Once Cast-Off Wife Now Untouchable Queen novel Chapter 279

Chapter 279 Truth Under Hypnosis

Aella glanced at Tyrone’s hand tapping lightly on his phone screen. She turned, checked her own phone, and saw the message Tyrone had just sent her.

Sliding the phone into her pocket, she faced Zera and Shirley. “Family members aren’t allowed in during therapy. Ms. Caldwell can come in alone,” she said calmly.

Zera hesitated, clearly uneasy. She said, “Tyrone, I haven’t been doing well lately. Could you ask Dr. Reid to make an exception and let my mom come in with me?”

Before Tyrone could say anything, Aella cut her off. “If you don’t even have the most basic trust in me, then you should probably find another doctor. You’re free to leave right now.”

She threw Tyrone a glance, then turned and walked into the treatment room without waiting for a response.

Zera looked at him, flustered. “Tyrone, I didn’t mean it like that. I just … I …

Tyrone said patiently, “Zera, I promised her I’d go through with the divorce. In return, she promised me she’d help you recover. Even if you don’t trust her, you should at least trust me.”

Zera stared at him, eyes welling up with tears.

She asked, “Tyrone … Did you really divorce her because of me?”

Tyrone answered with a straight face, “If you don’t believe me, you can go in there right now and ask her yourself.”

Zera burst into tears, nodding hard. “Tyrone, I believe you. I really do.”

She turned to Shirley and said, “Mom, go on home. Tyrone’s here, nothing’s gonna happen to

me.”

Shirley, teary–eyed herself, nodded quickly and left the hospital without another word.

Tyrone pulled out a tissue and handed it to Zera.

“Come on. I’ll walk you in,” he said.

Zera wiped her tears and followed him obediently into the office.

At exactly 2:30, Zera was successfully coaxed into the treatment room.

Half an hour later, Aella successfully hypnotized Zera.

With Aella’s help, Tyrone managed to guide Zera into confessing every truth he needed to hear.

What shocked Aella was how someone as seemingly dumb and timid as Zera could be hiding such a vicious heart–all the twisted, dirty things she’d done.

Just to climb her way into high society, she’d schemed, manipulated, and even cost someone

their life.

The original 40–minute session stretched into an hour and a half.

As Zera lay unconscious on the treatment bed, Aella stopped Tyrone and said, “She’s about to wake up. You can’t keep going.”

Tyrone turned off the voice recorder in his hand and pulled Aella into the restroom.

He shut the door behind them and said, “You heard everything Zera admitted just now. This is why I kept her around.”

Aella stood at the sink, calmly disinfecting her hands.

She replied, “Tyrone, whatever drama you two have, I don’t care. She’s waking up, go back out there.”

Tyrone grabbed her arm, turning her to face him.

Holding back emotion, he spoke with difficulty.

“Aella, I regret not standing my ground before. I hurt you because of Zera, and I hate myself for it, but I never wanted to lose you because of her.”

He added, “I know you haven’t forgiven me yet, and I’ll wait. I’ll do whatever it takes to earn that back, but can you please stop being so cold to me?”

Aella pushed him away, her face serious. “Tyrone, not every mistake deserves forgiveness. Stop being so stubborn.”

Before she could say anything else, both of them heard a soft noise coming from outside.

Tyrone opened the bathroom door and saw Elvira entering the room. He and Elvira exchanged a quick look, then Aella walked out.

Elvira walked up to Aella and quietly reminded her, “Dr. Reid, she’s waking up.”

Aella nodded, her gaze shifting to her, still lying on the treatment bed.

Zera’s lashes fluttered as she slowly came to.

The moment her eyes opened, her first instinct was to grab her phone.
