Chapter 154 Hypnosis
Claire's car got rear-ended.
Her chest hit the steering wheel, causing a lung contusion.
She's at Duke Medical Center. She's okay for now.
Fake Timothy told Elizabeth about Claire's situation.
Elizabeth quickly called Tom to tell him.
After she hung up, fake Timothy gently told her to take a shower and go to bed. "You need to take care of yourself now too. Be good and go shower and sleep."
There was no way Elizabeth could sleep right now. She at least needed to wait until Tom went to Duke Medical Center and saw Claire in person before she could relax.
But she didn't want to look at this fake right now - wearing Timothy's face while doing inhuman things.
She nodded, planning to go to the bathroom.
He went to get her a change of clothes, then sighed, "I forgot to get you pajamas."
Elizabeth said, "No need. When I'm staying in the hospital, I'm not used to wearing pajamas."
She got out of bed, took the clean clothes, and walked into the bathroom.
Elizabeth braced her hands on the sink. She had to find a way to escape.
She had to find a way out.
After she finished showering, she waited for Tom's call. Only after learning that Claire's life wasn't in danger did she breathe a sigh of relief.
"Mr. Robinson, I'm going to sleep now. Good night."
"Good night."
She lay down on the bed.
The hospital room became quiet.
Elizabeth didn't sleep well that night.
In the middle of the night, she woke up to find him standing at her bedside. She nearly died of fright.
"What are you doing? Not sleeping in the middle of the night - you scared me to death standing there."
"Sorry, I heard you having a nightmare."
After saying this, he lay down on the hospital bed and said in a low voice, "I'll sleep with you. Sleep peacefully."
Elizabeth's mind instantly jolted awake.
With a venomous snake lying beside her, how could she possibly sleep?
But she couldn't say much.
She could only close her eyes and pretend to be asleep.
Elizabeth seemed to only fall asleep when it was almost dawn.
The next morning at eight o'clock.
Elizabeth was woken up to eat breakfast.
After getting pregnant, she had to eat three meals on time.
While eating breakfast, fake Timothy across from her told her, "Elizabeth, Jason will come at nine to give you psychological treatment."
Elizabeth said calmly, "Since you came back, I feel much better. Looks like I don't need to see a psychologist."
"He's already coming anyway. Having him take a look will put my mind at ease," fake Timothy stood up and smiled gently. "I'll step out for a moment."
"Where are you going?" Elizabeth asked, trying to sound casual.
"Out for a smoke." Fake Timothy touched her hair, smiled, and turned to walk out of the hospital room.
Seeing him leave the room, Elizabeth pretended to yawn and mumbled, "Strange, I just woke up, why am I sleepy again?"
She climbed onto the bed, pulled the blanket over herself, covering her whole body.
Hiding under the blanket, she took out her phone and quickly ordered a car through an app, then pulled back the blanket and pretended to answer a call.
She got out of bed, pretending to be on the phone while walking out of the hospital room.
She was acting like she was on some secret mission.
He held his phone, watching the surveillance.
He saw her answer a call and leave the room, raising an eyebrow.
He said to the middle-aged foreign man sitting across from him, "Jason, my fiancée suffers from paranoid delusions. I'd like you to hypnotize her."
"Mr. Robinson, this kind of illness can't be treated through hypnosis."
Hypnosis was merely a form of suggestion and couldn't treat this kind of mental illness.
Under hypnosis, a person might experience changes in perception, thinking, memory, and behavior.
Jason was a famous hypnotist in the industry, not a psychiatrist.
Fake Timothy said in a low voice, "My fiancée developed these mental problems because I went missing for a while. I just want you to give her hypnotic suggestions, suggesting that I've returned safely from abroad."
"She's pregnant now and her physical condition isn't great. I'm asking for your help."
Fake Timothy made his request sincerely.
Jason thought for a moment. "I need to meet Ms. Penrose first. If it's just giving her hypnotic suggestions that you've returned safely from abroad, the success rate of the hypnosis would be quite high."
After hearing this, fake Timothy smiled slowly. "Thank you."
He sent Elizabeth a message.
[Elizabeth, I just got a call from a friend at Duke Medical Center. Your friend Claire has woken up]
At the hospital entrance, Elizabeth had just gotten into a taxi when she saw the message from fake Timothy.
Claire.
Was he threatening her with Claire?
Elizabeth bit her lip, her face cold. "Sir, I have something urgent. I need to get out. Sorry."
She got out of the car and looked up at the hospital.
Elizabeth frowned. She opened her email and quickly sent a message to Max.
[The one back home is fake Timothy. He's right beside me. Don't contact me anymore]
After sending the email, she deleted the sent record and put away her phone.
She went to the convenience store next to the hospital and bought a bunch of snacks, then called fake Timothy. "Mr. Robinson, come down and pay. I'm at the convenience store next to the hospital."
She hung up after speaking.
Fake Timothy smiled and apologized to Jason, saying he needed to go downstairs to bring his fiancée back to the room.
When he walked into the convenience store, he saw Elizabeth with a lollipop in her mouth, staring blankly at the ceiling.
Seeing him, she waved and pointed at the snacks on the table, saying unclearly with the lollipop in her mouth, "I want to buy all of these. Go pay for them."
She had only paid for the lollipop in her mouth.
Timothy took the snacks from the table to the counter, then only picked out a few lollipops to pay for. "We don't want the rest. Just these few candies, thank you."
Elizabeth was furious.
This guy was really stingy.
When she followed fake Timothy back to the hospital room, she saw Jason standing at the door.
"Elizabeth, this is Jason. He'll be treating you shortly."
"Ms. Penrose, hello, I'm Jason."
Elizabeth forced a smile, feeling panicked.
Advanced hypnotists, when making suggestions, had their own methods to help patients relax and enter the state.
Elizabeth stayed alert around Jason, the hypnotist brought by fake Timothy.
But she seemed to be affected by not sleeping well last night. When Jason talked to her, her eyelids kept drooping.
Gradually, her brain entered a sleep state.
