Chapter 1092 Tina and Austin Connected
The next day.
Taking advantage of a trip to buy groceries, Emma bought a phone for Tina and also got her an anonymous SIM card.
When she got home, Emma didn't immediately give the phone to Tina. Instead, she waited until 3 PM when she brought tea to Tina, slipping the phone into her pocket to give it to her.
"Ms. Morris, here's the phone you asked for, with an anonymous SIM card inside."
Tina took the phone, played with it for a while, and after making sure it was fine, put it on silent and placed it under her pillow. Then she snapped her fingers.
Emma shivered again, instantly forgetting about buying the phone for Tina.
Tina took the tea from Emma's hand, drank it, and handed the empty cup back to her.
The habit of having Emma bring tea at 3 PM was something Tina had deliberately cultivated since she arrived. Because she knew that only her room and the bathroom were free of surveillance.
By establishing this habit, Emma entering her room wouldn't arouse Charles's suspicion.
Hypnotizing Emma to buy her a phone and SIM card also wouldn't make Charles suspicious. Once Emma left the room, she would completely forget about it.
"Thank you, Emma! I want to watch some TV in my room!"
What she meant was, don't disturb me. Emma immediately understood, nodded, and left the room.
After Emma left, Tina turned on the TV, tuned to a newly released show, and deliberately turned up the volume. Finally, she took the phone out from under her pillow.
When she turned on the phone, the first thing she did was not contact Austin but download a signal detection app to check the room.
After confirming there were no surveillance or listening devices, she opened her mailbox and started composing a message: [It's Tina!]
Just in case, she didn't directly call out Austin's name. This way, even if Charles discovered her phone one day and she didn't have time to destroy it, he wouldn't be able to trace the other party.
She was contacting Austin's anonymous account. An account only she knew, which Austin used solely to communicate with her.
She had memorized this number well. She just didn't know if Austin was still using this number after she had been locked up for so long.
A few minutes passed with no response from the phone. Tina started to get anxious, tapping her slender fingers on the phone repeatedly.
Only with Austin did she forget to stay calm. Only Austin could make her lose control.
After a few more minutes, there was still no response from Austin. Tina's anxiety grew.
Just as she was considering whether to contact Austin's regular phone number, her phone finally beeped, indicating a new message.
Her eyes lit up instantly, and she quickly looked down to open the phone.
Sure enough, the message was from Austin. He had only replied with a question mark.
Tina knew this was because Austin was cautious. He was afraid the person on the other end wasn't her, but also afraid it was her.
She immediately started composing another message: [Charles released me from the detention center. I'm under house arrest in an apartment in the city center, and he has assigned a nanny to take care of me, with two bodyguards at the door.]
[I hypnotized the nanny to buy me the phone and anonymous SIM card. Charles installed a lot of surveillance in the house, but only my bedroom and bathroom are free of it! I'm alone in the room right now.] After she sent the message, the screen showed that the other party was typing.
Austin took a long time to type, and finally sent just a few words: [Is it really you, Tina?]
Tina knew Austin was very cautious, so she took a selfie and sent it to him, along with her location.
This time, Austin finally believed it was really Tina on the other end.
Austin: [How could Charles release you so easily?]
Immediately after, he sent another message: [What exactly happened that night?]
Tina looked down and started typing: [That night, when I was preparing to smuggle Hannah out, Charles suddenly showed up with the police. I couldn't escape with Hannah. I knew that once we were caught, Hannah would reveal everything she knew. So I forcibly erased all her memories. Now she only remembers me and relies on me.]
Austin: [You forcibly erased her memories?]
Even through the network, Tina could sense Austin's anger.
Tina quickly explained: [Forcibly erasing her memories does cause significant harm to her body! But it was the only way at the time! If I didn't erase her memories, she would have exposed you. If I didn't make her rely solely on me, I would have lost a crucial weapon.]
Forcibly erasing memories did indeed harm the body. If not done properly, the hypnotized person could end up insane or mentally impaired.
That was why she had been gradually hypnotizing Hannah, which led to Hannah constantly calling for Charles.Because at that time, they had plenty of time and weren't in a hurry, so they could take it slow. No one expected Charles to find them so quickly.
To protect Austin, she had no choice but to do it. At that time, she was prepared to die if she failed.
Fortunately, she succeeded. Not only did she erase all of Hannah's memories about Austin and Charles, but she also made Hannah remember and rely solely on her. Her success this time could be written into textbooks.
After Tina sent the message, Austin didn't reply for a long time.
She thought he was angry and was considering how to appease him when Austin's message finally came through: [Fine, I know you did it for my sake! Since it's already done, there's nothing I can do even if I disagree! Fortunately, Hannah is fine now.]
Shortly after, another message came through: [What's the likelihood of Hannah regaining her memories? Could your hypnosis fail? Will she have any lasting side effects?]
Tina answered each question: [Only I can undo her hypnosis. If someone tries to forcibly undo it, her body will react strongly! Charles wouldn't want to see her suffer. My hypnosis won't fail. If she didn't go insane or become mentally impaired during the hypnosis, there won't be any major issues later.]
Reading her message, Austin let out a sigh of relief. These were the questions he feared the most.
Since Tina said the hypnosis wouldn't fail and wouldn't harm Hannah's body, it must be true. Now he could finally relax.
