Summer kept looking at the photos.
Suddenly, a thought flashed through her mind. She looked up at Stanley and said, "Stanley, you are a therapist. You must be good at this, right?"
When it came to professional problems, Stanley became serious and conscientious.
"It's right that a specialist masters his own field. But most of the time, we just provide guidance to patients with mental disorders. Our treatment only plays an auxiliary part. Patients should depend more on themselves."
He called the waiter to fill his glass with water before continuing, "Why do you suddenly ask this?"
Summer thought for a moment and said, "I went to the hospital for an examination before, and the doctor said that I was recovering well. However, I still didn't recall anything. Since you are a therapist, is there anything you can do?"
Hearing this, Stanley fell into deep thought.
Summer looked at him expectantly.
It would be great if Stanley could help her regain her memories.
After a while, Stanley gave her a quite conservative answer, "Your amnesia is caused by brain damage. It has little to do with psychological factors. You can have a try, but it may not work."
Summer's eyes flashed with joy, "I'd like to try."
Even if there was only a slim chance, she still wanted to give it a try.
"Let's eat first." Stanley smiled and put more food in Summer's bowl.
They came out of the restaurant after dinner, and it was raining outside.
The Hoover City was a rainy city.
Rains were frequent during autumn.
Although the rain wasn't heavy, it was incessant and depressing.
Summer and Stanley returned to the car, their hair getting a little wet.
Stanley was chatting with Summer as he drove forward.
On rainy days, even the speed of the car was slow.
When turning around, Stanley slammed on the brakes, only to find that the car speeded up rather than slowed down.
No matter how hard he slammed on the brakes, it was useless. The car didn't stop.
His face turning pale with fear, Stanley honked the horn and shouted, "The brakes failed. Summer, jump out of the car!"
Summer also noticed that the car was out of control due to a brake failure. Other drivers on the road saw this and avoided their car one after another.
Summer grabbed her seat belt and said, "Let's jump together!"
This remark didn't move Stanley. Instead, he roared angrily, "Jump now! I saved your life, and I won't allow you to get injured."
The situation was so urgent that Summer had no time to discern the deep meaning of Stanley's words. She gritted her teeth and opened the car door, jumping off at the right time.
She was very careful when she jumped off the car. Hence, although her body was bruised, it wasn't serious.
She quickly got up from the ground and looked over, discovering that the car already crashed into the guardrail by the roadside.
She ran towards Stanley.
"Stanley, are you alright?" she asked by the window.
Stanley sat in the driver's seat with his head full of blood. His eyes were dull, looking like he would faint at any moment.
However, he managed to glance at Summer before passing out.
Summer took out her phone in panic and wanted to call an ambulance. A kind person beside her said, "Don't worry, I've already called an ambulance for you...."
Summer said, "Thank you."
