Chapter 385 No Other Choice
Ever since Alexander returned home, he hadn’t suffered a single episode.
Because of that, Elena genuinely believed the treatment overseas had been helping.
But after what happened tonight, she finally realized the situation wasn’t improving at all.
Now, the only hope she had left was Gideon.
Because she truly had no other options anymore.
Alexander’s dark eyes quietly rested on her.
He didn’t say anything.
Finched
Elena assumed he was upset that she had brought him here to see Gideon without discussing it with him first.
She was just about to explain herself when Alexander suddenly nodded lightly.
“Okay.”
Elena froze slightly.
Only then did Alexander finally understand.
During the entire period he was abroad, Elena had repeatedly contacted Gideon because of him.
Alexander turned toward Gideon calmly.
“Sorry for troubling you.”
“How should I cooperate?”
This time, even Gideon looked surprised.
He honestly hadn’t expected Alexander to agree so easily.
In fact, he had already prepared a long speech to convince him.
“Why don’t we talk inside the consultation room first?”
Alexander nodded.
“Alright.”
He stood up slowly.

Before leaving, he specifically told Elena to stay in the conference room and wait for him.
Then he followed Gideon into the consultation room nearby.

Finished
After they left, Elena remained seated alone in the conference room.
Several times, she almost got up and followed them inside.
But rationally, she knew being there wouldn’t actually help Alexander’s condition.
So all she could do was stay here and wait for them to finish.
Only-
She simply couldn’t calm herself down.
In the end, Elena grabbed her phone and called Declan.
“How exactly did Alexander’s treatment overseas go?”
There was a brief silence on the other end before Declan finally answered quietly,
“It was… okay.”
“Declan.”
Elena’s tone immediately became firmer.
“You know I wouldn’t call you unless something had happened.”
Declan fell silent again.
That silence alone was enough to make Elena’s heart start panicking.
After a long while, he finally spoke.
“Mr. Kingsley was never able to properly cooperate with Dr. Newton’s treatment.
“If hypnosis had been forced on him, it only would’ve caused even more damage physically and mentally.
“Dr. Newton couldn’t help him.
“So Mr. Kingsley decided to return home first and look for another solution afterward.”
Even though Elena had already guessed the truth herself–
Actually hearing Declan confirm it still made her eyes instantly redden.
All this time, she truly believed Alexander had returned only because of Sophia’s engagement pary.
But now she finally understood.
There was simply nothing else left they could do overseas anymore.
