Tiffany froze for a moment, suddenly recalling how Thalia and Charlie Kelley had also fallen into a deep sleep after being hypnotized. Thalia and Charlie couldn’t even remember what had happened that day. Tiffant had studied hypnosis before. She wasn’t an expert, but knew enough to give it a shot.

Jeremy, who had been resting, ran in upon hearing the commotion. Moments later, a team of doctors rushed in and began emergency resuscitation.
