Chapter 1202: He Delights in Toying with Minds, Forcing Them to Live in Hell Like Him
"About eight or nine years ago, I can vaguely recall some past events, but when I try to think carefully, I can’t remember anything," Leah said ambiguously, partly because she didn’t trust the doctor enough and partly because her past involved the Shaw Family and the explosion case, which couldn’t be easily revealed.
Dr. Liao’s eyes flashed with a certain brilliance as he looked at her medical record and said, "You have undergone several surgeries in recent years. Although the intervals between them were long, your body is still somewhat overwhelmed. Did Miss Squire suffer severe injuries that led to amnesia?"
Leah nodded and briefly explained, "The amnesia was caused by severe injuries from an accident, and later I took medications that suppressed memory and alleviated nervous exhaustion due to headaches."
"There are many types of amnesia, and Miss Squire’s condition, combined with both medication and hypnosis would yield better results. Headaches might be caused by mental exhaustion and overthinking. Hypnosis can be more effective than medication in some cases," Dr. Liao said gently. "The human brain is a unique existence; subconsciously, it avoids harm. The lost memories could be as gentle as a lamb or as enclosed as a devil. Once revealed, their effects are completely different."
"So, if the amnesia doesn’t significantly affect your life, it’s advisable to just take some nerve-nourishing medication and go with the flow without forcing anything."
"If I must recover my memories, wouldn’t hypnosis be quicker? Dr. Liao’s hypnosis therapy is well-known both domestically and internationally. Can it treat my amnesia?" Leah squinted slightly, her peach blossom eyes looking coolly at the doctor in front of her. She had checked his resume. Dr. Liao, despite his young age, claimed his position in neurology solely due to his hypnosis therapy.
His hypnosis therapy is said to be patented in the United States, and in the past few years since returning to the country, he has cured many patients, which established his reputation.
Leah thought about his voice. The man speaks neither fast nor slow, even quite slowly, with a peculiar frequency in his voice that fosters goodwill between people. She has always been cautious of the outside world, but realizing she began to trust this doctor whom she hadn’t met before, she guessed there must be some trick involved.
Dr. Liao slightly smiled and said, "Each case is different, and whether my hypnosis therapy has any effect on Miss Squire’s amnesia will be known after testing. However, I have other patients to see later. Miss Squire should first take an imaging scan, and if you want to undergo hypnosis testing, another appointment will be necessary."
Dr. Liao checked his schedule and apologized, saying, "My appointments are booked until the end of the month, the earliest testing for Miss Squire can be done fifteen days later."
Upon hearing this, Leah frowned slightly. Another fifteen days? She could pay him extra to treat her privately after work, but given it was their first contact, she said nothing, thanked him, and went for a set of scans without scheduling another session.
After she went out, Dr. Liao informed the nurse via intercom that he was taking a break from seeing patients.
The man reviewed the medical records in hand, took photos of each page with his phone, and sat in the black leather armchair, his gentle exterior revealing a hint of darkness. He had confirmed that Leah Squire was the survivor of the explosion years ago. Leah Squire, Griffith Squire? What mysteries might be hidden in this sibling pair?
This woman must be crucial to Richard Shaw, he didn’t mind treating her amnesia since such gruesome past isn’t easily accepted by ordinary people.
His eyes behind the glasses flashed, showing a hint of gruesome smile. He enjoyed toying with people’s minds; rather than taking lives without technicality, he preferred destroying the peaceful lives of others, making them live in hell with him and appreciate the different scenery of this world.
Leah took the scans and brought back some nerve-nourishing medication, feeling at a loss regarding treating her amnesia.
Back at the small villa, she took the medication and fell asleep. When she woke up, it was already dusk. Her phone was set to silent, showing several missed calls from Griffith Squire, Hawk Howard, Richard Shaw, and surprisingly from Calliope Shaw, as if they had all agreed to call at the same time.
Leah rubbed her temples, feeling even more exhausted after the nap, as if she had been trapped in a nightmare, her heart weighed down by a heavy stone, feeling extreme discomfort.
Leah called Griffith Squire back, her voice somewhat hoarse as she asked, "Did you want to see me for something?"
"I sent Cornelius to Imperial City," Griffith Squire was waiting for dinner at the Coldwell residence. Recently, Aurora Coldwell had developed a new hobby besides painting — cooking.
Griffith Squire’s stomach was tormented by the strange flavors daily, praising her cooking after meals and secretly sneaking into the kitchen at midnight for snacks.
The young girl rarely stepped out of the world of painting, and Griffith felt a little hardship was worth it and encouraged her, thus losing three pounds in a week, struggling between starvation and overeating every day.
"Cornelius said you recalled some past events. I sent him to look after you. If I went, I’d attract too much attention," Griffith Squire said languidly, his peach blossom eyes narrowing.
If he arrived in Imperial City, Richard Shaw would certainly notice. When Leah’s memory fully recovered, who knows if the man might act irrationally.
"I went to see the neurologist today. To recover my memory, hypnosis therapy is necessary. Could you check on this doctor for me?" Leah forwarded Dr. Liao’s information via WeChat. Her memories were already stirring, and even without therapy, they would return over time, but Leah couldn’t wait.
She keenly sensed Griffith Squire’s strange reactions. It was just a memory recovery, yet Griffith sent Cornelius over; was he worried something might happen in Imperial City?
"Cornelius will arrive tonight. Keep your distance from Richard Shaw; it’s said his lost love wasn’t self-exiled but taken out from the psychiatric hospital. You should also be cautious when you go out," Griffith Squire shared the information he had acquired, seriously advising, "Richard Shaw holds a high position, with many enemies. Keep Cornelius with you wherever you go."
Griffith Squire was naturally aware of Luna Lawrence, had she not gone mad later, he would have acted earlier.
Unexpectedly, Luna disappeared from the psychiatric hospital last year, and investigations revealed a shadowy hand behind it. Griffith Squire became alarmed, as Leah had nearly died in an explosion back then, all thanks to Richard Shaw. Who knows how many enemies the man had.
