At the thought of that, Tom fixed his gaze on Toby with a regrettable look while feeling sympathetictoward him at the same time. In the meantime, Zane raised his eyebrows as his eyes fell upon theunconscious Toby, whom Tom was carrying. “Oh my goodness. What's wrong with Toby?” “He has afever,” Tom replied with a bitter smile. Sonia soon pursed her lips and said, “Hurry up and take himto the hospital then.” She finished her sentence and looked at Zane. “Come in.” “Sure!” Zane smiledand entered the house, whereupon Sonia directly closed the door without even looking at Tom andToby.
On the other hand, Tom was left outside as he stared at the door and shook his head helplesslybefore he walked away with Toby. Although he was worried for his boss because Sonia was nowalone with Zane, he was more concerned about his health, which made taking him to the hospitalhis priority. After all, he reckoned Toby could always live to fight with Zane another day when herecovered. On the other hand, Sonia was trimming the flowers that Zane gave her in her apartment,whereupon she arranged them nicely in a vase. At the same time, Zane sat on the couch with bothof his hands behind his head as he probingly asked, “Why did Toby swing by just now?”Nevertheless, Sonia failed to sense his intention, pursing her lips and answering, “That guy wasprobably out of his mind or something. He just suddenly showed up at my door and told me heloves me. Funny, right?” “What? He told you he loves you?!” Zane didn't replace it funny like he usuallywould but was shocked by what he learned. Since Sonia was absorbed in trimming those flowers,she didn't notice his expression. Instead, she nodded and said, “Yeah, but it seemed to me that hewas probably trying to pull a prank on me, so I didn't take it seriously anyway.” “Haha. I see!” Zanecurled his lips upward and chuckled in an unconcerned manner despite his stern eyes. Deep down,he didn't think Toby was pulling a prank on Sonia because he reckoned that was simply beneath hisfriend.
In fact, he was starting to get worried because he knew that Toby had probably discovered theperson he was truly in love with, which meant he was serious about his confession to Sonia. “By theway, why did you swing by so suddenly?” Sonia placed the vase that was filled with flowers asideand sat in front of Zane, interrupting his thoughts with her question. Zane avoided eye contact withthe lady while putting his mind at ease. Then, he tried to act natural by grabbing an apple from theplate before he took a bite. “I came to talk to you about Rina’s imposter.
Actually, I'm planning to have her show up at the Gray Residence tomorrow when the time is right.”“Have you made up your mind about that?” Sonia appeared to look rather serious. Zane nodded."Yeah, Rina’s imposter has already said yes, in fact.” “Alright, what do I have to do then?” Soniaasked. Zane rubbed his belly with a pitiful look. “Can you cook? I came here with an empty stomach,and you mustn't let your guest go hungry, right?” Amused by Zane's words, Sonia replied, “Okaythen, it seems that my help is not needed for the plan. So, sit here. I'll make something for younow.” She stood up and walked toward the kitchen. Meanwhile, the doctor and the nurse wereinjecting Toby with some febrifuge to reduce his fever.
“How is my boss?” Zane stood aside and asked in a concerned manner. “He is fine. It's just that therain might have probably caused inflammation on his wound. We've changed his bandage, so all wehave to do now is wait until his fever subsides.” “That's some good news.” Tom patted his chest inrelief. Soon, the nurse threw the syringe away and put Toby on a drip before excusing herself. Afterthat, Tom reached for his phone as he intended to inform Rose and everyone else at the FullerResidence about Toby's condition, but before he could make the call, his boss came to his senses.“President Fuller.” Tom put down his phone and helped Toby sit up straight. As Toby leaned on theheadboard, his feverish red cheeks were replaced by a sickly pale face.
Then, he looked around the ward and found his wrist attached to a drip, whereupon he asked in ahoarse voice, “What happened to me?” “You had an inflammation on your wound and a fever,” Tomanswered. Toby closed his eyes and asked, “Who took me here to the hospital then?” Did Soniabring me here? “It was me,” Tom replied, shattering Toby's hope with his answer. While Toby pursedhis lips and shot a cold gaze at Tom, he appeared to be confused and lost. Why does it seem like hethinks I'm a busybody all the time when I'm just trying to help? Is this all my hallucination?
Tom faked a cough and added, “Um. Right after you passed out from your fever, Miss Reed gave mea call and told me to take you to the hospital.” Upon hearing his assistant's reply, Toby was seenwith his eyes brightening up in happiness. Well, Sonia might not have taken me here herself, but itwas her who told Tom to admit me to the hospital. At the thought of that, Toby somehow lightenedup a little as he seemed to be more approachable. Nevertheless, the vibe took an unexpected turnwhen Tom suddenly asked, “Has Miss Reed forgiven you, President Fuller?” As he recalled seeingToby lying on the ground, he reckoned Sonia was probably still mad at him because she wouldn'thave let him lie down had she forgiven him.
However, he thought it was better for him to hear from Toby himself rather than jump toconclusions. Toby massaged his temples, apparently looking a little dizzy. “I fainted before I couldget it out of my mouth.” Tom raised the corner of his lips, calling Toby useless on the inside.Needless to say, he didn’t dare to speak his mind and lecture his boss, so he faked a cough andsaid, “Well, your health is more important, so let's wait till you recover from your fever before wedecide what to do next.” “Have you found a hypnotist that I told you to?” Toby squinted and asked.“I contacted one earlier, but it seemed that he couldn't replace time to make it, so I'm trying to contactsomeone else,” Tom replied. Toby clenched his jaw and said, “Get it done as soon as possible. Fornow, get Dr. Anderson to see me.” Although Kurtis couldn't see through his problems, he would stilllike to consult his professional opinion regarding his issues. “Alright,” Tom replied with anaffirmative hum and nodded, reaching for his phone to give Kurtis a call. An hour later, Kurtisshowed up at the ward. “President Fuller.” “Please have a seat, Dr. Anderson.”
Toby pointed at the chair next to the bed. Kurtis thanked Toby and grabbed a chair before sitting onit. “I believe you have sent for me because you have some questions about our previous meeting,right?” “Precisely. You suggested that I should seek help from a few other psychiatrists earlier to seewhether I was really hypnotized. While all their diagnoses showed the same result, it turned out thatI was indeed hypnotized.” Toby fixed his gaze on the doctor. “Are you sure, President Fuller?” Kurtisheld his glasses in surprise. “I met the person who hypnotized me.” Toby gritted his teeth, his everyword filled with rage and murderous intent. Kurtis expressed his curiosity. “And who exactly wasthat?”
Hypnotism was a magical yet dangerous art because of its capability of manipulating a person'smind and erasing one’s memory. In fact, some of the greatest hypnotists could even turn anyoneinto their mindless slaves, which would make them nothing different from gods. Because of that,hypnosis was considered to be a form of black magic that was prohibited in certain countries. At thesame time, Toby was beginning to suspect that the person, who hypnotized him earlier, was amongthe world's greatest hypnotists due to his ability to keep his hypnotic effects undetected by so manypsychiatrists.
While there were only a handful of godlike hypnotists in the world, they were usually aged and old.Besides, most of them had even signed a pact to never use their knowledge and talent for thewrong course. Therefore, he desperately wanted to know which hypnotist had broken the pact bycommitting the evil deed.
“I don't know, but my men are investigating the matter. All I know is that he is young and....handsome.” Toby knitted his eyebrows when he described the mysterious man’s good looks. Afterall, it somehow felt weird for him to compliment another man for his good looks. “A young man?”Kurtis was stunned. “How is that possible?”
