Shirley’s call was then heard from the inside. “Emma, Jacob, time to rest.”
“Mommy’s coming out,” Emma said nervously. Jacob quickly moved the cursor and cleared the conversation history and the message he had sent just now. He then jumped down from the chair, grabbed Emma’s hand and walked into the house. Shirley walked downstairs from the second floor. Seeing the little guys walking in from the outside, she let out a gentle smile and walked towards them. She held their hands and brought them upstairs.
After reaching the children’s room, Shirley hugged Emma and Jacob and asked, “Jacob, Emma, if mommy’s going back to China, would you want to come with me and live there?” Both kids looked at each other and nodded.
At the Airport of X Airlines in China the next day, Shirley and the kids left through the airport’s secret pathway to avoid catching any attention. She only took out her sunglasses and wore it after sending the kids into the car assigned by Mildred. She turned around and headed back into the airport once again.
Upon reaching Exit A, a black Roll-Royce car had stopped in front of the main entrance which caught the passerby’s attention. Shirley took a deep breath and quickly walked to it. A man wearing black suit went out of the car from the driver seat and asked politely, “Is this Doctor Thomas?”
“Yes, I am.” Shirley took out her working permit and handed to him. The chauffeur gave it back to her after examining it. He extended his hand and pulled the door at the back of the car open. Just then, a figure and a pair of sharp eyes abruptly went into her line of sight and caught her off guard.
Shirley slightly backed up due to shock. The man’s deep eyes were like eagles, sharp and aggressive. She could always dream of how his eyes invaded her body when he was above her every midnight…It was Bryan Moore! She never expected that he would come with the man who was sent to pick her up!
Shirley’s hand which was holding the perfume slightly froze. She turned towards the man beside her and realized he was staring at her. To be more accurate, he had been looking at her since just now. She quickly moved her eyes away and asked, “Do you have any question towards me? Mr. Moore.”
“I’m waiting for you to hypnotize me!” Didn’t the psychologists always ask him to stare at something to hypnotize him? He thought it was going to be the same this time too. Shirley shook her head and took out a bottle of transparent perfume. She said, “I never hypnotize my patients. Hypnosis only treats you temporarily but it doesn’t cure you. If you fall asleep this time, you’re gonna need the same method to make you sleep next time, also, the same trick won’t work after being used repetitively for a while.”
Bryan relaxed his wrinkled eyebrows as he heard her soft and sincere voice and he could gradually detect a faint fragrance in the air. That fragrance had made him recalled a sense of familiarity. Where had he had that kind of feeling before…
