Hallucination
Even after combing through the bathroom, he couldn’t find anyone.
All of a sudden, he heard a slight rustle that resonated from the bedroom.
Immediately, Mason made his way toward the bedroom.
When he entered the room, he caught sight of a seductive figure on the bed. Yet, the woman looked like
she was in great pain.
Mason stared at the woman for several moments before he strode toward the bed. Carefully, he pulled
Arielle’s hand away from her face.
Immediately, Mason jolted in astonishment.
Instead of Arielle, the woman was actually Yvette.
Why on earth is Yvette here?
Mason quickly moved to help Yvette into an upright position. “Yvette, are you alright?” he coaxed gently
as he shook her shoulders in an attempt to wake her up.
Upon Mason’s words, Yvette’s eyes fluttered wide open, and she locked gazes with him.
Just as Mason wanted to ask her why she was in the room, he felt a throbbing pain that pounded in his
head. Immediately, his vision turned blurry.
“Yvette…” Mason mumbled before he collapsed onto the bed. Promptly, he lost consciousness.
Arielle pushed Mason’s limp body off her and rose to her feet with an impassive expression.
To tell the truth, she wasn’t Yvette. In fact, the woman’s identity belonged to none other than Arielle.
Mason had hallucinated and mistook her for Yvette instead.
Arielle tucked her gold needle away. For a brief moment, she looked at Mason with an expression of
slight surprise before a mischievous smile tugged the corner of her lips upwards.
It seems like my cousin has a crush on Yvette. No wonder Cindy picked him. Mason is an excellent
candidate because he will not betray Yvette. He also harbors a deep hatred toward me. After all, I once
hurled him into the sea.
The room was so quiet that it was pin-drop silence. Gradually, the warmth in Arielle’s bright gaze faded
away.
If I had been an ordinary woman, Yvette and Cindy would have torn me to pieces! Fortunately, I have a
few tricks up my sleeve.
Coincidentally, the contents found within the aromatherapy candle that Yvette had prepared were
substances that Arielle invented a few years ago.
She created the substances by accident. However, experimentation with her creations revealed that it
could act as a cure for victims with autism as it strengthened their mental health. I can’t believe that it got
leaked into the market, and people are now using it for harm instead of good.
Yet, she looked at the situation from a different perspective. The drug that she’d created was extremely
effective. It could cause hallucinations, and anyone who fell under the drug’s influence would not be able
to distinguish reality from illusion.
With a determined look, Arielle bent forward to hoist Mason’s body upwards.
Despite her immense strength, carrying a fully-grown man was no easy feat. It’s a relief that Mason is as
skinny as a stick. I can still withstand his weight. On the other hand, Vinson has a tall and muscular
figure. I wouldn’t be able to move him at all!
Wait a minute, why was I thinking of Vinson all of a sudden?
Is the cure starting to lose its effect? No, no, the drug will reveal the true feelings of one’s heart. I don’t
have any feelings for Vinson. Even if I begin to hallucinate, he won’t appear. I’m overthinking things.
Arielle inhaled deeply to calm her nerves and continued to move Mason.
The play had just begun; thus, Arielle didn’t want to waste any more time lingering on such thoughts.
Back in the lobby, Yvette tricked a young woman. Foolishly, the young woman fell for her schemes and
shifted their conversation topic to talk about the renovations in Yvette’s mansion.
The young woman was the one who had tried to accuse Arielle in Harvey’s home. Yet, at that time, she’d
ended up humiliating herself instead.
“Yvette, I heard that you just finished renovating your house last year. The new designs must look
stunning! Once the birthday party is over, you should bring us around for a tour!” The words spilling out
of the young woman’s mouth were nothing but white lies to flatter Yvette.
