Myra wanted to cling to every last hope.
Felicia returned to the room. Dexter was still lying on the bed, his limbs restrained with ropes.
It was Myra who had tied him up.
Ever since Dexter lost his mind, he would wander off and repeatedly tear at his wounds. Left with no other choice, Myra had resorted to tying his hands and feet to prevent further harm.
It was a desperate measure.
Felicia sterilized the needles and began inserting them into the acupoints on Dexter’s head. Her fingers pinched the end of each needle, gently twisting it as she inserted it.
Halfway through the process, Dexter shouted before struggling violently. His hoarse voice was like the roar of a trapped beast.
Myra’s heart skipped a beat as the sound sent shivers down her spine. She instinctively stepped forward to intervene. “He’s reacting this way because it hurts, right? Did you do something wrong? Should we stop for now or maybe try a different method?”
Felicia found it strange as well. It wasn’t that her acupuncture technique was flawed but rather that Dexter’s condition didn’t seem to stem from a mental shock as she had suspected. Instead, it felt more like he was trapped in a nightmare…
During the needlework, Felicia sensed a force resisting her treatment. If that were the case, then Dexter would have to wake himself up from the nightmares.
Felicia removed the needles and concluded.
Myra listened closely, but Felicia’s words went over her head. She only caught the gist of it. “So, you’re saying your dad is currently trapped in a nightmare? And he can only wake up on his own?”
Felicia ignored the word “dad” and muttered, “That’s correct.”
Myra was baffled. “Doesn’t that mean he has lost his mind?”
“You could put it that way. But it’s nothing to worry about.” Felicia added, “From what I’ve observed, he’ll likely return to normal within two weeks. It could happen in a day or two if things go well. You can try stimulating him in the meantime.”

“How?” Myra was perplexed.
“You could talk to him, show him something meaningful, or bring someone he knows to see him. Anything that can evoke a strong reaction might help.” Felicia
hummed.
Myra sighed. That didn’t sound like it would work.
Myra had tried countless times to communicate with Dexter over the past two weeks. She would even bring up their younger days. But Dexter remained numb and didn’t react!
“That’s all.” Having said everything she needed to, Felicia wiped her hands and said coolly, “The consultation is over. Since I can’t cure him, there’s no need to pay the fee. You may leave now.”
As soon as Felicia finished speaking, Kerry appeared out of nowhere. He gestured to the door, cutting off any protests Myra might have.
Myra hesitated. But in the end, she said nothing. She stood frozen, watching Felicia’s retreating figure in a daze.
She wasn’t sure if the light was playing tricks on her. But for a moment, the figure walking away blurred and overlapped with the black–clad figure who had saved her and Dexter that fateful night.
The figure had been a young lady in a hat. It had been dark, with a lot of fighting and a bunch of thugs.
Myra strained to recall the details of that night, and suddenly, something clicked in her mind.
After the mysterious young lady appeared, she likely used a poisonous powder during her fight with the thugs. Once she scattered the powder, it immediately paralyzed the thugs, leaving them sprawled across the floor.
After that, she crouched down and checked Dexter’s pulse before performing acupuncture on him. It was the only reason Dexter could make it to the hospital for treatment!
