Loving You In Secret novel Chapter 1518

"You're severing ties to protect your individual futures, right?" Saul smiled.

Vicky's expression was aloof, and she remained silent.

"Old Mister Hart and I go back a long way," Saul remarked casually as he sipped his water. "I've been retired for many years now. I wouldn't have come if that wasn't the case."

Vicky was not particularly surprised by that.

Saul continued, "This time, it took a significant price to persuade me... We made an agreement back then. After I conducted one hypnosis session for him, we'll never have any contact again."

"For him?" Vicky finally regained her focus. "Old Mister Hart also underwent hypnosis?"

Saul did not answer the question directly. Lost in reminiscence, a hint of melancholy emerged in his eyes. "In his younger days, he had a childhood friend he grew up with... Everyone thought they'd get married, and even he himself wished for that. That's when the temptation of inheriting the Hart family hit him. You can't have the best of both worlds. At the time, he was torn between the desire for inheriting the family legacy and marrying his childhood sweetheart... After all, he was still young back then, far from being as cold-hearted as he is now. His childhood friend, of course, understood his character and ambitions, so she suggested hypnosis herself. If he forgot about her, he'd be able to pursue his aspirations without hesitation. If he ended up regaining his memories after that, they could still be together."

Vicky's interest was piqued and asked, "Did Old Mister Hart forget about his fiance in the end?"

"He did." Saul spoke candidly about Old Mister Hart's romantic history with a hint of mockery. "How else could he have such a splendid life now?"

"And what happened after that?"

"After that?" Saul mused.

"Did he ever regain his memories?"

"I don't know, but it doesn't matter anymore. Since the day he chose to undergo hypnosis, he made his decision."
