“I was possessed, that’s why I killed you. I had never intended to do that,” Samuel stepped back to the corner and squatted on the ground. He was trembling.


    “I’m so cold and I miss my family. I can’t see my surroundings clearly. Where did you bury me?” Ste asked.


    Samuel kept his head low and put his arms around himself.


    Ste walked up to Samuel, cing her hand on his shoulder.


    Samuel’s body was tremblingas he looked at Ste, his eyes filledwith fear.


    “If I can’t find my way home, then I could only follow you.”


    “No, please don’t follow me,” Samuel dared not look into Ste’s eyes as he shrank into a corner.


    “Sir, where is my father, Darren? I want to take him home,” Ste asked.


    Samuel looked at Ste and he seemed to have seen hope. “He’s in Golden Sand Forest.I buried him under the ground. But, I am not sure where I buried him.”


    Ste got up and looked at the helpless Samuel. She ignored himand went to open the door. Sean and his men were waiting outside.


    “Darren’s body is in the Golden Sand Forest. The forest is very big, so your men might need to check it out,” Ste said.


    Sean instructed his men immediately,then he looked at Ste in surprise. “Is this hypnosis? It feels so magical. Samuel looks as though he is scared out of his wits. Did he think that you were Darren?”


    “It’s not that interesting. The drug I gave you before was a hallucinogen. Samuel will have hallucinations after consuming the drug. I only entered his mind and guided him ordingly,” Ste exined.


    Sean roughly knew that many who consumed drugs would end up having unimaginable hallucinations. “If this method is considered illegal, does that mean it can’t be used as evidence?”


    “Nowadays, hypnosis has be a popr method among the authorities internationally, and many of themhave hired masters hypnotists to cooperate with them. But, hypnosis is useless against people with strong willpower or people with no weaknesses. Moreover, this type of hallucinogen could cause irreparable damage to the nerves. He might not be able to recover from the side effects.”


    “What kind of side effects?” Sean asked.


    “If you can’te out of your hypnotized world, you will start getting mental diseases. You will be paranoid, and you will be hysterical and many more. Also, the levels of the hypnotists are inconsistent and some people might even take advantage of such a situation. Therefore, this method should only be used in extreme cases. Some people might even call it hical,” Ste smiled.


    Sean understood. “Alright, go and eat then. It must be hard for you.”


    “Since the matter is already settled, then I’m not going to stay for the meal. I’m not particrly interested in entertaining those officials. I would rather eat at home, where I am freeto do as I wish,” Ste refused.


    “Alright, should I inform Bemy then? He is eating right now.”


    Ste shook her head. “I want to go back for a rest.”


    “Okay then. After all, you’re still going shopping with Eliter at night. Thank you for your hard work,I will ask someone to send you off.”


    Ste nodded and walked out of the door. Elvis was waiting in the car.


    “Let’s go back to the vi,” Ste said softly. She leaned back against the chair and closed her eyes for a nap.


    She soon fell asleep in the car.


    Elvis thought of letting her rest through the journey. He finally reached the vi an hourter, but Ste had yet to open her eyes.


    “Mrs. Milton, we are here,” Elvis said softly.


    Ste was still sleeping.


    He then nudged Ste.


    Ste opened her eyeszily.


    “Mrs. Milton, we’re here. Sleeping in the car is bad for your neck,” Elvis said with concern.


    “Got it,” Ste got out of the car calmly and looked back at Elvis. “Let’s eat together.”


    “Sure, Mrs. Milton.”


    Ste pushed the door open and entered the mansion. Suzi was not at home. She entered the kitchen and saw thatSuzi had prepared several dishes,so she heated them up.


    “Let me do it, Mrs. Milton. You should rest more. I will call you when it’s ready,” Elvis said respectfully.


    Ste smiled slightly. “I had a quick nap in the car just now, soI am not tired anymore. Heating this up shouldn’t take long. By the way, have you discussed the meals of the soldiers with Bemy?”


    “Mr. Chuck said that we are safe for the time being and that we should continue to do our jobs as usual. His men will prepare our meals in the future. Speaking of, why hasn’t he arrived yet?” Elvis looked around.


    “Maybe he wille over at night,” As soon as Ste said that, she received a phone call from Bemy.


    She answered it calmly.


    “Where are you? We’re almost done with the meal but I haven’t even seen you,” Bemy asked with concern.


    “I’m already home. Samuel has already told me where he buried Darren. After this, he will be punished by thew.”


    “Okay, I’ming back now.”


    “Bemy,I already have ns with Eli to go shopping at night,” Ste said gently.


    “Sure, ask Elvis to send someone to protect you secretly. It’s better safe than sorry.”


    “Okay,” Ste replied indifferently.


    She went to grade the test papers after the meal. She wanted to finish grading all the papers over the next few days as a final favor for Jasper.


    Eli called at 5 p. m., “Ste, where are you? Come and have dinner with us. Sean has a visitor today, so he said that I could stay over at yours. Ah, freedom is mine today. Let’s go.”


    “Sure, give me the address,I will head over now. My ce is kind of far, so you’ll have to wait for me for a while,” Ste said as she got up and walked outside.


    “Do you still remember the seafood restaurant I introduced you to?” Eli asked thoughtfully.


    “If you want to eat fish, you could juste to my house. I will go fishing now andI should be able to catch a fish or two in an hour. The fish in theke are very fresh,” Ste suggested.


    “Okay, that’s a great idea. I’lle over to your ce now then. Wait for me,” Eli hung up the phone in a hurry.


    When Ste went out and found that it was getting dark,she quickly asked Elvis to dig a hole in the surface of the icyke.


    She took her fishing gears and was ready to go to theke. Bemy got out of his car and asked, “Are you going to fish now?”


    “Yes, Eli ising overter,and she wants to eat fish. I might have enough time to catch a fish,” Ste said.? 2024 N?v/el/Dram/a.Org.


    Bemy took the fishing gears from her hand and said, “It’s too cold outside. Wait for me inside. I’ll do it instead.”


    “I’ll go with you. I need some fresh air right now too.”


    “You should put on a jacket then.”


    “Sure, okay,” Ste took a jacket and told Suzi, who was busy in the kitchen, “Mom, Eli will be staying over today. She wants to eat fish. Shall we have some grilled fish for dinner?”


    “Sure thing,” Suzi replied cheerily.


    Ste followed Bemy out and asked, “How is Samuel doing?”


    “He’s been locked up, but his mental state isn’t too good. He kept saying that Darren is right in front of him,” Bemy frowned and said.


    “I hypnotized him, but I didn’t free him from it.”


    Bemy looked at her in surprise. “Will he always be like this from now on?”


    “He will be fine oncethe effects of the drug wear off. Otherwise, he will be fine once he wakes up,” Ste said calmly. All of a sudden, she seemed to have thought of something.
