Chapter 140: Chapter 144 Fenna’s Vigilance
“I’m so sorry, so sorry, I don’t know what happened…” Heidi said, her face flush with embarrassment. As a seasoned psychiatrist who had even managed to complete all her studies under the strict standards of the Academy of Truth, her discomfort was indescribable—frankly, the moment Fenna had to snap her out of it with an exasperated look, Heidi almost felt like her career had come to an end…
At this time, Nina, who had just been roused from sleep on the bed, was also baffled. She had no idea what had happened and looked on in confusion as Heidi apologized to her. Eventually, she turned her gaze to Duncan beside her, “Uncle Duncan, what’s happened? Why is Miss Heidi…”
“The psychiatrist who was hypnotizing you just now was sleeping even more soundly than you,” Duncan replied with a helpless expression and sighed while pointing at the bedside, “She was drooling all over the floor.”
His words were quite direct, and the moment they were uttered, Heidi’s head dropped even lower.
In this awkward and chaotic atmosphere, only Fenna maintained a stern look. She scanned the entire room first, as if searching or sensing something, before finally focusing on Heidi, “Are you really okay? Why did you fall asleep during the hypnosis session?”
Hearing her friend’s serious tone, Heidi began to come around. She furrowed her brows and carefully recalled the events, then shook her head faintly after a moment, “…I’m fine. It must have been due to excessive exhaustion, and I let myself relax too much after the session was completed.”
“The treatment is complete, is it?” Fenna still seemed a bit concerned and followed up with another question.
“It is,” Heidi nodded after another period of serious thought, “I asked Miss Nina some questions; it was only after she answered that I drifted off.”
Duncan noticed Fenna’s unusually solemn expression and couldn’t help but ask, “Is something wrong?”
“…No, just a bit worried about Heidi’s condition. She’s never had this kind of issue,” Fenna shook her head, “But perhaps, as she said, she’s just been overworked—she’s been working continuously, and even her precious day off was ruined due to the museum fire.”
Hearing this, Nina immediately blurted out an apology to Heidi, “I’m sorry, it seems I’ve taken up your rare day off…”
“No, no, no, you don’t have to apologize,” Heidi quickly waved her hands, “And if you think about it from another angle, I actually had a good sleep here—I haven’t slept this soundly in a long time.”
After making sure that Heidi was indeed fine, Fenna looked up at the sky outside the window and stood up, turning to Duncan, “It’s getting late; it seems we should say our goodbyes and leave.”
“Don’t you need to rest a bit?” Duncan showed the concern befitting the host, “Miss Heidi still looks quite tired.”
