Chapter 762

Jackson folded his arms behind his head as he followed them out.

After Shane put Natalie in the passenger seat, he did not drive away. Instead, he sat by her side and
watched her quietly as he waited for her to wake up.

Before long, an hour flew by, and she was awake, just as Stanley said.

Seeing him looking at herself, she thought she must be dreaming, so she rubbed her eyes a few times
and found that he was still there. Only then did she realize that she was fully conscious at the moment.

“Why are you here?” she inquired, baffled.

A second later, it dawned on her that she was in his car, and she became even more puzzled.

Wasn’t I in Stanley’s office? I’m supposed to be hypnotized by him, but why am I with Shane now?

Just then, something popped into her mind. She flicked Shane a glance. “Did you bring me out of
Stanley’s office?”

He pursed his lips and questioned back, “Why did you go and meet him?”

“It’s none of your business.”

Enraged, he clenched his fists and snapped, “How is that not my business? Do you know that he would
have taken advantage of you if I didn’t go to you in time?”

“That’s impossible!” Natalie objected immediately.

He let out a scoff. “How so? Do you remember what he did to you before?”



Stumped by his question, she blinked and lowered her head. “Yes, but the past is in the past. It’s
different this time.”

“Go on. Tell me what the difference is,” he huffed. “The only possible reason he hypnotized you is…”

“I was the one who asked him to do that.” She cut him off.

Shane was dumbstruck. “What? You asked him to hypnotize you?”

“Yes.”

A deep frown formed on his face. “Why? Give me a reason.”

Heaving a sigh, she massaged her temples. “I’ve been having headaches these few days, but it’s
particularly painful today. So I came here to let Stanley check on me. He said that there was nothing
wrong with my brain, so he suspected that it might have something to do with my memory, and that
was why I asked him to hypnotize me.”

I see. That explains why there was a CT film on his desk.

Shane’s anger dissipated substantially after hearing her explanation, and his voice softened. “Why
didn’t you tell me about your headaches?”

“Why would I? How can I expect you to care about me when our relationship is so strained?” She
scoffed.

He bit his lip and kept quiet, displeased.

After a few minutes of silence, she closed her eyes and leaned back in her seat, emotionally
exhausted. “My memory hasn’t changed the slightest. I bet you had stopped Stanley before he could
do anything. Ugh… You’re such a meddler.”



With that, she opened the door and got out of his car.

“Where are you going?” Shane narrowed his eyes in suspicion.

She halted in her tracks and turned back to him. “I’m going to visit my mother. Do you want to go with
me?”

Upon hearing my reply, he glanced away and said in a low voice, “No.”

Without saying anything else, she closed the door and walked away.

She knew that he would not want to go with her because he was adamant that Yulia was a
murderer. There’s no way he’ll want to visit her.

After that, she headed to her car. It was not a joke when she said that she would be going to visit her
mother.

Knowing that it was risky to have several rounds of hypnosis in a day, she decided to meet Stanley
again the next day.

After buying a bouquet of flowers, she went to the cemetery and stood in front of Yulia’s tombstone for
a long time. Only when her phone rang did she come back to her senses.

“Mommy, where are you? Why haven’t you come to pick us up?” Sharon’s sweet voice sounded from
the phone.

Natalie took a deep breath and forced a smile. “I’m sorry, Darling. Mommy loses track of time. I’ll come
to pick both of you up right away. Stay there with Connor and wait for Mommy, alright?”

“Okay. We’ll be here waiting.” Sharon nodded.



Natalie ended the call and stared at her mother’s picture one last time before turning around and left
forlornly.
