Chapter 12
Myla’s voice was soft and slow, each word entering Elijah’s ears as if trying to penetrate his mind, guiding his thoughts.
“Elijah, you no longer love Anna, you now love Myla. The reason you are so miserable now is simply because you cannot accept that Anna has. passed away.”
“As long as you could accept the fact that she passed away, you would be able to free yourself from your pain. Rest assured, I will be by your side in the future, I will heal you, and I will always be with you.”
“Elijah, Anna has already died… you didn’t love her anymore…”
With each word she uttered, Elijah’s tightly closed eyelids began to tremble, as if she could not accept what she was saying, struggling to wake up.
“How could this happen… It was going so smoothly before…”
Myla’s forehead broke out in a cold sweat as she repeated it over and over again.
However, the more she repeated, the more Elijah’s eyelids trembled.
Myla widened her eyes, still trying to continue, but Elijah suddenly opened his eyes.
She fell into a pair of icy eyes in an instant.
Later, with empty hands, the pocket watch fell into Elijah’s hands.
Chapter 12
Myla trembled uncontrollably.
He looked at the small lady’s pocket watch, his eyes dark and unclear.
Something in my mind seemed to clear a fog and suddenly burst out.
He suddenly realized something and looked up at her, asking, “What are you doing?”
Myla’s face was pale, her lips trembling slightly, as she tried to stay calm: “You drank too much, I wanted to help you upstairs to rest, and then you suddenly woke up…”
He raised his hand and his fingers landed on her chin, gently caressing it.
Myla felt isolated as if a knife was pressed against her chin, ready to cut her deeply at any moment.
Elijah bent down to look at her and asked, “Why are you trembling? Are you so afraid of me?”
Myla shook her head and forced a faint smile, “No… no, I’m just a little cold.”
The temperature inside the house was indeed very low.
Elijah was afraid that something might happen to Anna’s body, so he not only prepared an ice coffin for her, but also kept the air conditioning on in the villa 24 hours a day, with the temperature even set very low.
Elijah seemed to truly believe her words, playing with the pocket watch in his hand, his tone friendly: “So, what’s the deal with this pocket watch? Explain.”
Myla knelt beside him, carefully opening her mouth: “It’s just a regular decorative pocket watch, nothing special.”

“Is it?” Elijah looked at her with a smile that was not a smile, and then his eyes suddenly turned cold. In the next moment, he viciously smashed the pocket watch on the ground.
Bang!
The pocket watch suddenly fell apart into four or five pieces.
“Ah!” Myla screamed in fright, instinctively getting up and running towards the door, but before she could move, Elijah grabbed her body.
The man roughly grabbed her hair and pulled it back forcefully.
Myla only felt her scalp numb with pain, and she screamed in panic.
She suddenly felt a sharp pain and tears welled up in her eyes. She couldn’t bear to lie anymore and panicked, shouting, “I was wrong, I was wrong! Please don’t hit me! I just didn’t want to see you suffering with a corpse all the time, I just wanted to ease your pain. I didn’t do anything
just wanted to give you a hint to accept that Anna is really dead,
all, I swear!”
Elijah had a strong desire for control and paranoia, but he absolutely hated being controlled by others.
He never thought that someone would dare to try to control his mind.
Looking at Myla, tears streaming down her face, Elijah smiled and said, “You have a lot of courage.”
Myla had no idea why hypnosis had gone so smoothly before, but this time Elijah just abruptly woke up.
However, now she was caught red–handed on the spot, with no other choice but to cry and beg for mercy: “Elijah, everything I did was just because I love you too much. I couldn’t bear to see you sad all the time, so
Chapter 12
I wanted to help you let go sooner. Believe me, everything I did was for your own good.”
She swore desperately, looking pitifully, trying her best to make Elijah believe her actions.
Elijah neither said he believed nor disbelieved.
He let go of her and sat down directly on the sofa.
Myla dared not run around, trying to figure out his thoughts, carefully crawling towards him, lying on his legs, and softly saying, “Elijah, I know you can’t bear to part with Ms. Legrand, but she has passed away, the dead cannot be brought back to life, the living must continue to live well, In the future, I will replace Ms. Legrand and love you well by your side.“.
She looked up at him, promising sincerely word by word.
Elijah’s gaze swept over her face, but ultimately landed on the shattered pocket watch on the ground.
The next moment, Myla heard Elijah’s icy voice: “Myla, how many times have you hypnotized me?”
