Chapter 461 Being Possessed

After leaving the hospital, Rosie glanced at the man's profile, eager to gauge the effects of the earlier. hypnosis Hence, she asked tentatively. "Eli, what should we do now?"

Elias stopped walking, his gaze clouded with confusion upon hearing this. It appeared that he, too, had forgotten his intended course of action. He turned to face the woman behind him and asked, "What would you like to do?

"I... Well, it's already noon, and my stomach's growling. How about we grab some lunch?" she suggested.

Instead of declining, he nodded and replied, "Sure, let's go."

As they strolled toward the parking lot, her heart swelled with joy as she observed his retreating figure. Inwardly, she pondered, Is it working? Could this signify the success of the earlier hypnosis? At least he no longer rejects my presence. Heh... If this keeps up, perhaps I'll become the sole occupant of his thoughts and heart. Suppressing her excitement, she followed behind him and entered the car.

Once they settled into the vehicle, the driver navigated away from the hospital.

Throughout the ride, Elias remained silent. His mind seemed occupied by the faint, mystical sound of bells. However, no bells were in sight when he scanned his surroundings.

Meanwhile, Rosie noticed his strange demeanor. Hence, she feigned concern and inquired, "Eli, are you okay? Do you have a headache again?"

"No. By the way, did I talk in my sleep at the doctor's office earlier? Also, is the doctor a woman?" He only remembered seeing a female doctor as she entered the room, and then an inexplicable drowsiness overcame him. During this time, he drifted into a prolonged dream. Eventually, he awoke, only to realize that three hours had slipped unnoticed.

She feigned a puzzled expression and remarked, "Yes, it was a female doctor. However, you didn't talk in your sleep. Perhaps you were simply exhausted and dozed off."

Then, he fell into contemplative silence and said nothing.

For the rest of the day, Elias was quite accommodating toward Rosie. He didn't return to the company but dedicated the entire day to her. Even he couldn't fathom the reason behind his actions. It felt as though an inner voice urged him that he cherished her above all else.

As night fell, he dropped her off near the Momsey Residence. She beamed as she unfastened her seatbelt, ready to exit the car and return home. In the meantime, he also stepped out of the car, accompanying her to the residence's gate to bid farewell.

"Eli, thank you for today. You've spent the entire day with me."

Head inside. It's getting late," Elias replied.

"Alright then, see you tomorrow. By the way, I've recently learned two new dishes. Ill prepare them for you tomorrow and bring them to your office, Rosie said with a joyful smile before darting toward the

villa

After seeing her safely inside. Elias swiftly retreated into his car. Despite feeling peculiarly dazed, the prospect of overtime work didn't cross his mind. He only wanted to head home and enjoy a restful night's sleep.

Soon. the car pulled away, and Rosie hummed merrily as she ascended the steps. She unexpectedly encountered her brother standing there in a daze. "Taylor, what brings you out here? Anyway, I'm utterly exhausted today, so I'm heading to bed," she said.

Suddenly, he grabbed her arm and asked anxiously, "Hold on! What's going on between you and Elias?

"It's exactly as you witnessed. Eli has been treating me well," she responded with an irrepressible giggle. The present scenario delighted her, and she secretly wished Elias would always treat her this way. Taylor appeared perplexed upon hearing this and struggled to comprehend their current relationship. The inexplicable change in Elias' demeanor led him to believe that the man had been possessed, as he now acted contrary to his usual demeanor. "That doesn't seem right. Even after he lost his memory, he wouldn't treat you so warmly. Despite not rejecting you, I've noticed him avoiding you. And now, he's suddenly so close to you, his indifference replaced with intimacy. What exactly transpired between you two?" he asked. In a sudden realization, he blurted out, "Did you two... You know?" The only explanation he could conjure for such a drastic change in a man was a romantic involvement.

Rosie blushed and playfully punched her brother. "What are you insinuating? Eli would never do that. No way!"

"Well then, what is it? Is he possessed or something? How could you possibly be with such a fickle man?" he inquired, his curiosity undeterred.

Though she knew everything, she chose silence as her response.

However, the notion of Elias being possessed wasn't entirely off the mark. Unbeknownst to him, he had willingly succumbed to the art of hypnosis. The hypnotist had skillfully interwoven Rosie into the man's memories, prompting him to accept her.

"I'd rather not tell you. Isn't this a positive development?" She grinned before sauntering into the villa, leaving Taylor in bewilderment.

Meanwhile, Yacob had successfully sneaked into the grand Lawrence Estate under the guise of a gardener, tending to flowers and clearing weeds. Yet, this wasn't his primary objective-his foremost task was safeguarding Aiden.

However, two days had passed, and he hadn't caught sight of the little guy anywhere within the sprawling

estate.

Since the previous incident, Symeon had relocated Aiden to another villa. Hence, Yacob had to search relentlessly.

While clearing the weeds with a fellow gardener, Yacob asked, "Do you know where the master's illegitimate son might be?"

The gardener eyed him warily before responding. "What are you getting at? It's wise not to delve into the master's private matters. You might end up losing your job."

Yacob offered a knowing smile as he lit a cigarette. Im not prving Tve just heard of the master & fondnes for the little guy My concern is that if the boy happens to venture into my working area to play and I fail to recognize him, any mishap would undoubtedly lead to my undoing. Wouldn't the master be furious?

His explanation seemed to allay the gardener's concerns since this apprehension was natural in their line

of work.

Meanwhile, similar concerns were shared by all servants within the Lawrence Estate. They feared that serving Aiden inadequately might lead to Symeon's punishment. Thus, word had spread that catering the little guy was no trifling task.

Then, the gardener patted Yacob's shoulder and reassured him, "Don't sweat it too much. Just keep your distance when you encounter Mr. Aiden. Even if a mishap occurs, it won't be pinned on you. Moreover, he hardly ever ventures into our area. So, don't worry."

Just then, a car slowly passed by their vicinity. The gardener pointed and informed, "See that car? It's the one that fetches Mr. Aiden to and from school every day."

Following his gesture, Yacob's gaze settled on the car heading toward Villa No. 1. Suddenly, he said, "Oh, my stomach's acting up. I need a bathroom break. Can you cover for me for a while?" Then he grimaced in discomfort.

"You're full of excuses as always. Hurry, though, my shift is almost over," the gardener grumbled. "Okay, I'll be right back."
