As time ticked away, her eyelids felt heavier and heavier, and finally fell shut.
As he saw that she had been successfully hypnotized, he bent over to get closer to her face and was
ready to guide her to find the erased memories when someone barged into the room.
Shane and Jackson immediately rushed inside.
Upon seeing that the two were so close to each other, Shane’s pupil constricted in shock, and the next
second, a wave of rage engulfed him entirely. “Stanley Quinn! How dare you!”
Without a second thought, he charged toward Stanley and threw a punch at him.
Stanley sidestepped him calmly and flashed him a smile. “Mr. Shane, I’m not the man I used to be
anymore. Do you think you can beat me up easily?”
Shane pursed his lips in annoyance and glowered at him silently before asking Jackson to check on
Natalie.
Jackson snapped out of his daze and immediately hurried to her, his heart racing.
Oh my gosh. Luckily, we got here in time!
Otherwise, Stanley would have gotten his own way.
I didn’t expect him to be so shameless. How could he take advantage of Natalie when she’s asleep?
And Natalie, too. Why is she here? She knows Stanley is a lunatic, and yet, she dares to come and nap
in his office.
How could she be so careless!
“Hey, wake up,” Jackson called, nudging her gently.
Still, there was no sign of her waking up.
Realizing that something was off, he furrowed his brows deeply and looked toward Stanley with a stern
look. “Did you drug her?”
Upon hearing that, Shane’s gaze darkened instantly.
On the other hand, Stanley was still as cool as a cucumber. He took out his glasses, put them on
unhurriedly, and answered, “Do you think I need to rely on medication to render her unconscious?”
Taken aback, Jackson went silent for a while as he suddenly remembered that neurology was not the
only branch of medicine he majored in. “Did you hypnotize her?”
Stanley merely smiled in response, not denying his statement.
Realizing that he did hypnotize her, Shane gritted his teeth. “You…”
But before he could finish his sentence, Stanley interrupted, “Mr. Shane, instead of asking the reason I
did so, I think you should ask me why she is here.” Shane frowned.
Jackson nodded in agreement. “Shane, he’s right. There must be a reason why Natalie pays him a
visit. Otherwise, given his previous misdeed, I don’t think she’ll come to catch up with him.”
As he spoke, he suddenly caught sight of the CT film on Stanley’s desk, and his expression changed
instantly. He immediately went over and picked it up. “She’s here for a brain examination?”
Shane froze.
Brain examination?
Is she…
Feeling a sense of panic, he whirled around and looked toward Natalie worriedly.
Meanwhile, Jackson scanned the film. Needless to say, he was a surgeon, and he knew how to read
CT brain films.
A minute later, he blinked in confusion. “But she seems fine.”
“Are you sure?” Shane turned to him.
“Absolutely.” Jackson put down the film and looked at Stanley. “What’s the point of hypnotizing her
then?”
Stanley’s lips curled into a cryptic smile. “Who knows?”
Knowing that he probably would not give them a definite answer, Jackson rolled his eyes and said,
“Fine. I won’t probe anymore. Anyway, you should get her out of hypnosis now.”
“Chill. She’ll wake up within an hour.” Stanley shrugged. “If you guys don’t believe me, feel free to take
her to another psychiatrist.”
After that, he returned to his desk and sat down.
“Just so you know, I won’t let this slide.” Shane shot him a cold look before carrying Natalie out.
