All Chapters of Side Chick Era… Over: Chapter 1891 - Chapter 1900

"On top of that," Carmen continued, "the shock of your disappearance and his faked death loosened the hold that his previous hypnosis had on him. Right now, the only way to truly treat him is through hypnosis."There was a faint, almost mocking edge in her tone."Thomas is too clever. He probably knew long before you or I did, which is why he chose to hide the truth. Sharon, don't assume a patient knows nothing about their own illness. On the contrary, he understands himself better than anyone. Some things only he can fully grasp."The genetic condition in the Ferrero family has never been a secret. Every family head studies their own condition meticulously, looking for ways to treat or slow its progression. From the moment Thomas decided to hide it, he knew clearly that the only real cure was hypnosis. But he didn't want to undergo it—he didn't want to forget you—so he chose to deceive everyone instead."Sharon frowned. "But hiding it doesn't benefit him. It will only make things

Being the head of the Ferrero family meant facing pressures and competition far beyond what ordinary people could imagine. By the time they ascended to that position, their mental state was often already fragile. External stresses alone could push them toward breakdowns—or worse.On top of that, the genetic flaws inherent in the Ferrero bloodline meant that each family head was unusually prone to insanity. This also explained why the mediocre members of the Ferrero family mostly lived peaceful lives—they never had to wade into the scheming, and they avoided the bloodshed.A flicker of hope sparked in Sharon's chest."Do you think… there's any chance Thomas could be cured?"Xavier's voice was low, almost distant. "Sharon, I can't answer that with certainty. Everything I say is only speculation. My impressions of the Ferrero family aren't great, especially because of what happened with my sister."I've studied the family's illnesses, yes, but defining it purely as a disease is too s

Sharon's expression was complicated as she looked at the two of them. "John, Ginny… how do you plan to handle this?"Ginny drew a deep breath. "John is involved only because of me. This… doesn't require him to take responsibility."Wendy, always quick to speak her mind, interjected, "But this has already spread, and it's bound to have an impact. If you acknowledged being in a relationship, it would be different. But if you just let it go, it could seriously damage Ginny's reputation."It was practically the same as being caught in bed together. Wendy muttered under her breath, "Ginny, that so-called 'plastic best friend' of yours really knows how to play dirty… she's practically putting you on the fire."The world's standards for women were always harsher than for men. Ginny had only recently ended her engagement with Rick, yet now she had been photographed entering a hotel room with another man. If they were officially dating, it might have been okay—but without that, the gossip w

Because of the surgery on her hand, it had been a long time since Sharon had personally stepped into the kitchen to cook for Thomas.She moved with practiced ease—washing vegetables, slicing, stir-frying. Soon, the entire room was filled with the warm, enticing aroma of food.After setting the final dish on the table, Sharon glanced at the clock. Thomas should be home any minute now.No sooner had the thought crossed her mind than the sound of the door opening came from the entryway.Thomas walked in.Seeing the table laden with dishes, he showed no surprise. Instead, he smiled and walked over, studying the spread before him."It smells amazing. What delicious dishes did you prepare for me today?"Thomas was not the kind of man who liked to dampen the mood. If he had been home while she was cooking, worried that her hand might not have fully healed, he would never have allowed her into the kitchen. But now that everything was already done, even for her own good, he would not say

Matty was a strong child and rarely cried.Hearing that he had been crying, Sharon immediately asked, "Matty, what's wrong? Did something happen?"Sniffling, Matty said sadly, "Sharon, I might be taken away soon. If they take me away, I'm afraid I'll never see you again…"Sharon's voice grew serious. "Taken away? To where?""I don't know," Matty replied. "Recently, a lot of strangers have come to the house. They said Dad isn't my biological father—that they're from my real father's side of the family and want to take me back to my real home. Dad doesn't want me to go with them, so they keep coming to the house every day to find him…"I don't want to go back, but I don't want to cause Dad any trouble either. If he really isn't my biological father… then maybe I should just go."Sharon's eyelid twitched.The people from Matty's biological father's side… weren't they members of the Ferrero family?After all these years, why would they suddenly show up to claim the child?Without h
