Everett's hand instinctively moved to his chest. How could he love Selena when he didn't even know what love really meant? Was letting go the only way forward? Leaning back in his chair, Everett pondered deeply, his voice a low murmur, "What if I'm just a man without a heart?" Dr. Stone raised an eyebrow in surprise. "How can someone be without a heart?" Everett chuckled, tapping his chest. "I've got an artificial heart here. It's mechanical." "Since the surgery, I've felt disconnected from everything, emotionally numb. Only when I'm with Selena do I feel the slightest flicker of emotion. I'm not sure what to make of it." Dr. Stone, familiar with the cutting-edge artificial heart technology Callum's medical team was developing, was surprised to learn Everett had not only adopted it but also succeeded with it.
She was in awe of the marvels of modern medicine and found herself intrigued by the idea of awakening a mechanical heart to love. After all, Al was constantly learning human skills. Maybe one day, it could learn emotions too.
With a gentle smile, Dr. Stone suggested, "Mr. Everett, if you're open to it, hypnosis could be an option." "Hypnosis?" Everett echoed, curious.
"Hypnosis is my specialty. I can't spark emotions in your artificial heart, but I can hypnotize your brain to deeply love Ms. Selena." He had heard of hypnosis's power before but never realized it had cthis far.
If he could "love" Selena and be with her again, maybe they could heal each other. In time, he might not even need hypnosis to feel love for her.

Changing brain patterns isn't easy, and we need to take it step by step. The first few sessions would gradually build up to a final, deep-set hypnosis that could last for years." She paused, then added, "But Mr. Everett, you should know that any treatment can have side effects. Forced hypnosis, if unsuccessful might lead to even greater memory confusion and potentially a worse outcthan what you're experiencing now. So, take your tto consider it."
As Everett left the clinic, his phone buzzed. The screen showed a call from Carolina. He frowned slightly before picking up.
Carolina's voice cthrough, "Everett, don't forget about dinner tonight with Ms.
Joy and Ann to discuss your wedding plans with Joy." "You've put it off long enough. I
know you're busy, so I've stepped in as your mom to keep things moving. Tonight's a good dhance to iron out any issues with Joy's brother. We're family; there's no room for grudges." Everett ended the call, climbed into his car, and rubbed his tired forehead.
Alex, glancing at his boss through the rearview mirror, couldn't quite read he asked his thoughts. Hesitantly, he "Mr. Everett, should wet should we head to the dinner? Everett slowly opened his dark eyes, which seemed to grow darker with thought. After a moment, he parted his lips and uttered a single word, "Yes."
