Natasha opened the driver's door, Colson sat in the passenger seat, Schiller and Charles sat in the back seat, Natasha started the car and said: "Lisa Labrese's home is 30 kilometers from the airport.
It’s at least half an hour’s drive, and the scenery in Texas is pretty good, you can stop by and have a look.”
Charles was not in such a mood. He was flipping through literature on his mobile phone. While looking at the great plains passing by outside the window, Schiller said: "Stop looking, it's useless. There is no method in modern psychology that can
To erase the trauma of having your memory forcibly deleted, you might as well take this opportunity to practice more of your superpowers."
Charles wailed and said, "I really just wanted to help her. If I had known this, I would never have messed with her memory."
"We believe in you." Colson comforted: "You have such a powerful ability, but the world is still stable as usual, which is enough to show that you are a good person. I believe Lisa can also understand this."
Charles was still unhappy, so Schiller had to change the subject and asked: "How are you and Eric? Do you two still quarrel every day?"
"He's annoying as hell." Charles pursed his lips, as if he didn't want to mention him, but after thinking about it, he still said: "His so-called powerful means of fighting back against mutant discriminators seem to me to be very childish.
Of course, he sees me the same way."
Then they talked for a while about the situation of mutants in the universe where Charles lived. Generally speaking, it was similar to that in most universes, that is, there was basically no solution using conventional means.
When talking about this, Natasha and Colson couldn't help but look back at Schiller. Schiller noticed their gazes, but still deliberately said: "Actually, the mutants here are similar, but by chance,
By coincidence, their situation can be said to have improved greatly."
Charles looked at Schiller with some suspicion, as if he wanted to know what the coincidence was, while Natasha and Colson turned their heads back in tacit agreement, pretending not to hear anything.
The half-hour drive is neither short nor long. Texas has a very vast plains, and you can see a distant and broad horizon. Even when you are sitting in the car, you don’t feel cramped.
The hours flew by in a flash.
Lisa's home is a very typical Texas farm. Many of the surrounding areas are bare rocks. There is a little green on the horizon. When the car stopped, there was a strong wind, and the dead grass was blown up.
Two figures appeared on the horizon, one high and one low, one behind the other. They seemed to be Lisa's parents. They came over and hugged Colson enthusiastically.
"Thank you very much." Mrs. Labrese said, "Thank you very much for coming. I know it's a bit remote here."
Mr. Labrese folded his arms and said, "It's too windy outside. Let's go in and have a cup of coffee first."
The group of people braved the wind and finally walked into the farmhouse. This place was far worse than the Kent Farm. It could be seen that the economic situation of the Labrese family was basically just food and clothing. The faces of the couple and their eldest son who walked in
There are traces of hard work on his hands and hands.
"This is really a big family." Natasha said with emotion. Labresca has six children. Except for a little niece who was picked up during the holidays, they are all their biological children. Lisa ranks first.
Three, the one in the middle.
This was something Schiller had never known before. After a brief chat with the Labrese couple, he learned more about Lisa's family situation, which was obviously an important part of Lisa's personality.
"I never thought you would really send someone here." Mr. Labrese took a sip of hot coffee and said, "I know Oakes is a good man, especially a good man. We have been worried about him for several hours."
"Yes, my heart rate has been very high since the news of the power outage of the space station came." Mrs. Labrese said with a sad expression: "He is our best son-in-law, and he treats Lisa very well. We
I have always hoped that they would have a child, but if not, they will be fine and safe."
A few people chatted for a while in the living room of the farmhouse, and Colson said: "Then maybe we have to leave time to our professional psychologists. Where is Lisa?"
"She is in her bedroom, and now she does not allow anyone to enter. We confirmed her condition through the camera installed on the bird feed pole in the courtyard. She has been sitting blankly on the edge of the bed, but fortunately it is not extreme.
move."
"Has she ever?" Schiller caught the point and asked.
The couple looked at each other slightly anxiously. Mrs. Labrese squeezed her hands tightly, but still said: "Yes, she has not been very normal recently. She always likes to run into the yard in the middle of the night and say that there are aliens."
People, but we didn’t see anything.”
"Did she say anything else besides this?" Schiller asked while Charles took his notes.
"Yes, she repeatedly mentioned that what we see now and what we remember are unreliable. She said that someone can modify everything in this world and everything is fake."
Charles looked even more guilty, and even his handwriting was affected and no longer looked so neat and graceful. Schiller glanced at him, motioned him to calm down, and asked: "What is her attitude towards her family?"
Sample?"
"She doesn't pay much attention to us." Mrs. Labrese sighed and said: "We were very happy when she came back, because she rarely went home since she got married, but she was not as enthusiastic as before, but became a little
indifferent."
"I hope you can understand this," Schiller said: "When a person doesn't even have enough strength to deal with her own heart, she won't be able to deal with others."
"Of course, of course we understand, but I think we also have a right to know what is going on," Mr. Labrese said.
Charles stood up and was about to apologize, but Schiller quickly stopped him with his eyes and motioned him to shut up. Schiller said, "You should have heard that Lisa was admitted to the hospital for a while."
"Yes, does she have some rare disease?"
"No." Schiller leaned forward slightly, looked into their eyes and said, "She had a miscarriage."
The couple was really shocked. Even their youngest daughter sitting behind them covered her mouth. Mrs. Labrese looked back in disbelief, seemingly looking in the direction of Lisa.
"How could this happen? She never told us..."
Schiller took another look at Charles. It was obvious that Charles was not stupid. He must have changed everyone's memory by changing it, so Lisa's family didn't know that she was pregnant.
But Schiller didn't want to tell them that all of their memories had been modified, which was not helpful for treatment, so he said: "Yes, Yue is still young, but it has also caused certain damage to the body, and she is also very sad about it.
So I may not have mentioned it proactively for fear of disappointing you."
"Silly girl, how could we be disappointed?" Mr. Labrese sighed, but still looked at Schiller and asked: "After she came back, we took her to the hospital for a checkup. The checkup report showed that there was nothing wrong with her body.
, but her mental state never recovered."
"Yes, because of her hormone fluctuations during pregnancy, she may also have some separation anxiety from the couple being separated. In short, I will conduct a more detailed mental examination on her and then find ways to guide her."
Schiller began to give some precautions to the Labrese couple, such as keeping quiet, not making strong noises, not knocking on her door all the time, not giving her too much attention, and maintaining a normal living atmosphere as much as possible.
All work related to psychological counseling is left to him.
The Labrese couple and Lisa's brothers and sisters expressed their full support. After finishing speaking, Schiller went upstairs. He knocked gently on the door and said: "Lisa, I am the new psychiatrist. Can you please trouble me?"
Can you open the door?"
As expected, he did not receive any response. Charles looked worried, but Schiller was not nervous. He just said casually: "It seems that we can only call Oakes, and we don't know that he is on the space station."
how's it going……"
With a click, the door opened. When he saw Lisa again, Charles couldn't bear to recognize her. This lady seemed to have shed a layer of skin, becoming pale, thin and numb. Her condition was not even as good as when she was in the hospital.
There is an emptiness that makes people feel scared.
Schiller saw that guilt was about to overwhelm Charles.
This is normal. Every ambitious and capable young man like Charles will encounter such a wake-up call at some point in his life. Fortunately, there is still a chance to save everything, which may not necessarily be the case for Lisa.
Not a good thing.
Schiller walked into Lisa's room and found that it was quite tidy. He already knew it. After closing the door, Schiller said directly: "It is true that someone modified your memory. We are here to apologize today."
He turned to look at Charles. Charles' guilt was finally expressed. Lisa didn't cry, he had already cried.
"I'm really sorry. I didn't know everything would turn out like this. I just wanted to make it less uncomfortable for you." Charles said with red eyes: "Your sadness completely infected me at that time. I just wanted to stop this."
Everything, I really didn't expect this, but I did do something wrong, and I must apologize to you."
Lisa seemed to be surprised by all this, but it was a feeble surprise and some doubt.
Then she heard a voice in her head, "Hello, I am Charles Xavier, a mutant with psychic abilities. I am very sorry for everything I have done to you. I will try my best to keep your memory alive."
Back to you."
"Wait a minute, Charles." Schiller seemed to hear what Charles said in Lisa's mind. He stopped him, then looked at Lisa and said: "You already know that you have lost your memory, but just like me
A student said that he felt the same sadness as you during the treatment process, which means that something must have happened that made you feel extremely sad, or even completely collapsed."
Schiller almost dragged Lisa to sit down. The pale woman sat on the edge of the bed, and Schiller half-knelt in front of her, looked into her eyes and said: "You can choose not to restore your memory."
Lisa seemed to suddenly crack, and something real was revealed from her broken cracks. She looked at Schiller with some despair and said: "It has something to do with a child, right?"
"It seems you have guessed, yes, it has something to do with the child you once had."
Lisa showed that expression of extreme pain again, and Charles also became visibly sad. It seemed that Professor
.
"Then, tell me." Lisa said in a dry voice: "No matter what, I will accept this fact."
"You were pregnant, and the baby's fetal heart rate had been unstable during the pregnancy. You suffered from anxiety and depression, as well as self-harm. 30 seconds after you gave birth, the baby's heartbeat stopped."
Lisa was stunned for two seconds, and suddenly she was completely broken, and a shrill wail rushed out of her mouth.
This mother seemed to have turned into a dead tree struck by lightning, and there was an even more devastating death on top of death, revealing a deeper despair in her despair.
