Addicted To The Genius Lady With A Thousand Faces

Chapter 452:

Franco could have moved a long time ago. Marissa had administered just a slight amount of anesthetic on the needle. About ten minutes after the application, Franco should have regained his ability to move.

However, Marissa’s threatening words had mentally conditioned him into believing that he couldn’t move until she removed the needle. Thus, he remained motionless for more than two hours, his eyes the only parts of him stirring, until numbness took over his body.

Panic ensued swiftly, and he instinctively curled up, yet his body was so numb that he began to convulse. Sprawled among the spilled water and flopping fish, he appeared to be in the throes of a seizure.

Allyson was stricken with terror and hurried to his aid. Franco implored with a pitiful voice, “Don’t move! Mom, please don’t move me!”
