Unmasking Mrs. Newton's Secret Identities novel Chapter 1064

"I wasn't sure before, but seeing Shawn's attitude toward you has clarified things," Chandler said thoughtfully. "It seems he's been hypnotized."

"Hypnotized?" Helen asked, casting a glance at Shawn. "He's just a doctor who saves lives. Why would anyone bother hypnotizing him?"

"Turning a blind eye to someone in need is a form of harm in itself," Chandler said coldly.

Helen was momentarily stunned but quickly understood the gravity of his words.

Ultimately, Shawn was the only one capable of performing the surgery on Cameron. If he declined to assist, Cameron would have no chance of survival.

Helen sighed, contemplating the possibility of finding a skilled hypnotist to reverse the effects.

Reading her thoughts, Chandler explained, "Hypnosis techniques can differ significantly among practitioners.

"To fully reverse it, we would need to locate the original hypnotist. Only they can completely undo the effects. Attempting to break the hypnosis forcefully could cause serious mental damage."

"So, if we can't identify who hypnotized Shawn, are we stuck with him seeing us as enemies?" Helen asked, her voice tinged with resignation.

"That's pretty much the situation," Chandler confirmed.

Helen's expression shifted to one of both amusement and frustration. "Who would want to keep someone around who sees them as an enemy? Just think of the chaos that could follow!"

"Well then, are you okay with letting him wander around like this?" Chandler asked.

Helen's resolve softened immediately. She sighed and rubbed her forehead. "Alright, fine. Have your men keep a close watch on him for now."

"Why are you looking at me like that?" Helen asked, feeling a touch self-conscious.

Chandler's lips curled into a faint smile, and his thick eyebrows arched in amusement. "I was just curious when you became so assertive and decisive. It's as though you've truly embraced the idea that a woman can be just as formidable as a man."

Helen shifted her gaze, feeling slightly uneasy. "Is that so? I hadn't really noticed. Maybe I've just matured and my perspective has changed."

Chandler nodded enthusiastically. "Absolutely. I really like this side of you. I'm glad to have a fiancée who can achieve anything she sets her mind to. Helly, whatever you want to do, I'll always support you."

Helen responded with a faint, knowing smile before adopting a more serious expression. "Who says I need your help? Do you think I can't handle things on my own?"

Chandler chuckled at her response. "I apologize if I came off as presumptuous. You're incredibly capable and accomplished—my role is just to offer a bit of extra support. How could I possibly compare to you?"
