21 Treatment
Silence has become the norm for Emilia and James twice a week, for three hours at a time. Just because of the invisible wall that the two of them erected against each other, there shouldn't be any difference this time.
But let's see, didn't Zach just make a hole in the wall.
Emilia sat on the couch with her notebook in front of her lap. There are words of unknown meaning written on it. This notebook used to record and evaluate patients has become Emilia's doodle book, not a single record from the treatment process, but in silence, occasionally glance at James, half-reclining, asleep with his arms crossed, frowning, and writing down-
'James knows everything'?
'James was really stupid'?
'James is already a dead man'?
......
Why does a psychiatrist know how to read lip syncs?! Emilia dropped the pen in her hand, closed the notebook, and snorted irritably! Does Zach think he knows her very well!
'What the hell was the vampire talking about in the police station?!'
This is important, James captures a vampire and takes it to the police station. James, Emilia's own patient, caught the one, not just a random roadside thing, but the one, Grande's vampire, to the police station!
Emilia shook off her notebook and walked to her desk in a huffy manner, she needed some coffee.
The sound of clothes rubbing against the soft and comfortable sofa that provided comfort for the patient sounded, and James's head was exposed on the backrest, and some reddish eyes looked at Amilia, "Sorry, doctor, I'm asleep." ”
Emilia frowned, poured two cups of coffee, and handed one to James. A cup leaned against his lips, trying his best to hide his true feelings, and sat back on the sofa, "No need to apologize." "The police and the psychiatrist have the same specialty, Emilia should be careful," your partner, Detective Cousson, didn't say. You're doing important work, and I think you're going to be tired. ”
James also covered half of his face with a cup leaning against his lips, "Yes, important work. James shut up.
Staring at the swaying surface of the coffee in the cup, James's eyes were gloomy. The important work was let go by Curson, and Zach wanted to explain, but he refused.
Emilia picked up the notebook and pen again, and with the doctor's attitude towards the patient, "Do you want to talk?" Emilia looked at her notebook. Randomly draw circles on the empty page to create the illusion that I am writing, "Or I just need to write in the summary of this treatment, the patient is too tired, so he slept for three hours." ”
Emilia looked up at James, "The 'important work' of the police is more important than Patton's safety, and obviously more than the mental health of the individual. That's right, Detective Reims. ”
Speaking of which. James is weird, too. Why? We can see from some of James's words and actions that James thought Emilia was a good woman. But all the two we see getting along, it's basically Emilia crushing James.
Listen to this sentence, the work of the police is naturally important, which is the foundation of the stability of the city. The mental health of an individual is nothing. Isn't it PTSD, just call the police if you cause trouble, wait, what's wrong, report it...... PTSD patients are police!
James's coffee throat jammed for a moment. After the uncomfortable sound, the coffee cup was slammed on the coffee table, "I won't talk to you about the case! You're just a civilian! You don't have the right to know my job!"
"Oh. Emilia looked away, looking around her office, "Is this our relationship, police and civilians?" Emilia shook her head, "No, you're wrong, I see that just an uncooperative patient in my office is wasting the department's money and my time." ”
James grimaced and didn't want to speak.
Every time, 'psychotherapy', 'conversation', or 'waste of time', whatever you want to call it a fixed itinerary twice a week, will come to this point anyway - silence, mutual dislike, silence, and the end.
Emilia didn't seem to be ready to remain silent, otherwise she wouldn't have kindly given James coffee, there were some things she had to figure out!
"Yes, since it's important work. Emilia waved her hand, "I think I'll be able to see it in the newspaper in a few days." Emilia watched James's mood change, "Then I know what my patients are always reluctant to talk about." Am I right, detective? ”
Irritability was clearly visible on James's face, and he was still clutching his shoulders in an old-fashioned defensive stance.
Emilia is ready to go to the next level, no matter why, just like the police interrogating the suspect and breaking through the suspect's defenses, it is a natural necessity, and the psychiatrist does the same job.
Speaking of which, these two men are playing the same game, but unfortunately, this is Emilia's home field, not the interrogation room. James disadvantaged. The disadvantage is good, hehe.
"But I think what I saw has nothing to do with the ...... I saw at the police station before," Emilia paused, "sir, it probably has nothing to do with it." ”
"What are you talking about. James stared gloomily at his doctor, like a suspect he had interrogated staring at him when he had stepped on a mine. Disadvantage, huh.
"When you came, I saw him get out of your car and go to catch the bus. Emilia said coldly that she saw the facts, and suddenly sneered, "So you delayed my appointment, and the result was that you caught the wrong person." ”
James's expression was visibly darker, and the mine was accurate enough.
"Do you often catch the wrong person?" Emilia tilted her head, this time with a curious expression of 'civilian', and then continued to sneer and shake her head, "I know, I'm a civilian, I don't have the right to know, right." Emilia scribbled something in her notebook.
"What are you writing about?!" James asked gloomily.
"You're a patient, and you don't have the right to know. Emilia glanced at James and turned the page.
James turned his head irritably, looking at the time, three hours was still a long time, and unfortunately, the caffeine had already begun to work. Emilia was on fire at the beginning of today, and the rest of the time was very difficult! The suspect in the interrogation room could still ask for a lawyer, and James couldn't do anything!
In fact, James has an incident to fight back - the police's missing persons team is still holding the case of Emilia's boyfriend's disappearance. Even if it's to curry favor, Emilia shouldn't be so aggressive with a police detective who helps report the crime, right?
Hehe, but anyone can talk about this case that we all know the outcome of, but James can't.
"Are you ready to be silent for the whole course of treatment? Amilia's pen lit up in the notebook, her slender legs folded, "Because of your lack of cooperation, I have to do a lot of the work myself. Emilia waved her hand, "Maybe I should tell you that I went to the police station today to look for you, not only to warn you of the no-show, but also to pay some attention to your colleagues." ”
Emilia looked down at James, "We have something to say, so let's change the subject and talk about the two upside-down picture frames on your desk." ”
One is a photo with Georgina, and the other is a photo with General Lance.
Of course, these two topics are not mixed up, and the profession of a psychiatrist is not mixed! The options have been given to James, do you want to talk about topics that you don't want to talk about, or do you want to talk about topics that you don't want to talk about? Or do you want to talk about topics that you don't want to talk about?
The choice is yours. (To be continued......)
