NovelEnglishAt that moment, Nolan pulled up sinformation on Dr. Steel online. Then, he passed Simon his phone and
said, "This is Dr. Ganter Steel."
Simon had a look and was shocked by the information. Dr. Steel was a prominent figure in the field of therapy
and was currently serving as the director of a famous hospital.
Seeing Austin's credentials put Simon at ease about trusting Austin. As the prized protege of Dr. Ganter Steel,
Austin must have exceptional skills.
Curious, he also did a quick search on Austin's background. After reading a few results, he understood why the
psychologist said Austin was a little unconventional.
Apparently, Austin had worked closely with his mentor regarding a condition called 'Imaginary Love'. His way of
treating the condition was special because he would make his patients confront the very situations that had
triggered their issues in the first place. It was cruel at first, but his therapy sessions worked.
After his little research on Austin and Dr. Ganter Steel, Simon took another glance at Stephen on the bed. He
breathed a sigh of relief knowing Austin was on his way, and soon Stephen would be saved. Although he had no
idea how Ethan made Stephen like that, he was not afraid.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe Quinns were wealthy and powerful enough to solve all the problems. Even if Austin could not cure Stephen,
Simon could go to Ganter. Even if Ganter failed, he could summon the top psychologists from across the country.
Nolan, too, was relieved. He thought that if a renowned psychologist from another state had cto treat
Stephen, surely Stephen could be cured.
Ethan might be invincible in Riveria, but it did not mean he had no equals or rivals in another state. There must
be someone out there who could beat Ethan!
By the afternoon, Austin finally arrived. He was tall, well-built, and looked cleanly handsome. He knocked on the
door in front of the ward.
Simon had gone to take a rest, and Rachel was away to treat the slap on her face. Only Nolan was around when
Austin arrived.
He asked, "Are you Austin Chiswick?"
"Yes, in the flesh." Austin went up to shake Nolan's hand. "Are you the patient's family?"
"No. I'm the mayor of Hill City. The patient is actually my superior."
Austin's hand trembled. People of that level of influence were not someone he would usually ever get the chance
to meet.
"Mr. Mayor! | am so sorry. | thought you were..." Austin awkwardly scratched his head.
'It's fine. Have a look at the patient."
Nolan was more concerned about Stephen's condition.
Austin turned to look at Stephen lying still on the bed and furrowed his brows. He had treated many patients with
trauma before, and most of them could move just fine. Stephen's lifeless state was a first for him.
"Are we sure it's psychological?" Austin suspected that Stephen might be suffering from something physical.
"Yeah. We had him checked many times, and he's physically fine," Nolan explained.
Austin asked, "What happened to him?"
He was considering making Stephen relive whatever incident had caused his breakdown, thinking it might be the
key to treating him.
Nolan sighed. "One of his men, Jeremy, went undercover to gather intelligence for
him. He thought Jeremy betrayed him, so he wrongfully sentenced Jeremy to death. He watched Jeremy die with
his own eyes and even destroyed the evidence he gathered."
"Huh?"
Austin was dumbfounded. He had not expected such a complicated situation. To think someone could wrongfully

"And this is how he's been after he found out about the truth?" Austin asked.
"Yeah." Nolan nodded.
Austin pondered in silence. His idea of recreating the incident to help Stephen confront his trauma was no longer
feasible. How could one reenact something like that?
It was far more complicated than he had anticipated. How could he bring Stephen back from such a traumatic
experience?
"Where is Jeremy's family? If Jeremy's family could forgive him, maybe it would ease his guilt and help his
recovery," he explained.
