CHAPTER 97: CHAPTER 97: AS EXPECTED, IRRITABLE

Some things fade quickly, while others leave a deep impression. For example, the night you first met Vera Wave, you’d surely remember every detail. Because..." Andre Colin elegantly closed the folder in his hands, "emotions are the best remedy for deepening memories."

"Are you suggesting I should find a way to stimulate her to recover her memory? Is that feasible?"

"Actually, amnesia isn’t true forgetfulness, all our memories are in our brains." Andre tapped his temple with his finger, "Most of them are just dormant. What you need to do is awaken those dormant memories. But, to be on the safe side, you’d better bring her here, and I’ll perform a systematic check to see what exactly her brain’s condition is."

Kris Cooper nodded, "I’ll find a way to arrange for that. First, help me arrange a cardiac ward; I need to transfer a patient over. She just had heart surgery, her recovery is going well, but now there’s a tendency towards Alzheimer’s."

"Who?"

"Vera’s grandmother."

"Alright." Andre nodded, "Understood."

He reached out and pressed an intercom button, "Ruby, arrange a VIP cardiac ward and also arrange for an expert in treating Alzheimer’s to be available."

"Okay, Mr. Director."

Ruby responded respectfully over the phone.

Kris Cooper stood up, "Alright, I’ll go arrange the transfer now."

"Dinner together tonight?" Andre asked.

"Maybe another day, I have plans with Vera today."

Andre shrugged, "Remember to close the door for me."

Bam!

The door was slammed heavily.

Andre didn’t even raise his eyebrows, just shook his head gently.

"A frustrated man is indeed irritable!"

...

...

At the bank, in a senior office, Vera Wave was stopped outside the door by the manager’s assistant.

The assistant wore a polite smile, "Miss, you really can’t go in."

"I just called Uncle Robert; if you go in and tell him I’m Vera, he’ll understand." Vera smiled politely, "Please, I really have an urgent matter."

The assistant showed no inclination to compromise, "I’m sorry, Manager is very busy right now, could you make an appointment for another day?"

Vera glanced at the door not far away, nodded, turned and walked off to the side. After a few steps, she suddenly turned back and strode towards the manager’s office door.

"Miss!"

The assistant was too late when he caught up; she had already knocked on the office door.

"Come in!"

A man’s voice came from inside.

Vera smiled at the assistant and pushed open the door.

"Uncle Robert, sorry to bother you."

At the back of the office, Robert Taylor was playing a computer game, and when he looked up to see it was Vera, a flash of annoyance appeared in his eyes.

The assistant hurried to explain, "Manager, I told her you were busy, but Miss Wave barged in."

Vera smiled as she walked in, "I didn’t disturb you, did I?"

"Of course not!" Robert Taylor closed the game on his screen and stood up, "And shouldn’t you get Vera a cup of tea?"

"No need, no need, don’t bother." Vera quickly declined, "I’m not thirsty. I’m here this time for an urgent matter, otherwise, I definitely wouldn’t be so presumptuous to come looking for you."

Robert Taylor motioned for her to sit on the sofa, "I know, you’re here for that financial matter, right?"

"Yes." Vera nodded, "I have an urgent matter and need the money urgently, so... I want to get that money back; losing a bit of yield isn’t a problem."
