Chapter 278 - Confess to her(Part-1) (1/2)

”Dr. Zhou, what is the meaning of this? You told us to scare the lady, then why did this man come over to beat us?” The first man asked, disgruntled over the whole chain of events.

”Yes, you must give us an explanation and compensate us for this.” The third man snapped.

The second man was not even in a position to say a word. One look at these men, and everyone could get afraid at the sight of Mo Jiang.

They were actors and they earned money using their faces but Mo Jiang had almost disfigured their faces.

It was not that they were working with Zhou Xuiye for the first time but this time, they were truly disappointed with whatever game she had planned.

”I am sorry for what you have suffered but you don't have to worry, I will make sure that you get the complete treatment and I will compensate you heavily.” Zhou Xuiye assured them with a look of guilt.

She had not only lied to Mo Jiang but also to these men.

Mo Jiang's anger somehow suppressed hearing those men and Zhou Xuiye's conversation. He had chosen Zhou Xuiye because he knew that she would die rather than betray him. However, when he saw that Liu Juan was going through the same pain she had suffered in the past, he lost his rationality and rushed here.

But now it seemed that Zhou Xuiye had planned something different from what she had said to him. He narrowed his eyes at her and asked, ”What did you exactly plan?”

Seeing that Mo Jiang came back to being rational, Zhou Xuiye sighed in relief. Otherwise, she would have died before treating Liu Juan completely.

She was never scared of him but now she was.

”Leave him and take these men away.” Zhou Xuiye said to the staff men.

The staff men gave a second look towards Mo Jiang to check whether he was really calm enough to talk to Zhou Xuiye or if he was just faking it.

After a few moments of scrutiny, the staff men released Mo Jiang and took the other men out as Zhou Xuiye had ordered

Zhou Xuiye sat on the couch with the help of Mary, while Mo Jiang went to check on Liu Juan.

”Don't worry, she has just passed out.” Zhou Xuiye said to Mo Jiang and gave a look to Mary to leave but Mary ignored her look and continued to stand there.

There was no way Mary would leave Zhou Xuiye alone with Mo Jiang.

Zhou Xuiye felt warm in her heart. Although she didn't have a family,  she still had someone who cared for her.

”Tell me now.” Mo Jiang sat opposite her and added, ”The complete truth.”

”This treatment is called exposure therapy where we expose the fear of a patient in a safe environment. Liu Juan's fear is her past. Initially, I thought if we show care towards Liu Juan, she would get ready to tell about her past but this didn't happen. So, I changed my plan to threaten her that if she won't speak, she would lose the people who care for her. However, there are high chances that patients refuse to fight back against these threats and they go into depression. Liu Juan did the same.” Zhou Xuiye paused to take a sip of water and continued further. ”So I planned ahead and I thought to repeat all the things that happened in her past. That's why, I asked you about her past.”

”Then, why didn't you tell me that these men were just scaring her off?” Mo Jiang sternly asked.
