Paige looked at the warm and affectionate man in front of her, raised her hand and touched his brow, and whispered, “Let’s talk about it after you get out of the hospital.”
After he is awakened, he will not call her Hazel all the time.
“Okay.”
Enrico completely obeyed her.
The two walked out of the hospital, and Paige was led by Enrico down the street.
There were hawkers carrying goods along the street, shouting loudly, and the shops on the street were all open and operating normally, showing no signs of abnormality.
Paige felt a little strange. They had already taken control of JT, hadn’t they? Could it be that the Folsom family had not told Justin and the others to release everyone from hypnosis?
“What are you looking at?” Enrico looked down at her and squeezed her hand a little tighter.
“Just looking around,” Paige responded indifferently.
“Accompany me to buy a pair of Western glasses. Recently, I can’t see things very clearly.”
Enrico said and took her hand and led her into a Western department store. It was full of foreign gadgets that had just been introduced to the country a hundred years ago, and it was out of place in this era.
There was no professional measurement of degrees, and there was no professional dispensing of glasses. The glasses were all ready-made pairs, placed in glass cabinets.
“Sir, madam, come in and have a look.” The waiter standing in front of the cabinet, dressed in a lab coat, warmly welcomed them.
Enrico took Paige to the glass cabinet and smiled at her, ‘You help me choose a pair?’
Paige had things on her mind and had no time to dawdle with the mesmerized Enrico at the moment. She just wanted to buy them and hurry home, then pretend to sleep and go out.
So she glanced down and pointed directly at a pair of glasses with a light-colored frame, “Let’s get these.”
“Madam has excellent taste, these are the best glasses we have here.” The shop assistant carefully took out the case, ‘Try them on.’
Enrico leaned against the glass case, propped up on one hand, and brought his handsome face close to hers, smiling softly, his gaze gentle and clean, ‘You put them on for me.’
“…”
This clingy attitude is on par with Enrico’s.
Paige did not refuse, and picked up the glasses to put them on for him.
Enrico’s skin was pale and white, his features deep-set, and his short hair combed back, catering to the aesthetics of the times and revealing a smooth forehead. When he raised his eyes, the glasses resting on his nose fell down a little. Through the transparent lenses, he looked extremely harmless at the moment.
He was completely a bookworm, clean and tidy, as if you could see through him at a glance.
Paige had seen Enrico wearing glasses before, but this was the first time she had seen him like this, and it was probably because his temperament had changed.
Seeing her in a daze, Enrico was pleased. He rested his index finger on the bridge of his nose and pushed up his glasses, smiling and asking, “Do I look good?”
Paige came back to her senses and said, “Yes.”
“Then let’s buy these,” said Enrico.
“Then please go to the checkout over there,” said the shop assistant, gesturing behind him.
Paige turned around. Behind the piles of Western goods, a staff member sat at an old desk, counting money with an abacus.
Enrico took out a stack of bills and two silver dollars and put them in her hand, saying softly, “Will you go check out for me?”
“Okay.”
Paige took them without objection and walked towards the staff member who was counting the money, handing him the glasses case and saying, “Check out.”
“Please wait a moment, I will finish the calculation soon.” The man was busy with his abacus, as if he was very busy.
Paige did not rush him, but looked bored at some of the goods nearby.
Enrico leaned against the glass cabinet, watching her slender back, with a warm smile on his lips.
After a while, he extended his foot and hooked a round stool, sitting in front of the glass cabinet and taking off his glasses to examine them.
The waiter took out a cloth and wiped the glass, then leaned close to Enrico and whispered, “Master JT, the two groups are under control, but strangely, none of them have given the answer.”
In this city, Master JT controls many people, including some families who are puppets under Master JT.
But for some reason, yesterday, Master JT found them covered in blood and told them to control the two groups of the Davis family and find out what happened.
The light from the lens shone through Enrico’s eyes, and a cold light swept across them.
A smile was still on his lips, but the warmth was gone. “Everyone is afraid of pain. If they hurt, they will confess everything.”
“…”
“If that doesn’t work, two people will die, and the rest will be afraid.”
He said it lightly.
The technique of interrogation is always the simplest and most straightforward when it comes to abuse.
He has no memory of anything in the Davis family dungeon. He needs to know everything, and he doesn’t like not knowing.
Xiao Er nodded and whispered, “Understood.”
Enrico rotated the glasses in his hands. Xiao Er looked at him, then at Paige, and couldn’t help but ask in a low voice, “Master JT, are you… changing people?”
Upon hearing this, Enrico’s grip on the leg of his glasses tightened, and he looked in the direction of Paige, following Xiao Er’s line of sight.
Paige was bored and had already squatted down to look at a music box.
“What do you mean?” Enrico’s gaze was cold. “You don’t know her?”
He had made everyone he brought with him look at a poster of Hazel.
“No,” Xiao Er shook his head blankly.
“Do you have any posters of Hazel here?” Enrico asked.
“Of course we do,”
The owner of JT is very fond of Hazel. He asked them to recognize people in case they accidentally hurt Hazel while working.
He just didn’t know why there was a new person by his side today.
With that, the waiter took out the folded poster from the drawer next to him and unfolded it.
Enrico looked over.
The green-clad figure on the poster was a strange face.
“Hazel really sings well,” the waiter said with emotion as he stared at the person on the poster.
“…”
Enrico looked at him coldly, gloomy.
Xiaoyi was captivated by his gaze, swallowed, and put the poster away, not knowing what he had said wrong.
Enrico put his glasses back on and ran his hand over his forehead.
His fingertip felt a small wound.
Could it be that even he had been hypnotized? So the messages he received became chaotic.
Impossible, no one in the world could hypnotize him.
Enrico turned his head. Paige was crouched on the floor, looking at the music box. She was wearing thin clothes, as if she sensed something. She looked up at him, and through some messy goods, her small figure looked like a well-behaved child, with a pale and soft face and clean eyebrows.
She captured his heart at first glance.
Enrico could hear his chest beating. He pursed his lips and his eyes were deep in shadow.
Something must be wrong.
But he would not mistake the woman in front of him.
He gathered the darkness in his eyes, smiled, stood up and walked over to her, stood next to her and picked up the music box, “You like this? Then let’s buy it together.”
Saying that, he took out a few more dollars.
“…”
Paige either liked it or just looked at it bored.
She stood up, and Enrico said again, “Don’t say I’m spending money recklessly again. Just buy this one, and donate the rest to your women’s self-help association.”
The person next to them finally finished calculating and quickly gave them the bill.
Enrico, wearing his glasses, took her by the hand while holding the music box in the other hand, and they left the department store.
