“I’m sorry, Professor Lincoln. The way I put it might be difficult for you to understand. To be honest, I don’t really know how to describe that feeling myself either.”
Professor Lincoln nodded. Then, he took out a pen and drew a line on a piece of paper. “This line represents your current state. The spaces in between are the memories you’ve forgotten.”
“That’s right.” Shaun nodded.
Professor Lincoln frowned. “Before this, have you ever felt there was something wrong with your memories? Or did you just realize it recently?”
Shaun was taken aback. He shook his head. “The doctor in the past said I had a mental illness in this area. Back then, I was… The doctor said I was similar to those older age patients with brain atrophy. If I didn’t get it treated as soon as possible, I might have degenerated to a retard or a child.” Professor Lincoln was deep in thought. “Last question, did your feelings experience any change?”
“Three years ago… the one I loved was another childhood sweetheart of mine. I thought I would love her forever. ” Shaun frowned. “But strangely, after my ex-wife returned, I was easily attracted to my ex-wife again. I’m not a playboy. Recently, I realized maybe I did care about my ex-wife in the past, but because I forgot…”
“You forgot?” Professor Lincoln processed Shaun’s words. “Three years ago, did you notice that your memories of your ex-wife were incomplete? If you didn’t love her, why did you marry her? How did you both interact in your daily life?”
“I can remember.” Shaun nodded. “I remember why we got married. She married me just because she mistook me as the uncle of her ex-boyfriend. When she knew my real identity, she thought of every possible way to seduce me, but I didn’t like her at all. I felt revolted when I was with her. The one I love was another woman.”
“In this case, your memories of your ex-wife used to be a perfectly straight line, but you only just realized that it’s now a dashed line.” Professor Lincoln looked at him calmly. “Many people, when they forget someone they closely interact with in their lives, they’ll slowly realize many weird points. But why did you only realize it after three years? It wasn’t even you who found it out yourself. It was your friend who told you about it.”
Shaun was shocked.
That was true. He had forgotten so many things. However, in his brain, the memories he had with Cate in the past were still a perfect line, as if he had never forgotten anything.
His tall figure started to tremble. “Professor Lincoln, I… How did I become like this? Is it because of my illness?”
“This kind of situation won’t arise from your illness. ” Professor Lincoln shook his head and took a sip of coffee. “Perhaps the straight line of the memory you thought isn’t actually complete. In other words, someone drew the straight line for you. Do you know about robots? With them, you can delete programs and key in the instructions you want, like who you should obey and who you should like.”
Shaun was mind blown.
Shaun’s handsome face paled. Someone had deleted programs from his brain?
He laughed dryly. “This is impossible, Professor Lincoln. I’m not a robot…”
Professor Lincoln put on a straight face. “No, as far as I know, Y country has an ancient hypnotic skill that does this. This hypnotic skill can tamper with a person’s feelings and memories. It can even go unnoticed by the person concerned.”
Shaun’s brain rumbled.
Hypnosis?
Someone had altered his memories and feelings. ” You mean the person I loved might’ve been my wife, but someone altered it afterward and made me love another woman?”
“This is just my guess. I can’t confirm it, ” Professor Lincoln said, “but the symptoms you mentioned are similar to being under the influence of Country Y’s ancient hypnotic skill. Not only that, the person who carried out the hypnosis on you should be a person you trust very much. If not, that person wouldn’t have succeeded. At the same time, this person must be considerably skilled in the field of psychology.”
A person he trusted very much…
Shaun thought of Sarah. She used to be the person he trusted the most, so much that he would believe in anything she said.
Furthermore, Sarah was one of the best in the world when it came to her skills in psychological treatment.
However, at the thought that it was her who altered his memories, he could not help but shiver.
He did not dare to believe it as well. Would the pure woman who supported and encouraged him in the mental hospital when he was young become so evil and vicious?
“Professor Lincoln, do you know how to use this hypnotic skill?” Shaun asked bewilderedly.
“I don’t.” Professor Lincoln shook his head. “This ancient hypnotic skill is too evil. The international organization banned it a long time ago. Think about it, if everyone knew how to do it, wouldn’t this world fall into chaos? Besides, the success rate of that hypnosis is very, very low. Only one out of ten people would succeed at most. The remaining nine would become retards due to the failure.”
“Become a… retard?” Shaun was shocked again. ” Does it mean that if I was hypnotized by someone and it failed at that time, I would’ve become a retard?”
“Yes. That’s why this ancient hypnotic skill has been long lost. Around 5o or 6o years ago, there was someone who tried to hypnotize a billionaire. I n the end, that billionaire became a retard, and his family caught that psychologist and shot him dead.”
Professor Lincoln thought about it and said, ” Besides, even if you realize that you’ve been hypnotized, don’t try to cure yourself or look for your original memories. The structure of the brain is very complicated. The probability of you getting cured is only 0.01 percent. If it fails, not only will you not end up a normal person, but you’ll even become a retard.”
Shaun was stunned for a long time.
He initially wanted to get his memories back.
“That’s… so evil.” Shaun’s hands, which were resting on his knees, trembled.
“Yes, it is quite evil.” Professor Lincoln nodded. Then, he looked at Shaun complicatedly. “If you have someone you’re suspicious of, stay away from that person. Of course, I sincerely hope that you weren’t hypnotized. Maybe all of these are just your delusions.”
“Thank you.” Shaun stood up and bowed.
After leaving Professor Lincoln’s place, Shaun did not drive. He simply walked around the university campus quietly. His long legs were trembling.
Not only that, but his mind was blank.
He, too, hoped that everything was just his imagination.
Did Sarah hypnotize him despite knowing that he might become a retard?
That was impossible. It did not make sense for Sarah to be so evil.
However, what if it was true? His hair stood on end when he thought about Sarah’s gentle, kind, big- hearted character during those three years.
No. He absolutely had to find out the truth. Even if he could not remember, he had to figure out where exactly his memories went wrong.
Hence, he immediately bought an air ticket to Melbourne. He did not tell anyone about it because if Sarah, whom he had trusted for more than ten years, made him deeply suspicious, then what about the others?
When the airplane landed at Melbourne Airport, Lea gave Shaun a call. “What time are you coming to the company today?”
“I’m in Melbourne now.”
“What?” Lea flew off the handle. “Didn’t I tell you yesterday to meet the director of Garson Corporation today? Now everyone in Canberra wants to collaborate with Garson Corporation. But you? You went to Melbourne without saying a word. What are you trying to do?”
“I have something important to sort out,” Shaun said in a low voice.
“How important can it be? Is it more important than Lyons Corporation?” Lea was furious.
“Yes. It is very important,” Shaun repeated himself.
Lea was at a loss of what to say to him. “I don’t care. Come back as soon as possible after you’re done. Have you forgotten? The last time you asked me to manage Lyons Corporation, I was as busy as a bee every day. Do you want me to die from overworking?”
“Okay.”
Shaun hung up. After exiting the airport, he went straight to Jennings Solicitors.
The receptionist first thought Shaun came for a legal consultation. However, after hearing that he wanted to meet Chase, the receptionist brought him to Chase’s office right away.
“Let’s go bowling together tonight…” Chase, who was sitting on the leather sofa, turned his body around. When he saw a towering silhouette suddenly walk through the door, he stood up in surprise and ended the call in a hurry.
“F*ck, Shaun. You… Why are you here?” Chase sized him up. The Shaun in front of him was wearing a pair of blue jeans and a black T-shirt. His hair rested on his heavily wounded face. He looked exactly like a lifeless young man.
Chase’s jaw almost dropped out of shock. “Your… Your transformation is quite huge.”
“Back when I lived in the villa in Melbourne, I remember you found me a housekeeper named Linda. Can you contact her? I have some things I want to ask her.” Shaun went straight to the point.
“You want to look for her? It’s been so long. Wait a moment.”
Chase made a phone call to the housekeeping agency and checked for a while before reaching Aunty Linda. “Aunty Linda is working as a nanny in this villa.”
Chase gave him an address. “I’ll send you there.” “No need.” Shaun took the address. “Thank you.”
“Don’ t mention it. I’m not used to you behaving like this.” Chase threw the car keys at him. “You can drive my car over. We’ll have dinner together later.”
“That’s rare.” Shaun glanced at him. “You rarely contact the three of us now. How many times have you gone to Canberra and not invited us out for a meal? You’re quite comfortable staying in Melbourne alone.”
For some reason, he suddenly envied Chase.
Although Melbourne was small, Chase was basically the overlord here. Life here was not as insufferable as Canberra.
Chase smiled awkwardly. “I didn’t mean to lose contact with you guys, but you three always brought Tracy and Sarah around. I really didn’t like them. I felt like…”
He suddenly closed his mouth. “Forget it.”
