After issuing his final instructions, Dr. Harrison turned to leave.
Darin followed the doctor out into the corridor for a private conversation. "Given the patient's current condition, isn't it highly detrimental for her to remain near someone who previously caused her severe trauma?"
Hearing Darin's pointed question, Dr. Harrison connected the dots. Based on Felicia's terrifying reaction to Max during her episode, it was undeniably clear that Max was the source of immense psychological damage in her past. While Max was currently sparing no expense to treat her, his constant presence was a massive liability. Under normal circumstances, she might cope, but the moment an episode struck, the devastating memories of his abuse would replay endlessly in her fractured mind.
"That is correct," Dr. Harrison admitted softly. "Especially during an active episode, traumatic memories will resurface repeatedly. His presence does indeed negatively impact her recovery."
Darin's eyes darkened fiercely. "Which means it would be infinitely better to place her in a completely relaxing environment, surrounded only by people who make her feel safe."
Dr. Harrison nodded slowly. "For psychiatric and psychological conditions, a stress free environment is absolutely vital."
"Thank you, Doctor. I understand," Darin replied before dismissing him.
Darin walked back into the living room and found Max waiting by the door. "We need to talk," Darin demanded.
The two men sat across from each other in the silent living room. Darin broke the tension first. "I am sure you heard exactly what Dr. Harrison just said."
Max remained completely silent.
"No matter how professional the medical team you hire is, as long as you are here, her episodes will drag her back into the past. To her fragile mind, you are fundamentally no different from Holden. If you truly want her to recover, you will send her back with me right now. You are absolutely not the person she needs by her side."
