Chapter 1648


    Chuckling slightly, Sean continued, “You do realize that the moment you reverse the hypnosis, Joyce


    will immediately be plunged into the pain and suffering that you caused her, right? I believe you''ve


    already epted the fact that you love her by now, haven''t you? Are you really willing for her to go


    through all that pain again?”


    Stanley narrowed his eyes. “That''s none of your business. You just need to tell me who that hypnotist


    is. The rest is none of your concern.”


    So what if he wasn''t willing?


    Compared to the reluctance he felt, he was more bothered by the fact that she would never remember


    him. That was not a reality that he was willing to ept.


    He had already gotten used to the deep emotions behind her eyes whenever she looked at him in the


    past. Hence, he could not ept the clear yet terrified gaze she gave him now that she could not


    remember who he was.


    The Joyce in the present was not the Joyce that he wanted.


    He had to make sure she returned to the way she was in the past, even if it meant plunging her into


    sorrow.


    However, he nned to erase the pain and never let her suffer again.


    Stanley was certain that he could seed.


    Even so, he did not voice out those thoughts.


    Not knowing what was crossing Stanley''s mind, Sean tutted when he heard Stanley''s answer. “You


    sure are cold-blooded, Mr. Quinn, to treat someone you im you love so badly that way. My heart


    goes out to Ms. Rivers.”


    Stanley scoffed in response. “What right do you have to point fingers at me? Do you think that you''re


    any better? Aren''t you hurting Natalie as well despite iming that you like her? You even n to lock


    her up to iste her from the rest of the world except you. You''re even more shameless than I am.”


    Sean''s expression turned icy for a brief second before a cynical half-smile appeared on his lips. “When


    ites to being shameless, Dr. Quinn, I believe I''m still no match for you. At least I have no ns to


    manipte Natalie. But you... You hated Ms. Rivers, and yet you kept brainwashing her for ten whole


    years, to the point Ms. Rivers cannot forget you nor let go of her feelings for you. That was the reason


    she was in so much pain. I say you''re crueler than I am.”


    “That''s enough!” Stanley growled. His expression darkened as he seethed.


    Sean merely smirked in response. “What''s wrong? Did I hit a sore spot? Are you mad that I exposed


    your deepest regret?”


    “Sean Thompson! I did not contact you to bicker about this.” Stanley tightened his grip on his phone.


    Putting his finger through the trigger guard, Sean spun the gun around his finger absent-mindedly.


    “Okay, okay. Fine. Since you don''t want to continue talking about this, we''ll drop the subject. Though I


    have to say, you''vee to the right person to seek the identity of the hypnotist.”


    “Spit it out. Who is it?” Stanley sat up straight and urged impatiently.


    Sean smiled. “I don''t mind telling you, but can''t you go straight to Shane for this matter? Yet here you


    are, asking for my assistance. Let me guess, Shane refused to tell you?”


    “Why do you ask if you know the answer?” Stanley answered with another question as he narrowed his


    eyes impatiently.


    Belongs to (N)?vel/Drama.Org.


    Laughter sounded on Sean''s end. “Fair enough. All right, I''ll stop asking. Truth be told, I''ll dly tell you


    who the hypnotist is. That way, when Joyce regains her memory, her dear friend Natalie will be


    anxious. Once Natalie is anxious, Shane would naturally ce more importance on whatever that''s


    troubling her. I''m actually looking forward to seeing them panic.”


    “If that''s the case, spit it out.” Stanley was getting on edge.


    The corners of Sean''s lips curved upward as he provided a name.


    A hint of surprise shed across Stanley''s eyes when he heard the name. “Him? Mr. Kohl?”


    Kohl was one of the top ten hypnotists in the world.


    Stanley could not believe that Joyce could find such an expert so easily.


    “That''s right. It''s Mr. Kohl.” Sean nodded in confirmation. “From what I''ve discovered, one of Mr. Kohl''s


    disciples opened a psychology clinic on the street that Joyce is living on. Mr. Kohl was there to inspect.


    On the day that Joyce went to the clinic, Mr. Kohl''s disciple was needed elsewhere, leaving only Mr.


    Kohl in the clinic. Just like that, Mr. Kohl hypnotized Joyce. After that, Shane moved Mr. Kohl


    elsewhere!”
