Natalie finally asked what she had beenmeaning to ask. “Mom, where’s Brandon? Why can’t I get in touch with him?
“Well…” Johanna and Beal exchanged glances.
Finally, Johanna spoke up, albeit hesitantly.
“You see, Brandon fainted during the search and rescue, and now he is in the hospital.” Natalie‘s eyes widened and she clutched Johanna‘s hand worriedly.
“How is he now? Brandon‘s always been healthy.
How could he suddenly pass out?” The more she thought about it, the more anxious Natalie became.
She lifted the blanket and was about to get out of bed.
“We have to go back to Seacisco now.” Beal hurried up to stop his daughter.
He shook his head firmly and said, “You‘d better stay in the hospital for a few more days just to be safe.
Anyway, I had already asked my assistant to check on Brandon.
He‘s fine.” But Natalie couldn‘t calm down.
“Dad, why didn‘t you visit him yourself? Is he seriously ill?” “Calm down, Natalie.
We were so busy looking for you that we didn‘t spare time to visit him in the hospital.
But I heard that Brandon is fine now.” Johanna comforted Natalie in a gentle voice.
Natalie lowered her head, feeling guilty.
This was all happening because of her.
“Before I called you, I tried calling him first.
But I couldn‘t get through to his number.
What do you think is going on?” At first, Natalie didn‘t think too much of it.
But now, the sense of uneasiness in her heart was getting stronger and stronger.
Johanna scratched her head and averted her gaze, feeling a little embarrassed.
“The assistant said he was fine.
So that means he should‘ve woken up by now.” Truth be told, she didn‘t know what was going on with Brandon either.
When she heard what Natalie said, she also instinctively felt that something was wrong with Brandon.
Ever since Brandon was hospitalized, he seemed to stop caring about Natalie‘s disappearance.
He even withdrew his search and rescue ships, which had pissed Johanna off to no end.
Beal knew what was on his wife‘s mind, but Natalie‘s well–being was their top priority now, so he also tried to comfort their daughter.
“Your mother‘s right.
Maybe Brandon just missed the call.
He‘ll call you back as soon as he sees it.” 2 But Natalie couldn‘t rest easy.
“I have to go see Brandon.
If he‘s fine, I‘ll come back and stay in the hospital.” Johanna held her hand tightly.
“You‘re still so weak.
Stay in the hospital and recuperate! I‘ll ask Brandon to come here instead.” Seeing that Johanna sounded a little angry, Natalie hesitated and then reluctantly lay back down on the bed.
“Mom, wake me up if Brandon comes, okay?” Seeing the anxious look in her daughter‘s eyes, Johanna sighed.
“Of course, honey.
Get some sleep first.” Then Johanna pulled Beal out of the ward.
“Honey, you have to find a way to get in touch with Brandon.
I think something‘s wrong.” Johanna looked gloomy.
She felt that something was off, but she couldn‘t tell exactly what that was.
“Alright.
