Luna anxiously waited for a reply but instead, the phone vibrated with an incoming call. She answered it right away. 

"What are you saying? What do you mean the meds aren't working anymore?" A deep male voice asked in a perfect German accent. 

"Lanni stopped taking those tablets long ago. Their effect must have worn out already. Lanni has started to regain her memory. She might even have remembered things she shouldn't." Luna couldn't hide the worry in her voice. "How are things on your side?" 

There was the sound of what must be the man pouring something into a glass, probably wine. He took his time and gulped a loud swig then brought his attention back to the almost impatient Luna. "My side isn't safe." He enunciated every syllable like he was declaring a verdict that would determine the life or death of someone—which he sure was. "Lanni cannot come back here. She will die. The old man hates her to the core and will want to kill her as soon as he sees her. And trust me, she will surely want to come if she recovered her memory." 

"You're not helping." Luna hung up with an eyeroll. So what if Lanni couldn't go back? Now what? The man only knew to scare her and in the end, she would still be the one to come up with a strategy. There was no use talking to him. 

She gripped the phone and sunk into thought. The last time she thought Lanni might recover her memory, she had prevented that from happening by swapping her medicine with almost identical drugs that she had used up all her connections to find. As for how she managed to swap it, she simply had to walk into Li Yuming's villa when she was not there. 

She didn't have to say a word and everyone assumed that she was Lanni. That was also how she had dropped Lanni warning notes months ago, before she resorted to sending text messages. 

As for the drugs, Lanni must have grown resistance to them. Of course she would have. At least five months had passed since she stopped taking them and according to the person who gave them to her, the effect could only last for six months at the very most. Of course, at the very most meant it could be much sooner than six months. 

But that was not important. What was bugging her right now was that she couldn't possibly use the same method.If Lanni were to take more of those tablets, who knew how they would affect her. Besides, she had no prescription so there was nothing for her to swap to begin with. 

She went to the living room and sat on the sofa, trying to think of what to do. She didn't know Flynn that closely. She couldn't possibly trust him to take care of Lanni. Besides, he was fast to state that Lanni wouldn't be safe in that place. Why was it so difficult? 

An idea crossed her mind. Lanni mentioned that the hypnotist she was seeing was Ji Xiehan's friend. 

Quickly, she grabbed her laptop and sat back on the living room couch. Then she searched on Ji Xiehan's social media accounts for friends who were medics or related to the field. 

Because Ji Xiehan didn't have many friends on his personal social media accounts, it was easy to find and recognize the man. 

"Han Xichen. Now I want to be hypnotized." She exaggeratively giggled when she saw the display photo. The man was quite handsome. Getting back to business, she searched for where he lived and where he worked. 

Satisfied, she thought about how to plan a meeting with him. If all went well, she would negotiate with him so he would fail to hypnotize Lanni and in exchange, she would offer benefits. That way, Lanni would believe that she really couldn't be hypnotized. What a genius idea!

But thinking about it with a clearer mind, she slammed the laptop shut and stood up. What a dumb idea. What the heck was she even thinking? That was Ji Xiehan's friend. Which went to say that he might not agree to do anything against his friend's will. He might even rat her out. 

"Why are you pacing? This is so unlike you." Cheng Yu's voice interrupted her thoughts. 

"Oh, Xiao Yu. You were locked up in your room. Are you in a bad mood?" 

She was, but "Uhm… I asked you a question first, Luna." She interrupted before Xia Luna could brush her off. "You have never looked this anxious. Something is definitely wrong." 

"You're right. Something is horribly wrong Xiao Yu. Lanni is starting to remember things." 

Cheng Yu looked like she had been struck by a bolt of lightning. "No wonder." 

"No wonder what?" Luna raised an eyebrow inquisitively. "Come on, tell me." 

"No wonder she quit the art class. I was wondering why she did." Cheng Yu bit her bottom lip in panic. 

"Wait wait wait. She did what?" Luna was shocked witless. 

"Quit the art class." Cheng Yu promptly repeated her words. "She didn't tell you?" 

"You are telling me that Lanni left the art class?" 

"Yes." Cheng Yu didn't even want to think about it. "If you say that she is starting to regain her memory then it could be that she knows who she really is. Maybe she knows what her true passion is and that's why she is no longer interested in Art. After all, Aunty Li must have only made her go to art class to make her forget all about her past." 

Cheng Yu jabbered on for a while and Xia Luna was pacing, not even seeming to listen. But she suddenly stopped and glanced at Cheng Yu. "For the first time, I agree with Ms. Li. We have to stop it from happening. No matter what, Lanni cannot recover her memory." 

"And why not?" An upset voice asked from the door.
