Lincoln stop nearby. She had seen Hugh’s car before, so she recognized it.“Where, where?” This was Nina’s first time properly meeting Hugh, and she was quite curious about this member of the Jameson family.Before Chris returned, there had been no younger generation in the Jameson family. Hugh had

“Give them a warning. If this happens again, visitation won’t be allowed. The hospital does have such a rule. Just have security enforce it. From now on, whenever the family member comes, security should monitor them the whole time. If they make a scene, remove them immediately. If it happens more than twice, no visitation allowed.”“Alright, I’ll tell security. The other patients’ conditions have already improved, but because of what the family members said, many are now worried the production team won’t take care of them. Psychological stress can also affect recovery.”Chris always felt this family member was being deliberate, but he had no proof.Francesca had also investigated. It really was the patient’s family member, and the household situation was exactly as the patient had described—there was no possibility of fraud.The two of them discussed the surgical plan for the next day. After about half an hour, Chris received a message from Jessica saying she was almost finished.

Hangover remedy.Hugh felt a little uncomfortable when he saw the flask sitting in the car’s front passenger seat.He said, “Of course it’s a secret recipe. Only Holly knew it. After she died, I thought I would never drink it again in this lifetime.”Chris froze for a moment.The hangover remedy had indeed been something his mother taught him to make. He had never expected his uncle to have drunk it before, or to know it was his mother’s secret recipe.“Let’s find another place. None of us ate enough.” Nina rubbed her stomach. “Who picked that place? The food was awful.”“That restaurant belongs to Mr. Quinn, so naturally it was southern-style cooking. It’s normal you don’t like it. Let’s go to the Cosmos, I’ll have Ethan prepare a room.”At the Cosmos, Hugh drank the long-missed hangover remedy.He cherished it deeply.“In the past, I always went to the old residence. In the whole Jameson family, I was the only one working in the Jameson Group. Drinking at social functions be

Chapter 408

In truth, it was all about sanctioning Michael, but they had no better ideas.Hugh’s very presence was simply to support Jessica, making sure a group of elders could not put her in a difficult position.As long as Hugh sat there, and his attitude toward Jessica and Nina remained warm, no one else dared to speak up.“A bunch of old fools—all they want is to use the fact that I once dated Michael against me. There’s nothing I can do about it. The fact that I dated him is already set in stone. I can’t change it.” Jessica shrugged as she applied a face mask in front of the mirror, then glanced at Chris. “But when it comes to my relationship with Michael, Uncle Hugh actually understands. He’s much more reasonable than that group of elders.”Chris smiled. “After all, he’s family. He wouldn’t undermine you at a time like this. Even if he doesn’t agree with everything, he wouldn’t say it out loud. I think Uncle Hugh will investigate, and when he finds out the truth, he’ll deal with it then

Chapter 409

Hugh wanted to dig deeper.“Alright, be careful on the road.”Watching Hugh leave the hotel, Chris went straight to the hospital.He was almost there when he received a call from Jessica.“You went to see Uncle Hugh off?” Jessica’s voice was drowsy, clearly not fully awake.“Yeah. Breakfast is on the table. They’re still warm. Eat before you go to the office. I got a call from Shannon this morning and knew you didn’t have an early meeting, so there’s no rush.”Jessica stepped out of the bedroom and saw the table filled with breakfast Chris had made with his own hands.He had even left a note saying he had gone to deliver food to Hugh.“You went straight to the hospital?”“They said that the patient’s family kept causing trouble and was disturbing others. I have to check it out. If it really doesn’t work, then visitation won’t be allowed anymore. Ashley already mentioned it to me yesterday.”“She’s going to make a fuss until the patient’s surgery is done.”At the end of the d

Chapter 410

She used money as an excuse to make a scene, but no one cared.Instead, people thought the hospital’s standards had fallen, that some of the patients actually had such family members.So when the family member saw the unfriendly stares around her, she also felt something was off.Just as she was about to leave, she turned and came face to face with Dr. Wilson.Lately, it had always been Dr. Wilson dealing with the burn victim’s family.Dr. Wilson specialized in burns, so this work naturally fell to him.“Even someone as good-tempered as Dr. Wilson got so angry he turned around to leave. He was almost cursing during the interview. This is the first time I’ve ever seen Dr. Wilson like this.”Chris also knew that Dr. Wilson was patient by nature, which was why he had assigned him this task.Now it seemed Dr. Wilson needed a vacation—or at least a raise.“Please stop making a scene. You were banned from visiting because your noise disturbed the other patients. If you can promise n
