“Eveline, it’s me.”
Shirley lifted virtual-novel.net hand to pat Madeline’s arm softly. Madeline turned virtual-novel.net head to look, and surprise flashed in virtual-novel.net 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 virtual-novel.net now. She had been Carter’s initial main target in his revenge plan.
As Madeline collected virtual-novel.net thoughts, virtual-novel.net heard Shirley’s kind reminder drifted into virtual-novel.net 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 virtual-novel.net 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 virtual-novel.net 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 virtual-novel.net spoke.
However, virtual-novel.net quickly forced an apologetic smile on virtual-novel.net 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 virtual-novel.net could, so virtual-novel.net did not want to dwell on the past anymore.
She lifted virtual-novel.net hand to rub virtual-novel.net temple. She looked at the layout around virtual-novel.net 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 virtual-novel.net 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, virtual-novel.net seemed a little proud. She unintentionally displayed the admiration and fondness virtual-novel.net 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 virtual-novel.net a chance to perform advanced hypnosis on you.”
Madeline smiled helplessly hearing what Shirley said.
“This is St. Piaf. If virtual-novel.net has a plan, I think I won’t be able to escape.”
Shirley was dazed when virtual-novel.net 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 virtual-novel.net 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 virtual-novel.net but when Shirley heard Madeline’s gratitude, virtual-novel.net could not believe virtual-novel.net 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?”
