Hypnotizing Love

"Don't be angry. Have a seat." Elias pulled out a chair for her.

Makenna put the bag on the table forcefully. "How can I not be angry? I could've killed her today. As long as she dies, I'll never have any troubles in the future, but you..."

"Jared is in the hospital." Elias interrupted her.

Makenna was stunned. "What? Jared is in the hospital?"

"Yes, and he was outside Amber's operating room. He saw me enter the operating room, so you should think about it. If Amber lost her life after the operation, don't you think Jared will investigate?" Elias pushed up his glasses and looked at her.

Makenna bit her lip. "You're right. You can't kill Amber. But you can kill her baby. Why didn't you do it?" She snapped at Elias.

Elias poured her a glass of water and said, "Don't worry. There are plenty of opportunities. Don't you believe me?"

"But I'm afraid that if we delay for too long, Jared will admit the child and re-marry Amber." Makenna clenched her fists.

The corners of Elias' mouth curled into a mocking smile. "You're overthinking it. Jared is not like Amber. He knows that the baby in her belly is his. He went to the hospital today to wait for her. It's conceivable that he doesn't like the baby that much in her belly, so what you imagine is unlikely to come true."

"Better safe than sorry. Don't forget, I told you before that the person Jared really loves is Amber." Makenna said in a solemn voice.

Elias blinked. "Speaking of that, I've never asked you why you're so afraid of Amber. She has divorced Jared, and it seems that she has nothing to do with him anymore. Although Jared loves her, he isn't aware of that. Nothing would rekindle between them. What are you afraid of?"

Hearing these words, Makena's eyes flashed with guilt and she said unhappily, "This is not what you should ask."

She would not tell anyone, especially Jared and Elias, that she was pretending to be Jared's pen friend using Amber's name.

If she told them, Elias might doubt that she had also pretended to be his savior.

"Really? Fine, since you don't want to say it, then we'll forget it." Elias shrugged as if he was not interested.

Just as Makenna was about to let out a sigh of relief, Elias spoke again, "By the way, Makenna, do you still remember when we first met?" Makenna panicked. "Why are you suddenly asking this?"

"Nothing, I'm just reminiscing about the past." Elias took a sip of tea and said with a smile.

Makenna was furious.

Reminiscing about some freaking past all of a sudden?

What's this all about?

Makenna kept a smile on her face and replied, "Of course it was when I saved you."

Elias tapped the table lightly and did not answer.

Makenna's heart skipped a beat, and the smile on her face almost disappeared.

She clenched her fists and suppressed the panic in her heart, trying to sound as natural as possible. "Isn't that right?"

Seven years ago, when they first met, he was very excited to tell her that he finally found her.

At that time, she expressed that she didn't know him. He said it didn't matter if she didn't know him. After all, it was the second time they met. The first time they met, she must be his real benefactor. When she saved him, they first met. Makenna thought that she couldn't have answered wrong.

Elias suddenly smiled and said, "That's right. The first time we met is when you saved me."

He deliberately emphasized the word "saved me".

Makenna didn't feel anything wrong and heaved a sigh of relief.

However, Elias continued, "Do you still remember where you saved me?"

Makenna's heart, which had just quiet down, was once again pounding crazily. She was so angry.

But most of it was nervousness and fear.

What did he mean? Why did he suddenly ask these questions?

Could it be that he knew that she was not his savior and was testing her?

Thinking of that, Makenna's face turned pale. She had her heart in her mouth.

She could not answer Elias's question.

Because she had no idea where his real life-saver had come to his rescue, let alone what trouble he had encountered at that time. And he had never told her, so how did she answer the question? However, she had no choice but to reply something, or she would expose herself.

After thinking for a while, Makenna finally gave a safest answer. "I'm sorry, Elias. I forgot."

She did not say that she didn't know, so that he couldn't tell whether she was lying or not.

Just as Makenna felt more and more uncertain, Elias curled his lips and said, "That's okay. It's been more than a decade. After all, you were too young at that time."

Makenna heaved a sigh of relief when she saw that he didn't doubt her.

It seemed that she had made the right move.

Then, Makenna grabbed Elias' arm and said, "Elias, tell me where we met for the first time. I won't forget it ever again."

"Okay." Elias looked down to hide the coldness in his eyes. "The first time we met was at an amusement park. I was injured and couldn't walk. A human trafficker wanted to take me away. It was you who appeared in time and scared him away."

Makenna thought that it was the case.

Makenna's eyes narrowed for a moment before she suddenly slapped her thigh. "Elias, I remember what you said. That's right. The first time we met was at the amusement park. I didn't know where I got the courage to fight against him. Now that I think about it, I was actually quite scared back then."

"You were very brave." Elias said with a smile, but there was no joy in his eyes but malice and sarcasm.

He made that up and she just bought the story.

Sure enough, she was not the one who saved him.

Makenna looked at Elias' smile and felt completely relieved.

It seemed that he did not suspect her. The reason why he asked her this was really to recall the past.

Otherwise, he would definitely expose her. He wouldn't allow her to continue pretending, right?

With that in mind, Makenna picked up the cup in front of her and took a gulp of water. Then she stood up and said goodbye, "Elias, I'm going to visit Jared later. See'ya."

She couldn't stay any longer. If he asked her some more questions that she couldn't answer, it would be troublesome. After all, she was running out of lies.

"Ok." Elias also stood up and nodded in agreement.

Makenna quickly left.

Elias watched her as she left the room. The smile on his face disappeared completely.

"Makenna, you dare pretend to be my angel. I will make you suffer!" Elias murmured coldly.

It was true that he mistook her as his savior, but Makenna should know whether she had saved him or not.

But she did not deny it. She shamelessly pretended to be his angel and enjoyed his help. He would not let her off because of that.

Looking at the teacup Makenna had just used, Elias grinned evilly.

Then, he took out his mobile phone and texted Amber.

Amber frowned when she saw the message.
