Chapter 20-3


    Danielle shared her analysis calmly with her brothers. "The person who hypnotized our grandparents must have been incredibly skilled. We should first increase our surveince on this ward. If the mastermind sees that their condition has stabilized, they will surely make a move."


    "I’m going to look for a hypnotist who can undo this," Xavier said as he took his phone out and began to search his contacts.


    Danielle was quick to stop him. "That’s not necessary yet. I’ve already weakened the hypnosis they’re under. Once we find out who the culprit is, I’ll release them from the hypnosispletely."


    "You’re even skilled at hypnosis? That’s amazing," the brothers murmured as they realized how knowledgable and formidable their younger sister had be. They began to feel somewhat ashamed of themselves.


    "Just a little," Danielle replied honestly, but she was on the verge of having her identity revealed.


    The Darling brothers believed wholeheartedly in Danielle shared her analysis calmly with her brothers. "The person who hypnotized our grandparents must have been incredibly skilled.

    "Just a little," Danielle replied honestly, but she was on the verge of having her identity revealed.


    The Darling brothers believed wholeheartedly in what Danielle was telling them, and seeing how rationally she dealt with the situation, they could hardly imagine what kind of difficulties she had endured over the years.


    Joseph instructed his brothers, "Let’s keep this matter under wraps for now. Don’t tell anyone, even our parents."


    The attending doctor had just finished surgery and rushed over when he heard that the Darlings hade to visit. He hurried into the ward and greeted them all respectfully.


    "Dr. Hawkins. It’s good to see you," Danielle said politely. Then, she got down to business. "It’s just as well that you’re here. That saves me a trip. I’ve prescribed some medication for these two patients. Please follow this prescription from now on."


    Just then, Howard, Vivian, and Audrey walked into the ward, catching Danielle just as she was handing the doctor the new prescription.


    Audrey immediately rushed over, her voice frantic. "Danielle, I get that you somehow managed to help Logan, but you can’t keep taking these kinds of risks with Alice and Caleb! They’re barely hanging on as it is, and they can’t take any more suffering."


    She paused for a breath, but before Danielle could respond, Audrey went on, her tone dripping with self-righteousness. "Even though you haven’t been around, they still talk about you all the time. It’s clear they love you to pieces. But I won’t let you hurt them like this. I can’t!"


    Danielle stared at Audrey, utterly bewildered. ’Is she seriously using me of trying to harm the two elders? Has Audreypletely lost it?’ she wondered.
