Hugh tried to keep his voice gentle. “Bethan, I told you- I have my reasons for keeping her here. Just trust me on this, and you’ll know the truth.”

Bethan pushed Hugh away.

Her gaze was steady and firm. “Hugh, I don’t care what your reasons are, and I don’t want to know your truth. I can’t do this. Find someone else.”

Whether Hugh wanted her to treat Megan or hypnotize her to uncover some hidden truth-she wasn’t interested, and she couldn’t agree to it.

Bethan turned and headed back to the bedroom.

Hugh called after her. “What if she’s involved in a murder case? What if she got away with it? You still won’t help?”

Bethan turned to face him. “If she’s a criminal, let the police handle it.’

Hugh saw how strongly she opposed this.

1. I’m not going to force you.”

He gently grabbed her wrist. “Your blood sugar drops easily. Eat something before you go lie down.”

They finished dinner together. Hugh retreated to his study, and Bethan returned to the bedroom.

All night, Hugh paced alone in his study.

If Bethan wouldn’t agree to hypnotize Megan, he’d have to find another way. But he didn’t want to drag this out any longer.

Bethan tossed and turned, unable to sleep.

Hugh’s words from tonight kept spinning through her mind.

Suddenly, she had an idea. Bethan sat up in bed.

At 2 AM, Bethan got out of bed barefoot and knocked on Hugh’s study door.

There they stood-Bethan outside the study door, Hugh in/side.

“I can treat Megan,” Bethan said. “I can hypnotize her too. But I have a condition.”

She couldn’t be so stubborn about this. Hypnosis was a legitimate treatment method. If Hugh was telling the truth and Megan really was hiding something, she’d be doing a good deed.

This way, Megan could get treatment, Hugh could get his truth, and she could get her divorce. Win-win-win.

Hugh’s expression didn’t look hopeful. “What condition?”

“You divorce me, and I’ll agree to take Megan as my patient.”

Hugh’s face darkened bit by bit.

He looked down at Bethan’s bare feet.

Hugh stepped forward, scooped her up in one arm, carried her straight into the master bedroom, and tossed

her onto the bed.

Bethan rolled over and scrambled to the other side of the

Hugh’s face was stormy as he grabbed the comforter and threw it over her head. “Want a divorce? In your dreams.”

By the time Bethan pulled the blanket off her head, Hugh had already left the bedroom.

The next morning, Hugh found Bethan making breakfast in the kitchen-which was rare.

When Bethan saw Hugh getting ready to leave, she quickly rushed over to stop him. “Skipping breakfast is bad for your stomach. I made you breakfast. Eat first, then go.”

Hugh stood there, his expression cold. “What do you want?”

Bethan said, “What I told you last night-just think it over again.”

Hugh pushed past her. “Go eat your food.”

Bethan grabbed Hugh’s arm, trying to convince him. “Hugh, I’m not trying to scare you. You finally found true love-you should cherish her. If Megan’s insomnia Continues, it’ll seriously mess up her health.

“First, her temper will get worse and she won’t be able to take care of that fake son of yours. Then she’ll get headaches, memory loss, trouble focusing. It can cause heart disease, stomach problems, higher risk of diabetes, increased cancer, and also-”

“And you need to shut up.”

Hugh clamped his hand over Bethan’s mouth, scooped her up by the waist, and carried her straight into the kitchen.

The second he set her down, he pulled the door shut behind him-locking her inside.

Bethan immediately tried the handle.

Hugh gripped it from the outside, holding it firm.

“Hugh!” Bethan pounded on the door. “You’ve already gone ninety-nine steps for Megan-just one more and you’ll have everything! Listen to me. If you agree to the divorce, I swear I’ll do everything in my power to help her. I’ll do the hypnosis sessions myself-as many as you need. I’ll give you a discount, even for free!”

Hugh spoke slowly, his voice ice-cold. “Say one more word of this bullshit, and I’ll strangle you.”

Bethan grabbed the apron and covered her mouth.

After watching Hugh leave, Bethan let out a long breath.

If Megan’s insomnia was really that bad, Hugh would definitely feel sorry for that woman.

As long as he cared about Megan, sooner or later he’d give in and agree to the divorce.

That afternoon, Bethan left Keating Mansion and stopped by the grocery store to pick up some things for her parents before heading over to visit them.

A neighbor told Bethan her parents were taking a walk in the community park, so she set down her things and went to find them.

From a distance, she spotted her parents chatting with3æ6

group of elderly folks who were watching their grandkids.

Bethan was smiling, about to walk over and say hello, when she heard an older woman holding her granddaughter ask her parents, “I heard your daughter’s a doctor. How old is she? Is she married?”

Vincent and Miranda exchanged an awkward glance. Miranda said, “Twenty-six. She’s married.”

Another elderly man chimed in, “How old’s the kid?”

Miranda looked down. “She’s busy with work. No kids

yet.”

Bethan watched her parents awkwardly excuse themselves from the crowd.

She saw her father walking with his shoulders slumped, his back hunched in defeat. She saw her mother duck into a corner, quietly wiping away tears. Bethan’s eyes stung with emotion.

Her nose burned with the threat of tears. She couldn’t take it anymore and turned to leave.
