Love Comes Secretly After Their Contract Marriage novel Chapter 417

"I'm fine!" Yvonne withdrew her hand. “Just a little dizzy."

"Dizzy?" Shane frowned. "Let me see."

Shane stretched his hand to touch her forehead, but she took a step back and declined.

"It's fine, Shane." She shook her head and said that she was alright. Then, she locked eyes with Dr. Carter and brought the topic up again. "Dr. Carter, when you said that it's difficult, are you saying that he can't wake up?"

"That’s not what I mean," Dr. Carter sighed. "Perhaps it’s not that he can't wake up, but more that he doesn’t want to wake up."

"Doesn't want to wake up?" Yvonne wrinkled her nose. "What does that mean?"

"It means that Elliot can wake up at any time as long a s he wants to. But he hasn't woken up now, which shows that he doesn't want to wake up," Shane simply explained.

Dr. Carter nodded. "Yes, that’s right."

"How...” Yvonne opened her mouth in disbelief. "He doesn't want to wake up, but why doesn't he want to?" "There are two scenarios," Dr. Carter said.

Yvonne was agitated. "Which two?"

"One is that the reality is too painful and sad for him, s o he doesn’t want to wake up. He doesn't want to face the reality," Dr. Carter looked at Yvonne and explained the first scenario.

Yvonne muttered, "Painful... Does his identity cause him that much pain?"

"Not necessarily. Since he chose to help you guys and betrayed Shaw Taylor, it means that he accepted his identity, so I don’t think this is the case," Shane vetoed.

Yvonne pursed her lower lip, "Dr. Carter, what's the second scenario then?"

"The second is that he wants something in reality, but he can't get it. He can only get it in his dreams, so he doesn't want to wake up because he knows very well that everything will disappear when he wakes up," Dr. Carter replied.

Yvonne's pupils dilated for a moment. "What he wants, but he can't get it... can it be..."

"What's the matter, Yvonne? What are you thinking about?" Shane asked her.

Yvonne's body trembled and she panicked. "No, that's not true. How is it possible..."

Shane looked at her worriedly. "What’s the matter, Yvonne?" "Dr. Carter." Yvonne ignored Shane's concern and grabbed Dr. Carter's sleeve anxiously. "Dr. Carter, please tell me. Can a human be the things that he wants but can't get?"

"Of course. In fact, people are more likely to have an obsession with a human rather than an object," Dr. Carter replied.

Yvonne loosened her grip and grasped her hair while she broke down. "It's me... It's me..."

"What’s the matter with you?" Shane saw that her mood was fluctuating more. He was worried that she would hurt her fetus, so he put his hand on her shoulder.

Yvonne looked at him with her red eyes. "I'm guilty if Elliot doesn't want to wake up because of his obsession."

"What do you mean?" Shane was stunned at first, then he suddenly reacted. His eyes widened slightly and he said in surprise, "You're saying that Elliot treats you..."

Yvonne nodded with tears in her eyes. "Yes, Elliot has always been interested in me. He confessed to me several times and he even said that he'd take me abroad. If I'm guessing correctly, I’m his obsession."

Suddenly, Shane didn't know what else to say.

Although he knew that she had a good relationship with Elliot, he didn’t know that Elliot had affection for her.

"Shane, what should I do?" Yvonne covered her face and her voice was full of pain. "If Elliot doesn't want to wake up because of me, how can I explain t his to Henry?"

"Don't panic." Shane hugged her lightly. "We're not sure which scenario Elliot’s in now that he doesn’t want to wake up. Perhaps it’s not because of you?"

"But earlier...”

"Alright," Shane interrupted her and patted her back." Don't think so much. Dr. Carter will hypnotize himself into Elliot’s dreams and we’ll know the reason why Elliot doesn’t want to wake up."

"Into his dreams?” Yvonne stopped sobbing for a while, got up from his arms, and looked at the awkward Dr. Carter.
