Makenna's heart thumped and she suddenly realized that she had overreacted, which aroused his suspicion.
She pinched herself, quickly adjusted her state of mind, shook her head and said, "No, I'm not afraid. I'm just worried."
"What are you worried about that?" Jared still looked at her.
Makenna pretended to be very sad. "I'm worried that the doctor will lock me up. I saw it on TV. They'll lock the psychopaths in a room. Jared, will I be locked up too?"
She grabbed Jared by the sleeve.
Jared's doubts were dispelled. He stroke her hair and said, "No, it's all fake on TV. The doctor will only guide you slowly and won't do anything bad to you."
"Really?" Makenna looked at him with some uneasiness.
Jared nodded. "Really, don't worry."
"Well, since you said that, I'm relieved. Jared, I am going to the bathroom." Makenna loosened his sleeve and pretended to smile at ease.
Jared nodded. "Okay."
Makenna turned and walked to the bathroom.
After entering the bathroom, she closed the door and the expression on her face instantly became gloomy.
She sat on the toilet lid, took out her cell phone and made a call.
The call was soon connected. Elias Lansdale had just finished an operation. He said with a tired voice, "Makenna, what happened?"
"Elias, I need your help." Makenna gripped her phone and said in a low voice.
Elias asked, "What can I do for you? Is it Amber's pregnancy?"
"No, Amber's pregnancy is not urgent now. It's something about me. Jared found a shrink and wanted to take me to see him, but I'm not ill at all. What if I go and be exposed by the doctor?" Makenna asked anxiously.
If Jared told her about finding a doctor in advance, she still had time to contact and ask the doctor to help her.
But it happened all of a sudden, so she couldn't do anything at all. She was exasperated.
"So you want me to help you find a way to deal with the psychologist and let him diagnose you as schizophrenia, right?" Elias immediately understood what Makenna meant.
"Yes, Elias, please help me."
"It's very easy." Elias pulled his office chair out and sat down. "When you go to see the shrink, he will certainly try to induce your second personality to come out, by which he can confirm whether you have split personalities or not. So, you just need to put on a show."
"Acting?" Makenna frowned.
"Yes, acting. Your second personality is an existence full of hatred for Amber. So you just act accordingly."
"Does this really work?" Makenna pursed her lips. "I can deceive Jared, but can I really deceive a psychologist? You also study psychology, so you should understand that acting is just acting. The psychologist will see through it eventually."
That's why the criminal investigation team of the police station have psychologists as consultants.
Elias replied, "Don't worry. You do your part and I'll finish the rest."
Hearing what he said, Makenna can only reluctantly accept it.
She didn't have better solution after all.
"Well, I see." Makenna barely smiled.
Elias asked, "By the way, do you know which psychologist Jared has found?"
"I really don't know."
"It doesn't matter. Find that out and tell me."
"OK."
After hanging up, she heaved a sigh, then stood up, flushed the toilet to pretend that she did have used it, and she opened the door and went out.
"Jared."
