CHAPTER 557 PSYCHOLOGICAL CUES

Yvonne nodded politely to the man. "Dr. Murphy, please take good care of Theo."

"I will. That kid is really good-looking, I really like him, " Dr. Murphy waved his hand and said casually.

Yvonne thought he sounded a little strange, so she turned to look at Shane who was next to her.

Shane hurriedly coughed and explained, "Well, my senior has a thing for good-looking people. For him, physical attractiveness is the most important feature. Since Theo inherited his good looks from you and Henry, he looks very handsome, so my senior likes him a lot." 1

"I see." Yvonne smiled, covering her mouth.

She knew about people who judged other people by their physical attractiveness, but she had never seen one herself until now.

"I've seen you before," Dr. Murphy suddenly said while looking at Yvonne.

Yvonne was slightly stunned. "You’ve seen me before?"

Shane was also puzzled. "Senior, where did you see Yvonne? I didn't know about this."

"Yes, Dr. Murphy. I've never seen you before." Yvonne was confused.

Dr. Murphy turned the pen in his hand and said lightly, "I haven't seen you in person before, but I've only seen your picture at Lucas' place."

"Lucas?" Yvonne was even more confused. "Who's Lucas?" she asked Shane.

Shane didn't answer, but his expression suddenly changed and there was disgust in his eyes. "Senior, are you talking about Senior Lucas?"

"Yes." Dr. Murphy nodded.

Shane clenched his fists. "How did he get Yvonne's picture?"

"I heard him say that his employer gave it to him," Dr. Murphy replied.

Yvonne couldn't wait any longer, so she asked again," Shane, who's Lucas?"

"He’s one of my seniors. Didn't I tell you that I have a few seniors? He's actually one of them, but he’s also the one I hate the most," Shane replied with disgust.

"Why?" Yvonne was puzzled.

Shane explained, "We studied medicine together, but when he discovered that he was very talented in psychology and hypnosis, he betrayed us and our tutor and switched his career to psychology and hypnotism instead."

"I see." Yvonne nodded when she heard Shane's explanation.

No wonder he hated that senior so much.

"Senior, are you still in contact with Senior Lucas?" Shane turned his gaze back to Dr. Murphy after he answered Yvonne's question.

Dr. Murphy shrugged his shoulders. "Not really. I met him once two years ago. I have a nephew with mild autism, so I went to see him when he happened to be i n Vancouver. That was when I saw a picture of Miss Smith there."

"Are you sure you saw it?" Shane asked for confirmation.

Dr. Murphy became a little unhappy and he immediately stopped turning the pen in his hand. " Dude, are you doubting my memory? Did you forget that I majored in memory?"

"No, I wasn’t doubting you, senior. However, this matter is very important to us. I just wanted to know why Lucas would have photos of Yvonne.” Shane hurriedly answered.

Yvonne also nodded.

Dr. Murphy looked at Shane like he was an idiot." Didn’t I just say that his employer gave it to him? At first, when I saw Miss Smith's photo, I thought it was Lucas's girlfriend, so I asked him about it. He told me that it wasn't his girlfriend, but the ex-wife of his employer's husband." "The ex-wife of his employer's husband?" Shane looked at Yvonne.

Yvonne narrowed her eyes. "It's Jacqueline! Lucas's employer is Jacqueline."

"Yes, it's her." Shane nodded and stepped forward to grab Dr. Murphy by his white coat. He lifted him up and said, "Senior, tell us now. Did you ask Lucas about what his employer asked him to do?"

"Let go of me first, then I'll tell you." Dr. Murphy stared at him, displeased.

Shane realized that he got a little too worked up, so he quickly let go of him.

Dr. Murphy tidied his clothes, dissatisfied. He then replied with a gloomy expression, "I did ask, and he said that her employer's husband had a loving relationship with his ex-wife, but because of his memory loss, he couldn’t remember his ex-wife. His employer was worried that her husband might remember his ex-wife someday, so she asked him to hypnotize her husband every once in a while so that h e will never remember his ex-wife."

"What?" Shane was shocked.

Yvonne bit her lower lip. Although she did not speak, her heart was full of emotions. 2

It turned out that things were not as simple as they thought.

"Speaking of which, the first person who went to Lucas was not actually Lucas’ employer, but her

husband's assistant. Lucas said that the employer's husband had been experiencing nightmares due to prolonged insomnia, so his assistant helped him by finding Lucas since he's really skilled in psychology and hypnotism."

"What then?" Yvonne asked urgently.

Shane glanced at her with a conflicted look on his face. His lips moved, as if he wanted to say something, but he did not end up saying anything.

"Then the employer’s husband went through Lucas' treatment. His insomnia and nightmares improved, but he’s not completely cured and he needs regular psychological treatment. That was when the employer found Lucas and bribed him with seven hundred thousand dollars so that he could hypnotize her husband when he gave him his regular treatment."

"No wonder!" Shane punched Dr. Murphy’s desk with his fist. "I've always wondered why Henry hasn't recovered from his memory loss. I didn't expect this to be the reason."

Yvonne did not speak, but the coldness in her eyes was looming.

Jacqueline was really something else.

She did that so that Henry could not remember her, and she could always be Mrs. Lancaster.

"Senior, is Lucas still in Vancouver?" Shane asked.

Dr. Murphy looked at him with a disgusted look. "How would I know? The last time I saw him was two years ago. You should ask him yourself."

When Shane heard this, he knew that Dr. Murphy was unreliable, so he turned his gaze to Yvonne, "Yvonne, what do you think of this matter?"

"We need to get Dr. Lucas. He accepted Jacqueline’s bribe and secretly hypnotized Henry. He has violated the law. People like him are unethical and he shouldn't be free to do whatever he wants. Besides, you said that Lucas admitted that Jacqueline bribed him to hypnotize Henry, so what would Henry do to Jacqueline?" Yvonne looked at him with a smile.

Shane was silent for a while and he replied, "He will not let Jacqueline go."

"Not necessarily," Dr. Murphy said suddenly.

Shane and Yvonne both looked at him.

"Senior, what do you mean?"

"Are you two stupid?" Dr. Murphy looked at them like they were idiots. "Lucas' employer has already thought of that. Lucas told me that his employer even asked him to give her husband psychological cues, so that no matter what she does, her husband can never b e cruel to her. That’s why..."

Dr. Murphy shook his finger. "Even if the husband of Lucas' employer knows what she has done, he wouldn't really do anything about it. At most, he might just give her a minor punishment. This is what’s so powerful about psychological cues. It’s taboo in the psychology industry. Generally, they cannot be used b y anyone without official approval." Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

"But Lucas used it, didn't he?" Shane clenched his fists.

Yvonne's heart was all over the place.

She thought to herself that if she had not met Dr.

Murphy tonight, she wouldn't have known about the story behind this.

Henry's mental health and memory had been affected because of someone!

And the impact was so profound that even if Jacqueline did something wrong, he could not be cruel to her. It was shockingly terrifying!
