Don't Mess with the Girl with Candy novel Chapter 396

Harold just remained silent.

"I'll step out for a moment," Lorelei said, putting down her violin and heading for the door.

As she passed Harold, he shifted slightly to the side to let her by. Lorelei's expression flickered for a second before she regained her composure, closing the door behind her without a word.

The room fell silent again.

"What did you want to ask, Harold?" Noemi poured him a cup of coffee, her face beaming with a gentle smile.

Harold took the cup and took a sip. "I recently met a doctor with superior medical skills. She might be able to help me recover my memories."

At his words, Noemi's hand trembled violently, and a flash of panic crossed her face.

"So, I need my personal records from before I was thirteen," Harold said, setting down his cup and looking intently at his mother, who was trying to feign composure.

"Records?" Noemi's eyes darted around, her smile strained. "Didn't I tell you, darling? When we moved, a lot of things went missing."

"Is that so?" Harold gave a faint, bitter smile. How could personal records just disappear during a move? And why had all the photos of him before the age of thirteen been wiped from the family archives?

"It's true," Noemi insisted, trying to maintain her calm. She quickly changed the subject, fearing she would slip up. "By the way, aren't you preparing for the medical association's membership election? If you become a member, your father will be so happy."

Happy? The word stung Harold. Growing up, his father had treated him like a tool to be molded. If he won a medical award, his father was pleased. If he made a mistake, he was met with a cold shoulder.
