Nathan recognized him immediately as Eugene, a doctor specializing in biology and chemistry.
Upon discovering the book âPathological Psychology,â he reached out to Aldric and ultimately located Eugene.
Nathan regarded Eugene intently, puzzled by the expression Colby had worn moments earlier.
âDr.
Fuller, how can I assist you?â
Eugene scratched his head thoughtfully.
âAre you Colbyâs father?â
AngelasLibrary
âYes, thatâs correct.
â
Nathanâs tone remained distant and polite, revealing no emotion.
Eugene chuckled sarcastically.
âItâs unusual to see Colbyâs parents visiting to check on him.
I wonât disturb you further.
Please proceed.
â
Eugene turned to leave, but Nathan intervened abruptly.
âWait!â
Nathan gripped Eugeneâs wrist firmly, noticing the book in his hand.
It was titled âHow the Paranoid Personality Develops into a Murderer.
â
The title sent a chill down Nathanâs spine.
With a cold expression, Nathan confronted Eugene.
âWhy did you bring such a disturbing book for my son? As a doctor, you donât impart positive knowledge to the children but seem intent on guiding them toward something sinister.
What is your intention?â
Eugene appeared bewildered.
âWhy is this book disturbing? Itâs a profound exploration of human nature.
As a father, you donât spend more time with your son.
All I did was talk to him and discuss books when I can.
Whatâs your problem? Who are you to judge me? Whatâs the matter with you?â
Nathan couldnât believe what he was hearing.
Struggling to control his anger, Nathan replied, âHeâs only five years old.
Heâs innocent.
Why are you exposing him to such topics about human nature at such a young age? What are you trying to achieve?â
Eugene shrugged off Nathanâs grip, expressing discontent.
âAre you certain your son is innocent? He enjoys this kind of book, so I brought it to him.
It hasnât corrupted him, has it? Heâs quite bright and precocious.
I trust he can judge for himself.
â
Nathan was done with the conversation.
âPlease refrain from bringing such books to my son again.
If I catch you doing so, Iâll consider reporting this matter.
Individuals with your mindset shouldnât be working in a secluded place like a lab; you should be suspended.
â
Eugene remained silent, scoffed, and departed with the book.
Nathan stood at the door, watching until Eugene disappeared from view.
Turning back, he returned to the ward and shut the door behind him.
His expression was grim, the atmosphere heavy in the room.
Seated on the bed, Colby lowered his head, clearly aware of his mistake.
