HappyNovelChapter 1355 Obey Without Question Victor returned to his villa and opened the door to find Selena curled up on the couch, looking small and fragile.
He paused, his brow furrowing, and gently nudged her. "Selena?" Even in her sleep, Selena's face was tense. She was clearly exhausted, despite having been asleep.
"Dr. Barnes?" "Why are you sleeping here? Go upstairs to bed." Selena sat up slowly, yawning and pointing to the phone beside her. "I used your phone to call Raymond several times, but he didn't answer. I'm worried something might have happened to him." "He'll be fine. But you don't look well." "Really? I don't know why, but the more I sleep, the more tired I feel." She leaned back on the couch, looking drowsy, as if she couldn't hear Victor speaking.
Victor turned to the housekeeper. "How much did you use?" "Mr. Barnes, the maximum dose you specified." Victor looked at Selena's face and slowly waved his hand in front of her eyes.

When Selena woke up, she felt completely drained, even though she had slept all night. She rubbed her forehead and went downstairs, where she saw Victor reading a newspaper on the couch.
Selena asked, "Dr. Barnes, aren't you going out today?" "I met with the people I needed to see last night. Today, I can relax a bit." Selena picked up his phone and dialed Raymond's number again.
"Selena, what do you plan to say to Raymond once you find him?" "I want to be with him." "Do you remember the route you took to escape? We could tell Raymond and go back to see who exactly was holding you captive." Selena frowned and thought for a moment before shaking her head. "I don't remember. I feel like they've messed with my mind. I just want to contact Raymond as soon as possible." Victor finally looked up at her.

"We'll get in touch with him eventually. No need to rush. By the way, I met with the Smith family last night. Tessa's in strouble, and now Lawrence is pressuring Raymond to marry her. If Raymond refuses, the Smith family will go after him." Selena's heart sank. She really disliked Lawrence.
Lawrence's indulgence of Tessa knew no bounds. Even if Tessa committed murder, Lawrence would help cover it up.
But the Smith family was powerful, especially in Vistalia.
Victor said, "Selena, how about we meet with Lawrence and try to negotiate? Mr. Smith once askedto help find the real daughter of the Smith family. I have a lead, but I'm worried about getting into trouble." He leaned in closer, almost whispering, "I've already brought the real daughter of the Smith family here. I'll take her and you to meet Lawrence." "Dr. Barnes, haven't you told Mr. Smith about this?" "I wanted to, but the power in the Smith family has shifted to Lawrence. If Lawrence insists on protecting Tessa, Mr. Smith could be in danger. I hesitated and decided to test Lawrence first." His logic was sound.
Selena didn't know why, but she instinctively wanted to trust him.
It was as if a voice in her head kept telling her to trust him, that he wouldn't harm her.

"Selena, look at this. When it appears, you must choosewithout om hesitation, understand Victor pointed to the silver ring on his finger, his tone gentle. "When I turn it, you must obeyunconditionally." Selena frowned, feeling like she couldn't see anything clearly.
Victor asked the housekeeper, "Today's dose?" "Mr. Barnes, still the maximum." He nodded in satisfaction and gently touched Selena's chin. "If you agree, nod your head." Selena slowly nodded, not really understanding what she was doing.
"Now let's go see Lawrence. You're still unwell, so let's get your om medication first, okay?" "Okay." Selena lowered her eyes, like an obedient puppet.
Victor took the syringe from the table and injected it into her arm.
He assured her, "It won't harm you, just make you more compliant. It's a new formula, and we don't know the side effects yet. But whatever they are, I can save you." Selena quietly extended her arm, letting him administer the drug.
