“I’m indeed telling you the truth, but that doesn’t really matter. Anyway, there is something I want to ask you. Is a hypnotist capable of causing chest pain to their target?” Toby asked, staring at Kurtis. Kurtis responded with a low hum. “Would you mind telling me more about it, President Fuller?” “Sure.” Toby nodded. “I believe you can still remember how I described my fiancée to you, as well as the promises I made that I would protect and love her, right?” “Of course!” Kurtis nodded. Toby’s face darkened. “Here is what happened. In the past two days, I realized I felt intense chest pain when I didn’t do as I promised.”

 

“I see. Well, that was indeed a hypnotist’s doing, but I want you to know that the pain you felt wasn’t real. In fact, it was more like a psychological pain,” Kurtis looked at him and replied. “A psychological pain…” Toby looked down in a preoccupied manner. “So, you’re saying the pain that I felt was caused by my mind and subconsciousness?” “Exactly. Hypnotists may be good with what they do, but they are no gods, which makes it impossible for them to control anyone’s pain reception. In fact, this is one of the ways to hypnotize a person, and it’s called the ideomotor phenomenon, which only works on your mental consciousness.

In your case, whoever did this to you just wants you to love your fiancée. If you don’t do as instructed, you will suffer from intense chest pain.” Toby clenched his fists so hard that a popping sound could be heard from his finger joints. “I see. Can you undo it?” “I doubt I can. After all, I failed to even detect his hypnotist’s influence in the first place, so I don’t think I can rid you of those effects. Therefore, I can only say that whoever did this to you was super talented and… young! Wow! I can’t believe that there’s someone so good hiding among us!” Kurtis exclaimed. After hearing the doctor’s reply, Toby had his face darkened. When Kurtis noticed that, he chuckled in embarrassment.

one that you truly love instead of the one you’re hypnotized to love?” “Yeah.” Toby nodded. Kurtis pondered for a short while and replied, “Well, maybe it’s a miracle. In fact, hypnotism has its fair share of limits, even though it may be able to do a lot of wonders. Sometimes, the power of love is far beyond one can imagine. Thanks to your

Thus, I can’t help but feel disgusted to see him show me his fake sympathy now. At the thought of that, Toby told himself that he mustn’t let Tim know that someone hypnotized him because he feared that Tina could do the same thing and enslave him to love her. Therefore, he swore to

At the sight of Toby’s response, Tim smiled and said, “I may be a physician, but I’m also a brain and psychology specialist, so do you think I wouldn’t be able to tell that

Guess how she answered.” While Toby’s face turned more and more glacial, Tim went on and revealed the answer before he could say anything. “She said no because she was confident that you
