    “You’re severing ties to protect your individual futures, right? ” Saul smiled.


    Vicky’s expression was aloof, and she remained silent.


    “Old Mister Hart and I go back a long way,” Saul remarked casually as he sipped his water. “I’ve been


    retired for many years now. I wouldn’t havee if that wasn’t the case.”


    Vicky was not particrly surprised by that.


    Saul continued, “This time, it took a significant price to persuade me… We made an agreement back


    then. After I conducted one hypnosis session for him, we’ll never have any contact again.”


    “For him?” Vicky finally regained her focus. “Old Mister Hart also underwent hypnosis?”


    Saul did not answer the question directly. Lost in reminiscence, a hint of mncholy emerged in his


    eyes. “In his younger days, he had a childhood friend he grew up with… Everyone thought they’d get


    married, and even he himself wished for that. That’s when the temptation of inheriting the Hart family


    hit him. You can’t have the best of both worlds. At the time, he was torn between the desire for


    inheriting the family legacy and marrying his childhood sweetheart… After all, he was still young back


    then, far from being as cold-hearted as he is now. His childhood friend, of course, understood his


    character and ambitions, so she


    suggested hypnosis herself. If he forgot about her, he’d be able to pursue his aspirations without


    hesitation. If he ended up regaining his memories after that, they could still be together.”


    Vicky’s interest was piqued and asked, “Did Old Mister Hart forget about his fiance in the end?”


    “He did.” Saul spoke candidly about Old Mister Hart’s romantic history with a hint of mockery. “How


    else could he have such a splendid life now?”


    “And what happened after that?”


    “After that?” Saul mused.


    “Did he ever regain his memories?”


    “I don’t know, but it doesn’t matter anymore. Since the day he chose to undergo hypnosis, he made his


    decision.”


    Vicky lowered her head, speechless.


    Saul dropped another bombshell. “His childhood sweetheart married me in the end, but…she had


    health issues and passed awayst year.”

    Vicky looked at Saul in shock. “She…ended up with you?”


    Saul smiled gently. “No one is irreceable. Though she loved him deeply back then, she was


    someone who could learn to let go. It took me five whole years, but I finally helped her move past her


    grief and won her over.”


    Old Mister Hart and his fiancee had a tragedy, but Saul managed to forge another story with her.


    Vicky began to understand Saul’s intention behind sharing this with her.


    Saul’s azure eyes studied her, carrying conflicting emotions and a strange kind ofpassion.


    “Old Mister Hart might be ruthless, but he made the choice that was right for him and got what he


    wanted; so did my wife. We all have to keep moving forward in life. I can tell that you still have feelings


    for him, but there are just so many paths in life that you can take. Just because you’re in love, doesn’t


    mean you’re meant to be together. Just move on. That’s the best option for the two of you.”


    Vicky soon received a call from Old Mister Hart, who learned that the hypnosis on Tyler was a sess.


    He delivered the divorce paper himself and expressed his admiration for Vicky. “You made the right


    choice. Leaving Tyler to me is far better than letting Avery have him.”


    She looked at the divorce paper and whispered, “Did…Tyler ask about this?”


    Old Mister Hart smiled. “Of course, he did. Anyone would feel strange to know that they’ve been


    married for years yet know nothing about their wives.”
