Pete opened the medical kit that he carried along and took out the tools that were necessary for
hypnosis.
“Ms. Catherine, can you hear me?”
His voice was as soft as the warm sunshine in spring and the warm waves of the ocean that embraced
her entire being.
“Ms. Catherine, you‘re now in a very special place. This is your territory. You can relax. Please open your
eyes and see what‘s around you.”
After he called out to her repeatedly, Catherine slowly opened her eyes.
Standing at the side, Adina was startled as she stared at Catherine cautiously.
However, she soon found that Catherine‘s gaze was inactive. She was clearly being manipulated.
“From now on, please keep your breathing relaxed. Breath together with me. Inhale... Now, you‘re back
to when you were eighteen years old. You meet a guy. He‘s a very handsome man. You fall in love at first
sight. You take him to see your parents, and your parents arrange a wedding date for you. I‘d like to ask,
what do you usually call your fiance?”
Catherine moved her lips but did not speak.
Pete was not in a hurry. He knew that it was difficult for people with strong minds to be guided by a
hypnotist.
He resumed. “Your fiance loves you very much. He loves to call you ‘Catherine‘ or ‘Dear.‘What about
you? What do you call him? He‘s right next to you now. He wants you to say his name so that he knows
you‘re always there for him.”
“Earl...”
Catherine slowly moved her lips and uttered the word.
Adina was completely stunned.
Earl...
Earl Winters...
Duke‘s twin brother...
It was true. It really happened...
She pinched her fingers and took a deep breath before she quickly wrote down a sentence and handed it
to Pete.
Pete cast a glance before he continued to guide Catherine.” Your fiance loves to hear you call him ‘Earl,‘
but your fiance has a brother named Duke. Do you know Duke?”
“Yes,” Catherine answered dully.
“Duke is your fiance‘s younger brother. He gives you the most sincere wedding blessings. But just as
your wedding is about to start, Duke suddenly goes missing. Ms. Catherine, do you know where Duke
has gone?”
“He‘s dead.”
Pete‘s expression suddenly changed. He turned around and
looked at Adina.
Adina held her breath for a moment too before she wrote down another sentence and handed it over.
“Ms. Catherine, who did you say was dead?” Pete slowly asked.” Are you sure he‘s dead? Do you know
how he died?”
Catherine‘s pupils suddenly moved.
Pete immediately took out a watch and swung it in front of her eyes. Only then did Catherine fall into
deep hypnosis again.
“Duke Winters is dead,” Catherine answered in a mechanical and sluggish fashion. “A month ago, he
was sent out of the country, and he died in a hail of bullets. He died without a trace.”
“That‘s impossible!” Adina yelled uncontrollably before she immediately suppressed her anger and
sadness.
She tried to calm down and slowly say, “Pete, is she not hypnotized at all? Is she lying?”
Pete shook his head and lowered his voice. “She really is hypnotized. She shouldn‘t be lying. At least
from her cognitive point of view, everything she says is true.”
“No... that‘s impossible.”
Adina‘s tense mind was instantly shattered.
How could Duke die? He could not have died. He was a tough man. How could he die for no reason?
Her complexion was completely pale. She sat on the bed weakly while she stared ahead with a blank
expression.
