The Newlywed's Sweet Honey: Husband, Pamper Me to the Bone!-Chapter 1001: Obsession (15)

Qiao Yebai sighed deeply, "But continuing like this isn’t a solution. Either you harden your heart and let her endure the headache episodes repeatedly... With time, maybe she can overcome the power of hypnosis."

Yan Sijue’s hands clenched tightly, his voice hoarse, "You’ve seen what she’s like during an episode. Can you bear it?"

Qiao Yebai silently shook his head after a long time.

Actually, at that moment, he understood why Yan Sijue dared not stay by her side anymore.

Seeing Yiliang suffering because of him, this man would probably rather die at her hands.

"So what now? What are you planning to do?" Qiao Yebai glanced at him.

Yan Sijue smiled faintly, "As long as she completes the task, the hypnosis will be lifted, right?"

"Yes, that’s what Master Chen said." Qiao Yebai finished speaking, his expression suddenly changed, "What are you going to do?"

"Last time, she thought she had poisoned me, so I faked my death in front of her." Yan Sijue’s voice was bitter, "She thought I was dead, and then the headache struck. But I couldn’t bear to see her in so much pain, so I gave up."

Qiao Yebai frowned slightly, "If you had kept pretending that time, she might have returned to normal."

Yan Sijue shook his head gently, his eyes darkened, "I don’t know. Even if she could recover, she would experience extreme pain before that, possibly more intense than any previous attack."

"But if she could recover after that, then it would be worth it. It’s better than her having episodes now and then," Qiao Yebai pondered, "Do you want to fake your death again?"

"No, she wouldn’t lay a hand on me now," Yan Sijue’s smile was somewhat complicated.

Qiao Yebai sighed, "I wouldn’t mind letting her stay with me, but she wouldn’t want to. You know how stubborn this woman is to the core; she’s never been an obedient person."

Yan Sijue pressed his lips tightly together, his look deep and dark, pondering in silence.

...

On the other side, Mu Yiliang was swimming in the pool with Xiaoze.

The city of X, located in the south at a lower latitude, remained hot even at the end of August.

After her midday nap, Mu Yiliang was pulled to the swimming pool by Xiaoze.

She sat by the pool in her swimsuit, draped a towel over herself, watching Xiaoze swim back and forth in the water.

After a while, Xiaoze seemed to find swimming alone boring, swam to the edge and poked his head out, "Mommy, why aren’t you getting in the water?"

Mu Yiliang shook her head, "No, I don’t have the strength to swim."

Her headache had acted up in the morning, and although she had napped, she still felt listless.

Qiao Yebai had filled her days so fully these past days that she had no time to let her thoughts wander. But how could she possibly not think about Yan Sijue?

Because he didn’t want to see her in the throes of a headache, he was unwilling to stay by her side. But if this situation couldn’t change, would he never appear in front of her again?

Mu Yiliang looked at the clear, rippling surface of the water, stirring it absentmindedly, her mood growing inexplicably heavy.

Seeing that she didn’t want to get in the water, Xiaoze went back to playing on his own.

Mu Yiliang watched her son’s frolicking figure, let out a faint sigh, and stood up, "Xiaoze, are you okay by yourself?"

"I’m fine, mommy, you can go back and rest." He waved her away.

Knowing the pool was only 1.4 meters deep, Mu Yiliang wasn’t worried about Xiaoze getting into trouble, so she stood up and returned to the villa.
