?Chapter 927:


    Freya’s presence might weaken his resolve, potentially reverting him to his former self. Having determined not to burden her further, he needed to maintain his course. Sometimes, the most profound farewells remained unspoken.


    “Let’s proceed,” Kristian dered, his expression resolute, carrying himself with the gravitas of a man willing to sacrifice everything. “Minimize all potential risks. I wish to spare her any further concern regarding my welfare.”


    Lawrence found his attitude perplexing yet acquiesced. “This way.”


    Kristian followed diligently, with Gerard trailing behind, apprehension evident about possibleplications. This time, Lawrence offered no resistance.


    Within the specialized medical chamber, Lawrence conducted meticulous examinations on Kristian to confirm optimal condition. Only after thorough verification did he instruct Kristian to don medical attire and position himself on the examination bed.


    Kristianplied with each directive without hesitation.


    Before administering the crucial injection, Lawrence paused momentarily and spoke with unexpected gentleness. “One final opportunity remains to contact Freya. Should you forgo this chance, awakening will return you entirely to your former self.”


    Lawrence understood that Kristian wasn’t merely a secondary personality. Nevertheless, since Kristian insisted on perceiving himself as such, Lawrence decided to amodate this belief for the time being.


    “No need,” Kristian dered firmly, dismissing the suggestion. After a heavy silence descended between them, Lawrence ventured cautiously, “Not even a simple farewell?”


    Kristian sealed his eyes shut, refusing to engage with the question.


    The prospect of bidding Freya goodbye face-to-face crushed his resolve. Rather than that, it was better this way.


    ???????? ???????? ???? ???????? ??????????ν??????[?]??????


    Lawrence struggled toprehend Kristian’s reasoning. Conflict flickered across his features as he attempted one final persuasion. “Are you absolutely certain you wish to leave without saying anything?”


    “One more word, and I’ll dismantle this entire facility,” Kristian snarled, his antipathy toward Lawrence zing through hisposed facade. “And obliterate you in the process.”


    He had barely managed to contain his turbulent feelings for Freya, yet Lawrence continued prodding at his vulnerable state. Didn’t this man realize how excruciating it was to restrain one’s deepest emotions?


    “Fine, I’ll stop it.” Lawrence recognized the futility of his efforts and exhaled a silent surrender. “Let’smence the procedure.” He administered the medication into Kristian’s system.


    Kristian’s awareness gradually blurred around the edges until darkness enveloped his consciousnesspletely.


    In those fleeting moments before oblivion imed him, Freya’s visage illuminated his fading thoughts.


    Lawrence guided Gerard from the room, securing the medical chamber behind them.


    Gerard peered through the expansive observation window, anxiety creeping into his usuallyposed demeanor. “Dr. Hayes, will these sophisticated instruments truly resurrect Mr. Shaw’s former memories?”


    “Indeed,” Lawrence confirmed.


    Beyond the technological apparatus, the recently administeredpound yed the crucial role. Since they soughtplete memory restoration, hypnotic techniques proved unnecessary.
