Chapter 761:
If Kristian’s mental faculties had returned to normal, might his memory also be on the brink of returning? The
possibility allowed a sigh of relief to escape Gerard's lips.
“Just make sure Freya remains in the dark about today’s events,” Kristian cautioned, his intense gaze locking
onto Gerard's, laden with an unspoken threat. “Believe me, you don’t want to be on the receiving end of what
will happen if you slip up.”
A cold chill crept down Gerard's spine. That look Kristian shot him was sharp enough to slice through bone,
making the hairs on his neck stand on end. It was downright unnerving!
Still, Gerard quickly straightened up and nodded, his expression solemn yet obedient. “Don’t worry. My lips are
sealed.”
Kristian gave a small, almost lazy nod toward Lawrence. “Let's go.” His tone left no room for argument. “And
don’t forget what you promised.”
“Absolutely,” Lawrence responded with succinct gravity.
With a fluid stride, Kristian exited, his usual attire of stern formality replaced by relaxed, all-black casuals. There
was an unmistakable shift in his demeanor—an air of recklessness, a hint of newfound freedom that was entirely
out of character.

your mind, Gerard?”
Biting his lip, Gerard glanced toward the empty doorway where Kristian had vanished. “There's something I've
been meaning to ask,” he admitted, urgency creeping into his voice. “Could my boss... be suffering from a split
personality or something of the sort?”
Lawrence, caught off guard by the bluntness, paused only momentarily before regaining his poise. “And what
leads you to think that?” he inquired, his tone laced with curiosity.
Gerard's honesty poured forth. “He's just so different now—it’s like he’s not the sperson. Even if someone
loses their memory, their core personality shouldn't shift this drastically, should it?”
“What are you doing lingering there?” Kristian’s voice echoed sharply from afar.

Gerard flinched, tension gripping him, yet his desire for answers held him firm. “Dr. Hayes?”
“Better not keep him waiting,” Lawrence advised, his voice a mix of warning and sympathy, choosing not to
delve deeper into Gerard's concerns.
Confused and slightly frustrated, Gerard hesitated. Lawrence was well aware of Kristian’s impatience, so why not
just provide him with a straightforward answer? There was ample tafter all. A simple yes or no would hardly
take a moment.
“Gerard,” Kristian called out, his tone edged with a subtle urgency that filled the quiet space behind him.
Gerard remained silent, his thoughts a whirlwind of doubt about Lawrence's integrity. Shaking off his hesitations,
he approached Kristian, climbed into the car with a sense of obligation, and they drove off.
As they distanced themselves from the medical facility, Kristian threw a sidelong glance at Gerard. “What were
you discussing with Lawrence Hayes?”
“Nothing significant,” Gerard responded, his voice nonchalant.
