Chapter 75 You Think I’m a Monster
They were twin sons.
The older brother was called Vincent Campbell and the younger brother was Louis Campbell.
Vincent was a computer genius and was well versed in hacking techniques.
Louis had a superb memory, he couldn’t forget anything and liked to express it, explaining to Conor, “When the Bates family’s baby was having its full month party, brother was hospitalized with appendicitis. He would go over to Star Mansion to see the baby, but in the end he couldn’t. Brother wanted to know what the baby looked like, so he had hacked the Bates family’s surveillance the day before and heard these words.”
Conor asked, “Who said these words?”
Louis said, “It was Great Grandpa.” Great Grandpa was Zack: “He was in his study, talking to Grandpa Declan, and Grandpa Lawrence.” Grandpa Declan and Grandpa Lawrence were Zack’s second and third sons: “Great Grandpa said that Reeva’s return was good news and that he had to speak to the Howard family. Grandpa Declan said: you can’t say anything! If you do, you’ll alert others! Grandpa Lawrence said, when Reeva comes back, let Reeva and Uncle Jasper get married immediately, so that nothing wrong will happen.”
Conor was not expecting that. He panicked, feeling flustered for Jasper: “Who else have you told?”
“No one else.”
“Daddy, did you forget that no one knows we know about hacking except you and the teacher?”
Conor must have panicked and forgotten something so important: yes! No one knew they were little geniuses except him and their teacher. He spent time with them every day, not playing with them, but studying with them remotely.
“Good, don’t say anything in the future, it’s our secret.” Conor let them go to bed first, he had to think about what to do? Should he tell Jasper?
What could Jasper do if he knew?
There was nothing he could do, and all negotiations would have to wait for Reeva’s return.
Before Reeva returned, he was nothing but nervous and anxious about losing Helena.
He and Helena were already married, and as long as he did not agree to a divorce, the Bates family could not force him to get one.
The Bates family would suppress Jasper when they were annoyed, but Jasper was very strong and could not be suppressed by the Bates family.
Conor stood on the balcony smoking a cigarette as he weighed his decision over and over again: don’t tell Jasper yet!
Instead of making him nervous and anxious, it was better for him to see what he could do. He didn’t know that Reeva was coming back, and the Bates family didn’t know that he and Helena were already married. They each had big moves, and Jasper should not be at a disadvantage.
He kept an eye on it and went over to give Jasper a hand if he was at a disadvantage.
…
Jasper couldn’t sleep.
He was worried about Helena’s body, which had been suffering from a high 38-degree fever and inexplicably great strength. This great strength she can’t control came out from time to time.
The last time he asked Matthew to introduce him to a hypnotherapist, Matthew made an appointment with the hypnotherapist but could not arrive until tomorrow.
Jasper could not wait to know the results now: why does she have a constant fever? Why is she so powerful? Who is she really? Is there another Helena inside her body? What has gone wrong?
Yet Helena knew none of this; she was dreaming again, in a messy way.
“Reeva, it’s Mum.”
“Reeva, go home, go home.”
“Go home to grandpa, go home to grandpa.”
“Mum left a bracelet for you. You take the bracelet to Grandpa and he will recognize it.”
“Reeva, Reeva, your name is Reeva.”
“Get enlightened, flying eagle …… flying eagle, get enlightened ……”
“When you are enlightened, you are the flying eagle, the cheetah, the return of the king that no one can beat. Enlightened! Be enlightened!”
“Don’t you look back, don’t ever look back …… If you want to go back alive, will you love me once?”
Helena was breathing heavily, her fingers trembling frequently under the blanket: No! Don’t! Don’t! She was so scared that her body rolled to the side and into Jasper’s embrace. As if feeling safe, her breathing slowly descended.
“If there is an afterlife, will you find me sooner?”
“In this life I will protect you, in the next you will save me.”
“You have to find me sooner and get me out …… I don’t want to fall for her trick again, I don’t want to miss you again. You have to come to me, you have to come to me… …”Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.
“Reeva, I’m Mum, I am Mum!”
“Reeva, it’s time for you to go home. Go find your bracelet, go find your bracelet.”
“It’s too late! Reeva, it’s going to be too late! You wake up! Wake up!”
“If you don’t wake up, you won’t be Reeva …… If you don’t wake up, Jasper won’t belong to you …… Reeva, wake up, wake up… …”
Helena’s eyes suddenly opened.
At the same time, everything in the dream blasted away from her mind again and she remembered nothing.
When Jasper saw her eyes open, he asked her, “What’s wrong? Not feeling well?” Again, he noticed that her eyes were unfocused, not even shiny. She had only opened her eyes, not really woken up.
He touched her eyes and she closed them again and went back to sleep.
It was still a dream.
A dark dream.
She couldn’t see anything, only knew there was danger. She grabbed Jasper and couldn’t hold on to him.
When she woke up again, there were two more men in white coats in the room: Matthew and a woman. This woman was a complete stranger, around forty years old, with gentle eyes and an air of quietness that permeated her surroundings.
Helena sat up.
Jasper told her, “This is Matthew’s cousin, Dr. Kate Doyle. She mainly works in psychology, so I asked her to come over and do a hypnosis for you to find out why you’ve been running a high fever.”
Helena had just woken up and her mind was still a bit confused: “Why do I need to see a psychiatrist when I have a high fever? Why do I need hypnosis?”
She looked at Matthew.
Matthew shielded his face with his hand: “Don’t look at me, my medical skills have been defeated by you. In order to clear up your problem, I brought my cousin over. She is great, if it wasn’t for Jasper, she wouldn’t even come.”
Helena was a bit resistant to mental hypnosis: “Aren’t I here for a competition? Why would I come here to see a doctor?” Probably because she resisted the mental hypnosis, she became angry as she said, “Jasper, why are you still here? How can I compete if you’re here? If they see you, even if I win first place, they’ll all say I cheat. Will you go away?”
Take them all away, will you?
What was with all the hypnosis in the early morning?
She did have a fever, she did have a constant fever, but she didn’t feel bad! She didn’t feel so bad!
Jasper sat on the edge of the bed and took her hand: “Helena, you ……”
She jerked her hand away angrily, “I need to go to the bathroom. When I come out, you’d better be gone. Jasper, I’m so angry now, you think I’m a monster, don’t you?”
