"Finnick, don't you know our little pumpkin's dead? Don't you know?" Vivian let out a devastating cry as her face contorted in anguish. Her sudden roar shocked Finnick into silence.
Has she regained her memories? Finnick instantly shot a puzzled gaze at the doctor, who hurriedly asked him to hold Vivian down so he could figure out what went wrong.
Swiftly, the doctor observed her condition and measured her heartbeat. He concluded that she was still mentally unstable. The only difference from before was that she had now accepted the fact that Larry was dead.
To Finnick, it was bad news. He thought she could live in her imaginary world without being bothered, but then this happened.
Even if he wanted to advise her, she wouldn't listen to him as she had lost her mind.
"I suggest hypnosis," said the doctor. That was the only way to help her get better.
Finnick was at a loss for words. Should I take the risk? What if the therapy fails?
"The worst possibility is that she will continue being in a mentally unstable state. Her condition might also worsen. I've already explained the pros and cons to you. We're friends, so I'll leave it to you to make up your mind."
The doctor told Finnick to consider carefully as there was still hope. After all, they were hoping she would recover by taking the medications, too. Both methods were possible, so he wished Finnick could give them both a try.
Finnick couldn't make up his mind and gave
Benedict a call. After explaining the situation to
Benedict, he rushed here in ten minutes.
