"Ji Hanyu, what should we do?" Bai Haoxue was nearly in tears with anxiety. Ji Hanyu picked up little Beiting, gently patting his back with an extremely gentle and magnetic voice, "Don’t be afraid, Dad is here... Dad is here... All the bad guys have been chased away by Dad..."
As if feeling Ji Hanyu’s presence, the unconscious little Beiting clung tightly to him, refusing to let go.
Ji Hanyu patiently comforted him, and gradually, little Beiting’s anxiety eased away.
He slowly calmed down, as if he fell into a deep sleep, yet his small hand still held onto Ji Hanyu tightly.
Seeing this, Bai Haoxue suddenly remembered that time little Beiting ran away from home to find her at a hotel, the little guy told her many of Ji Hanyu’s dark past.
Little Beiting even earnestly said, "Daddy often has nightmares, he needs me to hug him to fall asleep."
At that time, she thought to herself that little Beiting must have gotten it the other way around.
However, she found it difficult to imagine Ji Hanyu being gentle, patient, and full of fatherly love as he comforted little Beiting to sleep when he had nightmares.
After all, what she had seen were the father and son bickering whenever they disagreed.
But at this moment, Ji Hanyu’s way of comforting little Beiting was so familiar and natural, gentle and full of dependence and security.
Little Beiting was indeed calmed by him.
It seems that he had done this often in the past.
Compared to her helplessness, Ji Hanyu was more than just composed and poised.
Ji Hanyu said, "He’s just having a nightmare, don’t worry too much. When he just came to Snowfield Manor, he was like this almost every night.
The trauma and harm left by the Ji Family’s old lady were too great."
That’s why he asked Chu Yin’er to help him with hypnosis.
Since moving into Snowfield Manor, little Beiting had not suffered any hardship.
The harsh environment in the desert these past few days might have triggered those bad memories in his subconscious.
Plus, with him having a cold, fever, and being thoroughly exhausted, his mental and physical states were at their weakest.
The memories that had been suppressed by hypnosis seemed to see an opportunity and slowly resurfaced...
Hypnotized memories can be awakened and recalled through external stimuli.
"So, what if little Beiting remembers those bad memories in the future? We can’t just hypnotize him again."
Repeated hypnosis on the same matter is severely harmful to the hypnotized person’s body and mind.
Furthermore, the more times a person is hypnotized, the greater the physical harm.
"Let’s take it as it comes," Ji Hanyu said, "When he was young, he was too little to bear those things, so we chose to avoid them, and I chose to help him escape.
If, when he grows older or up, he still cannot bear them, then I might choose to wipe them out."
Bai Haoxue: "..."
A moment ago, he was a gentle, loving, and doting father.
Now, in an instant, he turned into a strict and harsh father.
"Alright, you should rest quickly too, we still have a long journey tomorrow."
Ji Hanyu placed little Beiting in the middle, covering both him and Bai Haoxue with his coat.
Bai Haoxue was truly exhausted, and soon she fell into a deep sleep.
She didn’t know how long she slept, but then she sniffed, as if she smelled blood.
No, it wasn’t as if; she really did smell blood...
