âOh my, how did that happen?â The nanny immediately put aside her work and hurried upstairs. She sighed when she saw the actor collapsed on the sofa, looking as if he was sleeping.
âHe must have been exhausted! How did he end up falling asleep on the sofa?!â
The nanny muttered under her breath as she stepped forward and gently nudged Hua Jinâs shoulder.
âYoung Master, Young Master?â
The actor did not respond. Suspicious, the nanny shook him a little harder. The actor jerked awake. He opened his eyes and felt a terrible headache coming on. His mind felt as if it had been whitewashed. For a moment, he could not react to where he was.
Natalia saw the confusion in his eyes and was assured⦠her hypnosis worked. She breathed an inward sigh of relief.
Hypnosis is all about cooperation. If a person is extremely resistant and repulsed before being hypnotized, especially when he is vigilant just prior to that, as if he has a vague idea of what will happen next, the hypnosis can easily fail.
Unexpectedly, it worked. She took a deep breath and immediately smiled. She pretended to be worried. âUncle, are you tired? Why did you fall asleep on the sofa?â
Hua Jin looked puzzled as well. He couldnât think how he could have fallen asleep on the sofa just like that. The last thing he remembered was still Gong Jieâs departure. How did he end up lying here? He had no idea at all what had happened in between.
âWhy am I here?â he asked, feeling confused.
âYou said you were tired and wanted to sit down. I didnât think youâd just lean back and fall asleep.â Natalia paused, then explained, âI didnât want to wake you. But it was getting cooler and I was worried youâd catch a cold. So I just thought Iâd wake you so that you can go back to your room to sleep.â
The actor was baffled. Why did he seem to be missing a block of memory? He didnât seem to recall at all what had happened before this.
âMaybe youâre sleepy and tired?!â Natalia said, âIf youâre tired, go back to your room and sleep! Itâs late. You should retire for the night.â
She yawned as she said this. âI feel sleepy too. Iâm going back to my room to rest. Good night.â
The actor nodded, still in a daze. His mind was blank. He didnât like this feeling. It was as if he had lost his memory. In that instant, he seemed to understand Youyouâs remark about the memory gaps that would form whenever the other personality took over. How painful it must be. It was like a memory loss.
The actor knocked his head gently and thought hard for a moment. He could not remember what had happened, so he stood up and grabbed his coat.
The nanny saw that he wasnât quite his usual self and asked anxiously, âWhatâs wrong?â
âFeeling unwell.â The actor said weakly, âIâm tired. I wish to get an early night.â
âAlright⦠Young Master, rest early! Goodnight.â
âGoodnight.â The actor headed for his bedroom.
The nanny stared after him hesitantly.

She was standing at the top of the stairs, and heard vaguely the sound of something heavy falling. She had wanted to come up and look, but eventually didnât. She had no idea what had happened. But she just feltâ¦
It was strange, although she couldnât put a finger on it.
