Free Web NovelChapter 644: You’re Deliberately Scaring Us
Zen and Wendy exchanged glances once again.
They had a bad feeling about this.
It was as if something untoward had happened, or was about to happen.
Indeed, the assistant looked toward Wendy and said, "The hypnotist has been found.
He is waiting outside now and can come in anytime."
Hypnotist?
This word clearly made Zen and Wendy freeze.
What did Christian get a hypnotist for? ƒrēewebnoѵёl.cσm
Christian noticed their expressions and deliberately explained, "The hypnotist is, of course, here to hypnotize you. He can make you forget all your memories, then hypnotize you and make you remember the memories that I want you to keep. Of course, these memories could be real, could be fake ones, introduced by the hypnotist."
Hearing Christian’s words, Wendy was taken aback.
She took a deep breath, blinked her eyes, and mustered the courage to speak, "You’re deliberately scaring us. Why would there be such a thing in the world?"
"Seems like although Ms. Stewart is a top designer, she has little knowledge about these things," Christian said. "But it’s normal that a person who lives in the light like Ms. Stewart doesn’t understand this kind of hypnosis."
Wendy tried to see gauge if Christian was joking, but there was no hint that he was.
Zen swallowed and said softly into Wendy’s ear, "I’ve heard that such things are like drugs and stuff. It’s basically to make someone forget certain memories, then listen to their commands.
"Previously, near my hometown, there was someone who was drugged and hypnotized, and it’s said that he gave all the money away but did not remember anything after that. It made a pretty huge fuss at that time. It had even made the news."
Zen’s words made Wendy even more hopeless.
She actually had heard of such a thing before as well.
However, she had never experienced it and had always thought that these stuff were just exaggerations.
She had never thought that Christian would actually think of such a thing.
Seeing Wendy’s horror, Christian couldn’t help but laugh.
Then, Christian waved his hand and instructed, "Bring him in!"
Quickly, the assistant brought two people in.
One was the hypnotist, and the other was his assistant.
The hypnotist held a box in his hand, with its contents visible to everyone.
"Mr. Lucas..." the hypnotist walked beside Christian and nodded to him.
"Introduce yourself," Christian said to the hypnotist as he looked at Wendy.
"I am Keith Walker. You can call me Keith. I am 47 years old, from Tactum City," the hypnotist said briefly.
This was not the introduction that Christian wanted to hear. He said again, "I want you to introduce what you do and how good you are at it."
Keith understood and raised his head slightly. "I don’t dare say that my hypnosis technique is the best in the world, but it’s also difficult to find a hypnotist better than me. I can perform hypnosis according to your requirements, to make the subject forget certain memories and introduce fake ones."
Keith’s words were about the same as what Christian had said previously.
"What are you doing?" Wendy looked at Christian and asked him, "What are you doing getting hypnotist?"
Wendy had actually guessed Christian’s motive.
...
"What do I want to do?" Christian laughed as he said, "I want you to forget Michael and fall in love with me!"
Christian had previously thought that with Wendy by his side, he would make her fall in love with him sooner or later.
It was a shame that Christian had overestimated himself.
Wendy’s hate for him probably would not vanish in this lifetime.
He did not know how much more time he had left. Almost every country’s government was looking for him after all.
Each day could be his last. He had to make it count.
Christian did not want to wait anymore.
He had only loved Wendy in this lifetime.
And she, being the one Christian loved, must love him back.
Even if it meant using such a lowly move.
"Dream on!" Wendy tried to put on a brave face but her voice trembled in fear.
She continued, "Christian, I told you before, and I’m gonna say it again, I won’t fall in love with you. Even if you hypnotize me, it will be impossible for me to fall in love with you."
"Really?" Christian’s expression became eerie. "That said, Ms. Stewart isn’t afraid of the hypnosis anyway. Let’s try it then."
Christian instructed the bodyguards behind him, "Bring her upstairs."
Seeing the bodyguards come near her, Wendy stepped backward, although she knew that she had no way of retaliating at all.
"If you don’t want them to use force against you... you might lose your child if they do... it’s best that you come with them without a fuss." Christian’s tone was calm yet threatening.
Wendy had no choice.
She gritted her teeth and glared at Christian, then went upstairs. Zen immediately followed Wendy. "Wendy..." Watching Wendy walk away, Zen reached out and dragged Christian’s arm as she pleaded, "Christian, you can’t do this."
"Do I need you to tell me what to do?" Christian swung his arm forcefully, and Zen fell to the floor.
Zen’s wound had not recovered yet. It started to bleed.
Watching Christian go upstairs, Zen endured the pain and immediately went after him.
When she was so in pain that she could not walk, Zen crawled on the cold floor.
When Zen reached the room, she saw that Wendy was already restrained on a chair.
Her hands were tied behind her back and the bodyguards were keeping watch.
Wendy struggled, but to no avail. ƒrēewebnovel.com
"Christian, did you really have to be so inhumane?" Wendy struggled.
"Is this your first day meeting me?" Christian said.
"If you want to hypnotize someone, hypnotize me, Christian. Hypnotize me..." Zen got up and knelt in front of Christian, pulling at his sleeve and pleading miserably, "I beg you, let Wendy go. She’s pregnant. Don’t torture her."
"Yeah, you’re still pregnant." Christian looked toward Wendy’s belly.
Her bump was still not obvious.
Zen’s words seemed to have reminded Christian about something. He looked at Wendy and said, "Wendy Stewart, I’m offering you to make a choice... abort the child in your belly or be hypnotized."
"Christian, I beg you. Come at me with whatever you want to do, okay? I’m begging you to let Wendy go..." Zen continued to plead.
It was a shame that Christian did not pay attention to her.
Christian glanced coldly at Zen and kicked her, saying, "What’s the rush for? You’ll have your turn."
...
Christian did not care whether Zen loved him or not.
However, if Zen was not hypnotized, she would definitely tell Wendy all the lies Christian would feed her.
If it triggered Wendy to remember, then it would be troublesome for Christian as well.
Hence, he intended to hypnotize Zen at the same time.
"Christian..." Just when Zen wanted to say something else, Christian called one of his bodyguards and said, "Bring her out."
Zen was forcefully brought out.
Once Zen was out, the room was quiet.
Christian looked at Wendy and asked, "So what’s your decision?"
Shutting her eyes, Wendy was didn’t speak for a while.
Christian seemed to be letting her choose, but he actually did not give her anything worthwhile to choose from.
Giving up her child was never an option.
Furthermore, even if Wendy had chosen to do so, Christian would still have her hypnotized.
Wendy’s best choice now was to be hypnotized.
As long as the child was safe and she was still alive, she still stood a chance.
Taking a deep breath, Wendy opened her eyes. She did not look at Christian as she said coldly, "Hypnosis."
Her answer made Christian very happy.
"Go ahead and start," Christian said to the hypnotist.
The hypnotist nodded, then opened the box and took out a few bottles of medicine.
Wendy watched as he mixed a few medicines, then put the mixture into a syringe.
Wendy’s heart was racing.
Wendy asked, "Would this harm the child?"
Wendy could not let the child be harmed.
The hypnotist hesitated for a bit and took a look at Christian. Seeing that Christian had nodded, the hypnotist said, "Honestly, I have never hypnotized pregnant women before, so I don’t know whether it will cause any harm... This concoction will affect your nervous system, causing a memory disorder in your brain. I think it will not affect the child much."
"I can accept the hypnosis, but if my child suffers any problem, I will not let you all go." Wendy knew too well that her threats meant nothing.
She was at Christian’s mercy.
Quickly, the syringe was injected into Wendy’s neck.
The pain made Wendy helpless and hopeless.
She used all her might to maintain a clear head, but as time passed, Wendy slowly went unconscious.
Then, Wendy felt that her eyelids were heavy.
In front of her was a blurry round-shaped object waving.
"Focus on my pearl. Don’t look anywhere else..." Wendy then followed the pearl’s movement.
"Tell me, who are you?" the hypnotist asked.
"Who... who am I?" Wendy heard the hypnotist’s words and was as if thinking carefully, "I’m Wendy Stewart."
"Yes, you’re Wendy Stewart," the hypnotist said. "Who is the person you love the most?"
"The person I love the most is..." Wendy said, "Mi-michael... Michael Lucas..."
Hearing Wendy’s answer made Christian clench his fists.
