Chapter 44: Should I Hypnotize Both Of Them?
Silence enveloped the two of them, before Liam finally broke it with a voice slightly louder than before.
"What do you mean? Connection?"
Silvia held her hair, looking somewhat stressed. Liam could see how exhausted Silvia’s condition was right now.
"Like... there’s something that makes my mom hate you so much. She... doesn’t allow me to get close to you at all, Liam."
Liam raised one eyebrow. He did not understand why he had become the source of all these problems.
"When she sees that I interact with you, she even threatens to do double suicide with me. Saying ’let’s go to the ocean.’"
Liam was stunned.
This is just... wild.
What kind of mother would say that to her own child?
Silvia put on a very pitiful face, which made Liam’s heart shake when he saw it.
"So... be my partner for this year’s student council camp, Liam. Who knows my mom will be so frustrated and disappointed that she will stop thinking about me in her life, Liam."
"Alright, alright. Silvia. Calm down." Liam said quickly, holding Silvia’s trembling shoulder. Her eyes looked slightly teary.
How heavy was the burden this girl was carrying?
"I’ll..."
Liam stopped.
Wait... wasn’t this plan too reckless? What if Silvia’s mother’s condition got worse, and she might kill Liam because of it?
When that thought crossed his mind, Liam immediately felt a chill.
He thought about refusing this offer...
"Please..." Silvia’s trembling voice sounded.
Seeing that, Liam’s mouth opened.
He then closed his eyes tightly, took a deep breath, and said,
"Alright... I will handle this, Silvia. Calm down."
Liam finally accepted the request to help Silvia. Well... all he needed to do was go on vacation with Silvia, right?
Besides, this was a free vacation.
Silvia’s face immediately lit up in an instant. She smiled.
"Thank you, Liam!"
Liam sipped his already cold tea. He started pushing away the heavy thoughts for now...
For now he only thought.
’What should I do when we go to the beach for this year’s student council camp?’
Then an improper thought crossed his mind.
Miria in a bikini...
Bzzzttt
Liam’s phone rang, that thought immediately disappeared and left only his reddened face.
He picked up his phone and turned on the screen.
[Three messages from Miria.]
Liam tapped it.
[Liam]
[Are you busy]
[I just wanted to say, would you like to join the student council camp? Be my partner?]
Seeing that, sweat started to appear on his face.
’shiiiiiit.’
***
In a very neat and cozy room, a girl with dark blue hair was twirling a pen between her fingers.
Her eyes looked at her phone, scrolling through various photos of a boy.
It had been 10 minutes since Miria opened the file containing photos of her and Liam from childhood until now. The more she scrolled, the more she realized that she had rarely taken photos with Liam.
Miria closed her phone. She leaned back in her chair and let out a sigh.
’I want to hypnotize Liam...’
It had been one and a half months since she last hypnotized Liam. Because of her mother, she could no longer monitor Liam or even hypnotize him.
Because if she did that, she felt like she was going against her mother’s order that night to trust Liam.
However, she could not do what her mother said at all. She was used to not being able to resist seeing Liam. She even stalked Liam when he walked home, or secretly watched his study group at the school library.
Because Sheryl had been forbidden by her mother from following Miria’s orders, she had to do everything herself, including monitoring Liam.
During the past one and a half months, Miria finally realized something.
That bitch named Silvia really wanted to covet Liam.
Maybe Liam did not realize it. But that girl was not much different from Miria. That girl could smile warmly and act all cutesy in front of Liam, but behind it? Oh... that girl was terrifying.
When Miria watched Liam at the library, that girl could uncannily spot Miria who was in disguise. And what did Silvia do when she saw Miria? She just smiled.
Miria still shivered when she remembered that girl’s smile.
There was something deeper and darker inside that number one student.
And Miria had to find a way to keep Liam away from Silvia.
Because Miria had a bad feeling about Silvia.
She could use hypnosis on Silvia and implant a thought stamp for Silvia to stay away from Liam.
That would actually be very easy and practical.
However, if she did that, Miria felt she would become even more dependent on the hypnosis app and become more reckless.
She did not want Liam to hate her.
After thinking for a while, Miria finally thought of something. She took out a document and looked at its contents.
"Student Council Camp."
This was it... she could bring Liam here, make him her partner, and keep him away from Silvia.
Plus, wouldn’t this count as a date for the two of them?
Thinking about that, Miria’s heart beat faster. She wanted to immediately call Liam and invite him to join this student council camp.
However, she still maintained her pride. She then turned on her phone screen and started typing.
[Liam]
[Are you busy]
[I just wanted to say, would you like to join the student council camp? Be my partner?]
After sending those three messages in a row, Miria’s heart beat fast as she waited for Liam’s reply.
"He should accept it, right? Besides, this is a free vacation."
While waiting for Liam’s reply, Miria thought about several things they could do later at this student council camp.
’I have to buy a pretty bikini...’
Imagining when she showed herself in a bikini to Liam, then Liam’s face turned red and he gave her compliments.
After that... the two of them playing at the beach. Maybe riding a banana boat, with Liam driving and Miria behind him.
When there were waves... Miria would hug Liam tightly, feeling his body for herself...
At night we would eat together. Then... in the middle of the night... I would sneak into his room...
And...
Cough. Cough.
What are you thinking, Miria! Get a grip!
Miria’s face was very red now. Her stomach felt tingling.
Until Miria finally realized one thing.
’Why is Liam taking so long to reply??’
Bzzztt.
The message finally appeared. Miria immediately turned on her phone.
[Sorry, Miria.]
[Silvia already registered me as her partner...]
The light immediately disappeared from Miria’s eyes.
She gripped her phone until a cracking sound appeared.
’Should I hypnotize both of them...?’
