Dear Ex-wife Marry Me novel (Maja) novel Chapter 1784

Sarah comforted her once again at this crucial moment.

"Don't worry about it. As long as I remember the procedure, you just need to follow my lead. But try to keep it cool, will you? Mr. March is right over there watching, and you wouldn't want to make a bad impression, would you?"

If Lingery hadn't been there, Queena would have definitely suspected something off about Sarah. But with Lingery standing close by, his face so strikingly similar to Ian's, it was too much for her to handle the emotions.

She couldn't help but steal glances his way. Hearing Sarah's reassuring words, Queena felt a wave of relief wash over her.

"I got it. I'll follow your lead."

Sarah lowered her gaze, continuing to add the chemicals to the mixture. But as she was about to make the final addition, Queena grabbed her hand firmly.

With a subtle lift of her eyebrows, Sarah looked up at Queena.

It had only been half an hour since her last warning to Queena, and now it was seven in the evening. The sky held onto the last streaks of a sunset.

Queena's grip on her wrist tightened, her tone resolute.

As soon as she finished speaking, Lingery glanced over.

Queena looked towards the now empty test tube, her face darkening, "I could make a mistake, but it's impossible to get all the labels wrong. Doctor, something's definitely off with you."

Lingery approached with heavy steps, a grave look on his face, "What's going on?"

Queena pointed at a nearby drawer, "She came back with a few trinkets this morning, and since then, things have been a bit off. I'm thinking those trinkets might have jogged her memory, maybe the hypnosis isn't holding up. Could you check it out, maybe deepen the trance?"
