Amanda paused a bit, frowning slightly. She looked back at George and asked, “What do you mean?”
“My brother’s head was injured, so he has forgotten everything in the past. He even can’t recognize me. He’ll only recover after he will take an operation. Please help us make a decision. Or, could you go to visit him, please?” George said in a pleading tone.
Amanda was only surprised for a second, and then she returned to normal. “That’s a good thing. He won’t come to pester me again. And you as well, don’t ever come to bother me in the future.”
After finishing her words, she entered the house and closed the door, having no intention to agree with them at all.
George was disappointed. “Is her heart as cold as a stone? My brother has become like that, but she doesn’t care about him at all.”
Atwood heaved a sigh. “It’s alright. We’ve tried our best. Let’s go.”
He pulled the door of the car open and sat in, George followed him. “What should we do next?” he asked.
Atwood thought for a moment. “Why don’t we go back to City B first? That’s our territory. We can find a hospital to check up on Mr. James. Then we’ll know what to do next.”
“What if he must have the operation?” asked George.
Atwood looked at him. “Have you ever thought it’s actually better for Mr. James to forget his past?”
George became excited instantly. “What are you talking about? Do you want to take this chance to steal his company?”
“Do you think everyone is like your mother?” Atwood didn’t want to mention those things, but he was quite upset. Who did George think he was to judge him that way?
George was also pissed. He knew his mother was quite greedy and didn’t treat Stanford well, but she was his mother. He could think of her that way, but when others criticized her in his presence, George was quite unhappy.
Atwood didn’t want to argue with him at all. He said in a more friendly tone, “You’ve seen Amanda Nelson’s attitude now. After she got to Mr. James’s current status, her heart wasn’t softened at all. It’s almost impossible for her to be reconciled with Mr. James.”
“What’s your point?” asked George.
“If Mr. James’s memory is recovered, he’ll be quite regretful and upset about his past. He will still insist on winning back Amanda Nelson’s heart although he knows it’s impossible. He should forget everything than suffering while remembering his past,” said Atwood.
George frowned. “What do you mean exactly? You don’t want to cure him, do you?”
“The treatment is risky. If he doesn’t take the operation, he won’t need to take the risk of the operation, and nor will he need to feel upset for Amanda. If in the future, he falls in love with another woman, she can take care of him. Isn’t it good?”
George still couldn’t agree with him. He just thought that the decision shouldn’t be made by them but by Stanford himself.
“I need to think about it.”
