Chapter 57: Chapter 57

"Things aren't as simple as they seem, Lily. You should ask your doctor what actually happened to you. He'll answer you well. I'll call you if I find anything else."

Lily froze on her spot when she heard everything that Ella just told her.

She took deep breaths in before she went inside. While she was walking in daze, she almost fell on Adrian while she was going to her chair.

Adrian quickly held her on time before she fell on him that's when she came back to reality. She apologized to which and cleared her mind.

She had a lot of questions in her mind right now and only one person could answer her.

"Aiden, can you tell me what exactly happened to me? It wasn't simple hallucination is it?", Lily said in a low tone which was heard by only Aiden and Adrian who were sitting next to her.

Aiden looked at her as he was taken aback by the sudden question. He wondered how she came to know since her grandfather asked him not to tell her anything but now that she knows it, he would definitely tell her.

Aiden waited till his grandfather left to bid goodbye to the guests along with Elder Sheng. He turned to look at Ryan and Adrian since it was related to his patient, he didn't want her to feel that her privacy was disregarded.

Lily did not mind anyone's presence right now and all she wanted was for her to know everything. She didn't care if people heard them since she never cared about what others side after all she won't lose anything even if they talk about her.

Ryan was called by some of his friends so he left while Adrian was excused himself.

"You were hypnotized. Also, I know you are not the real Lily. You are Jennifer, wife of Samuel Andres", Aiden said as he looked at Lily's shocked expression.

Never did she ever thought that her secret would be known by someone, especially him.

Upon seeing her shocked expression, he continued, "I know you're shocked how I know all these but during your treatment I realised from my research that the real Lily never had any relation with Samuel and neither did she ever talk to him much for her to harbour such feelings to the point where she would imagine herself to be pregnant with his kid."

"While I was still treating you I found something strange that no matter what I did you wouldn't get better then I had to hypnotize you so you can forget all the things from your past and that's when I came to know about your reincarnation. I must say, you're a strong woman to have overcome the hypnosis. Your hypnosis was done in such a way that no matter you did or how much ever you tried, you'd end up loving the man even if he tried to kill you."

Lily was silent for a minute as she took in all the things that she heard just now. She so wanted to know the deep loopholes in the things that he just said but he was not the one who could answer. She had to find it herself.

"Does grandfather know about it?", Lily asked since it was important for her to know if the old man knew everything as it would determine her next steps. Aiden nodded while his calm voice sounded.

"I told him about hypnosis so he wanted to know but given how much he dotes on you, I don't think it made any change. Also, I heard he liked Jennifer and as your family member I had to tell him about it so he could look after the things."

Lily sighed deeply as she gave a nod and thanked him.

"No problem. But yeah, I'd recommend you to beware of people around you. Don't get hypnotized again. It was really hard for me to get you out of the mess", he said as he faked tears making her shake her head.

"Never knew, Dr. Collins could be so dramatic."

"Well, you can know about me a lot in future. For now, you should try to find out about what happened in the past. You can always come to me if you need any help. Afterall, we're family", he said the last part with a cough.

Lily didn't seem to give much importance to the last part since she thought he said it because of their grandfathers friendship.

'Such an ignorant girl!' Aiden thought as he chuckled.

After they talked for a while, Lily thanked him. By this time, Adrian already returned to his chair.

"I'll take my leave", Lily said and stood up then gave a small nod to Aiden. She turned towards Adrian to find him staring at her so she gave a small nod to him as well but he did not respond.

Not minding that she was disregarded, Lily made her way towards the exit where her grandfather was waiting for her.

Just as she reached the exit, she realised she forgot her mobile on the table. "Grandfather, give me a minute. I forgot my mobile", Lily said and walked towards the table to pick her mobile.

She saw two iPhone on the table and picked one then rushed out.

"Brother, are you interested in her?", Aiden asked curiously looking at Adrian who was staring at the exit blankly. "Why? Are you interested?", Adrian returned the question.

"She is hot and beautiful but she isn't my type. She is the dominant one while I like cute girls", Aiden responded. "Mhm. She is cute too", Adrian said lazily.

Ryan who had just returned and was drinking wine choked when he heard his brother.

Did he just say he finds a girl cute? Did the sun rise from the west today?

"I like the girls who submit quickly. She is hard to get and most importantly she is too dangerous and scary", Aiden said remembering the time when Lily almost killed him during her treatment. He got goosebumps all over his body just by thinking that.

Adrian's lips tilted upwards forming a smirk on his lips. "Interesting."

"..."

Ryan and Aiden looked at each other quietly then at their elder brother.

'Is he planning something?' Aiden thought.

'I wish she won't die. It would a shame if such beauty dies.' Ryan thought.

A chuckle rumbled from Adrian's throat sending chills down the two young men's spine. They felt it was too dangerous to stay around their brother and wanted to run away but they knew their brother would stop them right away.

'Brother, we still want to live. Don't give us a heart attack.' The two of them thought as they cried in their mind.

The two them mustered up some courage and ran away but Adrian did not bother with the two of them, instead he picked his mobile.

'Wait, this is not my mobile.'

Adrian thought when he saw the lockscreen wallpaper which was of a baby panda holding honey pot. He realised Lily took his mobile since the two of them were of same model and had similar black cover.

The only difference was that her mobile had small baby panda in the right most corner below sitting with a small bamboo shoot in its hand.

'Who says this girl isn't cute?'

He chuckled and stood up to leave while keeping the phone in his suit's breast pocket.

Since it was too late, he decided to return the mobile next day and went home.

When Adrian came out of the bathroom, he heard her mobile ring. He went to see the caller ID 'Chatterbox'. He did not bother to answer it and just let it ring until the call ended.

On the other side, Lily was sitting and checking some papers sitting on the bed when Adrian's mobile rang. She still hadn't realised that it wasn't her mobile and went to pick it up without checking the caller ID.

"Boss, we have done the task and returning back", the person on the other line said. Lily furrowed her brows and moved the phone away to check the name.

'Who is Travis?'

She then checked the mobile and realised it wasn't her mobile. She wondered whose mobile she picked.

Was it Adrian? Or Aiden?

"Boss? You there?", Travis asked as he kept calling out. Lily realised the call was still on and spoke calmly yet in cold tone, "I'll pass the message to your boss. Don't call until morning."

With that she hung up leaving the poor soul in confusion.
