Chapter 1058 A Fate Worse Than Death
Stella's tears of grievance welled up in her eyes. "I don't want to say it either! But... but what about your grievances? You've almost tortured yourself to death for her these past few days! Finally, you found her, but she forgot about you... It hurts me so much! How did things turn out this way?"
She originally thought that once they found Hannah, Charles and Hannah could live happily together. But this was the result. She couldn't accept it.
Charles explained, "It's okay! She just forgot about me; she doesn't see me as an enemy! At worst, I'll pursue her again, and we'll be together again. It's not a big deal, as long as she's safe and can stay by my side, that's enough."
Hearing his words, Stella felt even worse.
She threw herself into Charles's arms, crying uncontrollably. "Charles, you're so pitiful! You just got over the pain of losing Violet, and now Hannah is like this! That damn woman, why did she do this to Hannah? Hannah doesn't even know her."
Charles knew she was feeling sorry for him and patted her back. "It's okay! Now that we've found Hannah, as long as she's fine, that's all that matters. Don't scare her; she can't handle any more stress right now."
Stella knew very well that at this point, no matter how unwilling or sad she was, it wouldn't help.
She wiped her tears, sat by the bed, and tried to hold Hannah's hand, but Hannah pulled away.
Hannah pouted, feeling wronged. "You said bad things about Tina, you're a bad person, I don't like you anymore! I want to find Tina, where is Tina now? I want to find Tina."
Stella was about to explode with anger, feeling a lump in her chest. That damn woman Tina, what kind of sorcery did she use to make Hannah so dependent on her? This dependency used to belong to Stella.
Stella wanted to get angry but was afraid of scaring Hannah, so she took deep breaths repeatedly, suppressing her anger, and forced a smile. "Hannah, I'm sorry, I didn't mean it just now, I just spoke too quickly and said the wrong thing! Please don't be mad, okay?"
Hannah, like a child, turned her head away, crossed her arms, and said firmly, "If you don't want me to be mad, take me to find Tina. I want to see Tina. You promised me, you said you'd take me to see Tina! You're all liars, always lying to me."
Stella fell silent.
Charles knew they couldn't fool her anymore. It had been several days, and if they didn't bring Tina to see Hannah, she would only get more agitated.
"Okay! I'll go get her to see you now! Be good and don't be mad."
Hearing that he was going to bring Tina to see Hannah, Martin, Ryan, and Randy were all taken aback.
Although they had many questions, they didn't ask them in front of Hannah.
Hearing that Charles was finally willing to bring Tina to see her, Hannah immediately smiled happily. "Really? Then hurry up, I want to see Tina."
Charles repeatedly reminded her, "I'm going now! Wait for me here, remember, be good, don't make a fuss, just wait here for me."
Hannah nodded. "Okay! I won't go anywhere, I'll wait here for you."
Seeing Charles about to leave, Stella volunteered to go with him. She wanted to see what kind of monster Tina was to have such an effect on Hannah.
Martin also quietly followed them out. He stopped Charles while waiting for the elevator. "Are you really going to bring Tina to see Hannah?"
Charles's face was grim, and he said in a low voice, "I asked those two psychologists last time, and they said Hannah can't handle any more stress right now. This kind of brainwashing hypnosis is avoided by many doctors because it can be very harmful to people with strong wills who undergo hypnosis. It should have been done gradually, but Tina didn't."
Suddenly, Charles seemed to remember something and guessed, "Do you remember the police station Hannah went to before? She kept saying she wanted to to find me. But after I rescued her, she never mentioned finding me again!"
"When I jumped into the sea to chase Tina, I saw Tina look into Hannah's eyes for a moment, and then Hannah passed out."
"If I'm not mistaken, Tina, in her desperation, forcibly erased Hannah's memory without considering her safety. She was progressing too slowly before, so although Hannah forgot me, she instinctively wanted to find me." Martin's face was as cold as ice.
Martin said, "Tina is very cunning, I don't trust you to go alone, I'll go with you! We can bring her to see Hannah, but we must warn her about some things."
This feeling of hating Tina, wanting to kill her, but being completely helpless was really frustrating.
If it weren't for her forcibly erasing Hannah's memory, making Hannah depend only on her, he would have already made her face legal consequences, never to be free again.
Charles didn't refuse and nodded in agreement. They brought Stella to the detention center.
This time, Tina wasn't staring blankly out the window but was sitting on the bed, leaning against the wall, with her legs curled up and her arms around her knees, sitting quietly like a statue.
Stella stood outside the door and asked Charles, "Is it her?"
She didn't know it was a girl about her age. She thought someone so powerful must be an old woman.
Tina sat there quietly, not like the witch Ryan described.
Charles nodded. "Yes, it's her!"
After confirming it was her, as soon as the police opened the door, Stella rushed in and slapped her several times.
"What did Hannah ever do to you? Why did you do this to her? Does she know you? Did she kill your family? Are you insane? Why did you make her like this? Tell me, what's your purpose?"
Anyone who didn't know might think Tina liked Hannah! She erased all of Hannah's memories, making Hannah remember only her.
Tina's face instantly swelled up. But she didn't react at all, not even looking at Stella, still sitting quietly in the same position. Her mental strength was astonishing.
Stella was so angry, but the other person didn't react at all, even showing a hint of disdain and contempt for her anger.
She furiously grabbed Tina's cheeks and shook them wildly. "Speak up, why did you do this to Hannah? What did Hannah ever do to you? I'm telling you, Charles and my uncle don't hit women, but I have no such qualms. If you don't end Hannah's hypnosis, I'll make your life a living hell. Do you understand? I'll make you wish you were dead."
