âHow would I know if you are lying to me?â Vicky asked.
âThereâs no need for me to lie to you about these things.â Realizing that this was not convincing
enough, Harvey added, âVicky, I know you want your memories back, and I can help you with that. If I
can help, that should prove that Iâm not lying to you about this, right?â
His tone was so certain that Vicky could not help but ask, âYou seem confident that you can help me
get those memories back.â
âIâve consulted doctors about your condition. Since you can remember some parts of the memories you
lost, thereâs no reason why you canât recall everything. You were clearly on the edge of remembering
everything a while back when you suddenly stopped recalling anything. Isnât that strange?â
It was indeed strange, and Vicky wondered more than once about what the issue was.
She had considered if the problem lay in the hypnosis session, but she shot the idea down.
From her perspective, Tyler had no reason to stop her from recovering her memories. On top of that,
she did not feel anything after each session, so she never doubted Tyler.
After hearing what Harvey had to say, Vicky could not help but start to notice that something was
awfully wrong. She refused to suspect Tyler based on just a few words Harvey said, so she asked,
âHow are you going to help me with my memories?â
âIâll arrange for professionals to check on you. If your memories were indeed lost due to being
hypnotized, youâll have to go through hypnosis to get them back. In the meantime, you need to stop
going to Isabella or let Tyler know that youâre having doubts. If he finds out, all effort would go to
waste.â
âAlright, I get it.â After the call, Vicky remained thoughtful for a long while before deciding to head to
Doctor Yelmonâs office.
If Harveyâs theory was correct, her sudden absence might draw Tylerâs attention.
Vicky had been alerted, and she wanted to see how Doctor Yelmon hypnotized her.
She had everything planned. Hypnosis required a lot of preparation, so she intended to pretend like
she was asleep before she actually did.
To her surprise, she fell asleep a few minutes after sitting down on the chair, and by the time she woke
up, the session had ended.
Doctor Yelmon looked exhausted but had a big smile on her face. âCongratulations, Miss Shaw.â
She stared at Doctor Yelmon. âWhat do you mean?â
âTodayâs treatment has worked.â
Had Vicky not talked to Harvey prior to this, she would have been overjoyed.
She scowled and said, âBut I havenât remembered anythingâ¦â
âRecovering your memories is a slow process, Miss Shaw,â Doctor Yelmon said with a smile. âYou canât
rush into it. Please be patient.â
Vicky nodded. âI understand.â
Doctor Yelmon observed her expression and asked, âMiss Shaw, why is it that you donâtâ¦look
excited?â
Vickyâs heart sank, and she immediately forced a worried look before saying, âThe higher the hope, the
harder the fall. I recovered some memories some time ago and thought that I was close to
remembering everything, but that didnât happenâ¦â
Realization dawned on Doctor Yelmon, and she said, âMiss Shaw, so long as you cooperate with the
treatment, youâll get your memories back.â
Vicky nodded and left the building as Doctor Yelmon watched.
Shortly after Vicky left, Doctor Yelmon made a phone call. âMister Hart, Iâve emailed you the report of
todayâs treatmentâ¦â She held onto the phone hesitantly as she chose her words carefully.
On the other end of the line, Tylerâs cold voice rose.
