The Real Daughter Came Back to Chill and Kill novel Chapter 47

The chrysanthemum would help Xavier with his fatigue and also calm his senses. Scarlett had carefully selected them, making sure that their fragrance wasn't too strong, but also not too faint. Their scent had the effect of relaxing anyone who smelled it.

After washing her hands, Scarlett retrieved the blackout eye mask and handed it to Xavier. He was a slight germaphobe, so he didn't accept the mask immediately.

Caleb asked hastily, "Did you just buy this? Have you washed it?"

Scarlett instantly guessed that Xavier had germophobia based on Caleb's questions. She understood his concerns, since the Quinn brothers also had varying degrees of germophobia. While caring for them, Scarlett had developed the habit of cleaning and sanitizing all her tools long ago.

"Don't worry," she said. "I disinfected it earlier."

It was also the reason why she hadn't given the eye mask to Caleb while she was treating him.

Caleb was surprised by her answer. "You're quite meticulous, aren't you?"

It appeared that Scarlett was well suited to being a doctor.

Xavier accepted the eye mask from Scarlett after her reassurance. Once everything was ready, Scarlett started the timer.

"Empty your mind. The timer has started. I'll do my best to ensure you fall asleep in the next ten minutes. First, I'm going to massage your acupuncture points. You'll be able to feel the pressure of my touch."

Scarlett placed her hands gently on Xavier's head. However, despite how he had emptied his mind as she instructed, he couldn't help but tense up when he felt her soft and warm fingertips brush against his scalp.

"Relax. There's no need to be nervous," Scarlett murmured. "Is this pressure okay?"

Xavier's voice was low and slightly hoarse when he answered, "Yes."

Scarlett let her voice trail off as she stopped telling her story and gently removed her hands from Xavier's head. It had taken 30 minutes for his breathing to even out. The watch around his wrist finally showed that he had fallen into a deep sleep.

Disbelief was written all over Caleb's face. His fingers flew across the screen of his phone rapidly as he typed out his thoughts for Scarlett to see.

"What the fuck, you're amazing! Your hypnosis skills will put those international hypnotists to shame!"

Caleb had hired a hypnotist to try to induce Xavier to sleep in the past. However, Xavier had been as stubborn as a bull. No matter what the hypnotist tried to do, he kept his eyes open, refusing to close them and refusing to go to sleep.

The hypnotist had also been stunned, never expecting she would face a challenge as formidable as Xavier during the span of her illustrious career.

On the other hand, Scarlett had only given him an eye mask to wear before sticking a few needles into his head, and he fell into a deep slumber. She grabbed her phone and typed a reply.
