Chapter 710 Decision
"I can't guarantee that." Professor Bob took off his glasses and gently wiped the lenses with a silk handkerchief. "Miss Wen, memory recovery is not a simple on/off switch."
He put his glasses back on, his gray-blue eyes looking directly at Wen Liang. "It's more like an archaeological excavation, requiring careful cleaning layer by layer. But don't worry, blood pressure and brain waves will be monitored before and after each treatment. Safety is always the top priority. Even if my memory can't be restored, it won't affect my current life."
"This kind of hypnosis... can other ordinary psychiatrists do it?"
Professor Bob's expression suddenly became serious: "No, this requires extremely professional hypnosis techniques and psychological knowledge."
He added meaningfully, "There are no more than twenty people in the world who can achieve this level."
"Twenty..." Wen Liang repeated softly, suddenly realizing something. "Then... do you know these people? Is the person who made me lose my memory among them?"
Bob smiled, praising Wen Liang's sharpness. "I know some of them. Logically, it should be. Of course, there is no ruling out the possibility of an unknown hypnotic genius, but the possibility is very small."
“How long will my treatment take?”
"Everyone's situation is different, and it depends on the specific circumstances. A conservative estimate is two to six months. The important thing is to create a safe environment and the patient's full cooperation." Professor Bob answered rigorously.
"If you'd like, we can do a simple relaxation test. It's not hypnosis, just to help you relax."
Wen Liang hesitated for a moment and nodded slightly.
Bob took out a delicate metal box, opened it gently, and took out a beautifully crafted pocket watch. His voice was gentle and professional: "Please look at the dial and follow my guidance to relax and breathe..."
The pocket watch began to swing rhythmically, and Wen Liang's eyes followed it involuntarily.
Professor Bob's voice was steady and reassuring: "Imagine you are standing by a tranquil lake...with a gentle breeze..."
Wen Liang felt his tense nerves gradually relax.
But she was a little anxious and tried to recall certain fragments, and the familiar headache came back.
"That's okay," Professor Bob immediately stopped the test and put away his pocket watch. "We'll proceed step by step. I need to go back and study your condition and develop a professional psychological treatment plan."
He opened his notebook and carefully wrote a few lines: "I suggest starting with cognitive behavioral therapy, combined with some relaxation training. Memory recovery is a long process, so we can't rush it."
"If I start treatment, will I need to see you more often?"
Bob nodded and looked up at her. "Well, this is a key issue. Deep hypnosis treatment needs to be conducted in my studio, which has specialized equipment. During the treatment, we need to meet once a week and adjust the treatment schedule based on your condition. I will be returning to Philadelphia in a few days. In order to create a stable environment and conditions for treatment, I suggest that you also live in Philadelphia."
Huo Dongcheng couldn't help but ask, "What will be the impact if I return home midway?"
Bob said, "It won't have a big impact, but it might prolong the recovery time."
Wen Liang: "Do you need hypnosis every week?"
"not necessarily."
Wen Liang: "I will consider Professor Bob's suggestion."
It just so happened that she also had the idea of going to Philadelphia to investigate.
Bob: "If you decide to let me treat you, after we sign the contract, you need to strictly follow the plan I set. I don't like disobedient patients."
"good."
Professor Bob nodded and advised, "Miss Wen, please avoid drinking alcohol and taking sleeping pills before treatment. Maintaining a regular sleep and rest schedule will help with memory recovery."
He handed me a business card. "This is my work number. It's on 24 hours a day. Please contact me when you've made a decision."
"Um."
"During the treatment, you need to cooperate with some simple records and exercises."
Bob pulled a small booklet from his bag. "This is the Memory Recovery Guide I wrote. It contains detailed precautions and self-adjustment methods. Even if you don't choose treatment, you can still use the methods in it."
"Okay, thank you."
Wen Liang took the booklet and found that every page had neat annotations and marks.
The professor's rigorous professionalism made her feel at ease and she was not so afraid of the upcoming hypnosis treatment.
After saying goodbye to Professor Bob, Huo Dongcheng sent Wen Liang back to the hotel.
He asked, "Have you decided on treatment?"
Wen Liang nodded, "Well, there's still a long time to go. In order to avoid having these random thoughts in the future, it's better to get treatment early."
"But you need to stay in Philadelphia for a long time, or at least travel to Philadelphia frequently. My niece is still young. Will Fu Zheng agree?" Huo Dongcheng raised his eyebrows.
Wen Liang imagined it.
Fu Zheng might not agree to her staying in Philadelphia for such a long time.
Wen Liang opened the photo album on his phone and gently stroked An An's recent photos with his fingertips.
The little guy is chubby and grinning.
If I go to Philadelphia for treatment, it means missing out on every bit of An An's growth over the past few months.
If everything goes well, it would be fine. If not, when she comes back, maybe An An will simply call him dad.
As for taking the little guy with him, it is too dangerous. Wen Liang will not consider it, and Fu Zheng will not agree.
Seeing that she didn't say anything, Huo Dongcheng continued, "If you can't bear to part with your niece, you can wait until she grows up before getting treatment. As for Mason... although someone deliberately caused him to have a car accident, and I don't know what their purpose is, he has suffered so much since he was a child and has become accustomed to it. It doesn't matter if he waits a little longer. Isn't it just some blood? An An is more important..."
Wen Liang frowned, "Brother Dongcheng, Mason is your child too, how can you say that? Mason has suffered too much, I don't want him to be hurt anymore, I must go for treatment."
She didn't know who was behind the accident, nor did she know their purpose in hitting Mason. Whether they needed Mason's blood was all her subconscious guesses. She only knew that there was something wrong with that hospital.
Fear comes from the unknown, so Wen Liang must find out what is going on.
Parting with An An was also a helpless act, but she didn't remember it yet. When Wen Liang came back, she could still cultivate a good relationship with An An.
Huo Dongcheng: "Okay. But...what if Fu Zheng disagrees?"
"I'll convince him."
"Okay then. I'll find a detective to work with you on the investigation and send someone to protect you."
Wen Liang was not polite, "Okay, thank you."
It was too late when Wen Liang returned to the hotel, so he did not contact Fu Zheng.
When she got up the next day, she called Fu Zheng.
After the call was connected, the two exchanged a few brief greetings.
Fu Zheng was already in the company, flipping through documents while asking, "Aren't you going to see a psychologist today?"
"Hmm..." Wen Liang responded, "But, I already saw one yesterday."
