Because You Are My Lady novel (Sharon and Stanley) -
Chapter 447
"Go ahead."
"The first plan is that you need to give her time before I can help her overcome her trauma."
"What about the second one?"
"The second one... Let me tell you this. Generally speaking, a trauma victim can recuperate with the help of medication and a psychotherapist. However, if it is a very serious trauma, this method will not be able to help, and there is only one way left."
"What is it?"
"Hypnosis."
Following a pause, he tilted his head to look at her and said in astonishment, "Hypnosis?"
Ariah nodded, "That's right. However, normal people don't need hypnosis. Sharon only needs it if her psyche has been seriously impacted, which I don't think is the case."
Stanley soon fell silent, for he was not sure whether Sharon's problem was serious. She might look fine on the surface, but every night, she would call Shawn's name in her dream. Uneasiness instantly flooded his body as he thought about that.
Nevertheless, he couldn't push her too hard, or else it would backfire during the recovery process.
"Let's go with the first plan." Stanley sighed. "I believe she'll be able to overcome the problem as time goes by."
"I think so too. Try not to worry so much. Don't smoke too much too. It's not good for your health."
"I know what I'm doing."
There was no reply from Ariah.
Ariah definitely wouldn't be able to convince this man. Since she wasn't Sharon, Stanley definitely wouldn't listen to her, and she could only stand up and leave. "I have to excuse myself now."
"OK."
In the ward.
Ariah was playing with the two children, which made her a little tired. Because the ward was very warm, her back was sweaty. After drinking a mouthful of water, she sat down beside the bed and said, "I plan to have just one child in the future. It's taxing to take care of two active children." "Indeed, sometimes I feel very tired, but when I see their cute looks, that kind of exhaustion will immediately disappear." Sharon glanced at her. "Ariah, in the past few months, your relationship with Jimmy..."
"It's become worse!" interrupted Ariah.
"I'm going to divorce him. It's just a matter of time."
"Is there no way to..."
"No."
Now Ariah no longer felt agitated whenever her relationship with Jimmy was mentioned. In the past, she would have gone ballistic whenever she heard the topic.
In her view, her current state indicated that she was slowly walking out of the unhappy memory with the unfaithful Jimmy.
"Let's not talk about me. What about you yourself?" Ariah changed the topic.
"Me? What do you want to know about me?"
"You can hide it from others, but you can never hide it from me. You've gone through all those things, but you have never told anyone anything. Are you really okay with this?" Ariah looked straight at her and continued, "Sharon, don't forget who I am. I'm your friend as well as a psychotherapist, so my job is to listen to the voices in your heart."
Speaking of this, she paused before she continued, "If you have something to share, or if there is any question you want to ask, you can always come to me."
There was something else she wanted to tell, but she chose to hold it back in the end.
"You don't believe me?" Ariah frowned when she noticed her hesitation.
Hastily, Sharon waved her hand. "No, it's not like that."
"Why is that so?"
"I-I'm fine. Although that was a scary experience, it's not as serious as you think." After thinking for a while, Sharon decided not to tell her about the things that appeared in her dreams. She believed that, as time went by, she would definitely be able to walk out of Shawn's death.
"OK." Ariah decided not to push her too hard when she heard that.
This Saturday was Ariah's off day, so she stayed in the hospital for the whole afternoon. When it was almost time, she got up and left. Just as she arrived at the underground parking lot, her cell phone rang. As she took it out to take a look, she realized that it was a call from Jimmy.
After rolling her eyes, she answered the phone, "What's the matter..."
"Where are you?" Jimmy's voice sounded a little serious.
"I'm in the hospital. What's the matter?"
"Are you with Sharon?"
"No, I was planning to go back." Ariah felt that there was something wrong with his tone, so she asked, "What's going on?"
"I'm fine..." Jimmy didn't want to scare her, so he told her, "Go back now and wait for me at home. I'll go find you. There's something I need to tell you."
After that, he solemnly advised her, "Please go home directly. Just wait for me at home, okay?"
To be honest, Ariah had never heard Jimmy talking to her like that. She also knew that he wouldn't mess around with her with such a joke. Now that he was talking to her in such a tone, he must have something important to inform her.
"Okay."
Following a nod, she picked up the phone and immediately drove the car home.
Her palms were sweaty as she returned home safe and sound. As she sat on the couch, she felt nervous when she thought of Jimmy's serious tone. However, since nothing had happened to her, she could not help but laugh.
Was he just making a fuss?
After she took a sip of water, her beating heart calmed down. At this time, the doorbell rang.
Ariah thought it was Jimmy and hurried over to open the door. When she reached the entrance, an idea flashed through her mind, so she stopped in her tracks. Instead of opening the door directly, she vigilantly stood at the door and looked out carefully through the peephole.
Instantly, she was stunned by what she saw.
Why was it Ricco?
Why did he suddenly come over?
Without thinking too much about it, she opened the door and looked at him with a calm expression. "Why didn't you call me before you came? What if I'm not home?"
Ricco stood at the door, wearing a black coat and a cap that hung low on his head. There was a moment when she almost could not recognize him because of his attire.
"I know you are at home."
While he was still standing on the original spot, her heart was pounding wildly after she heard the shocking statement.
"How do you know that I'm at home?" Disbelief stirred within her.
Suddenly, Ricco looked up and stared at her. "I know you are at home because I have been following you."
"
Terrified, she quickly closed the door, but it was still too late, for Ricco's arm had blocked the door forcefully, which allowed him to push it open forcefully. As his hand was about to grab Ariah, she immediately ran backward.
She was gripped by fear as she screamed for help.
