Austin’s hands wandered to his throat, and his mouth opened and shut. There was still no sound to be heard. He was starting to get anxious as sweat began to form on his forehead. On the other hand, Lily turned her back on him and continued concentrating on her experiment.
Austin was panicking. Although he didn't know what was happening, he knew it had something to do with Lily.
Without much thought, he tapped her shoulder. However, she did not pay attention to him as she bent over and stared at the test tubes in front of her. In response, he tapped her shoulder again and again.
At this point, Lily was so annoyed that she turned around and impatiently poked him twice. "Are you done?!"
Austin was stunned. This time, not only did he lose his voice, he couldn't even move his hands. This feeling was weird and terrifying. He stood there as his eyes darted around. It was as if he was trapped in a nightmare.
In just a blink, he was subverted. Was there such an acupressure point in this world? Why was this woman, whom he hated most of all, so difficult to deal with?
Although he refused to believe such things existed, he could not explain why he was rooted to the ground, unable to speak or move.
Sweat began to drip down his cheeks. He desperately wanted to break free from the shackles. It was a strange feeling. However, no matter how hard he tried, it was all futile. It was all too strange.
Lily was satisfied that she finally shut him up and continued her experiment.
People were generally not allowed to come in and out at their own will while she was conducting her experiments. Other than Thompson, no one was allowed in without her permission, and no one would dare to make noise.
