As Cynthia looked at him, her mood grew heavy. Judging by Joshua’s current behavior, his personality was becoming somewhat obsessive. Without proper guidance, it might only worsen. It would be a relief if his memory recovered quickly. After all, the old Joshua would not have acted this way. However, as things stood now, Joshua had absolutely no memory of his past, and recovery could only come with time.
“Cynthia… Do you think I’m a bad kid?” Joshua began, holding Cynthia’s hand with a melancholic and guilty look.
Yes, was Cynthia’s initial response. However, considering her recent behavior toward him, she realized that some of the blame was indeed on her. He was only a child who had lost his memory and regressed mentally, she should have shown more

“As long as you recognize and rectify your mistakes, you won’t be a bad kid. However, if you continue behaving this way, you will be,” Cynthia declared in a slow, measured voice.
“Do you still want me?”
“Will you send me away?”
“No.”
Hearing these words, Joshua finally felt some relief. He sat up on the bed, wrapped his arms around Cynthia’s arm, and cooed like a child. “Cynthia, I’ll be good from now on. I won’t lie or deceive
anymore.”
“Good,” Cynthia replied, noticing the inflamed spot where his IV had been, and decided to take care of it. After setting up the drip again, she asked him to rest until he had recovered enough to apologize to Matthew. Joshua obediently agreed.
Cynthia found all of Joshua’s reactions and actions incredibly natural, so much so that she failed to notice anything amiss. She attributed it to a personality distortion or deviation caused by a lack of affection.
When Matthew saw her coming out, he rose to his feet and asked, “How did it go?”
“It seems that my recent indifference toward him has led to a personality deviation. He’s realized his mistakes. Once he’s feeling better, he’ll apologize to you,” Cynthia explained to Matthew.
“Is that all?” Matthew seemed somewhat surprised Was Joshua’s acting really that convincing?
Cynthia simply nodded in agreement.
Upon learning that they would not be visiting Sean today, Matthew did not linger. After informing Cynthia that he would prepare lunch, he left for the time being.
Once he had returned to the room next door, he made a series of phone calls.
On the other end of the line, the person who answered the call was overjoyed. The pitch of his voice even rose a few notches.” Young master! You finally contacted me! Are you planning to come back and take over the family business?”
They had been waiting for this for a long time. Patience truly reaps rewards.
“No,” Matthew replied. Secretary Yunis Ricky felt a mental crash at this.
“No?”
“Investigate the life of Joshua from the Neal Group for me, focusing on his personality. Also, investigate what kind of research Sean has been involved with recently,” Matthew requested, lounging casually on the couch, his voice steady and unhurried.
Both Cynthia and Jiminy could find parts of this information. However, in some cases, learning directly from people is more accurate and authentic than relying on computers. After all, what they could find on the internet was often just static data.
“Why are you inquiring about these matters?” Yunis asked, filled with curiosity.

“I am testing your capabilities to see whether or not you are fit for the role of a secretary,” Matthew responded, his tactics far from straightforward.
Upon hearing this, Secretary Yunis perked up. His voice was laced with both excitement and a hint of trepidation as he asked, Really?
“Hmm,” Matthew responded, the depth of his meaning apparent in his voice.
“Give me no more than seven days, and I promise to deliver the information you need,” Yunis replied quickly, brimming with energy.
Matthew hummed in acknowledgment. Just as he was about to end the call, Yunis, unable to resist gossiping, called out,” Young Master.”
