Too Much to Bear, My Love novel Chapter 570

Chapter 570 Putting Her Under Hypnosis

“Where’s Dad and Mom?” asked Ivan.

Amelia stared blankly at her brother. She then twitched her lips and muttered reluctantly, “Dad brought Mom to see a psychiatrist.”

“Why didn’t you stop him?” he asked angrily.

“I couldn’t… Ivan, Dad was really fierce. He not only threatened to chase me out of the house but to cut me off financially too! I don’t want to work a job that only earns me a monthly salary of three to five thousand. That meager amount isn’t even enough to buy a handbag. So-”

Ivan cut in harshly, “So, you let him take Mom away.”

Amelia burst into tears and wailed, “Ivan, I didn’t do it on purpose! I just didn’t want to get chased out of the house. The Hutton residence is my home! Without the support of the Hutton family, I won’t be able to survive in Walund.”

Ivan pressed his lips together, fuming in silence.

He clenched his fists and stared down at her angrily. “Amelia, I’m so disappointed in you.”

Hearing that, Amelia sobbed even louder. “Please don’t say that. It makes me sad to hear you say that. Why don’t I go with you to find Mom? Dad said that he wanted to use hypnosis on Mom. If she subconsciously tries to resist the hypnosis, she’ll either turn into a lunatic or a fool.”

“Let’s go,” said Ivan.

Amelia hurried behind him.

“Ivan, we’re here. Please don’t agitate Dad anymore. Otherwise, we’ll be left with nothing if he chases us out of the Hutton family.”

Ivan clenched his fist so tightly that his knuckles emitted a cracking sound. A trace of malice flashed in his eyes.

“Don’t worry. One day, the Hutton family will be under my control. I’ll protect you and Mom so that both of you won’t get hurt,” he promised.

“What are you planning to do?”

“Dad’s getting old. His mindset is too extreme, and whenever he does things, he doesn’t have a backup plan. If he continues to be in control of the company and our family, the company will go downhill. Sooner or later, he’ll drive Mom insane as well. I’m the eldest in the family, so it’s my duty to protect Mom. Not only that, I’ll make sure to provide her with the best life and environment.”

“Don’t act rashly, Ivan.”

Ivan did not reply her.

However, a plan was already forming in his mind.

He knew exactly what he should do. However, it was not time yet. Once the time was right, he vowed to land a deadly strike on his father. That way, his father would not be able to retaliate. By then, the company’s management rights would be in Ivan’s hands. With that, he would also have a say at home, and his mother would not suffer anymore.

“Are you sure?” Amelia asked.

“Amelia, our priority now is to stop Dad’s control over Mom. I hope you don’t tell him whatever I’ve told you earlier. It’s in Mom’s best interest if you don’t.”

In response, Amelia made a zipper motion across her lips.

She reassured, “Don’t worry! I promise not to breathe a word of it to anyone. Even if I die, I’ll take the secret to the grave with me!”

Ivan did not reply. He merely reached out to pat her forehead.

Both of them hurried to the psychiatric clinic. However, they were blocked by bodyguards outside.

“Mr. Ivan, Ms. Hutton, please leave. Mr. Benjamin has ordered that nobody is allowed to enter,” said one of the bodyguards expressionlessly.

Ivan wanted to barge in, but his combat skills were not on par with the bodyguard. The latter easily locked Ivan’s hands behind his back and said, “My apologies, Mr. Ivan.”

Ivan and Amelia were directly shoved into the car. The bodyguard instructed the chauffeur, “Send Mr. Ivan and Ms. Hutton back and keep watch over them. They aren’t allowed to leave the mansion without Mr. Benjamin’s orders.”

“Yes, I will.”

The siblings were then sent back to the mansion. Around ten extra bodyguards appeared at the door. They stood at every possible exit in the mansion, preventing any attempt by the siblings to sneak out.

When they reached the bedroom, Amelia stomped her foot in frustration. “Ivan, what should we do? Dad doesn’t allow us to see Mom at all. I think he’s serious this time. He wants to drive Mom crazy.”

Ivan had a dark expression on his face. He was so frustrated that he punched the wall three times consecutively.

“Ivan, stop! Don’t do that!”

“I want you to leave. I need some time to think things through,” said Ivan.

Amelia moved her lips as if to speak, but no words came. In the end, she said dejectedly, “Okay, I’ll leave. Don’t overthink things. Maybe Dad simply brought Mom to her attending psychiatrist for a chat. Don’t worry, it’ll be all right.”

Seeing Ivan ignoring her, Amelia looked crestfallen. She hung her head, and her shoulders slumped as she left the room.

She went back to her room and flopped onto her bed in frustration. However, after a few seconds, she sat upright abruptly.

As if she had just made a decision, she fished out her phone and dialed a number.

“Amy,” Amelia choked out.
