The last time the two of them chatted was at ten yesterday morning. It had been over thirty hours now, and Jeremy hadn't sent her any messages. She was not sure if he was busy with work or had just forgotten her.
Cornelia closed their chat window and opened a home decor website, planning to check out other people's styles.
"Cornelia, long time no see!" Briana's voice echoed as she appeared in the doorway.
She ran over and gave Cornelia a big hug, "Cornelia, I've missed you!"
She was a bit too enthusiastic, always insisting on a hug every time they met, which always left Cornelia a little flustered, "Briana, long time no see!"
Cornelia wasn't aware that Briana wasn't this enthusiastic with everyone. She felt an inexplicable closeness to Cornelia, always wanting to get closer whenever she saw her.
"Cornelia, don't be so formal." Briana sat next to Cornelia, fluttering her big eyes at her, "Cornelia, how is your skin so nice?"
She was too close, almost about to lean onto Cornelia. Cornelia felt very uncomfortable and moved a little backwards, "Your skin is amazing too."
She moved even closer, so close that she might touch Cornelia if she moved any further, "No, your skin is nicer."
While they were debating whose skin was nicer, the study upstairs was also occupied.
Justin directly shared his observations, "President Hartley, your wife seems to be in a pretty stable mental state. In order to treat her psychological trauma, we need to awaken the fears within her. That's the only way to truly cure her."
"Go on." In this period, Marcus had learned a lot about the subject. He knew that about a third of patients never fully recover, and severe cases can even lead to suicide. So he had to ensure Cornelia's safety.
Justin continued, "President Hartley, your wife is just like a normal person most of the time. It's only under specific circumstances that her deep-seated fears are triggered. If she never encounters anything that triggers these fears, she'll be just like any other person. But if these fears are repeatedly triggered, she could lose her sanity. We are intervening beforehand now. Although the treatment phase will cause her pain, it's also the only way to cure her."
"How painful will it be? Is there any way to shift her pain?" If possible, Marcus would be willing to bear all the pain for her.
