Chapter 269 At Least There’s a Chance
Mikael sat by the hospital bed. “Radley, I’ve got a pretty good idea why Freya broke up with you. What she told you about wanting to marry Matthew Hood doesn’t match up.”
Radley’s pupils contracted instantly.
Half an hour later, Mikael finished sharing his speculation. “I’ve heard from experts in this field that during the recovery phase of certain memories, people can feel those memories vividly as if they just. happened.”
At that, he looked at Radley. “If that’s the case, for Freya, your affair with Danna and the harm you caused her for Danna should feel as if it just happened. This kind of situation can easily lead to emotional instability and might require a long time to adjust.”
Radley took a deep breath. “Did she tell you this?”
“Of course not. I guessed it,” Mikael replied with a smile. “But at least now you still have a chance, right?”
“So, that’s how it is!” Chris, who was listening on the side, finally caught on. “Freya broke up with you because of the pain you caused her in the past. Matthew has nothing to do with this picture, so you still have a chance to make amends!”
Mikael nodded in affirmation. “That’s right, my friend. You’ve already successfully won her back once, so what do you have to fear? Besides, her recovering her memories might not be a bad thing. At least she should also recall her feelings for you during that time.”
Radley fell into silence.
The hospital room was quiet.
“Go and get the relevant doctors.
The three of them were in a hospital, and a neurologist was brought in.
He looked at the scene: a man tied to the bed, another guy standing with a tough demeanor, and a member of the family who owns this hospital. He was a bit bewildered for a moment.
He would answer whatever questions they had, and Mikael’s words were confirmed one by one.
The doctor reminded them, “Patients who have just recovered partial memories should avoid extreme emotional fluctuations. They should transition slowly and help them understand that those are memories from the past.
After a few seconds of silence, Radley said, “Untie me.”]
Mikael stood up and walked to Radley, and began unfastening the restraints on his wrists and ankles.
Don’t untie him!” Chris exclaimed in alarm. “He’s going to beat us up!”
After being untied, Radley sat up and flexed his wrist.
Mikael turned to the doctor. “You can leave now.”
Soon after, only the three of them were left in the ward.

“Initially, I innocently thought you’ve acted unreasonably impulsive this time,” said Mikael looking at
Radley. “But it suddenly hit me that you wouldn’t disregard your family no matter how heartbroken you are. You let the fire in Monaghan Group burn without restraint, didn’t you?”
Radley’s gaze flickered, and he responded with a question, “All that you’ve said just now can’t prove Freya’s statement to be a lie.”
No matter how good your promises are, they can’t compare to the biological father.”
Although Mikael didn’t know which statement Radley was referring to, he still smiled and said, “Regardless of everything, you still have a chance, unlike before when you had no chance at all.”
Radley stood up, his prominent eyebrows slightly furrowed.
It was as if all his spirit and energy had returned to him in an instant.
“You used a sneaky move on me just now, and I’ve noted it.”
“Sure.” Mikael chuckled.
“Connor, come in!” Radley called out.
The door opened, and Connor walked in, looking like he was about to be executed.
“Ready the car,” Radley ordered, glancing at the assistant.
“Where are we going. Mr. Monaghan?” Connor asked with some concern. Mr. Monaghan isn’t returning to his booze in Smalzot Yard, is he?
Radley’s eyes flickered as he looked at Chris on the side. “We’re going to the Trinity Club.”
Half a month passed in the blink of an eye, and to ignore the faint pain in her heart, Freya threw herself into researching her brother’s illness.
She conducted experiments remotely from home, resolving various issues encountered in the laboratory.
During another experiment, Freya successfully overcame the biggest challenge and transmitted the data to the research laboratory.
Now that Jolly was being taken care of by a few caregivers, Freya received many phone calls recently.
Edward sent his regards, Jamie invited her for a meal to thank her for helping with the job recommendation, and Ben asked her for Jean Birch’s contact information, wondering if she could start writing the sequel to Moonlit Journey now that Jean’s third child had been born.
Online, it was spreading that DiligentFrey had given birth to a baby, and people were starting to urge her to live stream. Even the funeral home called, saying they welcomed her return to work anytime.
Freya put all these things aside for now as the most important thing for her now was to cure her brother’s
illness.
It was already deep into winter, and in the coming spring, her brother and Isabella were going to hold their wedding.

She had to prioritize that.
Amid the daily busyness, Freya evaded the hidden pain in her heart, but in the late hours of the night, she kept having dreams about Radley.
The emotions from when she had just regained her memories were fading, while her memories of her time with Radley were becoming clearer.
It was like a balance: when her previous memories resurfaced, they overwhelmed the new ones. But now, she realized that those were distant memories.
Often, late at night, Freya would doubt whether she had made a mistake.
She had intended to tell Radley that the child in her belly was his that day at the night market in Vroria.
If the thug Ernie bribed hadn’t intervened, would her life be completely different now?
“You’ve done what you’ve done, don’t dwell on it!”
In Freya’s bedroom, after a busy day, she lay in bed and turned over.
After a while, she lay flat and stared at the ceiling.
Recently, Radley seemed to have disappeared from Caltun, but tensions within the Monaghan Group were escalating.
The Monaghans, however, remained silent.
People in Caltun were privately discussing how the Monaghan family’s numbers were already sparse. Perhaps due to Radley’s despondency, only Rosie and Hannah remained in the family, without the strength to contend with the shrewd individuals holding shares in Monaghan Group.
People in Caltun were secretly discussing it. The Monaghan family was already thin in terms of members, and perhaps because of Radley’s decadence, there were now only Rosie and Hannah left in the Monaghan family, with no power to compete with those old foxes who held a small stake in the Monaghan Group.
They had to play it safe.
As for why Radley suddenly became decadent, there were various versions of the story.
Freya thought about recent events in her mind and wondered where Radley could be now.
“Stop it!” Freya gritted her teeth. Why am I suddenly thinking about him again?
She had initially believed that busy times would gradually lessen her feelings, but it seemed that they only grew stronger.
Freya felt a little worried. After all, she was the reason for Radley’s recent behavior…
Either way, she wouldn’t sit idly by if someone really wanted to wrest the Monaghan Group from the Monaghans.
But for now, let those people fight among themselves. Dealing with a single dog in the end would be much casier than dealing with a whole pack.
The next day, Freya got out of bed with dark circles under her eyes.

She first went to check on her baby in his room. The few caregivers her mother had chosen were very capable, and Freya had checked thoroughly, their backgrounds were impeccable.
