Because You Are My Lady novel (Sharon and Stanley)
Chapter 521

If Anna was more than just traumatized, then no matter how many medicines she took, it wouldn't be effective.

Therefore, Ariah told her directly, "If you want to save yourself, tell me what happened in the waste factory that day. What did Kevin do to you?" For a moment, Anna hesitated.

"You don't want to tell me?" At that moment, Ariah didn't have the energy to coax her, "Then go ahead and let your condition worsen. I'm leaving."

With that said, she got up and left.

"Wait, wait a minute!"

Immediately, Anna called her.

Therefore, Ariah turned around.

"Do you really have a way to help me?" In Anna's eyes were both disbelief and hope.

At the moment, Ariah was like a life-saving straw to Anna, and she could only hold on tightly to her.

"I'm not sure." Straightforwardly, Ariah answered, "I only saw that there was something wrong with your expression just now, so I want to know what happened to you that day. Just like how a surgeon needs to know where your wound is to operate you."

After Anna took a deep breath, she closed her eyes and slowly recalled what had happened that day.

"That night, when I asked you out to show you Jimmy's old photos, you didn't believe that it was Jimmy, so you turned around and left. After you left, I also planned to leave, but I bumped into someone as soon as I turned around. A moment after my gaze met the person's eyes, I lost consciousness... and when I woke up, I realized I was locked in a room."

Calmly, Ariah told her, "You've been hypnotized."

"Hypnotized?"

"Yes, some hypnotists can hypnotize a person in a few seconds. After being hypnotized, you won't remember what happened."

For a moment, Anna was stunned.

While Ariah looked at her, she asked, "Continue the story. What happened after that?"

"After that... When I woke up, I saw Kevin. At first, I didn't recognize him, but he said I should have died eight years ago and that he had let me live for so long, so it was time for him to take my life. Only then did I realize that he returned!"

As she spoke, tears started to fall from her eyes, and her face was ghastly pale. Clearly, the memories that she had to recall were extremely traumatizing.

"When I knew it was him, I was terrified, and I thought he would kill me, but he didn't."

"He forced me to drink something, but I didn't know what it was. Soon, I started to lose my consciousness, but I vaguely remembered something, and I knew that he had been whispering some words in my ear."

With a frown, Ariah asked, "What did he say?"

"He was... constantly repeating the events of the past. At that moment, he was saying that all my family members have died, and I am not supposed to be alive in this world, that I should have died back then as well..."

In the end, Anna covered her face with her hands and could not continue the story.

After a long time, Anna raised her head, with her eyes filled with confusion. "I... when will I get slightly better? I don't dare to sleep because I have nightmares, and I would dream of my family members asking me to accompany them... and when I wake up, I have the urge to die..."

In fact, she wanted to listen to the words of her dead family members in her dreams, and she wanted to die to be with them.

When would such this horrible thing come to an

end?

Slowly, Ariah took a deep breath, "Anna, if I'm not mistaken, Kevin must have forced you into having the thoughts of killing yourself."

"Huh?"

In disbelief, Anna's eyes widened.

"The human brain is very complicated. It's very strong but also very fragile. If you constantly instill the brain with something, then you will be convinced that it's true. After a long time, you will then accept the signals sent out by the brain."

It was just like a voice in Anna's head that was constantly telling her to commit suicide, and as time goes by, she might really commit suicide.

Even if she didn't commit suicide, she would become lifeless, like a walking corpse.

After Ariah licked her lips, she continued, "I'm guessing that the thing that Kevin gave you has the effect of controlling your mind. In addition, he knows hypnosis, so that's why you're acting like this after he gave you double attacks..."

Although it was just Ariah's guess, she still felt a little uneasy in her heart.

Such a thing was likely to happen. Back then, she had learned about it before, so she knew quite some things about it.

Suddenly, Ariah thought of something, and her pupils contracted.

Sharon...

A few days ago, Sharon told Ariah that she had been having weird dreams since she returned from Tasnil. It was about Shawn, and that she was with him. In her dreams, they even got married and had children, and lived happily ever after...

Back then, when Ariah heard bout Sharon's dream, she felt that it was unbelievable. However, now the dots in her mind suddenly connected.

Could it be that Sharon's brain had also been hypnotized?

Otherwise, why would she often have dreams that she had married Shawn, had a child, and that Stanley was nowhere to be seen in her dreams?

Even if a normal person had such a dream, it could still be explained as a coincidence. But if it happened constantly, then it definitely was not a coincidence. Suddenly, Ariah's heart sank.

Back in Tasnil, Sharon must have been hypnotized by someone without her knowing, which explained why she had been having such inappropriate dreams... Meanwhile, Anna's voice pulled back from her thoughts. "What are you thinking about?"

Immediately, Ariah shook her head, "It's nothing." "My illness... can it be cured?"

After Ariah thought for a moment, she answered, "It's easy, but also difficult at the same time."

"What do you mean?"

"You were forcibly instilled with the idea of 'suicide' by Kevin. Therefore, now you could only remove it before it gets even more instilled into your brain." "Then... can you help me?"

However, Ariah shook her head and apologized, "Sorry, I've never tried it before."

"But aren't you a psychologist?" Coldly, Anna looked at her. "You don't want to help me, do you?"

With a yawn, Ariah uttered, "It's up to you whatever you want to think. Anyway, I've never had any patients like you, and I don't even have any clinical experience. Do you think that I can treat you just because you're a psychologist? If that's so, then why does a normal hospital need so many departments? Why don't they have one department, and whenever there's a patient, just let the doctor cure him directly. That would be great since they don't have to split into the surgical and medical departments."

In a daze, Anna stared at her.

At that moment, Ariah felt like she was looking for trouble. Clearly, she knew that Anna didn't like her, and Anna had an affair with her ex-husband, so she shouldn't meddle in it. However, she still couldn't help but say, "Go and find some well-known psychologists. If you can't find local ones, then look for foreign psychologists. I'm sure there would always be someone who can help you solve the problem."

Perhaps it was because of her profession. Ariah couldn't bear to see Anna's hope shattered. From a doctor's point of view, Ariah said to Anna, "There are doctors who are specialized in this field. You can try to look for them. It's not a big problem, and it can be cured. Don't worry."

When Anna heard her words, she grew silent for a moment, then only did she thank Ariah in embarrassment. Meanwhile, Ariah raised her eyebrows, "If you really want to thank me, then tell me about Jimmy's past."

The more Jimmy refused to tell Ariah about his past, the more curious Ariah became.

However, Ariah's request left Anna dumbfounded. "Didn't Jimmy tell you about his past?"

In fact, she thought that Jimmy would more or less tell Ariah a little bit about his past after he

was done with Kevin's matter.

But now, it seemed that Jimmy didn't tell Ariah anything.

Suddenly, Anna couldn't help but laugh. "I thought that Jimmy cared a lot about you, but who would've thought that..."
