NOVEL WEB Chapter 26: Psychiatrist
I knew everything about her, but it was only natural for me to ask her as I cannot supposedly recognize a person who treated me while I was unconscious
She was surprised by my words at first, but gradually realization donned her, understanding my confusion she introduced herself.
"Hello Hrithik I am Lisa your doctor", nodding my head at her simple greeting I greeted her back she tried to grab my hand, but instinctively I pulled away.
She looked me bewildered by my actions and looked at me questioningly , but I hate it when people touch me unnecessarily. So I just returned her look.
"What are you doing?" she asked
"Why were you trying to hold my hand" I asked back
"Well it's nothing special I did it out of habit don't think much" she said with a serious expression.
We continued our conversation on till we reached garden not understanding reason behind her unannounced visit I asked her directly "why are you here Miss Lisa"
"Isn't it normal for a doctor to visit her patient" she answered as if it was natural
But being deceived by the people you cherish can always make you suspect people, I was the same and believing her simply because she was the doctor who treated me was something I couldn't do.
"Well it might be normal, but I have a feeling that this visit of yours has other motives"
My words shocked her and sighing she said,
"well you are right I thought whatever happened in the past few days might trigger a trauma, so I wanted to understand your state of mind and thus assess your psychological condition"
Her answer was something I never expected she could have been genuinely concerned but having someone near me to assess my physiological condition sounded like I was being spied on, so I choose to reject her idea.
"I understand your worries, but there's no need for that you don't have to strain yourself, plus I am a perfectly fine both physically and mentally"
"I understand your worries, but there's no need for that you don't have to strain yourself, plus I am perfectly fine both physically and mentally"
"Hrithik I know you are more mature than people your age, but there are some things you might not know for example seeing someone dying right in front of your eyes might be disturbing, it may not show immediate effects but with passing time you might find it hard to cope with those disturbing thoughts anyway it's just visiting a psychiatrist why are so adamant about it".
I knew she was purposefully replacing her words, "after killing someone" were the words that should have been used, but she chose to say "seeing someone's death". Keeping such minor details in mind is only possible if you are genuinely concerned about the opposite person but why would she care about me was a question I couldn't ask, so burying the question I had, I gave her a cold reply.
"Not interested"
"Okay since you say that you are completely fine I would like to ask some questions and if you answer them honestly I would leave your house right away but if you hesitate or lie you should get ready to pay a visit to the psychiatrist deal. Of course, you can reject this deal and if you do then don't blame me for pestering you"
Gosh she was threatening me, the sole heir of the Raichand empire and the mere thought of it brought a smile on my face which couldn't be concealed, so choosing to play along with her, I agreed with her deal.
She then started her questioning, and also instructed me to answer them no matter how irrelevant they are
"Your name?"
"Hrithik "
"Age?"
"16"
"Gender ?"
"I Don't think you have any problem with your eyes and again why are asking this quest...."
"Answer please" she interrupted my words
"Male"
"What were doing last night?"
'Last night I was studying your life history' I thought, but I couldn't possibly tell her that, so after contemplating for a while I said "sleeping"
"Wrong answer you were not sleeping but doing something else am I right"
