Dear Ex-wife Marry Me novel (Maja) novel Chapter 1609

He concocted a potion, the kind that could bewitch a mind completely, but even with all his might, he could only create three doses. The ingredients were scarce, you see."

"You mean that hallucinogenic stuff you mentioned, Doctor?"

She let out a sardonic chuckle, "Hallucinogens are child's play compared to his concoction. His potion could make a person so compliant they'd do anything he commanded. How he came up with it, I've no clue. Of course, the higher-ups are in the dark too. Anyway, he's likely long gone. After he left, the base was thrown into chaos for a while. They even issued a manhunt, insisting he be brought back."

But they never caught him. Eric was a slippery one - if he wanted, he'd always stay hidden.

"After he left, I kept wondering how to replicate that potion. But he torched all his data. What I managed to piece together could only hypnotize someone into spilling the truth, and even then, just enough to smuggle out items for me."

"So that map, that must've been carried out by Summer himself, without his own knowledge."

Sarah arched an eyebrow, surprised.

"Why do you suspect him?"

"It's a bold guess, but if the Doctor wants me to take him out, it means you can't stand the guy. But we cores of the base barely meet, let alone know each other's pasts. You despise Philip and his mentor too, yet you're not rushing to off them. That tells me your beef with Summer is personal, something outside these walls. You've been outside before, haven't you? You also mentioned your unstable health, and then dropped Eric's name. Looks like you've got a dual set of memories in that head of yours."
