Chapter 76 Touching Blood
Jasper had never thought of it that way, he was just worried about her health.
Standing outside the bathroom door, he knocked frequently, “Helena, your body will not get feverish for no reason, and when it does, it means something is wrong. Hypnosis is trying to find the cause of the fever.”
In the meantime.
The lift stopped at the 28th floor, and Rebecca stood inside the lift, carrying a thermos bucket in her right hand.
The building manager reached out to stop her: “There is a rule in the race that designers from different companies on different floors cannot visit each other’s rooms. You should go back.”
Rebecca pressed the lift button while raising the thermos bucket on her hand, “My sister has a fever and didn’t go down to eat. I bring her food, I won’t go into her room, and I’ll leave after delivering it at the door.”
“Is there poison in the rice?”
“……”
“After eating the meal you delivered, can you take full responsibility if Miss Helena becomes unwell?”
“……”
“Miss Rebecca, you and Miss Helena are not in the same company, so you should rightly know to avoid gossip. If something bad really happened, can we suspect that you intend to harm Miss Helena to remove your rival?”
Rebecca was uncomfortable, not expecting the building manager to speak so directly.
To prove her innocence, she opened the thermos and ate, mouthful by mouth, in front of the building manager: “Is it poisonous? Am I trying to remove a rival? She is my sister, would I harm my own sister? In your eyes we are competitors, in my eyes she is my sister and I worry about her.”
The building manager was expressionless: “Since you’ve finished eating, please leave.”
Rebecca returned to her room. She did not get angry this time, instead she was extra calm: they were all defending her, they were all favoring Helena, she couldn’t use her old tactics again ……! She has to change her tactics, eyes dropping down and looking somewhere.
…
Helena hid inside the bathroom and looked at herself in the mirror.
Who the hell was she?
What kind of monster was she?
Why could she dream of Jasper and his future?
What about her strength?
She didn’t have this kind of strength when Lyla injured her, could her strength have something to do with Lyla’s bruising? In other words: Lyla broke her head and opened up a new world to her?
“Helena, open the door and we’ll talk.”
“Let’s just find the cause of the fever and not touch your privacy.”
“We’ll do one hypnosis, and definitely not a second time.”
……
Helena still didn’t want to do it; she would be admitting she had a psychological problem if she did.
She had no psychological problems.
She was mentally healthy.Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.
She was not a monster. An anxious light flashed in her eyes as she raised her fist and slammed it heavily into the mirror in front of her with a scream, “Ah!”
It hurt, it hurt!
Her fist hurt!
The mirror didn’t break, not a crack. She didn’t have the strength, she couldn’t break the mirror.
There was a loud bang. Jasper kicked down the bathroom door and rushed in in a hurry. He grabbed Helena, examined her up and down carefully. Seeing her red fist, his heart ached, he took her into his arms: “Okay, I’ll change the doctor to check the cause of your fever, you won’t do hypnosis, no more hypnosis.”
It was even harder for Helena than it was for him, and she closed her eyes, not wanting to face these facts.
Suddenly there was a ticking sound in her ears: “Tick-tock”! “Tick-tock!”. This sound was crisp and clear, like a lullaby, and like some kind of magic spell that circled Helena in and charmed her into it, unable to escape.
Her mind gradually emptied and her thoughts followed. She became free of distractions and was in a calm mood. She didn’t know how long the peace lasted, but a soft woman’s voice came to her ears again, “Well, now you tell me, who are you?”
Helena was hypnotised.
The ticking sound was a hypnotic signal released by Kate.
Matthew made it very clear: his sister was very great, and if it wasn’t for Jasper, she would not have come. Once she stepped in, there was no patient she couldn’t handle.
Helena lay on the bed, her eyes tightly closed and her lips lightly parted, “I am Helena Yip.”
Kate stood at the head of the bed, said in a moving tone: “Tell me, where are you at this moment?”
Helena looked around the hypnotic area and there was nothing, a barren yellow: “I don’t know. I haven’t been here before.”
“What’s the sign?”
“There’s no sign.”
“Buildings? Trees? Flowers and plants?”
“Neither!”
“So what’s there?”
Helena squatted down and touched it, “It’s sand. So much sand.”
Kate frowned slightly, “You were in the desert?”
Helena’s pupils dilated and she suddenly woke up from the hypnosis. Kate took out the prop and suspended it above her eyes, swinging it back and forth: “Helena, walk forward, keep walking forward. Don’t look back, keep walking forward.”
Helena was bounced back into the hypnosis zone.
She followed the voice’s directions forward, it was all sandy and particularly difficult to walk. She was very tired and thirsty and she wanted to drink water. Kate said, “There’s someone up ahead to bring you water, look who she is.”
Helena stood there looking forward.
A man emerged from the distance in a scorching desert, he was: “Elias.”
Jasper’s face was pale: it was Elias? So the man in her dream was Elias?
Kate glared at Matthew and asked him to pull Jasper further away. Jasper’s emotions were too strong and would interfere with her hypnotic response. As Jasper was pulled onto the sofa, Matthew said quietly, “Treatment! Find the cause of the disease! It has nothing to do with love!”
Jasper gave him a blank look: what could he do if it was about love? He could leave her just because she loved Elias?
Kate continued to guide her, “Who is Elias to you?”
Helena stood there as Elias walked towards her, but he did not have water in his hand. When he reached her, he seemed not to see her and continued to walk on. Helena turned her head to look over and saw Rebecca.
Rebecca pounced on him, hugged him, kissed him, and kissed him passionately, “Elias, we’ll be together soon, she won’t live long, and neither will Jasper. She’s just a fool, fooled by us.”
Helena’s breathing went heavy, her fists clenched, and the veins on the back of her hands bulged up, like worms crawling on them.
Kate strained her voice: “Helena, tell me, what did you see?”
Helena pursed her lips without speaking, her chest rising and falling violently: “She believes whatever we say. Elias, after you squeeze that little resource out of Jasper, she can die.”
Kate’s voice dripped with anxiety, “Helena, what did you see?”
Helena bit her lips so tightly that her lips were bitten through and bright red blood flowed out. Kate snapped her fingers in her ear, “Wake up!”
The view faded.
The richness of the picture became a blank sheet of paper.
Helena woke up from the hypnosis, her eyes were hollow and she didn’t know what had happened. However, her lips hurt, and when she reached out to touch them, she felt blood: “What’s happening to me?”
