As she spoke, she even started wiping at her tears. "If I knew Ms. Luna was in this condition, I would not have argued with her over certain matters..."
Luna raised her lips in a sneer. In front of her, the figures of both Fiona and Joshua became smaller and smaller, but she could still vaguely hear Fiona's hypocritical tone. It made her sick.
Luna was brought to the mental asylum. All of the staff members were polite and courteous to her, the man that brought her there even tended to her wounds personally.
Luna looked at the man as he held his head low, focused on applying the balm on her wounds, and her eyebrows furrowed together.
"Can you untie me?" The rope had bound her wrists together for the past five or six hours, the part of her skin that came in contact with the ropes was already rubbed raw, every movement brought pain that echoed in her core.
But the man smiled coldly. "I'm afraid I can't do that. If I untie you, problems will arise when I treat you later o n."
Luna took a violent pause. "The treatment you're talking about...”
"Electromagnetic stimulation therapy." He applied a band-aid on Luna's wound as he spoke. "We're going t o stimulate the nerve cells in your brain with electromagnetic stimulation. Old Mr. Jenson specified this in his assessment report, he said it would be particularly effective on you."
Luna bit her lip tightly. Electromagnetic stimulation...
She closed her eyes. She had to find a way to escape. I f she stayed here, sooner or later, she would be tortured so badly that she would really turn crazy!
Throughout the entire afternoon, Luna underwent the various treatments that Robert Jenson specified for her. Electromagnetic stimulation, by applying various magnets to her body and shocking her with electric shocks. Acupoint stimulation, planting needle after needle into her body. And the medication...she was fed some unknown medication that made her whole body soft and listless, she could not muster any strength in her muscles at all.
After a few short hours of supposed 'treatment', Luna looked dazed and lifeless, like the other patients in the asylum.
After dinner, she lay on the bed and watched as moonlight filtered through the tiny little window, her tears rolling down her cheeks, out of her control. Here, she had no privacy, had no sense of self, even her body was being controlled. How was she going to escape, how was she going to find her children, Nigel, Nellie, and Neil...
Luna wanted to cry. She wanted to sit up. But her body did not have a single ounce of strength. She could only lie on the bed, helpless as her tears flowed down the side of her cheeks and onto her ears, then further down the shell of her tear and onto the pillow.
Sometime later, suddenly, the beautiful sound of a bird chirping rang from outside. The sluggish and mentally distraught Luna finally regained her senses. The bird chirped again several times outside the window. Luna could tell it was not a real bird, it was a human's voice!
She forced herself up onto her elbows on the bed. Suddenly, a ball of paper was thrown into her room from the window.
Someone was looking for her!
Luna was delightfully surprised, she hurriedly swung her feet off the bed, intending to stand up. But her body was completely devoid of strength, the moment her feet touched the ground, she fell to her knees on the floor with a bang.
The loud noise attracted the attention of the nurse on duty outside. She slammed the door open and walked i n, switching the lights on with a slap of her palm." What are you doing?!”
