Chapter 284 Erasing Her Memory

Day Thirty-Two...

~~*****~~

Stephen was slightly disappointed since Cherry knew a different thing about Phantomflake. But he realized something. Phantomflake and the woman with her hid the truth from the entire members of the assassin guild.

But Stephen decided to continue asking Cherry, gathering information from her.

"When she got injured, do you think she also got depression and anxiety because of her injury?"

Cherry fell silent for a moment. She tried to recollect what had transpired in the past. After a while, she gasped when a realization dawned on her.

"Wait. You are not a physical therapist in profession, right? How come you become her doctor? You are a psychologist..." Cherry questioned him.

Stephen smiled faintly and said, "Yes I am a psychologist and at the same time, a psychiatrist. I was a psychology graduate and completed a medical degree in psychiatry." Stephen explained to Cherry.

Cherry just nodded her head, still trying to absorb his words. "You became her doctor. Does it mean... my sis sought help from you." Cherry was quite shocked because she was used to thinking that Phantomflake was a strong-willed woman. She was brave and she never showed weaknesses in front of them.Folloow current novÊls on nov/3lb((in).(co/m)

"Yes... we have a few sessions together to treat her trauma..." Stephen could only share this information with her. He couldn't tell her everything about Phantomflake and her problem. He wondered if she had noticed it before.

When he met Phantomflake, Stephen had no idea that she was an assassin. Now he could speculate that the cause of her trauma originated with one of her missions. A cold glint flashed through his eyes as he closed his fists tightly.

He had seen her in her vulnerable state. He would never forget that. At that time, he felt the urge to remove all her pains. For her to live, Stephen did something to her– Erasing some parts of her memory. This was a secret between Stephen and Phantomflake's guardian.

"Thank you, Dr. Zhou..."

"I told you... You should just call me Stephen."

Cherry let out a soft giggle and nodded. "Yes, Stephen. I will."

Knock! Knock!

The two were still talking when they heard a knock outside the door. Stephen and Cherry exchanged looks at each other before moving their gaze to the closed door.

"Come in," Stephen said.

Getting Stephen's cue, Aiden entered the room with a questioning look in his eyes. "Stephen! What are you doing here? No wonder we can't see you in the living room. It turned out you were here." Aiden sounded upset. He was jealous to see Stephen and Cherry together. Furthermore, he heard Cherry's giggle a while ago. It only meant that the two were having fun talking to each other.

"I just dropped by to check the patient. Why are you grumpy? Did Abigail beat you again?" Stephen teased Aiden.

Cherry couldn't help but let out a soft chuckle. Aiden was such a weakling. She wouldn't be surprised if he got beaten up by Abigail.

"Shut up, Steph! Abi didn't beat me. We are so close! Bleh!" Aiden stuck his tongue out at Stephen.

"So childish!" Cherry blurted, rolling her eyes at him.

Aiden pouted his lips and put on a pitiful look. Cherry was clearly not on his side. He couldn't understand why this woman hated him so much.
