"It's true, but that's not important. What I want to know is whether a hypnotist can make a person suffer from angina." Julien stared at Dr. Sullivan.
Dr. Sullivan hesitated a moment. "Can you elaborate, President Flint?"
"Yes." Julien nodded. "You should still remember how I described my fiancee. I have to treat her well, spoil her, and love her."
"I remember." Dr. Sullivan nodded.
Julien's expression darkened. "These few days, I found out that if I don't do that, my heart will hurt severely."
"I understand now. That's indeed something that a hypnotist can do. However, I want to tell you that the pain you're feeling isn't physical, but psychological," Dr. Sullivan looked at him and said.
"Psychological pain..." Julien lowered his eyes thoughtfully. "You mean, my heart isn't in pain, but my heart and consciousness feel like it's hurting?"
"Yes. After all, although hypnotists are powerful, they're not real gods. It's impossible for them to control your sense of pain. This is a kind of hypnosis. Hypnosis is a spiritual suggestion. That suggestion is probably for you to spoil your fiancee. If you don't follow it, you'll feel that your heart is hurting."
Julien's knuckles cracked. "I understand. Can you undo it?"
"I can't. After all, I didn't even notice the hypnosis that was cast on you. How could I be able to undo the spiritual suggestion? I can only say that that person's skills are too high, and he's still so young... What a true master!" Dr. Sullivan sighed with emotion.
Julien's handsome face darkened.
When Dr. Sullivan saw this, he smiled in embarrassment. "My apologies, President Flint. I lost control for a moment."
'What a blunder.
'He was treated that way by the hypnotist, but I still continued to praise the hypnotist. That's just rubbing salt on the wound.
'It's only natural that he would be upset.'
Julien looked at Dr. Sullivan coolly. "Forget it. I have one more question. Since you can't lift the hypnosis and spiritual suggestion, why did my heart pain disappear when I touched Sydney?"
"Who's Sydney?" Dr. Sullivan asked instead.
Julien's eyes softened. "The person I love."
Dr. Sullivan raised his brows. "Not the fake person you loved because of the hypnosis, but the real person you love?" "Yes." Julien nodded.
Dr. Sullivan stroked his chin and pondered for a moment. "Maybe it's a miracle. Although hypnosis is mystical, it's not a divine technique. Sometimes, the power of love is more powerful than one can imagine. Maybe when you came in contact with Ms. Sydney, your love for her made you subconsciously step out of the spiritual suggestion, so your heart naturally stopped hurting."
Julien lifted his chin thoughtfully. "I see. Thank you for the answers, Dr. Sullivan."
"It's no problem." Dr. Sullivan waved his hand.
Julien pinched the bridge of his nose. "Zach, see Dr. Sullivan out."
"Yes." Zach nodded and made an inviting gesture to Dr. Sullivan.
The two had just walked to the door when Zach saw the person outside and exclaimed, "Dr. James, why are you here?"
"I heard your boss got hospitalized again, so I came to take a look," Finn responded indifferently with both hands in the pockets of his white coat. However, his eyes glanced at Dr. Sullivan a few times.
In the ward, Julien narrowed his eyes slightly when he heard Finn's voice. "Zach, let Finn come in."
Zach heard it and stepped to the side to make way. ' Please go in, Dr. James. I'll send Dr. Sullivan off."
"You had such a good relationship with her, but you didn't know?" Julien asked coldly.
Finn took out a scalpel from his pocket and twirled it around his fingertips like a pen. "I only got close to her eight years ago. How would I know about her previous affairs?"
Julien lowered his eyelids. No one knew whether he believed Finn's words or not.
After a few seconds, he lifted his head. "Can you undo the hypnosis and spiritual suggestion from me?" "I have to know which hypnotist cast that on you first. Each hypnotist's technique is different. If I try to undo it rashly, it's easy to cause damage to your mind." Finn shrugged.
"He's a good-looking man." Julien pursed his lips.
Finn's actions paused. "Good-looking... Does he have long hair and likes to wear white clothes?"
Julien's face changed slightly at those words, and he gritted his teeth. "You know him?"
"He's my senior!" Finn's expression finally stopped looking lazy and became serious instead.
"Your senior?" Julien clenched his fists.
Finn hummed. "Yes. It's most likely my senior. If it was him who hypnotized you, I can't lift it. At most, I can only help you to control it."
"Not even you can lift it?" A trace of shock flashed in Julien's eyes.
Finn nodded. "My senior is a born hypnotist.
Furthermore, he suffers from a mood disorder, so he won't be troubled by things like emotions. That's why he learned hypnosis with ease. When I started learning from my teacher, he was already a top-notch hypnotist. With a snap of his fingers, a gaze, or just a word, he could capture the target before they have a chance to defend."
