After reading the girl's name and age on the file, Ariah asked as a strategy to get closer to her. Only then would she be able to find the solution to help her overcome her trauma. "Don't you want to share with me?"

After that, the girl buried her face in her knees and ignored Ariah.

"Don't worry. It's fine if you don't want to tell me." Ariah smiled gently and looked at her with her head tilted. "But I have to call you by your name all the time. I see that your hair looks very good. Perhaps I can call you the long-haired girl?"

Her long hair was really smooth and straight, which was like the models in the TV advertisements.

Upon hearing that, the girl looked up at Ariah and said, "My friends also said that my hair looks very good."

It was a good thing that she took the initiative to talk to Ariah.

While nodding her head, Ariah responded, "That's right, your hair is very nice. It's time for us to film an advertisement."

The words made the girl smile. "My name is Dayna. The police said that you can help me. Is that true?"

The light in her eyes was especially bright, and Ariah was touched by her earnest wish. "I can help you, but ultimately it depends on whether you are willing to cooperate with me."

"Of course I will cooperate with you!" Dayna nodded quickly. Her eyes were red as fear flashed across her face. "Every night, I dream of that person who wanted to kill me, so I can't sleep. I'm afraid of meeting people. I like to hide in a closed space so that I can feel safe... Doctor, please help me. Help me drive the nightmares away from my mind, or else I might go crazy..."

As she started to sob, Ariah slowly walked over and tried to reach out her hand. Seeing that she didn't resist, she hugged her into her embrace and comforted her softly, "It's okay, I'll help you. You'll be alright... An hour later, Dayna's family came over to pick her up.

The assistant then came in with a cup of coffee and said, "Dr. Myers, thank you for your help."

While taking a sip of her coffee, she asked, "Is there another patient?" "No, you've been with Dayna for quite a long time, so the other patient has been taken over by Dr. Davidsons."

"OK."

"Dr. Myers, can Dayna be cured? I think her body language seems to be more serious than other patients'. Also, she would not look straight into people's eyes. Her whole body is always tense. I feel she has not walked out of the shadow. If this continues, it will impact her psychological development."

With a faint smile, Ariah replied, "Your observation is pretty good."

"Haha." The assistant smiled in embarrassment. "I have been with you for so many years, so I can definitely detect some simple symptoms."

"You do have a talent for this. If you really want to become a psychologist, I can recommend a good teacher for you."

Surprised, she asked, "Wow, really?"

"Why would I lie to you?"

Just then, the phone on the table rang. Ariah glanced at it, and her assistant noticed the dazed expression on her face and immediately left the room, "Alright, I won't disturb you now. Call me if you need anything."

After that, she slipped away.

If she was not mistaken, the caller ID on Dr. Myers's cell phone screen was... her former husband.

She knew about Dr. Myers' marriage. Allegedly, her husband was a policeman, and they had been planning to get a divorce in these two years.

Looking at the ringing phone, she slowly picked it up and uttered, "Hello."

Jimmy didn't expect him to answer the phone, so he paused for a while before he inquired, "Have you had lunch?"

"Why did you call me?"

"Hey, what's wrong with you?"

Ariah's current mood was indeed a little bad. After a few hours of pent-up mood, she simply vented all of her feelings on this man. "Did some criminal cases happen in Beachmarsh City recently? As a police officer, can you ask your colleagues to do something? Can you catch all those damn criminals and put them behind bars?"

Her frustration confused him. "What happened to you today?"

"Nothing!" She was just up in arms over the cases.

She knew that she shouldn't be angry at him for no reason, but she just couldn't control her emotions.

It was dead silence on the other end of the line. Ariah couldn't stand this awkwardness, so she wanted to just hang up the phone.

"Was it because of your patients?"

She was stunned. How could he see through her worries?

"H-How did you guess that?" she couldn't help but ask.

In response, he said gruffly over the phone, "I understand your personality very well. You are so good that you would despise the victimizers and feel sad for the victims. Whenever you meet an abused patient, you also can't wait to sue the abuser..."

She did not pay attention to the following description, for her mind had been occupied by his evaluation of hers.

Besides her master, Jimmy was probably the one who knew her very well.

However, the man who understood her well was unfortunately a scumbag!

Therefore, Ariah hung up the phone silently as she was afraid that she would not be able to hold back her tears if she continued listening to her.

After putting away her phone, she sat in her chair for a long while before she sighed and got up to leave.

"So you finally hung up?" The assistant's eyes were full of curiosity.

Raising her hand, Ariah knocked on her forehead. "Do your job and stop gossiping. Where are Dr. Davidsons and his patient? I'll go take a look." "Hehe, okay."

The assistant touched her head and chuckled.

Before Ariah walked far away, the assistant saw a man walking toward her from the other end of the corridor. She could not help but stare at him with big, wide eyes. When the man got closer, her face suddenly turned red.

He was so handsome!

It was the type that she liked!"

The man had short neat hair. His black, casual leather jacket made his shoulders and legs look long. He emanated a cool aura as he got nearer and nearer.

She was surprised when she discovered that the man was not only outstanding in temperament, but he also had an eye-catching and charming appearance.

He had thick eyebrows, long eyebrows, thin lips, and a straight nose. Above all, his deep and cold eyes exuded a sense of uprightness.

"S-Sir, who are you looking for?"

She flushed crimson while stammering.

Squinting his eyes, he asked, "Where's Ariah?"

Dr. Myers?

"Well, Dr. Myers isn't in her office now. Do you have an appointment, Sir? If you don't have an appointment, she won't agree to see you..."

Nevertheless, before she could finish her words, the man had walked straight into the office. He pushed the door open and found that there was indeed no one in the empty office.

"I told you that she was not there, but you didn't believe me," she muttered and closed the door of the office. The man was so tall that she needed to raise her head to look at him. "Sir, why are you looking for Dr. Myers? She is very busy and has no time to meet those that didn't make an appointment."

"Appointment?" He glanced at her with a faint smile, although he looked strict. "I am her man. Where is she now?"
