Chapter 1922

“Eveline, it’s me.”

Shirley lifted her hand to pat Madeline’s arm softly.

Madeline turned her head to look, and surprise flashed in her eyes. “Shirley?”

“It’s me.” Shirley nodded. “Madeline, this is St. Piaf, ” Shirley then said.

“St. Piaf?” Madeline frowned, gradually recalling all that had happened before falling unconscious.

It was clear to her now. She had been Carter’s initial main target in his revenge plan.

As Madeline collected her thoughts, she heard Shirley’s kind reminder drifted into her ear.

“Eveline, it’s hard for you to leave this place now, but I believe that Jeremy has ways to find you.

Though I want to remind you that this is St. Piaf. Carter’s status isn’t ordinary here. In the past, Jeremy could sneak in with a crowd, but he might not be able to this time.”

After hearing what Shirley said, Madeline started to feel worried.

She was worried not for herself but for Jeremy.

“Shirley, do you have a phone? I want to call Jeremy.”

Shirley shook her head softly. “I haven’t had a phone in a long time. Even if I had one, I don’t know who to contact.” Her eyes reddened as she spoke.

However, she quickly forced an apologetic smile on her face. “I’m sorry. Everything happened because of me. I developed AXP69. I’m also the reason why Jeremy had been tormented by the poison for so long. Now, you’re enduring all of this because of the mistakes I made.”

Madeline did not blame Shirley since Shirley was trying to make up for this as best as she could, so she did not want to dwell on the past anymore.

She lifted her hand to rub her temple. She looked at the layout around her and asked, “Is this Carter’s study?”

“Yeah.” Shirley nodded. “He was about to hypnotize you an hour ago.”

“ .” Madeline paused. She felt a chill running down her spine. “He still intends on hypnotizing me.”

“You must’ve heard about his hypnotism, right? He can affect anyone’s thoughts merely with his eyes.

He doesn’t need any tools. He has a natural-born talent for this.”

When Shirley said this, she seemed a little proud. She unintentionally displayed the admiration and fondness she had for Carter.

“Eveline, you must remember to avoid his eyes. Also, the hypnosis he’s best at simultaneously uses psychology to affect one’s mind. Don’t give him a chance to perform advanced hypnosis on you.”

Madeline smiled helplessly hearing what Shirley said.

“This is St. Piaf. If he has a plan, I think I won’t be able to escape.”

Shirley was dazed when she heard that. “You mean “Carter will definitely want to exact his revenge on Jeremy, so he’ll definitely find a chance to perform advanced hypnosis on me, that’s why…”

Madeline said and lifted her pleading eyes. “I hope you can help me.”

Shirley replied without hesitation. “Tell me. I’ll do my best if I can help you.”

“Thanks, ” Madeline thanked her but when Shirley heard Madeline’s gratitude, she could not believe her ears.

“No, you shouldn’t thank me, Eveline. I owe you this.” Shirley’s eyes were filled with regret.

Madeline did not speak further and merely smiled.

“Carter might be back soon. Eveline, tell me quickly, how do you want me to help you?”
