Chapter 137

Chapter 137 A Pink Bear Ainsley understood that well. In order to let Serina understand that she was no longer in danger, she and Manuel took her to the amusement park, cinema, and many other places that would make her happy, but it was not very successful.

She also once doubted whether there was a problem with the direction of treatment, but Serina’s illness had indeed stabilized. Hypnosis has also been used several times. As long as the deepest memory was touched, it would make her sick or faint. She dared not use any drastic means at all.

Zane continued to speak, “Psychological intervention is not to help the patient in an all–around way, but to give simple hints, just like escaping from a secret room, giving clues bit by bit until the solution is solved.”

Ainsley understood. “Zane, would it be too much to reproduce the scene? Is there any successful example of this method abroad?”

Zane shook his head. “I’ve never heard of it, don’t try it.”

“I understand. Thank you, Zane.” Ainsley stood up.

“You’re welcome. You can contact me any time.” Zane said.

Ainsley looked at him gratefully. She had to thank Mollie. If it wasn’t for her, she wouldn’t have talked to Zane.

In Pearl Hotel’s private room, there was a half–drunk bottle of xo in front of Manuel, and there was still a little bit left in Matteo’s glass.

“Matteo, I know you don’t trust me, but I just want to say that I will not harm her.”

But Matteo didn’t take it seriously. “What you said sounds smug, so what if that person comes back?”

“She won’t come back!” Manuel’s eyes became cold.

Matteo mocked, “How can you be sure? Did she tell you that?”

The atmosphere fell into dead silence, and the last bit of xo kept in the glass was poured on the ground. Matteo sneered and said, “Manuel, you are nothing more than that, don’t let me see you approaching Aisy again. Otherwise, I will stop you. Bye.”

In order to prevent Ainsley and Manuel from meeting each other, Matteo directly stayed in Ainsley’s guest room.

It had been three days, and Ainsley had never even seen Manuel. Even Matteo would come to pick her up after school at night.

She tried to talk to him but failed. Then she went back to the room, but she was restless, wondering if Manuel missed her as much as she did.

Sitting by the bed in a daze, she accidentally saw the bracelet on her wrist. She remembered the intimacy when Manuel gave her the bracelet that day, and his face when he called her Aisy. Although he was bold, she knew that he was also nervous and afraid that she would refuse.

Buzz, buzz! The phone was vibrating. She saw that it was Manuel and answered the call.

For more than ten seconds after the call was connected, neither of them spoke. Manuel didn’t speak until Ainsley took a deep breath and was about to speak. “Do you miss me?”

A familiar voice rang in her ears.

Ainsley covered the mic, nodded heavily. “Yeah!”

“I miss you too,” Manuel said seriously.

Ainsley locked the door. “Manuel, tell me, what happened to you and my cousin? Why do you seem to know each other before?”

She had been curious, but no one had told her anything.

Manuel was silent for a moment and finally said, “Aisy, there may be some misunderstanding. It’s my fault, and I will explain clearly.”

He didn’t want to talk about it, and Ainsley didn’t want to ask again. “My cousin and Mr. Easton said they would take me to the Easton family. I’m afraid I...” It wouldn’t be easy for them to meet again in the future.”

There was another moment of silence. “Come to the window.”

“What?” Ainsley felt palpitations and immediately ran to the window. She only saw a black car parked downstairs.

And Manuel leaned against the car, beckoning to her, the voice on the phone didn’t stop. “I finally see you.”

With a sore nose, Ainsley leaned on the window, chuckled and said, “It’s as if we haven’t seen each other for a long time.”

“It’s been three days, don’t you miss me?”

“I said yes just now.” Ainsley thought for a while, and then said again, “Yes.”

She wanted to touch his face, lean against his chest, hear that powerful heartbeat, and hold that warm hand.

But now she could only lean her hand against the cold window. It was difficult for her to touch the same outstretched palm across the distance of four floors.

“I can’t hold it.” She said softly.

Manuel opened the car door and took out a doll from inside. It was a pink bear. “Does it look good?”

“It’s beautiful, but I can’t get it.” Ainsley was sad for a while.

“Go and see if there is any rope.” Manuel reminded her.

Ainsley searched for a long time, but she couldn’t find it in the room. She went to the bathroom and searched for a long time. She was almost caught and finally found the rope.

She threw it down from the fourth floor and dragged up the pink bear. She felt that this was herself.

She was tied up, and the end of the thread was in Matteo’s hands.

She hugged bear and greeted Manuel. After looking at each other, Manuel left, leaving behind a bear.

Ainsley put it beside her pillow, as if Manuel was there.

The next day at the University of Washington.

When Ainsley was packing her stuff, Matteo came to pick her up. She knew that her cousin was just trying to prevent the possibility of her seeing Manuel. This kind of supervision seemed to be stricter than the previous two days.

At the gate of the University of Washington, Kaitlin had just picked up her stuff and came out with a few classmates. She saw Ainsley leaving the school gate with Matteo next to her.

The classmates also saw them. They knew that Kaitlin didn’t like Ainsley, so they flattered Kaitlin. “Isn’t that Teacher Ainsley? Why is there a man around?”

“Didn’t you say that she and Mr. Gage are a couple? Why is there another man? Who is this?”

Kaitlin snorted coldly, “This is Ainsley’s rich cousin. Teacher Ainsley is not an ordinary person. She is the daughter of a wealthy family!”

The better Ainsley was, the worse she felt. She was so angry that she forgot what her brother had told her. She rushed over and said to Ainsley, “Ainsley, it turns out that you are so rich. Unfortunately, I always thought you were a materialistic woman who loved vanity. You are very good at faking yourself.”

Ainsley was thinking with a cold face, “Here she comes again!”

She didn’t want to answer her, but Matteo already responded, “If you have bad eyesight, go get treatment. Can’t the Baldry family afford your eye treatment? By the way, I remember that you were just diagnosed with persecution paranoia. Why were you discharged from the hospital? How about I will pay to continue your treatment? So I don’t have to see you again.”

Kaitlin was out of breath. “What are you talking about? Does the Easton family only bully others? Ainsley does, and so do you.”

Matteo laughed angrily, he stared at Kaitlin, and said in a deep voice, “Go back and ask your brother who I am. Although Manuel is powerful, it takes me only one minute to destroy the Baldry family.”

Kaitlin’s heart tightened, she looked at Ainsley in disbelief, and uttered wild words! “The Baldry family is also one of the best in Seattle, don’t talk nonsense.”

“Am I talking nonsense? Go back and ask your brother.”

Matteo took Ainsley to the car at the gate. It was a silver Aston Martin.

Kaitlin was dumbfounded, and she had to believe it even if she didn’t want to.

When she went back to ask her brother, she didn’t expect to be scolded.

“You are really getting bolder!” Cason suppressed the anger in his heart.
