Chapter 1993
Aurora's thoughts were swirling as she drove, 'Keegan's amnesia was Jaylene's doing, and she even
fed him banned drugs. He had been pretending all along.' She glanced at Aldor in the rearview mirror,
and her mind raced with questions, 'Had Aldor known about this? Were they underestimating her, or
had they simply never taken her seriously?'
As Aurora drove a bit too fast, Jaylene frowned uncomfortably. Worried she might vomit in the car,
Aldor quickly grabbed a plastic bag for her.
In her drunken state, Jaylene leaned toward Aldor, whispering, "Keegan..."
Aldor stiffened and corrected her gently, "Ms. Saun, you're mistaken."
But she persisted, her voice tinged with emotion, "Keegan, I've liked you since childhood. Do you feel

Caught off guard, Aldor responded awkwardly, "I... suppose?"
Jaylene's smile brightened, "I knew it. We've known each other since we were kids. How could you not
have feelings for me?"
Playing along, Aldor said, "Yes," to keep her calm.
Gripping the steering wheel tighter, Aurora shot a quick glance at them through the rearview mirror.
"Keegan... Keegan..." Jaylene murmured, suddenly embracing Aldor and planting a kiss on his cheek.
Aurora's frustration was palpable. Aldor, taken aback, recoiled, hitting his head on the window.
Eventually, Jaylene drifted off to sleep.
Stella asked with concern, "Aldor, are you alright?"
Rubbing his head, Aldor reassured her, "I'm fine."
Aurora braked sharply, unable to contain her irritation. This caused Jaylene's head to bump against the
seat.
Keegan frowned and reprimanded, "Can you drive more carefully?"
Aurora bit her lip, a storm of emotions churning within her before forcing herself to calm down.
Soon, they arrived at another villa owned by Keegan. After they got Jaylene into the villa and into a
room, another car arrived at the villa's entrance. A mixed-race man, slightly older than Keegan, with a
friendly and refined demeanor, got out. Keegan introduced him as York Cooper, a renowned hypnotist.
Keegan spoke with York in a universally recognized language before sending the others out of the
room.
Stella protested, but Keegan explained, "Hypnosis requires a quiet environment, and you're still dealing
with morning sickness. What if you start vomiting at a critical moment?" 1

York handed Keegan a glass of prepared water, instructing him to make Jaylene drink it. A skilled
hypnotist did not necessarily need drugs. But with Jaylene's involuntary hypnosis, mental resistance
was likely, making the use of a mild drug advisable. 1
While waiting for the drug to take effect, Keegan discussed with York about Raynard, who had
previously hypnotized him. York was initially reluctant, agreeing to come only out of obligation.
However, after learning that Jaylene's machinations had hypnotized Keegan, York's reluctance
vanished.
The strict standards of domestic medicine did not bind York. His approach was more flexible as long as
he did not harm anyone.
"It turns out Dr. Stone and you are from the same academic lineage. I checked his overseas credentials
and found that he studied at the same university as you. You were even in the same cohort," Keegan
remarked.
