Loving You In Secret novel Chapter 1345

"Don't you need to stay with Mister Hart?"

Vicky smiled gently but did not explain herself. "We'll be having a guest. Once she arrives, bring her to my office right away."

Cece and Jennifer glanced at one another in shock as they were not told Vicky would be coming, nor did they know about any guests.

...

An hour later, someone knocked on Vicky's door. "Vicky, your guest is here," Jennifer called.

Vicky got up to answer the door.

Standing next to Jennifer was a woman in her forties; she wore glasses and smiled elegantly.

"Hello, Missus Hart," the woman greeted politely.

Vicky invited her into the studio, feeling apologetic for the inconvenience. "I'm sorry for troubling you to come in person."

"I invited my senior at school to come and treat him, who said the injuries on his body were caused by various torture devices. My senior's medical skills are superb, and Mister Hart recovered quickly. However... Although the physical injuries healed, the psychological trauma was much harder to mend. I specialize in this area, and with just one glance, I could tell he was suffering from severe depression. He showed signs of being hypnotized, drugged, and even mentally controlled. I thought..."

Isabella's voice came to a sudden halt.

Vicky could not help but urge, "You thought, what?"

Isabella looked at her and softly uttered, "I thought he might die."

Vicky's eyes widened in shock. "What?!"

"When a person's mental world suffers severe blows, they may face death even if their body is unharmed. His condition at that time...was terrible. My junior and I tried many treatment methods, but none of them worked until..."
