Chapter 916 Listening To His Advice
âDo you want to know what I think?â Frank said as he let go of Elizabethâs hand.
âOkay. Go ahead.â Elizabeth was eager to hear it.
âMaybe your b*ody isnât the problem. But rather, because of the traumatic experience, your brain
doesnât realize that your hand has recovered and gives the wrong signals. And thatâs why you still feel
pain.â As he spoke, he was gesticulating a lot, pointing at Elizabethâs chest and her temple and trying to
make sure she followed.
Hearing Frankâs words, she became much more relaxed. âSo, what should I do?â
âI want to ask something first.â Frank stroked his chin. âWhen you feel pain, do you recall any specific
memories? Like, are they all related to Jorge?â
âSir, Maâam. Here is our set menu for couples. Please, enjoy.â The waitress came over with the dishes
and interrupted their conversation. Holding the tray, feeling smug, she said, âMiss Perry used to love
the couplesâ set menu here. The chef knew she was coming tonight, so he added a special side dish.
But I wasnât expecting her to have the couplesâ menu with her new boyfriendâ¦â s
Frank interrupted her in a sharp tone, âPlease donât bring up the past. Itâs all over now. Elizabeth is with
me now. I donât want her to be stuck in the past. Besides, her ex hurt her. Heâs not worth remembering.â
His Adamâs apple was bobbing slightly. He didnât actually sound angry, but his words were quite sharp.
Frankâs response took Elizabeth by surprise. She turned to look at him across the dimly lit table.
âIâm really sorry. Shall I take these dishes away?â the waitress rushed to apologize.
âThereâs no point wasting the food. Just leave them here.â Once the waitress had left, Frank picked up
his cutlery. âIâm not coming back to this restaurant. These people are just ignorant, and I donât think the
place will stay open long.â
Elizabeth began cutting the steak in silence.
âAnd these, Iâll keep for you.â He reached for the painkillers on the table. âI donât think you hand hurts
because you havenât recovered. Itâs purely for psychological reasons. Take some time to talk to a
therapist this weekend with me. Otherwise, your hand will never fully recover.â
âIâm not free this weekend.â Elizabeth shook her head. She was reluctant to see a therapist. She had
been to one before with Jorge and it didnât end well. Jorge had been even worse to her after the
consultation.
After that, she just considered seeing a therapist an expensive and unnecessary luxury.
By the time the two had finished eating, it was dark outside.
âThanks for the treat. Iâm going home.â Elizabeth waved a taxi down.
Frank opened the car door for her. âStop taking that medicine. I will do more than confiscate it if I find it
on you again.â
âYou donât have to worry about that. Since you explained my condition to me, Iâll stop taking those pills.â
Elizabeth nodded and got in the car.
Tossing the medicine bottle around in his hand, Frank murmured to himself, âWill see really obey me?â

He watched the taxi leave and sighed. âShe must go to a therapist.â
Frank had a feeling that Elizabeth wouldnât be easily persuaded.
He found Elizabethâs number and saved it to the contacts list.
Just then he noticed the message Janet had sent an hour before.
She was asking about Elizabethâs condition.
Frank shook his head. Smiling, he said to himself, âBrandon and his wife always cause me a lot of
trouble.â Frank quickly replied to the message, âThanks to you and Brandon, I now have one more
special patient.â
