Chapter 273
Looking at Marina who was already in the car, Jarod gritted his teeth so hard that they were about to break.
He really wanted to turn around and return to the airport. Then, he would buy a ticket and leave.
However… In the end, Jarod resigned himself to fate and walked towards Marina with his luggage.
He was not afraid of her.
It was just that she had told him on the phone that she had a very rare case.
The reason why he chose to stay was purely for medical research.
It had absolutely nothing to do with Marina.
Jarod silently hypnotized himself in his heart.
Maybe the hypnosis worked too well because when he got into the car, he completely ignored Marina and Simon sitting in,
the back.
He instructed Gavin who was in the driver’s seat.
“Drive!”
His commanding and authoritative tone made it seem as if he owned the car.
Gavin glanced up at Marina through the rearview mirror.
It was as if he was asking for her opinion.
“Why are you looking at her? Just do as I say!” Jarod spotted what Gavin was up to and instantly expressed his annoyance.
“Listen to him,” Marina, who was at the back, said leisurely, not caring about Jarod’s arrogant attitude at all.
When Jarod heard this, his chin immediately raised higher.
See?
Even Marina was stunned by him.
As expected, he would soon be in charge!
However, in the next moment, Marina spoke again.
“After all, kids need some sweet talk. In the future, as long as he’s not being unreasonable, we’ll just go along with him.”
“Yes, Miss Bailey.” Gavin immediately nodded.
“Marina Bailey, what do you mean? Who are you calling a kid? Who are you suggesting?” Jarod couldn’t keep calm anymore. He swung around and glared at Marina intensely.
“I’m suggesting whoever is speaking, Marina replied coolly.
Jarod was speechless.
Hmph!
Jarod didn’t know whether to speak or not.

In the end, he returned to his seat angrily.
Even his hair was showing that he was very angry.
Seeing him react that way, Marina couldn’t help but smile even more.
This guy was as easy to manipulate as ever.
He had no self–awareness of his own behavior, yet he had the audacity to daydream about being the boss all the time.
What an idiot!
Half an hour later.
The car stopped in front of the Hernandez family’s gate.
Marina got out of the car first.
Then, she gave instructions to Gavin.
“Bring Mr. Wendell’s luggage in.”
“Yes, Miss Baily.” Gavin quickly replied.
It was only then that Jarod’s tense expression eased a little.
However, when he got out of the car and looked at Marina, he could not help but snort.
It was as if Marina was his enemy.
Gavin was a little puzzled as he watched from the side.
Did Miss Bailey invite this person to treat Mr. Edward Hernandez?
Why did this person seem to dislike Miss Bailey?
“You’ve come a long way. Do you want to take some rest first, or do you prefer to see the patient now?” Marina didn’t find anything wrong with Jarod’s attitude.
After all, they had been getting along like this ever since they met.
“Well, to see the patient, of course! If I wanted to rest, would I have bothered to take a ten–hour flight to get here?”
“Is my sea view room unpleasant, or is my designer bed uncomfortable to sleep on?” Jarod rolled his eyes at Marina.
“Then let’s go see the patient. Marina ignored him and glanced at Simon beside her.
Simon immediately led the way.
After the three of them entered the villa, Simon did not go upstairs.
Instead, he showed them to the elevator and they all went down to the second basement.
When the security guard at the elevator door saw Simon, he quickly moved aside.
Every now and then, there would be two guards on watch.
When Jarod saw this, he could not help but frown.
“Who do you want me to save? It won’t cause me any trouble, right?” Jarod lowered his voice and asked.

“Are you scared of getting into trouble?” Marina retorted.
Jarod rolled his eyes at her.
At this moment, Simon, who was leading the way, had already stopped.
“Open the door.” Simon said to the two guards standing at the door.
They immediately opened the door for them.
“Come in.” Simon looked back at Marina and Jarod.
Jarod retracted his gaze from Marina and walked into the room.
The room’s decor felt unusually chilly.
It was probably because the room was filled with all kinds of medical equipment.
Jarod looked around and fixed his gaze on the man lying on the bed.
He looked very pale and his breathing was very shallow.
However, his expression was very calm.
It was as if he had just fallen asleep.
“Is this the patient you told me about?” Jarod asked.
“Yes, he was forcefully hypnotized and has been in a coma.”
“We’ve tried everything we can think of, but we just can’t seem to wake him up.”
“And the only switch that can awaken him will cause his temperament to change drastically, turning him into a murderous. demon.” Marina briefly explained the situation of Edward to Jarod.
Upon hearing this, Jarod’s frown grew even deeper..
“From what you’re saying, he must have been hypnotized.”
“Furthermore, the hypnosis runs quite deep, which takes a toll on the body. It’s incredibly draining.”
“If he doesn’t wake up in time, he might die in his sleep,” Jarod said.
“Yes, the doctor mentioned that his condition is deteriorating day by day, Simon quickly replied.
“However, if he were to wake up abruptly, it could potentially cause irreversible damage to his body.”
“After all, there aren’t any established norms or guidelines for hypnosis so far.”
“Every hypnotist has their own unique approach. Based on what you’ve mentioned, it’s likely that someone has tampered with his memories”
That’s why if the awakening process is mishandled, there’s a high risk of damaging his memory pathways.”
“If the situation worsens, it could lead to a memory disorder and potentially progress into a mental illness.”
“If the condition is mild, he may experience headaches, a decline in memory, or even insomnia.”
Upon hearing Jarod’s words, Simon’s expression turned grave.
At the same time, his eyes were filled with intense hatred.

Those people had gone too far!
They actually went to such extremes to deal with Edward.
“Is there any way to wake him up without causing harm to his body?” Simon calmed himself down and asked.
