...Truth be told, he had seen that message earlier but… when she was actually in front of him, he really didn’t want to follow Xavia’s orders… It didn’t help that Ellen had a rather tight-fitting turtleneck on… Damn it! He needed to calm down!
Gritting his teeth, he put on a calm façade before marching forward, leaving Ellen speechless. Was this man simply incapable of acting courteously? Bah, whatever! She was just here to treat Sophia anyway!
Upon arriving at the ward, Ellen was greeted by the sight of a lifeless-looking Sophia, her eyes dull as stared at a baby’s shoe… and when she noticed the presence of the stranger, Sophia’s eyes widened in fear as she backed away and whimpered, “N-no…! Please…! Please don’t hurt my baby…!”
Frowning slightly, Ellen took a while to reply, “…Don’t worry, I won’t hurt it.”
Following that, she slowly began approaching Sophia… but every time she got close to her, Sophia would simply bolt to another corner of the room.
As Ellen helplessly rubbed her temples, Wade, who had been watching all this, was prompted to sigh before saying, “…She’s been like this the entire time, and not even the doctors know how to deal with her anymore…”
Pursing her lips, Ellen continued staring at Sophia for a while… and in the end, she slowly approached the trembling woman before asking, “…How old is your child? It looks adorable, by the way…”

Now that Sophia was starting to thrash around in her sleep, Ellen was forced to stop the hypnosis session. With a heavy sigh, she was prompted to say, “…She’s so traumatized that I’m assuming that she’s faked some memories… And with how much she believes in them, I doubt we’ll be able to get anything useful from her unless we make her accept the reality of the situation. Consider getting her an actual child to see if that helps…”
“…I’ll try my best, though I’ll probably need a day or two…” replied Wade.
“Good enough. Just tell me once you’ve made progress, In the meantime, I’ll go study her medical records,” said Ellen as she grabbed a stack of documents before heading out… But upon leaving the room…
