Jaylene paused as her expression darkened momentarily, but she quickly put a smile back on and asked softly, “Keegan, did you remember something?”
Keegan massaged his temples as he frowned and said in a hoarse voice,” My head hurts…”
Jaylene noticed that he was resisting something mentally and quickly grabbed his arms to stop him. “Keegan, don’t think about it if your head hurts. It’ll stop hurting once you stop thinking about it.”
Keegan pushed her away and said sternly, “Don’t touch me!”
Jaylene was startled. At that moment, she thought that Keegan had regained his memory and started panicking. Suddenly, she remembered something and quickly took out a bottle of medicine from her bag, put two pills in the tea, and handed it to Keegan.
“Keegan, drink this. It’ll relieve the pain,” she said.
Aldor’s expression changed, and he rushed toward the private room.
Keegan, unable to bear the intense pain, drank it all in one gulp.
Jaylene played the tune used during the hypnosis in Keegan’s ear continuously and asked in a low voice, “Keegan, are you feeling any better? Does your head still hurt?”
As the pain subsided, Keegan lifted his head. With a blank expression, he called out, “Jaylene?”
Jaylene blushed and replied softly, “It’s me, Keegan.”
Perhaps due to the medicine’s effects, Keegan felt very weak. He leaned back and asked in a hoarse voice, “Why are you here?” “I-I saw your tweet about a hangover headache, and I got very worried.”
She then started complaining, “Stella said that she would take care of you.
Is this how she does it?”
