Chapter 1485 Hypnosis


    A moment of opportunity was right in front of Jonas and his eyes shed with determination. He slightly


    pursed his lips and then raised his head to meet Emily''s gaze. Then, he pleaded with her. "I won''t take


    up too much of your time since you seem quite busy. But please, just take this gift that I prepared for


    you. I''ll leave as soon as you take it."


    Half an hourter, someone lightly knocked on Emily''s door.


    It was Taylor paying her a visit. When she was met with no response, she slowly opened the door. To


    her surprise, she saw a man with his back turned, sitting on the sofa. The man could be heard gently


    whispering some words while holding a pocket watch in front of Emily.


    It was Jonas. As soon as he realized that the door was opened, he stopped everything that he was


    doing. Taylor''s confused gaze unexpectedly met Jonas''s frightening one. Without hesitation, Taylor


    shouted, "What are you doing here? Get out!"


    Taylor knew something wasn''t right. She rushed over to Emily''s side and saw her lying still on the sofa


    with her eyes closed. When Taylor looked around, she saw some lit incense on the tea table and the


    pocket watch in the man''s hand. At that moment, she knew exactly what he was doing to her.


    He was hypnotizing Emily!


    "Stop!" Taylor fiercely eximed while covering her nose to prevent herself from inhaling the fumes


    from the incense. Jonas seemed unfazed, so she kicked his wrist to prevent any further damage to


    Emily. The moment the watch fell on the ground, she opened her mouth and yelled, "Help! Help!


    There''s a pervert over here!"


    Jonas knew he needed to get away that instant. He endured the pain in his wrist and rushed over to


    pick up his watch. Taylor couldn''t let this man have another chance at messing with Emily, so she


    kicked the watch, and it slid under the sofa.


    She reached out to grab Jonas''s bandaged arm in hope of restraining him, but the man was able to


    dodge her grasp. The look on Jonas''s face at that moment was terrifying. He waspletely


    disgruntled and even shouted back at Taylor. "Go to hell!"


    A person who had heard Taylor''s plea for help rushed over and said, "Is he here?


    Were you the one who called for help? The sound came from this area."


    Taylor took Emily behind the sofa to protect her. When she saw the man at the door, she shouted again


    with all her might. "Help! Help! This man tried to grope me!"


    All of a sudden, the sound of footsteps from arge crowd was approaching the door. Upon realizing


    that it was impossible to do what he had intended, Jonas ran towards the window to escape. But before


    he jumped out, he threatened them. "This isn''t over! Both of you will pay for this! Just wait and see!"


    As soon as the man''s figure disappeared from sight, Taylor heard a loud thump outside, like the sound


    of something heavy falling to the ground.


    In Taylor''s mind, Jonas''s threat was the least of her worries. The only thing she was concerned about


    at that moment was Emily''s condition.


    The people who had rushed over to help forced the door to open. Several of them just curiously stood


    outside and chatted with each other. Then, someone asked, "What happened? Are you okay?"


    After carrying Emily to the sofa, Taylor went outside the office and exined what had happened.


    Then, she pleaded with everyone to go out and look for Jonas. "The culprit jumped down from the


    window just now. He shouldn''t have made it far. Please get him. Thank you."


    "Don''t worry. We''ll take care of it!"


    "I can''t believe someone would do this to these innocent women! What a scumbag!"


    Everyone was utterly pissed. They all had it in their minds that Taylor had really encountered a pervert.


    The group of people who hade to help all left in a hurry.


    After sending them away, Taylor immediately turned around to check on Emily''s condition. She was out


    of Jonas''s control, but her eyes were still closed. Her beautiful eyebrows were furrowed in anguish, like


    she was having a horrifying nightmare.


    Taylor knew that she had to wake Emily up as soon as possible, since it was the only way to know if


    she was fine. Interrupting a hypnosis session was very dangerous, but the consequences would''ve


    been far more severe if she hadn''t stopped Jonas, given that he seemed to be doing it to Emily with ill


    intentions.


    "Emily, I need you to wake up!" Taylor shook her back and forth, but there was no response. She tried


    whispering something in her ear that might wake her up.


    After some time, Emily finally opened her eyes. Tears started pouring out of her eyes, and she


    screamed from the pain she felt in her heart.


    What Jonas had wanted, unfortunately, happened. Her negative emotions had been sessfully


    incited and had caused her mental state to worsen. The expression on Emily''s face could only be


    described as a look of helplessness.


    Meanwhile, Jonas was still on the run from his pursuers.


    After jumping out of the window, he quickly untied the bandages on his hand. The injuries he had


    suffered some time ago werepletely healed. His pitiful getup was just a way to deceive Emily.


    He nimbly avoided the surveince cameras along the way. Hepletely knew where the blind spots


    were along the road. Not long after, he jumped into a minibus that had already been waiting for him


    near the exit.


    Regrettably, those who rushed downstairs to chase this man were destined to return empty-handed.


    After going around for quite some time, the minibus finally stopped at a residential area. Jonas, who


    was wearing a peaked cap and a mask, stepped out of the car and entered a tall building. He entered


    an elevator and arrived at his destination shortly after. Once he was there, he saw a man sitting on a


    leather chair with his back turned.


    The mysterious man was dressed in all ck and a chilling atmosphere surrounded him. It was none


    other than Darren!


    Jonas felt anxious and spoke in a meek manner. "Sorry, I failed."


    "You idiot! You''re such a waste of my time!" Darren was utterly furious. As a result, he threw the ashtray


    towards the entrance, and it hit Jonas right on the forehead. "You''re good for nothing! How did you fail


    to fulfill such an easy task? What was even the point in raising you?"


    Jonas was disappointed in himself. That was why he didn''t dare to dodge the ashtray even if he could


    have. The blood trickled down from his forehead and dyed his eyes red. The extreme pain he felt at


    that moment hindered his ability to speak. "Please give me...one more chance. I promise you...I...won''t


    fail the next time!"


    Meanwhile, Taylor could only worry about Emily at that moment. The hypnosis had caused thetter to


    be erratic and extremely hard to approach. Her emotions were inplete disarray, which made it


    almost impossible for her to calm down.

    "Don''t touch me!" Emily yelled. She looked at Taylor as if she was a monster. Taylor could easily tell


    that Emily was in deep pain just by looking at her eyes.


    Seeing her like this broke Taylor''s heart into pieces. The hatred she felt for Jonas grew exponentially


    with every second that passed by.


    She didn''t know what would''ve happened if she hadn''te there in time.


    "Emily, it''s me, Taylor. Look at my face. I''m your friend, remember? You don''t have to be afraid."


    Since Taylor was sure that Emily had been sessfully put under Jonas''s spell, she had no choice but


    to hypnotize her again. In her eyes, it might be the only way to bring Emily back to normal.


    Taylor immediately started treating Emily. It was saddening to think that this had happened right after


    Emily recovered from depression. All the hard work that they had gone through might be all for nothing.


    At the thought of this, Taylor felt like a knife went straight through her heart. But she knew there was no


    time to feel sad. What she needed to do now was to focus on Emily''s recovery. Everything else could


    be discussedter!


    Half an hour passed. Taylor''s treatment managed to work.


    Emily gradually calmed down, while Taylor was sweating all over her forehead. However, she couldn''t


    take it easy since Emily''s state was still too unpredictable.


    Taylor needed to do everything she could to prevent anyplications from happening in the future.


    Upon noticing that Emily''s eyes gradually returned to normal, Taylor let out a sigh of relief. There were


    no more traces of anxiety or restlessness in her eyes.


    "What? Dr. Tang, when did youe here?"


    As expected, Emily was shocked to see Taylor there. In her mind, thest thing she remembered was


    Jonas''s arrival.


    "Where''s Jonas?"


    Emily asked since she didn''t see him around anymore. However, she soon remembered what Jonas


    had just done to her, and her eyes darkened. This time, he had really gone too far.


    Because of his hypnosis, she had nearly... At the thought of this, Emily clenched her fists in anger. She


    regretted ever trusting that man.


    "Fortunately for you, Emily, I came here in the nick of time. If I hadn''t, the consequences would''ve been


    unimaginable."


    Upon hearing what she said, Emily held Taylor''s hand and felt very grateful.


    She was now fully aware of Jonas''s true nature. It turned out that Jacob had been right all along. She


    felt a little guilty for not having listened to her husband sooner.


    "Taylor, I have to tell Jacob what just happened. He knew from the start that Jonas was a dangerous


    man, but I..."


    Emily stopped herself from speaking. The remorse she felt made it hard to do so. Taylor saw this and


    held her hand tightly tofort her. She then said, "I''m sure Jacob won''t me you for all of this! You


    don''t have to worry about anything, Emily."


    "Really?" Emily replied in a hopeful tone.


    Taylor quickly nodded in response. With everything that had been said, Emily still asked Taylor toe


    with her. After all, she was still unsure how Jacob would react.


    In a situation like this, Taylor had no choice but to agree. After all, she was the one who could exin


    everything that had happened earlier clearly.


    "Are you sure you''re good to go now?"


    Taylor was still feeling a little worried. Since Emily had been just hypnotized a few minutes ago, there


    was still no confirmation if she was really fine. However, Emily dispelled Taylor''s worries just with the


    look in her eyes. At that point, Taylor realized there was nothing to worry about.
