Chapter 1400 Unable to Bear It
Michael was floored, "No way, the doc said he's never gonna..."
"That's some ancient, forbidden stuff. Folks say the odds of bouncing back are slim 'cause hardly anyone gets it. On the surface, I made Joseph look like a fool, but really, it was a way to bring him back. His smarts have been creeping back from zero. In about six months, he should remember everything."
Megan said coolly, "This includes the whole love story with Cassie in Silverwood."
Michael's mind was racing, "You can't pull one over on me."
"I'm not lying. In about a month, you can ask Joseph if he starts to remember stuff."
Megan added with a bitter smile, "If I wanted to totally wreck Joseph, he'd still be a raving lunatic."
Michael went quiet.
He wasn't sure about Megan's story.
But checking her story was easy. In a month, he could just ask Joseph.
"Michael, I came to you today hoping you wouldn't tell Joseph I was here." Megan suddenly pleaded, looking at him.
"If what you say is true, you can explain it to Joseph."
"But it's also true that I messed with his memory before, keeping him and Cassie apart for three years. With his personality, if he finds me, he'll kill me." Megan weakly smiled, "And I gave David the drugs that were meant for Isabella. I had no choice. If I hadn't done that, I would've been worse than dead."
Michael frowned hard.
Yeah, if Joseph and the others found out, Megan would either be killed by Joseph or tortured to death by Declan.
Word is, David, after being taken to Neya City, has been tortured beyond recognition.
In the end, Megan was both hateful and pitiable.
After all, she was a woman Michael once loved, and he felt a bit torn.
After a long time, he said, "I'll give you a month. If Joseph starts remembering things by then, I'll secretly send you abroad to start fresh. But if you're lying, I'll have to hand you over to Joseph."
"Okay."
Megan smiled slightly, thanking him with tears in her eyes.
Michael's thin lips moved slightly, feeling a bit stifled, but he said nothing. He just opened the car door and got in.
"Michael, can you give me your current number?" Megan quickly explained, "Don't worry, I won't bug you without a reason. I just want to be able to contact you in case of an emergency. I know you have a new life, and I'm happy for you."
She said this, but her eyes were full of sadness.
Michael couldn't bear it and gave her his number before driving off.
Looking at the number on her phone, the sorrow on Megan's face disappeared, replaced by smugness.
Luckily, David had used her as a pawn back then, so whether it was Jacob or Jonah, everything was set up in advance to make sure her reunion with Michael went smoothly.
As for Joseph, what she said was true. She had secretly tampered with things behind David's back.
David was confident of his success, but she couldn't put all her hopes on him.
If David pulled it off, Joseph wouldn't stand a chance at getting his memory back. Ralph would take over, and David's first move would be to torture Joseph to death.
But if David flopped...
Then Joseph would be her ticket to get back with Michael.
Turns out, she made the right call.
David's luck was still a bit off.
Now, the Jude Family was top dog in Madison, and Michael was trusted with big responsibilities, diving into the new energy sector.
If she could get back with Michael, she'd be back on top.
Thinking about her plan, Megan felt super satisfied, even if it meant getting her arm hurt.
Michael drove back to the villa, lost in thought.
Only the housekeeper, Thea, was home.
"Mr. Jude, Mrs. Jude and Maeve went to the old house for dinner."
Michael nodded, looking serious, and went upstairs.
About half an hour later, Laura came back holding Maeve.
Thea whispered, "Mr. Jude's back, but he seems off, like something's bugging him."
"Okay."
Laura smiled and nodded.
Upstairs, Michael was already showering.
After Laura finished feeding the baby, he came out. The house was warm, and he was just in pajama pants and a t-shirt, showing off his muscular build.
Yeah, Michael was ripped.
Laura had only recently noticed this after seeing his body. Despite his handsome face, he was quite lean and muscular in all the right places, with a nice feel.
Thinking about hugging his waist last night, Laura's heart started to race.
"Wasn't it Jonah's birthday? You came back too early." Laura pushed those thoughts aside and said casually, "I didn't ask you to come back right after dinner. As long as you're back before nine, it's cool."
"I came back right after dinner; everything else just seemed dull."
Michael didn't dare tell her about meeting Megan, so he awkwardly said, "It's just singing, going to bars, or clubs. It gets boring after a while. I'd rather come home and be with you and Maeve."
Hearing this, Laura looked at him seriously for a moment, "I remember you used to love hanging out with them."
"Later, I got kicked out of the Jude Family, and they all avoided me. Now they're trying to suck up to me, but it's pointless. Few are genuine." Michael took Maeve from her arms, "Baby, did you miss Daddy?"
Maeve looked at him and smiled happily.
Laura remembered what Thea said and hesitated, "How's work? I heard from Aaron that there were some issues with the Emerald Lakeside project recently."
"It's sorted. Things are smooth there. I might have to travel occasionally, but don't worry, I'll be back in a day or two at most." Michael quickly hugged her waist, looking at her beautiful face, feeling a bit aroused.
But then, Megan's sorrowful face flashed in his mind, making him feel annoyed.
"Laura, you go take a shower. I'll play with the baby."
"Okay."
After Laura got up, Michael stared at her back and thought, 'Even if Jonah is right, so what? I already have my own married life.'
He was very content.
Once he confirmed Megan was telling the truth, he would send her away immediately.
