Chapter 1085 Jamie Is Dull

"It's all Gale's fault. It seems that he has no conscience left. If Jamie is left with any health problems, I'll break his arms when I see him again. Let's see how he'll cause trouble again!"

Gale had escaped from Narissa twice in the past. As such, she was determined to capture him the next time she dealt with him.

When Zephyr saw how she was concerned about Jamie, he thought of something and put on a bitter smile.

"Take it and wipe your face." Maisie held out a wet towel for him.

Zephyr took it with a smile. "I'm indeed tired. You treat me so well, my dear sister."

Although he was speaking to Maisie, Narissa felt as though the man hinted that she treated him badly. Therefore, she cocked her head and glanced at him.

Zephyr arched his brow and ignored her before pushing Maisie forward. "Since there's nothing else to do, let's go home."

Narissa remained in the same spot for a while before leaving as well.

The next day, she only woke up when it was almost noon. When she finished washing up, she went downstairs and heard someone knocking on the door from outside.

Hence, she ambled forward with a cup of coffee and opened the door, only to see Raymond standing on the porch.

"Good morning," Narissa greeted.

Raymond was torn between tears and laughter. It's 11.00AM now. Did she just wake up or something?

"Mr. Keller is awake. Do you want to visit him?" he asked.

"I guess he's fine, then. I'm not going over." Narissa wasn't ready to face him, so she decided not to see him.

Although she didn't want to admit it, Zephyr was indeed a reliable doctor.

"I think you'd better have a look at him. His condition is special." Raymond appeared hesitant.

Seeing how mysterious the man was, Narissa grew curious. As such, she left the place with him. After entering Jamie's house, they went upstairs and saw Zephyr leaning against the wall with a solemn expression.

Narissa asked doubtfully, "Isn't he awake? Why do you look concerned?"

"See it for yourself." Zephyr stepped aside.

A puzzled Narissa shuffled forward and opened the door.

The moment she entered the room, she was shocked by what she saw.

Jamie was usually a handsome and athletic man, but at this moment, his head was bandaged, and he was clad in a patient's gown with a towel around his neck. Presently, he was seated on the floor and fiddling with beautifully crafted racing car models.

He held one in his hand and moved it back and forth on the floor. Then, he clapped his hands, looking as excited as a child. "Yay! I've won!"

Noticing their presence, he turned to look in the doorway. The moment he saw Narissa, his eyes brightened.

"Miss Beautiful!"

Before Narissa came to her senses, Jamie got to his feet quickly and charged forward. Then, he took her hand and acted adorably. "Miss Beautiful, please play with me!"

"What are you doing, Jamie?" Narissa hunched her back. "I'm warning you. Go away."

"No!" Jamie rested his head on the woman's shoulder, refusing to release her.

"If you don't let go, I'll smack you." Narissa lifted her hand and threatened him with a furious expression. "I'll count to three!"

A moment later, she pretended to strike Jamie, who leaped away in shock and hung his head low. His pouted lips showed how aggrieved he was.

Narissa's heart softened as she retracted her hand. She turned to look at Zephyr and asked, "What's going on?"

"He must've injured his brain when he fell off the cliff back then, and his condition was exacerbated after he hurt himself for the second time. The damage in his brain has caused him cognitive dysfunction," Zephyr explained solemnly.

"Can you make it simpler?" Narissa was puzzled.

"His IQ is no different from that of a four-year-old child. In other words, he's mentally handicapped."

"You mean Jamie is dull?"

Narissa was shocked by the news. He's become dull-witted after crashing into a column. That's inconceivable.

However, when she saw how Jamie aggrievedly bit his lip and sniffled, she had no choice but to accept the fact that he was slow-witted.

It was indeed awkward to see a grown man behaving like a child. The sight was giving her goosebumps. She then asked, "How long will he take to recover?"

"Given his condition, his brain must be badly injured. It's almost incurable. I can only help him so much with medicine. As for whether he'll recover, we'll have to keep observing him. There's nothing much I can do," Zephyr said regretfully.

Narissa frowned. "Are there no other solutions?"

"Why don't we take a drastic measure by crashing his head into something hard again?"

"I think you just want to kill him."

"You asked, I answered. That's just an immature idea. It's not like I'm going to do that to him. Why are you mad?"

Both of them seemed to be furious, but this time, they tacitly stopped provoking each other and fell silent. Like a child who had made a mistake, Jamie kept stealing glances at Narissa. When he saw the woman looking at him, he immediately lowered his head.

Wherever she went, he would follow her and take a look at her before giggling like a fool.

Narissa frowned. "What should we do, then? Do we hire someone to take care of him?"

"We'll only put those carrying out their missions outside at risk by letting any stranger approach us. No one in the world is more reliable than you, his fiancée."

"I'm no longer his fiancée," Narissa refuted impassively.

Hearing that, Zephyr stared fixedly at her. A moment later, he pocketed his gaze without asking her what had happened between them. "Contact his family members, then."

With that, he turned around and left the room.

Just as Narissa was ready to leave, she felt someone pulling her clothes.

When she turned around, she saw Jamie clenching the hem of her clothes.

"Miss Beautiful, I'm terrified. Can you not go?" Jamie looked longingly at her. Tears welled up in his beautiful eyes, which could easily arouse anyone's pity.

Narissa furrowed her brows and snapped, "Stop touching me."

Jamie was afraid because of what had happened earlier, but he still obstinately grasped her clothes. "I don't want to be alone. I want you to stay with me, Miss Beautiful."

Then, he started sobbing.

"Alright, alright." Narissa couldn't take it when a child cried. Despite her frustration, she could only make a concession. "I'll take you with me. Now, move your hand away from me. Otherwise, you'll stay here on your own. I mean what I say!"

Jamie immediately retracted his hand and beamed at her with excitement. "I'm a good boy. Please take me with you!"

Narissa placed her palm on her forehead. "Let's go."

…

It took them an entire night to arrive at their destination. When Elise got out of the car, she saw a Baroque-style and majestic castle.

Emily led them to pass through the gate and walk on the citadel.

Since they were on high ground, Elise could observe the surroundings with ease. As she moved forward, she tried to look further into the distance.

When they passed through a plaza, Elise saw dozens of kids, who were about seven or eight years old.

Emily stopped in her tracks just then and said, "Since you're here, why don't you take a look at the Triune's cultural festival?"
