Spoiled by the CEO after amnesia!-Chapter 685 - 665: The First Hypnosis (Part 2)

"In layman’s terms, that is correct, but from a scientific perspective, it’s more complex and detailed."

"Ah, I see, so the so-called love at first sight isn’t just some hormonal mystery, it could be that in a previous life the two bodies carrying brain waves already knew each other?"

An Haokang couldn’t help but curve his lips into a smile as he saw her like a curious baby, far from resembling the wife of a mayor. Noticing she seemed eager to ask more, he interrupted, "Mrs. Huo is here for treatment, not to delve into past and present lives. Perhaps we should get started now. Besides, I remember Mayor Huo instructed me not to discuss anything beyond your condition with you."

Jiayi couldn’t help but pout, thinking that man really was something, even setting these rules for her own medical consultation.

It wasn’t easy to meet an interesting doctor, and he wouldn’t even let her ask more questions.

But that’s okay, there’s plenty of time ahead.

Just like Dr. An said, even if hypnosis helps with memory recovery, it’s not something that can be healed in a day or two.

She nodded, "Alright."

An Haokang had Jiayi sit on the couch and adjusted her into a comfortable arc, instructing her to close her eyes.

Jiayi, despite being mentally prepared, felt somewhat inexplicably nervous at the moment.

"Breathe deeply and gently, there’s no rush, and there’s no need to force yourself to sleep. Imagine yourself on a beach, alone, with the wind in your ears, and in this moment, you are the only person between heaven and earth."

The voice of An Haokang carried a professional charm, deep, steady, and profound.

"The year that you want to remember but can’t is the place you are about to visit."

"Don’t rush, first go to the part of that year that you loved the most, that you are most willing to embrace..."

Today was just an introductory probe, the most superficial level of hypnosis.

The main objective was to test the endurance of the mayor’s wife.

Everyone has different levels of susceptibility to hypnosis.

People who are unwilling, defensive, and deeply guarded aren’t easy to hypnotize, and even if they are, the effect might not be very good.

The more open and unguarded one is, the deeper they can be hypnotized.

Jiayi followed Dr. An’s instructions step by step and entered a meditative state.

The feeling of hypnosis was peculiar.

After closing her eyes, for a long time, all she saw was darkness, just like when one normally sleeps.

Gradually, light started to seep in, bit by bit, spreading more and more.

The scenery ahead seemed veiled in mist, indistinct and faintly visible.

She heard a voice beside her ear, as if guiding her to boldly continue moving forward.

With each step forward, the mist began to disperse, and her vision became clearer.

Finally, she opened a door standing in her way.

With a creak, the door opened, and brightness rushed towards her.

Like the fierce sun casting on her face, Jiayi found it blinding and instinctively raised her arm to shield her face.

The light was too fierce, she dared not open her eyes, and could only glimpse the vague scene through her fingers.

It was a beach, a red carpet stretching for miles, covering the ground under the sky.

Guests gathered on the beach, dressed to the nines, appearing to be the glossy elite of the business world.

Each held a drink, faces showing surprise and excitement, their gazes converging on the stage.

It was a grand outdoor banquet.

However, the scene was silent.

She could see, but not hear anything.

On the stage of the banquet.

The emcee’s mouth opened and closed, saying something excitedly.

Then, she vaguely saw a familiar, tall figure in a black tailcoat.

It was him.

Although the image was blurry, she could still make out that it was him.

The crowd dispersed.

A delicate figure was revealed among the people, her silhouette panicked, timid, clearly trembling, as if she couldn’t believe what she was seeing.

The man on stage, seeing that she wasn’t moving, strode down deliberately and slipped a sparkling ring, which shone even from a distance, onto her finger.

The petite silhouette had drunk too much, her strength failing her, and she almost immediately fainted into the man’s arms.

He quickly picked up the little person and, under the surprised and admiring gazes of everyone at the banquet, he walked toward the beach villa at the back of the event.

Jiayi’s heart was pounding fiercely.

That delicate figure, it wasn’t someone else, it was herself.

...

Voices drifted to her ears.

She jolted, and the brightness in front of her eyes suddenly dimmed as if a light had been turned off, then the scenery rapidly rolled back—

Her eyelashes trembled heavily, she was breathing deeply, her body flipped like a carp, and she sat up from the sofa!

"Mrs. Huo."

An Haokang straightened the armchair and handed her some hot water, turned on the tape recorder, picked up the notebook, and fixed his eyes on her, ready to take notes at any moment.

The mayor’s wife was easier to treat than he had imagined, indicating that deep down she was quite receptive to treatment and had a strong determination to recover her memory.

"Did you see anything?"

Jiayi took a couple of sips of water, which soothed her a bit, and then described the scenes she had seen to An Haokang.

She had only glimpsed a few fragments, lasting only a few seconds in total, but when she looked at the wall clock, the entire hypnosis session had actually gone on for more than half an hour.

Even now, her heart was still fluttering, and the sweat had not completely dried; she finally understood why An Haokang had said the hypnosis process might be very hard.

It wasn’t physically taxing, but the psychological impact was significant.

The scene in the hypnosis, undeniably, was from over four years ago, the scene of her engagement to him.

It was the occasion Auntie Li had mentioned, Huo Group’s annual celebration.

All present were subsidiaries and business partners of the Huo Group in G City.

She involuntarily clenched the corner of her clothes.

So, was that day her happiest time four years ago?

Was it true that when she was by his side that year, she had experienced real joy?

The scene was far away, yet she saw clearly that at the moment of the proposal, despite being overwhelmed, the excitement and anticipation in her eyes couldn’t lie.

An Haokang saw she was a bit out of it and knew she had not completely snapped out of the hypnosis—this was normal for a patient.

Mrs. Huo’s performance today was unexpectedly good.

Many patients during their first hypnotherapy session could only hear noise and were entirely unable to see such complete images.

He didn’t ask further, closed his notebook, "Mrs. Huo, please go home and rest. You can return for your next appointment at the scheduled time." 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺

Escorted by An Haokang’s secretary, Jiayi descended in the elevator.

When she stepped out of the Yuehao Hotel, she was still pondering the hypnosis, unable not to marvel at the greatness of modern psychological medicine.

It wasn’t until the breeze outside blew that she lifted her head and approached the car that Ade had driven her in.

As she casually opened the car door, she heard a familiar, deep voice from the front, "Come sit in the front."

Jiayi, already somewhat distracted, got scared, and once she clearly saw the man in the driver’s seat, she asked, "You... How did you get here? Aren’t you supposed to be at the city hall? Where’s Ade?"

Huo Zhenyang was sitting in the driver’s seat, his long fingers resting on the steering wheel, he looked indifferently at the woman in the rearview mirror.

"work was light today, so I came back early. I sent Ade away already."
