It was Frieda. She actually came over.
Sasha instantly turned as pale as sheet.
She pushed the guy in front of her away and ran over fearfully before claiming, “I-it’s nothing. Is your session done?”
Frieda blinked.
She examined the guy in front of her and realized that she had never met him before.
That got her to ask, “Sasha, who is he? Is he a friend of yours?”
“Huh? N-no. He’s just a stranger who got lost and was asking for some direction. Come on, let’s go home.”
Sasha had never panicked like that before. She dragged her mother-in-law along and fled the corridor. Her fingers kept trembling and remained cold even after she was long gone.
Please, don’t let Sebastian find out about this.
……
Sebastian was especially busy that day.
He had just regained control of the company, and there were many issues that arose while he was away. Naturally, he had to solve those issues, and that got him busier than usual.
“Mr. Hayes, this is your schedule for the day. Please take a look.”
Sebastian had just returned to his office after a meeting when Luke showed up with his schedule for the day.
The former flipped the pages a bit. He was about to cancel a few unimportant tasks when his phone vibrated on his desk.
It was a text from the doctor in the psychiatric department. “Mr. Hayes, your wife just dropped by with your mom. I examined the latter and everything is fine.”
Sebastian: ”Thank you.”
Doctor: ”I discovered something while I was treating your mom via hypnosis. Can I call you to talk about it?”
Why would the doctor suddenly call to talk about mom’s condition?
Sebastian checked the watch on his wrist and noted that he had ten minutes to spare before he needed to go to another meeting. Hence, he picked up his phone and called the good doctor.
“Mr. Hayes, good morning.”
“Yeah, so tell me. What happened?” asked Sebastian, who got right to the point.
The psychiatry doctor explained, “Here’s the thing. After I hypnotized your mom, she mentioned someone in her dream and seemed to be under great duress. Mr. Hayes, do you know who the person is?”
Sebastian frowned and asked, “Who?”
The doctor replied, “Someone called Shin. She kept calling out for the guy and was crying and begging toward the end. I saw how bad things were getting and worried that she might get in trouble, so I stopped there.”
The doctor was a professional and paid attention to Frieda’s condition while hypnotizing her. He caught how agonized her expression was, so he stopped immediately.
Hearing that got Sebastian to frown.
