“Oh my, how did that happen?” The nanny immediately put aside her work and hurried upstairs. She sighed when she saw the actor collapsed on the sofa, looking as if he was sleeping.

“He must have been exhausted! How did he end up falling asleep on the sofa?!”

The nanny muttered under her breath as she stepped forward and gently nudged Hua Jin’s shoulder.

“Young Master, Young Master?”

The actor did not respond. Suspicious, the nanny shook him a little harder. The actor jerked awake. He opened his eyes and felt a terrible headache coming on. His mind felt as if it had been whitewashed. For a moment, he could not react to where he was.

!!

Natalia saw the confusion in his eyes and was assured… her hypnosis worked. She breathed an inward sigh of relief.

Hypnosis is all about cooperation. If a person is extremely resistant and repulsed before being hypnotized, especially when he is vigilant just prior to that, as if he has a vague idea of what will happen next, the hypnosis can easily fail.

Unexpectedly, it worked. She took a deep breath and immediately smiled. She pretended to be worried. “Uncle, are you tired? Why did you fall asleep on the sofa?”

Hua Jin looked puzzled as well. He couldn’t think how he could have fallen asleep on the sofa just like that. The last thing he remembered was still Gong Jie’s departure. How did he end up lying here? He had no idea at all what had happened in between.

“Why am I here?” he asked, feeling confused.

“You said you were tired and wanted to sit down. I didn’t think you’d just lean back and fall asleep.” Natalia paused, then explained, “I didn’t want to wake you. But it was getting cooler and I was worried you’d catch a cold. So I just thought I’d wake you so that you can go back to your room to sleep.”

The actor was baffled. Why did he seem to be missing a block of memory? He didn’t seem to recall at all what had happened before this.

“Maybe you’re sleepy and tired?!” Natalia said, “If you’re tired, go back to your room and sleep! It’s late. You should retire for the night.”

She yawned as she said this. “I feel sleepy too. I’m going back to my room to rest. Good night.”

The actor nodded, still in a daze. His mind was blank. He didn’t like this feeling. It was as if he had lost his memory. In that instant, he seemed to understand Youyou’s remark about the memory gaps that would form whenever the other personality took over. How painful it must be. It was like a memory loss.

The actor knocked his head gently and thought hard for a moment. He could not remember what had happened, so he stood up and grabbed his coat.

The nanny saw that he wasn’t quite his usual self and asked anxiously, “What’s wrong?”

“Feeling unwell.” The actor said weakly, “I’m tired. I wish to get an early night.”

“Alright… Young Master, rest early! Goodnight.”

“Goodnight.” The actor headed for his bedroom.

The nanny stared after him hesitantly.

Earlier on…

She was standing at the top of the stairs, and heard vaguely the sound of something heavy falling. She had wanted to come up and look, but eventually didn’t. She had no idea what had happened. But she just felt…

It was strange, although she couldn’t put a finger on it.
