127 Surreal Tranquility (2/2)

”Patient Lee Yeo Ri, it's time for your therapy session. I'll help you get on your wheelchair,” the nurse informed. In a professional and practiced manner, she helped Yeo Ri get off the bed and tucked her into the wheelchair. After all the preparations were done, she wheeled the girl to Dr. Hong's consultation office.

”How are you feeling?” Dr. Hong perfunctorily asked.

”Fine.”

”Really? I heard you had a meltdown when those detectives came,” Dr. Hong raised her eyebrow at the girl. The nurses often kept her up-to-date with Yeo Ri's activities ever since she was assigned with Yeo Ri's case.

”Mm. I'm fine now,” Yeo Ri muttered in reply. She looked as if she did not want to talk about it.

”If that's so, then I'm glad,” Dr. Hong said smilingly. Sensing the girl's heavy mood, she changed the subject, ”The nurses told me that you like looking at the park. Shall I ask the nurses to take you out to the park in the future?”

”No, it's fine,” Yeo Ri shook her head. She was contented with just observing from her room.

”Oh... well, if you need anything, don't hesitate to tell the nurses. They're really dependable.”

”Mm.”

Dr. Hong smiled. Yeo Ri was becoming more talkative. It was a good thing. Luckily, she had not shown much regression despite her meltdown. This showed that Yeo Ri was open to recovering her past self.

”I heard from Dr. Jin that you didn't take Dr. Heo's offer to transfer? I'm actually quite glad. I didn't really want a patient of mine to be snatched away from me so easily, haha,” Dr. Hong lightheartedly chuckled.

”...”

”Well, since we still have a lot of time right now, shall we go to the park?” Dr. Hong suggested.

”Sure, whatever.” Yeo Ri shrugged her shoulders. She didn't have the mood to do anything so she just went along with her suggestion.

Dr. Hong continued smiling despite the girl's indifference. Cheerily, she helped push the wheelchair as she chattered endlessly.
