FreeNovelChapter 571 Leopold's expression was in intensity, his mind racing with thoughts. "Drugging is typically an immediate effect.
Her condition seems more consistent with hypnosis." The so-called "curse’ was comparable to a concoction of bacterial toxins mixed with psychological suggestions or hypnosis.
Aurelia had watched movies about hypnosis. In those movies, the hypnotist could silently seize control of a person's consciousness, which was terrifying.
"Could the man on the suspension bridge have been hypnotized as well?" "It's possible.” Leopold nodded slightly. He had reached out to a renowned hypnotherapist abroad and would soon have answers.
A shiver of fear ran through Aurelia. “Indeed, the AK Group appears to be a nest for various formidable characters. They're tough to handle” A chilling grimness flitted across Leopold's face. He, too, had his league of extraordinary talents.

Glancing at her phone, Aurelia noted the time. "I'm sleepy. Time to hit the hay for some beauty sleep, and you better hurry back to watch over Kane." Leopold pinched her cheek playfully. "Not everyone is susceptible to hypnosis. Kids under six, for instance, can't be hypnotized.” She pouted. "Still, we can't be too careful. What if someone close gets hypnotized? They might target someone you'd least expect. | should beef up the security at Blossom Villa." A thought struck Aurelia as she spoke, and she added, “When you meet the hypnotherapist, ask him how one can avoid getting hypnotized." Her pride was still smarting, and she wasn't in the mood for an extended chat with him.
The thought of him making out with Megan left a sour feeling as if she was overwhelmed with jealousy. And she wouldn't put it past him to spend the night with Megan, under the guise of protection.
Men's minds are as deep and mysterious as the ocean floor, and it wasn’t something she could easily decipher with her wits.
That night, Megan “sleepwalked" again as if she were a timer, repeating the sarne actions at the same hour.
Leopold took her to the hypnotherapist.
They thought the hypnotherapist had lifted Megan's hypnosis but to no avail. Megan continued her nocturnal wanderings, unchanged. She was on the verge of a breakdown.
“It isn't hypnosis. It's a curse. It's far more sinister. Who knows, | might be dead in a few days,’ she said in tears.
Leopold decided that when she slept, he would have his bodyguards tie her up to prevent any self-harm.
Aurelia dropped by his office to check Megan's condition the following day.
"Has the hypnotism been broken?" "No.” Leopold massaged his forehead, exhausted. Despite the hypnotherapist's efforts, Megan's sleepwalking persisted like an unbreakable spell.
Aurelia’s expression grew more somber. The situation was bizarre.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"Could we be wrong? It's not hypnosis but an actual curse?" Although Megan was her enemy, Aurelia still hoped for a solution to counter the AK Group's nefarious tactics.
Leopold stroked his chin, pondering.
"There's no physical ailment, which means she hasn't got poisoned. They don't want her dead. As long as she stays indoors and avoids strangers, it won't get worse." "That's a relief. She's pregnant, after all. She can't withstand too much stress.” There was a hint of jealousy in Aurelia's tone as she spoke. She was becoming more convinced that Megan's child was Leopold's. It was common for Megan to be pregnant with his child after they had sex. He was keeping Aurelia in the dark. What a cad! Leopold sneezed as if struck by a wave of resentment from Aurelia.
“We should take a break this weekend. Invite Skyler, and we'll go on a little getaway" Aurelia knew he wanted to draw out their adversary.
It was likely that their foe had already secretly arrived in Elysium and was shadowing Skyler.
When William heard Aurelia and Skyler were planning a getaway, he wanted to tag along. Not wanting to bring him, Aurelia found him sulking, mimicking with a pout like the other kids.
She pinched his chubby cheek. "Since when did you become such a baby?" “I'm only three and a half years old’ William retorted, sticking out his tongue.
