Chapter 231 Another Method
In the ward, Nathen, who was sleeping soundly on the bed, had cold sweat on his forehead.
He was in an extremely terrible state, and his face was extremely pale.
Gregory tried many times. When Nathen mentioned the name “Darlene” in a daze, Gregory would always interrupt him and tell him that this was a wrong memory and that he didn’t know Darlene at all.
However, Gregory failed to let Nathen forget Darlene. After repeatedly interrupting and trying to guide Nathen a few times, when Gregory asked about Nathen’s memories, Nathen could still clearly say the name “Darlene” and everything about her.
These memories even included things from many years ago.
When Gregory tried to correct Nathen’s memory again, Nathen on the bed began to become restless.
He began to reject this hypnosis treatment and tried to force himself to wake up. He began to resist all of Gregory’s questions and conversations.
Seeing that Nathen was about to leave the hypnosis state, Gregory had no choice but to terminate the wrong guidance first. He only mentioned some things that had nothing to do with Darlene and slowly pacified Nathen.
This way, Nathen slowly calmed down and continued to fall into a state of deep hypnosis.
Gregory sighed. The assistant doctor beside him also shook his head and said in a low voice, “I’m afraid it will be difficult.”
Martin knocked on the door at this time.
Gregory walked out. After leaving the ward, he took Martin to his office.
Gregory sat down at his desk and motioned for Martin to sit across from him.
The assistant brought the coffee in. Gregory explained Nathen’s current situation to Martin in detail.
“At present, it is impossible to make your grandson completely forget all the memories
about that woman through hypnosis. Perhaps, I can only try another method.”
Martin looked serious as he said, “I don’t know much about psychological treatment. The method can be changed, but I have a request that I am not willing to change. That is to make my grandson forget that woman.
“In other words, when that woman appears in front of him one day, or her face appears in his mind, I want Nathen to no longer have any impression and emotional fluctuations.”
Gregory nodded. “I understand what you mean, Mr. Elicott. Your grandson’s feelings for Ms. Garcia will easily hurt him. Before we talk about the treatment plan, I want to tell you a story that I heard from others.”
Gregory paused for a few minutes and said, “I heard a friend majoring in psychology mention a murder case, but I don’t know if it is true or not.
“It is said that the murderer, because of his deep knowledge of psychology and hypnosis, planted his memory of killing a girl into another girl’s mind. As for that purpose, I don’t have to say much.”
Martin understood a little and looked at Gregory. “Doctor, just say it.”
Gregory nodded and continued, “To make a memory disappear, there is not only one way but also another way, which is to tamper with it.
“For example, your grandson will continue to remember Darlene. He will remember his feelings for her, but because of hypnosis, he may mistake her name, her face, until he mistakes another woman as her.”
Martin understood, but he thought that he didn’t like this method. “I don’t really like your suggestion. I hope that he can forget her directly.”
“As long as his feelings for that woman were still there, even if he regarded another woman as Darlene, who could guarantee that that woman would not hurt my grandson like Darlene did?”
Maybe that woman would have some evil thoughts and hurt Nathen even more than Darlene.
Gregory smiled helplessly, “Mr. Elicott, there are too few things in this world that can be as satisfactory as expected.
“That feeling was planted too deeply in your grandson’s memory. With my experience, I must remind you that if we forcibly remove the feelings from his mind, the consequences may be unimaginable and will exceed your grandson’s tolerance.
“As for what you said, if it was another woman, she might also hurt your grandson. You can think of a way to avoid this problem as much as possible, can you?
For example, Martin could find a woman who was reliable and gentle. And most importantly, she could be controlled by him easily.
That woman would be healthy and considerate. She didn’t need Nathen to take care of her. She could treat Nathen with all her heart. And she wouldn’t dislike him or ignore him.
With the Elicott family’s ability, how difficult could it be to find such a perfect woman?
Martin was silent for a long time. In the end, he did not dare to take the risk and force Gregory to make Nathen forget Darlene.
Martin deliberated for a long time before finally giving in. “Is this the only way? Can’t you really make Nathen forget her all?”
Gregory nodded. “I’m sorry. Considering your grandson’s current situation, my suggestion should be the most suitable and safest plan at the moment.”
Martin tapped his fingers on the desk. He knew that there was no better choice at the moment. In the end, he nodded. “Alright, we’ll do as you suggest. But I’ll look for this woman.”
Gregory readily agreed, “Alright, of course there’s no problem.”
Martin stood up and left the office. Frank was still waiting outside.
Martin asked, “Are you sure everything is fine? Don’t let any outsiders know anything about this place. Are you sure that the people from the black market won’t tell anyone?”
Frank nodded firmly. “There will be no problems, Mr. Elicott. Everything has been arranged. There are no traces or flaws left. Including the people from the black market, they will not say anything they should not say for the sake of their family.”
Darlene had been in a coma for five whole days in the Swale family.
During this period, she had been half-asleep and often had dreams. She vaguely muttered the name “Dr. Elicott”, then continued to fall asleep.
When she finally woke up, it was the afternoon of the fifth day.
At that time, Tim had brought back some news that he had just found out. Dakota then left Darlene’s bedroom and went downstairs to talk with Tim. This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.
When Darlene woke up, the thick shade curtain in the bedroom was closed. It was dark, and she could not tell when it was.
Everything Darlene saw when she opened her eyes was strange. In the sanatorium in Detroit, the memories that Nathen had donated his heart to her slowly rushed back to her mind.
Darlene had a headache. Her body was in pain. She could not be sure whether she had been confused and mistaken it because of the sleep or everyone had made a mistake.
She also did not know where she was.
Darlene supported herself up. After having a rest at the Swale family for five days, although her body was still far from recovering, she could at least get out of bed and walk a few steps by supporting the wall.
She walked out of the bedroom step by step and walked along the corridor outside to the stairs.
Tim downstairs did not expect that Darlene would wake up at this time, so he didn’t deliberately lower his voice. Darlene could almost hear it clearly.
Dakota sat on the sofa. Tim said in a low voice, “In short, the matter is basically investigated clearly. I managed to get some information from the police station. The people in the black market were directly sentenced to death, but even so, they have not changed their statement.
“Those few people said that it was indeed Mr. Elicott who donated his heart to Ms. Garcia. In exchange for benefits, they got Mr. Elicott’s body, including other organs.”
