Broken Memories, Intertwined Hearts novel Chapter 113

Since there were still loads of people waiting in line, there was no time for small talk. Ines had a new check-up, but the results were just like the ones from a few years back. No blood clots were pressing on her brain nerves, the preliminary judgment was still selective amnesia.

Andrew decided on hypnosis therapy for Ines without missing a beat, which was currently the hottest trick in the book for treating mental disorders. But the depth of hypnosis varied depending on individual susceptibility, the credibility and skills of the hypnotist, and other factors.

Ines had tried hypnosis before, but it was like pulling teeth. The moment the car accident was brought up, she would shake her head in agony. She even woke up from the hypnosis on her own, pushing her limits.

Andrew first ushered Ines into a private office. It was a hypnotism room specially designed for Andrew at Renaissance General Hospital. The room was dimly lit but warm and cozy with soundproofing that could block out any disturbances.

The room was simply furnished with only a wooden table and two chairs, exuding a faintly eerie vibe.

A thin layer of sweat formed on Ines's palms. Ethan, unable to hold back, held her hand tightly and whispered, "Izzy, don't worry, I've got your back. No matter what your past is, you're my wife, so don't stress about it."

At these words, Ines nodded and gave him a reassuring smile, "I know." To hypnotize a patient, the most important thing was to understand her personality to determine the best approach. Of course, the desired outcomes of the patient and their family should also be considered. All these things Ethan had already discussed in detail with Andrew.

So, there was no need for Andrew to waste time asking Ines these questions.

Once Ines had gotten used to the room, Andrew started the hypnosis. Ethan was worried, so Andrew allowed him to stay in the room, but with strict orders to keep quiet, otherwise it could disturb the patient.

Ines looked at him, his expression was a bit stiff. She couldn't help but find it funny - he was the one telling her not to be nervous, yet he looked more nervous than her. Andrew pulled out a silver pocket watch and held it in front of Ines's eyes, "Alright, Izzy, we're starting. Stretch out your arms, palms facing each other, focus on the pocket watch in my hand. Imagine I'm someone close to you, a good friend you can tell anything to."

Ines cleared her mind and focused on the pocket watch in Andrew's hand.

"Good, you're doing it right. Are you feeling sleepy, like you haven't slept in ages, and your eyelids are heavy? I'm a good guy, and your husband Ethan is here too, so you can close your eyes without any worries." Andrew guided her step by step.

Ines just felt a soft voice in her ear. It seemed to come from nowhere, like a celestial melody that made her want to close her eyes and listen attentively. And then, slowly, she closed her eyes.

Ethan couldn't help but frown. He didn't believe in hypnosis before, but seeing Ines like this made him believe a bit.

"You're doing great, Izzy. Imagine you're in a boundless sea of flowers right now. Lie down slowly, stretch out your hands and legs, relax. Look up and you can see the blue sky and white clouds.."

Andrew really was a world-class expert. Before long, Ines fell into a sleep-like state, lying quietly.

Tick tock... Tick tock...

The room was so quiet that only the ticking of the pocket watch could be heard.

Ethan raised an eyebrow as if to ask him, "Is that all?"

Andrew nodded lightly, then turned to Ines and asked, "Izzy, do you know who I am?"

"You're the one my husband and I trust the most. You're here to help me." Ines said.
