âOkay,â the little one muttered in reply.
Once Philip Barlow left the room, William looked at the tiny sleeping figure next to him. He murmured, âJasper, donât stop. liking me, okay? Donât let anyone else take my place. Iâll be a great person one day, I promise!â
As he spoke in his childlike voice, it sounded as though he was making an oath.
Kyla and Martin Weiss dined in the hotel restaurant with Grace and Jason.
Looking at Mick, who was eating quietly, Kyla asked, âWhereâs Jasper? Didnât she come to Deer City?â
âSheâs at the Barlow familyâs house. Weâll pick her up there later,â said Grace. She then told Kyla about the installation of surveillance cameras and the investigation of the attending doctor she had mentioned to Philip Barlow at the Barlow familyâs house yesterday.
âThank you, Grace,â Kyla said gratefully.
âDonât mention it,â said Grace.
Halfway through their meal, Kyla wanted to go to the washroom. Grace accompanied Kyla there. After all, nothing could happen to Kyla in her current state.
Looking at Martin Weiss, Jason suddenly said, âHave you really forgotten your feelings for Kyla?â
âSo what if I have?â Martin Weiss asked.
âDonât you think itâs a pity?â Jason smiled and said, âSuch unforgettable feelings were gone in the blink of an eye. Donât you ever feel like some part of you is gone?â
Martin Weissâs hands paused as he looked up at him. They had both gone through hypnosis, so one could say that they knew each otherâs feelings best.
âJason, what are you trying to say?â he asked.
Jason said slowly, âSometimes, the so-called hypnosis is just self-deception. Youâll only forget your feelings temporarily. Thereâs still a possibility that when you recall them, your yearning will be stronger.
When I was hypnotized, I truly forgot some things, but itâs different for you. You probably remember everything.â
Martin Weiss was silent.
Jason continued, âAre you sure you wonât regret it when another man appears by Kylaâs side after divorcing her? Are you sure you wonât regret forgetting your feelings for her and giving the opportunity to someone else?â
âDonât worry about me. I have nothing to regret since Iâve already chosen to forget the relationship,â
Martin Weiss said coldly.
âWhy did you accompany Kyla to Deer City, then? You donât even know how long youâll be staying in Deer City. Since when is the chairman of Weiss Group so free?â Jason said.
âSince when did Emerald Cityâs famous Young master Reed become so free to care about other peopleâs relationships?â Martin Weiss said sarcastically.
Jasonâs dark eyes were filled with a touch of sympathy. âItâs probably because I have something in common with you. I seem to see Grace and me in you and Kyla, so Iâd like you to have a happy ending as well.â
âIs this not a happy ending for me?â Martin Weiss asked.
âItâs far from the end. Do you really think you wonât remember anything anymore after the hypnosis?
Even if thereâs no âcodewordâ to lift hypnosis, it may be accidentally lifted at some point. Just like me,â
said Jason.
