StarNovelChapter 759:
Gerard sighed inwardly in frustration. His boss had officially becthick-skinned.
Lawrence gave Kristian a once-over, then asked, “Have your mental faculties recovered?”
Kristian shot him a look that all but screamed, “Isn't that obvious?” Lawrence wisely didn’t push. After calling for
two more sets of plates, the three sat down and began to eat. Throughout the meal, Lawrence couldn't stop
scrutinizing Kristian’s every move, analyzing every subtle cue. By the end of it, he was convinced that something
had definitely gone wrong.
“If you keep staring atlike that, Ill start thinking you have a thing for me, just like that guy,” Kristian said
coolly, clearly annoyed at being gawked at, even by a doctor.
Gerard was completely at a loss for words. So was Lawrence.
Lawrence shot a glance at Gerard. “Freya didn’t cwith you?”
Gerard answered honestly. “I'm only here to pick up a cufflink I left behind,” Kristian announced grandly, making
sure both of them heard him loud and clear. “And Dr. Hayes just askeda few routine questions. That's all that
happened. Understood?” He swept his gaze between the two men.

Gerard’s mouth twitched. Compared to how he acted on the phone, Lawrence was acting like a completely
different person around Kristian.
“If you wantto tell Freya the sstory when she asks, you'll have to cooperate withon one thing,”
Lawrence added slyly, clearly not planning to let him off so easily. “You'll need to do a full check-up later.”
“No problem,” Kristian agreed without blinking.
With the deal struck, both men shifted their focus onto Gerard, who froze mid-bite, caught completely off guard.
“Gerard,” Lawrence said, flashing a warm, almost fatherly smile. “Just in case you accidentally blurt something
out, you'll stay here. No need for you to cinside.”

“But...”
“Do you want to keep getting paid?” said Kristian.
“Alright. Ill wait outside,” Gerard said quickly, catching on fast. After lunch, Lawrence and Kristian slipped
through three passcode-secured doors, heading deeper inside.
Inside a private meeting room, Lawrence adjusted his glasses and examined the man sitting before him. “You're
not quite the sas when you first woke up.”
“Really?”
“Yes.”
“Is that a good thing or a bad thing?” Kristian asked lightly, as if it were casual conversation.
Lawrence didn’t answer right away. Instead, he shifted topics as he began the full examination. When it was
finally done, he had no choice but to conclude that Kristian’s mental faculties had returned to normal. Kristian
idly traced the rim of the report with his fingertip, lost deep in thought.
Lawrence, still studying the report, asked, “How have your mental faculties recovered?”
