Daddy, Mommy had been in Prison novel Chapter 468

“Sorry. I’ll take this call first.”

Robert took the phone and walked outside. Georgia sat opposite Vincent.

“Mr. Poole, you can just tell me the results. I’ll tell Robert about it later.”

“The child’s situation isn’t serious. He’s only a few years old and a child’s memories aren’t that stable in the first place. They’re easily guided. It was just a simple trick to get him to forget all about his past.”

Georgia loosened, then asked concernedly.

“Mr. Poole, can you help Wesley recover his memory? I don’t understand it too well, but can you reverse this type of hypnosis? If you can, I’d appreciate your help.”

“Theoretically, it’s possible. If one can be hypnotized into losing their memory and instead getting a new one crafted, one can naturally recover them as well. But even to an adult with a strong will, if they get their memories muddled from hypnosis, once their real memories recover, it’s possible their fake memories will get mixed up with their real ones and affect their understanding of the world around them. You know about split personalities? They’ll make worlds for themselves. We’ve experienced things like this in our line of work. Sometimes, some people can’t take the fake memories and their real memories all mixed together, and can no longer tell them apart.

“For Wesley, he’s too young. He never had a deep understanding of the world around him in the first place. If I tried to recover his real memories, he might not be able to tell them apart at all. He could end up as I described, gathering those fake memories into a persona that could affect his main personality and his mindscape. I don’t suggest recovering his past memories. He’s too young and might not have a good grasp of his real memories. He still can’t tell what’s real and fake yet.”

Georgia understood Vincent’s meaning.

It was doable, but once done, it was possible to mix the real and fake consciousness together and affect a person’s regular cognition.

To Wesley, who was still a small child, it was an even higher probability.

So Vincent advised against it.

“I understand. If that’s a possibility, then we might as well give up. He’s happy now, and to him, there weren’t many memories before he was six anyway. It’s not that important whether he remembers them or not.”

The only important thing that Wesley could remember was who he was, and even though Georgia really wanted to know that, she wasn’t willing to take such a huge risk of hurting a child’s mental condition.

All just for a somewhat important bit of information.

Vincent smiled and nodded.

“I thought the same way too. He’s only six. Six-year-olds don’t have that much memory of their past life anyway, and it’s not too important to forget them. It’s with adults that losing too much of your memory really affects their lives.”

Georgia let it go.

She found it a bit strange, though, that Robert still wasn’t back after taking the call.

She turned to Vincent and smiled apologetically.

“Mr. Poole, rest up for now. I’ll tell Robert the results. He seems to be occupied, and I’ll go over to see him.”

Georgia got up and made to leave, while Vincent mentioned something else.

“I hear you two might be headed overseas. Is that true?”

Georgia nodded.

“I have a friend where you’re heading and he’s going to have his birthday soon. I have a gift for him. Can you do me a favor and bring it over to him?”
