Coolest Girl in Town (Elise and Alexander) novel Chapter 550

Chapter 550 Becoming Aggressive

“I wasn’t sure of it before, but when I saw his attitude toward you, I have a rough idea what happened.” Alexander analyzed the situation, sounding thoughtful. “Claude has probably been hypnotized.”

“Hypnotized?” Elise spun her head and glanced at Claude. “He’s just a doctor who’s only saving lives and isn’t threatening. What’s the point of hypnotizing him?”

“Leaving the sick untreated is a way of causing destruction as well,” Alexander said calmly.

At first, Elise was stunned, then she gradually understood what he meant by that.

The only person who could perform a surgery on Trevor now was Claude. If he was unwilling, it would only spell death for Trevor. With a sigh, she wondered if it would be possible to find a hypnotist to undo the hypnotism on Claude.

Reading her mind, Alexander explained before she said anything, “In hypnotism, every hypnotic master uses a different technique, and we need to find the person who hypnotized him in the first place in order to fully undo the hypnotism. If it is forced, the mind of the hypnotized person might be damaged.”

“In other words, if we don’t know who hypnotized Claude back then, he’ll continue to treat us as his enemies,” Elise concluded helplessly.

“That’s the case, basically,” he replied.

Elise didn’t know whether she should laugh or cry in this situation. “Who would let someone who regards them as his enemies stick around? Think about it. Life would be chaos, then!”

“But are you okay to let him wander around outside like this?” Alexander asked.

Her heart softened, and she sighed. “Forget it. Let your man guard him, then,” she said, holding her forehead. Recalling the reminder from Kenneth yesterday, she changed the topic directly. “Recently, I’ve been too passive, and I plan to create a big ruckus to draw the snake out of its nest. What do you think?”

“I’ll definitely support all of your decisions.” After that, Alexander chuckled and teased, “Haven’t you always hated troubles? Why are you taking the initiative to create one now?”

Shrugging, she answered, “It’s true that I don’t want any trouble, but I’ve figured out something. If I don’t eliminate those people who are making trouble in the dark, there will be no end to this. Like an endless bushfire, it will reignite with the slightest wind. So, I might as well find the source and rip it out by the roots. Only then will it solve all my problems at once. Am I right?”

After she finished analyzing seriously, she turned to him and saw that there was an unreadable look in his gaze as he looked at her.

Although he was wearing a smile, and she could see the love in his eyes, there was also a hint of surprise in them. It was as though he felt she was not the original Elise.

“Why are you looking at me like that?” she asked, embarrassed.

He grinned, and his thick brows raised. “I’m just thinking: Since when did my Ellie become so aggressive? The decisiveness you showed when you decided to rip out the roots of this problem made me think that a woman may not lose to a man.”

Her eyes rolled around guiltily. “Is that so? I didn’t have that feeling. Maybe I just became more mature, and so my thoughts went a level higher.”

Alexander nodded in agreement. “That’s true. I really like the way you are now. There’s nothing you, my fiancée, cannot do. Ellie, as long as it’s something you want to do, I’ll get it done for you.”

Pursing her lips, Elise snickered and deliberately put on a serious face as she spoke, sounding unconvinced. “Who says I need your help? Does it mean that I can’t do anything without you?”

Amused, Alexander chuckled. “I was too abrupt. You’re formidable and incredibly talented. My existence is just the icing on the cake and can’t be compared to you.”
