Chapter 1309

Grandpa Augustine said, “Talk is cheap, mate. You gotta show us the goods.”

Justin replied, “Well, you could ask Ms. Stewart if she remembers a bloke named Justin. If she does, that’s peachy. If not, just remind her that I used to be her shrink.”

Watching the way this guy carried himself, he didn’t seem like a con artist. Grandpa Augustine pondered for a moment, “Please wait a moment.”

Grandpa Augustine rushed to Cornelia’s room upstairs. Not long after, he hurried back to the living room, followed by Abigail and Zack. They eyed Justin intensely, hoping to read him like a book.

Grandpa Augustine said, “Dr. Terrel, Cornelia wants to see you upstairs.”

Justin asked, “Does Ms. Stewart remember me?”

Grandpa Augustine answered, “Did you help her with some mental issues? Why did she ask for you the moment I mentioned your name?”

Justin replied, “I can’t say. Gotta respect patient confidentiality.”

Grandpa Augustine commanded, “Then get going. And remember to spill the beans when you come back.”

Justin asked, “Aren’t you coming?”

Grandpa Augustine replied, “She only wants to see you.” Cornelia not only kicked him out but also Zack and Abigail. She didn’t even let them eavesdrop.

Justin said, “Alright, I’m heading up.”

Grandpa Augustine reminded, “Remember to share what you guys talked about.”

Justin replied, “If Ms. Stewart wanted to keep our conversation under wraps, she wouldn’t have asked you to stay away. So…”

Grandpa Augustine waved his hand impatiently, “Alright, I get it. Just go. If you can crack Nelly’s case, I’ll give you an extra 100 grand.”

Justin grinned but kept mum. In reality, a shrink of Justin’s caliber had a lot of people willing to pay big bucks for his services, but he wasn’t out to make a quick buck from everyone. If it weren’t for Marcus, he wouldn’t have hopped on a plane for over ten hours for a mere hundred or two hundred grand.

Justin arrived upstairs to find Cornelia already seated on the couch, a smile on her face, “Dr. Terrel, long time no see.”

Justin echoed, “Long time no see.”

Cornelia asked, “Can you really cure me?”

Justin replied, “I didn’t have a clue before I saw you. But now that I have, I’m quite confident.”

Cornelia asked, “What?”

Justin added, “We’ll take it slow.”

Cornelia asked, “What do you want to talk about?”

Justin replied, “We can chat about anything. Work, life, relationships, you name it.”

When he mentioned work and life, Cornelia’s expression remained unchanged. Only when he mentioned “relationships“, did her expression flicker momentarily. Justin noticed and made a mental note, but didn’t say a word.

Cornelia chuckled, “How come the weather in the Capital dropped so suddenly? Just a couple days ago it was sunny and I was in a tee, now I gotta bundle up in down jackets.

Justin replied, “That’s Capital weather for you. Once it hits October, it gets chilly in the blink of an eye, not giving you a chance to transition from fall to winter.”

Cornelia asked, “Dr. Terrel, where are you from?”

Justin replied, “I’m from Harbor City. I’m pretty tight with Steven.”

Cornelia only replied with a noncommittal grunt, seeming not too intrigued by the topic of Steven.
