Once Bitten, Twice Shy - Chapter 402

Harmony’s pleasantly surprised voice came from the other end, “I’m glad you came around, Tim. That’s great then.”

Even if Samantha could influence the main personality, Harmony knew that she was more important than anything for the second personality!

Samantha was worth less than even a single one of Harmony’s fingers!

Harmony suppressed her excitement and continued, “Tim… He said the hypnosis needs to be done in a very quiet and undisturbed environment. It might take about a month, and there can be no interruptions once it starts because the consequences of a disturbance are as yet unknown!”

“That is why you and he would have to be in seclusion during this month. Is that okay?”

‘A month.’

Timothy’s black eyes unconsciously looked toward Samantha’s ward.

If the main personality disappeared and only the second personality remained, would Samantha still say something like ‘It’s good that you are alive’ to him?

During the past twenty years, the main personality had a family, loved ones, a prosperous family background, and successfully reached the peak of his career. That should be enough.

The remainder of his life would be controlled by the second personality.

Timothy retracted his gaze and answered, “Okay.”

After ending the call, he stretched his long legs and left the hospital resolutely.

…

Samantha slept for more than ten hours, and by the time she opened her eyes, it was already afternoon the next day.

She turned to look at the bedside with some anticipation but there was no one there.

She could not help but sigh.

As expected, Timothy’s second personality did not fall for it that easily…

When she saved the first personality back in the day, Timothy still took care of her in the hospital and waited until she woke up to devote himself to her in exchange for her saving grace.

Unfortunately, the second personality had a heart of stone.

The door to the ward was pushed open all of a sudden.

Could she have guessed wrongly? Did Timothy come back?

Samantha’s eyes lit up and she looked over eagerly.

Instead of seeing the man she was expecting to see, she saw a beautiful woman with a great figure and attractive facial features.

Rochelle had arrived, and she walked on her heels in her usual temperament.

Samantha’s face sank and she could not hide her disappointment. “Why are you here, Chelle?”

“What’s the matter? Are you that disappointed to see me?” Rochelle took a couple of steps forward and glared at her as if annoyed. “Why you, if it wasn’t for me, you wouldn’t still be breathing and lying down here…you’d be having an audience with the grim reaper!”

Samantha immediately put on a smile. “No, no, you’re still the one I love most, Babe! Why would I be disappointed to see you? I’m happy, of course!”

Rochelle rolled her eyes at her and chided, “That mouth of yours is really good at lying!”

Despite the evident dissatisfaction in Rochelle’s voice, she still helped Samantha up carefully so the latter could rest comfortably on the bedhead. Rochelle then handed Samantha a glass of warm water.

After drinking the water, Samantha said, “Could you lend me your phone, Chelle. I’d like to call Timothy.”

Her cell phone had blown up alongside the explosion in the car.

“Here.” Rochelle took out her cell phone from her bag and handed it to her.

Samantha took it and dialed Timothy’s cell phone number.

Her hospitalization was a very good time to nurture their feelings. She still had to strike while the iron was hot, and she could not let Timothy ignore her without even showing up.

Unfortunately, all she heard was the dial tone, and her call went unanswered until it hung up all by itself.

She called several times in a row but all her attempts were similarly unanswered.

Samantha could not help but frown.

Although Timothy was not injured as badly as she was, he was still injured nonetheless. Logically speaking, he should be resting for a few days rather than going to work while still injured.

It was highly likely that he did not answer the phone because he was busy working.

Although…could he be unwilling to answer her because it was Rochelle’s number?

Samantha did not give too much thought to those questions and instead called Ronald.

After just one ring, Ronald answered with a very servile voice, “Is there anything I can help you with, Mrs. Yates?”

Samantha could not help but narrow her eyes at her best friend.

How much of a psychological burden did Rochelle cause Ronald that he was forced into becoming so cowardly?

Since she had something important to deal with, she spared them the teasing and went straight to the topic. “Ronald, it’s me.”

“Mrs. Barker?” Ronald was surprised at first, but then asked solemnly, “Is there something I can do for you?”

“I called Timothy but he never answered. Is he at the company? Is he busy?”

“Ah? No!” Ronald answered truthfully. “Mr. Barker called me last night and told me to postpone all his work for a month. He doesn’t want to be disturbed! I thought it was because he wanted to focus his attention on caring for you…”

That answer came as a surprise for Samantha.

Timothy postponed his work for an entire month but not to take care of her in the hospital!

He happened to have made that decision the previous night…

Which meant that it was made after he left her ward?

Samantha’s heart throbbed suddenly and she immediately had a bad feeling.

Rochelle heard their conversation from aside and her expression changed slightly as she said solemnly, “Sammy, Harmony asked for a month’s leave too!”

How unexpected!

Timothy and Harmony were going to disappear together for a month…

None of it seemed right regardless of what angle she looked at it!

Samantha tried her best to calm down as her mind was hard at work.

When Timothy rescued her despite the danger and got injured as a result, he did so under the influence of his main personality because it was not something the second personality would do.

It signified that Timothy’s second personality was unable to control the main personality.

Harmony was good at hypnosis and she could suppress the main personality.

It usually did not take that long for Harmony to suppress the main personality unless someone more powerful was doing it!

The thought of the man who showed up at the party that day could not help but pop up in her mind!

If she guessed correctly, that man would probably be the one suppressing the main personality!

If he personally set about doing that task, then the main personality which Samantha had taken great pains to waken would be subdued and everything would go back to square one.

Rochelle’s heartbeat sped up uncontrollably when she listened to Samantha’s analysis.

“I can’t just sit still, Chelle. I need to find Timothy as soon as possible and stop that from happening!”

Rochelle nodded vigorously. “I’ll ask someone to find out where Timothy and Harmony are heading.”

As she said that, she took back her cell phone and was about to make a call.

Samantha stretched out her hand to stop Rochelle. “It’s useless to do that. Since Timothy wants to go under the radar, he won’t let anyone find traces of his whereabouts. Locating him would be impossible.”

“What can we do then?”

Samantha’s sullen gaze narrowed slightly and she started thinking from another perspective. Half a minute later, she smiled coldly and said, “We force.”

“What?”

“We force Harmony to show up. Once she appears, we can track Timothy’s whereabouts.”

…

Three days later, a bombshell was dropped and the news made waves throughout the internet!
