She Took The House The Car And My Heart

Chapter 289 Kristian's Condition Freya could read every word on the document, yet together, they felt strange-like something was off She frowned and pointed to the first line. "Did something happen to Kristian?" "It's nothing serious. He's completely fine," Lawrence said quickly, dodging the question. "He's eating well and drinking normally. There's just a small issue I haven't figured out yet." Freya eased a little at that.

She didn't overthink it. She figured Kristian had simply found out Lawrence had been contacting her in secret.

It didn't seem like a big deal. As long as Kristian was okay, she'd call his father to cpick him up. The losses Lawrence mentioned? Those were not a problem.

"All right," she said and reached for the pen to sign.

But just before the ink touched the page, she hesitated.

*Lawrence grew tense. He feared she might change her mind. Still, he kept his voice steady. "What's wrong?" "Are you hiding something from me?" Freya looked up, her eyes fixed on him.

She remembered Kristian had made a deal with Lawrence to rescue her. And knowing Lawrence, there was no way he'd let Kristian leave before getting what he wanted.

Something didn't sit right.

Lawrence feigned confusion. "What are you talking about?" Freya didn't answer. She just stared.

He looked calm, but sweat clung to his palms. Inside, he was anything but composed.

"Oh-right," he said quickly, switching topics. "Kristian is doing much better now. He'll just need a check-up every month." "Alright," Freya said quietly.

Since Lawrence hadn't shown any clear signs of guilt, she signed the papers.

Maybe Kristian still wasn't fully stable. Maybe Lawrence simply couldn't fix him. That would explain why he was so eager for her to take him.

There were two copies of the contract.

After handing Freya her copy, Lawrence looked like he had just dropped a heavy load off his back. The burden 15:50 Special bonus over 40% < Chapter 289 Kristian's Condition of caring for Kristian was finally lifted.

"Please follow me," he said with a sudden burst of cheer.

Freya walked with him, but this time, they didn't head toward the medical ward. They went the other way.

They passed through four secured doors. When the last door opened, Lawrence stepped in, speaking in the soft tone one uses with children. "Kristian, your elder sister's here to take you home.* Freya blinked, confused.

Kristian's elder sister? She stepped into the room, unsure of what to expect.

Inside, Kristian was sitting in a chair, reading. He wore a patient's gown, but his skin was clear and full of color.

He looked up when she entered.

Their eyes met.

Freya's brows drew together.

Something about his gaze-his expression-felt wrong.

"My elder sister?" Kristian repeated, his voice uncertain, eyes filled with wonder.

He didn't know why, but even though he usually disliked people-including the doctor-when he saw "his sister", he felt a strange warmth. Like they'd known each other forever.

*Freya froze.

In that moment, she understood everything. Kristian had lost his memory.

"That's right. She's your elder sister. You can go hwith her now," Lawrence said, stepping closer with a smile.

Kristian looked at Freya, eyes locked on her face.

Then, slowly, he stood.

He took two unsure steps forward, his voice trembling between hope and doubt. "Are you really my elder sister?" "I..." Freya tried to speak.

"She is," Lawrence cut in. "Go pack your things. I need to talk to your sister for a bit." He gestured for Freya to follow him outside.

In the hallway, her thoughts were spinning.

She'd considered every symptom Jacob had mentioned, but this? This hadn't crossed her mind.

"What happened?" she asked quietly.

"He's lost all his memories. His mind is like that of a five-year-old." Then Lawrence went over sprecautions. "It's not ideal, but it could've been worse." Chapter 280 Krishan's Condition Thankfully, even with a childlike mind, Kristian was still unusually smart That was exactly why Lawrence wanted him gone. If Kristian stayed, he might start pulling apart his lab piece by piece "You should be grateful he didn't lose everything." Lawrence added Freya's chest tightened. "Will he get better?" "He will. But I can't say when. For now, just keep things peaceful at home. Don't let anything upset him," Lawrence said, glancing toward the room.

"Shouldn't I take him to familiar places? Help him remember?" "Not yet. His mind's too fragile. If he gets overwhelmed, it might make things worse. Calm and comfort are the best medicine right now." "Alright," Freya said softly.

Lawrence paused, pressing his lips together.

Then he said something out of place, something he hadn't planned. "I know what happened between you two. But please, set it aside. Take good care of him. When he's back to normal, you can both go your separate ways." Freya's eyes turned distant. She remembered everything.

Lawrence looked uneasy. "What is it?"

Should "Didn't he say he wanted nothing to do with me? That we should liven separate lives? If that's true, isn'tbeing around just making things harder for him?"

"That's a long story," Lawrence said with a sigh. Freya had already signed the papers, and most of the loose ends were tied. "But trust me. If I'm letting you take him, it's for his good," he said calmly. Freya wasn't buying it. "Enlighten me." "It won't affect you. You want your life back, right? Once he recovers, he'll stick to his promise. And the rest? Knowing too much will only drag you down." "I'll decide what's necessary," Freya said, her voice cold.

It was just how she was. She couldn't ignore a loose thread once she noticed it. If things made sense, she wouldn't question them.

But Kristian's messages through Lawrence had been strange. They kept tugging at her mind. Small, but persistent.

Lawrence finally gave in. "Okay. But if he asks about this after he recovers, you'll have to backup."
