novelGIVE MY MEMORY BACK
| ← Ch.675 | Ch.677 → |
That night, Mu Lan couldn't fall sleep. She realized after a long time that Mu Liang was sleep talking. So, she gradually relaxed her body. She kept rubbing his back all night long.
The next day, Mu Lan slipped out of the bed at dawn before Mu Liang woke up. She headed to Carlo's room and barged in there. After that, she jumped on his bed and shook him fiercely."Carl, carl, wake up. We need to talk."
Carlo was clearly having a sweet dream. However, it was interrupted by a little squirrel. The squirrel became bigger and got stronger. It fought against him like a mad man. For some reason, Carlo couldn't fight back as usual.
Realizing what was going on, Carlo grabbed his head from both side and screamed, "Alright, I get it. Shut up."
Mu Lan stopped talking. But she kept moving his body.
Carlo gritted his teeth. She was like that whenever she wanted to eat chocolate cake or ice cream when she was a kid.
'What can it this time?' His head was hurting so much that he couldn't read her mind.
He said in annoyance, "What the hell do you want? Cakes are unavailable. I don't have the ingredients."
"I don't want cakes." Mu Lan sat up on his stomach and gave a pressure.
Carlo coughed as the oxygen inside him was out of his body. He tried to get up so that Mu Lan would left his stomach."What then? Ice cream? Don't have ingredients."
"Carl!" Mu Lan gave more pressure.
"Alright! What is it you want?" Carlo rubbed his eyes and sat up with a frown on his forehead.
"Bring my memories back." Mu Lan said. She moved away from his stomach.
"Why did you come to me? Go ask Pedro to do that." He was about to lay down again.
She didn't let him."My amnesia, it's psychological, remember? Get up!" She pulled his hand.
Carlo sighed and said, "I see. Give me some time, will you?"
"How long do you need?" Mu Lan asked stubbornly.
"Let me wash up, and you should wash your teeth as well." Carlo said in a gleam tone.
Mu Lan closed her mouth and covered it with both hands.
--------
After both of them washed up, they sat on the chairs face to face in Carlo's room.
"Are you sure about this?" Carlo asked.
Mu Lan rubbed her hands."I'm definitely excited about that."
Carlo pinched in between his eyebrows."Being sure and being excited are completely different feelings."
Mu Lan shook her head."I'm not sure."
Carlo frowned and got up from the seat while saying, "Than I'm not doing it."
Mu Lan grabbed his hand."Wait, I just want to remember the time when I was with him."
Last night, she made that decision. Thinking of the pretty guy made her heart in turmoil and also Juan trusted him. She wanted to give it a try.
"It won't do. I need to find out where you put the gold key." Carlo said.
"Alright then. Bring it on." Mu Lan agreed.
Carlo pulled the curtains making the room dark. It was already morning. The sun was sweetly smiling. But inside the room, it was tensed.
He ignited several candles. After that, he sat down and looked into her eyes."First of all, hypnosis does not put you to sleep, render you unconscious, put you under someone's spell, or cause you to do anything you do not want to do. In fact, hypnosis is a state of mind where you are very focused on suggestions being made to you and you are more receptive to these suggestions. For hypnosis to be effective, you will need to have an open and uncritical attitude towards hypnosis. Avoid being resistant to the process, as the more skeptical you are, the less effective hypnosis will be on you. Do you get it?"
Mu Lan took a deep breath to calm herself and replied, "Yes."
He asked, "Are you comfortable where you are sitting? Loosen up a bit."
Mu Lan moved a little and relaxed her body.
Carlo brought one of the candles before her and said, "You have to look at the light."
Mu Lan did as he said.
Carlo said, "Hua Lan, keep looking at the candlelight. Your eyelids are becoming heavier and heavier. Your eyelids feel as if they are being pulled down by a heavy weight. Soon they will so heavy they will close."
Carlo kept repeating the same words again and again for thirty second. His tone was soothing and calm. As he said those words, Mu Lan's eyelids felt heavier and heavier and then she slowly closed her eyes.
When Carlo saw that she closed her eyes, he said, "Relax and let go."
Mu Lan completely relaxed on the chair.
Carlo then said, "Now, take a deep inhale through your nose and hold the breath for ten seconds. Then, exhale through slightly parted lips."
As Mu Lan inhaled and exhaled, she let head fall towards her chest and allowed a wave of warmth and heaviness spread from the top of her head to the tips of her toes. She breathed slowly and consistently.
Every time she exhaled, Carlo said, Calm."
After several breaths, he said the word "deeper" as she exhaled. This would allow her to go deeper into hypnosis. He also said, ""You are slowly sinking into a deeper state of relaxation."
Mu Lan followed his instruction.
After that, Carlo said, "Now count backwards from ten to one."
Mu Lan began counting, "Ten, nine, eight, seven, six five four, three two one.... Ten..."
Carlo slowly said, "Yes, continue to breathe deeply in and out, counting backwards again from ten to one."
Mu Lan did it several times as shew as instructed.
Carlo asked her, "What is your name?"
Mu Lan replied while still closing her eyes.".... Hua... Mu.... . Lan...."
Carlo asked to confirm, "Is it Hua Lan or Mu Lan?"
Mu Lan didn't answer for ten seconds. Then she replied, ".... Hua... Lan... After.... . marriage.... Mu.... Lan...."
