Chapter 417 Dominated by an Invisible Force
"Ivy, what's wrong with you?" Alexander looked at Ivy with concern.
"Ever since we made love, you've been acting strange... No, it's been since we came back from the cave. You've been acting weirdly, like just now, constantly dancing as if someone is controlling you."
"Controlled?" Ivy suddenly felt scared. With teary eyes, she said, "Alexander, it feels like I'm really being controlled. As soon as I hear that song, there's an invisible force dominating me to dance. Even though I'm exhausted and don't want to dance at all, I can't stop..."
"Dominated by an invisible force?" Alexander became very uneasy. "Could it be the Magic Pearl?"
But then he realized it was unlikely. "Ivy, the Magic Pearl has been inside you for a while now, and at first, there were no such occurrences, right? I think it started after we came back from the cave, that's when you started acting strange."
"The cave..." Ivy recalled the incident of rescuing Leo from the cave and fell into deep thought.
Alexander had a feeling that Ivy was hiding something from him.
He held her face in his hands and said seriously, "Ivy, tell me, what exactly happened that night in the cave?"
Ivy's gaze became somewhat lost. "Why are you asking this? Wasn't I with you the whole time?"
Alexander shook his head. "No, there was a period of time when we were separated. It was when Thomas got bitten by a snake on his buttocks, and I asked you to stay away. What exactly did you experience during that time?"
"During that time... I was outside the whole time..." Ivy said, but then became uncertain.
Upon careful consideration, it seemed that something did happen that night.
When she saw Thomas's injury and wanted to come forward to treat him, she was driven away by the jealous Alexander.
Outside the door, she muttered with dissatisfaction, "What jealousy? I'm a doctor, for goodness sake..."
But at that moment, a flash of white light suddenly appeared in front of her.
The white light was like a shining blade, dazzlingly bright, flying towards the cave entrance. She felt curious and chased after the white light.
And then... what happened afterwards?
Her mind went completely blank!
She remembered that she did chase after the white light to the cave entrance, but the version of herself in her memory was looking at the diagrams on the cave walls.
And it was at that moment that Thomas came up to her and said, "Ivy, are you my sister Ivy? I'm Thomas, do you remember me?"
Ivy tried hard to remember the events of that night but felt that they were not coherent.
She remembers clearly that she followed the white light to the cave entrance, so why did she later find herself looking at the cave wall?
What happened after she went to the cave entrance? How did she return to the cave wall, and why does she have no recollection of it?
"Alexander, I seem to have lost a chunk of memory... Tell me, when you came out to see me after healing Thomas, was there anything wrong with me?"
"There was!"
Alexander carefully recalled the scene that night.
Serious and solemnly, he said, "Ivy, after I cured Thomas, I found that you were not at the entrance of the cave, but looking at the map on the wall. At that moment, you seemed to have changed, but it's hard to say what exactly changed. It's just a feeling that you have become a lot more beautiful than before, and your eyes have turned blue..."
At this point, Alexander suddenly nervously said, "Just a moment ago, when you woke up, your eyes were also blue, but it was only for a moment. Then you returned to normal."
"Blue? Perhaps it's that blue that took control of me, but what kind of power is it..." Ivy muttered in disbelief.
Alexander felt that this matter was extraordinary and that he had to uncover the truth. He asked, "Ivy, besides the uncontrollable desire to eat raw meat and the uncontrollable dancing, is there anything else that you can't control?"
As Ivy thought about the incident of her appearance changing on the day of her wedding, she couldn't help but say fearfully, "Yes, Alexander, I can't control my appearance. Whether I put on makeup or not, my appearance will automatically change, and it changes according to the environment..."
