CHAPTER 40: CHAPTER 40: COMPETING WITH THE BIG SHOT FOR TALENT

That day, when Sabrina Hayes returned home, she was utterly exhausted from the extended treatment sessions, so she spent quite a bit of time recuperating, getting ready for the next day’s therapy.

That night, at the military compound.

Commander Coleman suddenly received a call from Jasper Fitzgerald, "I will be coming over at 3 AM to conduct psychological treatment for those two special forces members with unique conditions."

Treatment in the middle of the night?

Commander Coleman was surprised but didn’t ask much.

This person has always had a way of doing things unconventionally, but no one has ever doubted his professionalism.

Since he chose this time, it must be with purpose!

Besides, the higher-ups had instructed that whatever he requires should be complied with, no negligence allowed.

Commander Coleman quickly replied, "Alright, I’ll make the arrangements!"

...

At 3 AM, a discreet yet luxurious Rolls-Royce sliced through the night, entering the military compound.

Jasper Fitzgerald stepped out from the back seat, dressed in a black shirt, dress pants, and a long black coat, exuding a different aura from the cool detachment he showed during the day, as if ready to merge into the night.

The only constant was his inherent grace, along with an ever-increasing mysterious and powerful presence.

Soon, Jasper Fitzgerald and Nash Spencer went up to the psychological treatment room on the second floor.

Commander Coleman was already waiting there.

Seeing them, he immediately stepped forward, "Mr. Fitzgerald, you’re here?"

Jasper Fitzgerald nodded slightly and said, "Sorry to trouble you for this late trip, Commander."

His tone was clearly courteous, yet somehow carried an innate aura of authority.

Even someone as authoritative as Commander Coleman felt that his demeanor seemed a bit diminished.

He waved it off, saying, "Mr. Fitzgerald is the one who has worked hard."

Jasper Fitzgerald didn’t mind.

He didn’t particularly think of it as hard work.

But as for the two special forces members about to be treated, he knitted his brows slightly.

The symptoms of these two are different from others; their emotions easily become violent, irritable, and at times they scream, clutch their heads and cry, sometimes showing signs of depression and suicidal tendencies.

Based on past treatment cases, he determined these two special forces members are experiencing symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).

Investigations showed that before leaving the battlefield, they underwent a period of psychological torment.

Both were trapped deep in enemy territory, witnessing exceedingly cruel methods of killing and were soaked in blood, surrounded by piles of corpses.

With such experiences, it’s hard to imagine not developing PTSD.

Previously, Jasper Fitzgerald had already conducted psychological counselling for them twice.

Their conditions noticeably improved.

By rights, even if not fully cured, they should have recovered about seventy to eighty percent.

But within days, their symptoms recurred and were more severe than before.

Jasper Fitzgerald vaguely felt something was off, which is why he chose this particular time to use special methods to retreat them.

Soon, he was ready and entered the dark therapy room.

One of the special forces members was already waiting.

The other appeared to be in poor spirits, looking drowsy, with veins faintly bulging on their forehead, as if enduring some pain.

After entering, Jasper Fitzgerald wasted no time and quickly began the treatment...

It took about an hour!

Jasper Fitzgerald came out of the therapy room looking exhausted.

"Mr. Fitzgerald, how did it go?"

Commander Coleman asked with concern.

Jasper Fitzgerald rubbed his forehead, his brows slightly furrowed, not speaking as he recalled the treatment process.

Previously, he suspected whether the two special forces members had developed dissociative identity disorder, or multiple personalities, due to intense trauma, hence displaying so many varied emotions.

Thus, he specifically chose to treat them when their mental defenses were weakest.

He intended to attempt to draw out the other personalities in them.

But the results were not as he expected.

At this point, Jasper Fitzgerald had to start considering other factors.

He had absolute confidence in his abilities.

If he couldn’t cure the two, perhaps it wasn’t solely within the realm of mental issues!

That night, before leaving, Jasper Fitzgerald told Commander Coleman, "I will report the situation of the two special forces members to the higher authorities. As for further treatment, wait for my notice."

Commander Coleman, naturally, nodded in agreement.

The next day, Sabrina Hayes came over as usual for treatment, her eyes not forgetting to keep an eye on the outside.

Commander Coleman, observing this, truthfully said, "Mr. Fitzgerald came over last night for midnight psychological treatment for the two special patients. He may arrive late today."

Sabrina Hayes was surprised.

Midnight treatment?

That big shot is really elusive!

But it’s okay, she can wait.

No matter how long it takes!

While Sabrina Hayes is treating, Zara plays with the little military puppies as usual.

The two little ones got along well yesterday, and today they are rolling around together in the grass.

Not only that, but the little cub also brought art supplies.

She wants to find the handsome uncle to learn painting from him!

Sabrina Hayes doesn’t know about this.

She continues tirelessly, treating those special forces members.

After yesterday’s performance, now the entire military district knows about this miracle doctor with extraordinary medical skills.

Chronic illnesses from years ago were easily cured, resulting in an especially long line of people today.

Sabrina Hayes originally only treated for half a day, but today she waited an extra two hours for Jasper Fitzgerald.

Commander Coleman didn’t dare to overwork her too much, so in the end, he left just two people and said to Sabrina Hayes, "These two are the ones Mr. Fitzgerald treated last night, named Ronan Gable and Jax. They also have chronic conditions, so please help them first, Dr. Nash."

Sabrina Hayes had no objections and glanced at the two men.

Under thirty, they looked very unwell, with gray, unhealthy complexions.

Sabrina Hayes paused, subconsciously asking, "What symptoms do these two heroes have? Are they... already treated?"

They don’t seem like it?

Commander Coleman shook his head, "Their condition is severe, with specific symptoms of emotional instability, fluctuations between excitement and depression... However, Mr. Fitzgerald is sure to cure them; he has never failed!"

Sabrina Hayes didn’t doubt his abilities.

But she still felt something was very off about these two.

Especially with the blue veins protruding unnaturally on their foreheads.

Following a doctor’s intuition, Sabrina Hayes immediately looked serious and checked their pulses.

Seeing the change in her expression, Commander Coleman immediately asked, "Dr. Nash, are there issues with their chronic conditions? There shouldn’t be... The military doctors treated them initially and arranged special care for their health."

Sabrina Hayes shook her head, "I’m not sure yet, let me check further..."

While speaking, she released their wrists and started examining their eyes, checking the whites, then conducted a series of subtle tests.

Eventually, her fingers touched the temples of both men.

When she applied pressure with her fingertips, the two men’s expressions twisted briefly.

At that moment, Sabrina Hayes almost instantly confirmed that these two had obvious abnormalities in the brain nerves.

"Commander Coleman, these two heroes should not belong to psychological treatment but should be my patients."

Commander Coleman was surprised, "Oh? Is that true?"

Sabrina Hayes said, "You mentioned they have emotional instability and fluctuations, which naturally indicates brain nerve damage. Physical conditions can sometimes make life unbearable! If there’s sensation, it’s easier to deal with, but for these two, the symptoms have been ongoing without mention, clearly abnormal..."

Hearing this, Commander Coleman couldn’t help but be concerned, "What should we do? Can you treat them, Dr. Nash?"

Sabrina Hayes replied without hesitation, "Yes, but the treatment process will be risky. This time the acupuncture points are no longer on the body but on their heads!"

Acupuncture points on the head carry greater risks.

Although she has the confidence.

She was afraid they wouldn’t be able to accept it.

Unexpectedly, Commander Coleman didn’t hesitate and said, "They will accept it; they are soldiers. Their superiors want them healthy, and they only need to comply unconditionally."

"In that case, let’s just start right away."

Sabrina Hayes is not someone who likes to procrastinate; she immediately began preparations.

Then, a long treatment process began...

This acupuncture session continued until evening.

By the end, the two special forces members felt clear-headed, no longer feeling their heads heavy as a thousand pounds!

"Previously, there was always an involuntary surge of manic depression. When angry, I wanted to bang my head against the wall or had a destructive urge, but now that impulse seems to have disappeared; it’s a strange feeling."

"Me too! Before, even in normal states, my mind couldn’t calm down, but now... I feel as if my mind has been cleansed, very calm and rational!"

The two special forces members shared their feelings.

Sabrina Hayes was not surprised, "The environment you were in might have been too harsh, causing unseen damage to your spirits and bodies, especially the nervous system, which is quite peculiar...

Fortunately, now it’s been cured, and there should be no issues in the future!"

The two immediately expressed their gratitude repeatedly.

Sabrina Hayes waved her hand and gave them a prescription, instructing, "Three meals a day, take them on time. Also, this medicinal oil, remember to apply it on your temples every night before bed. It’s for repairing the damaged nerves... In about half a month, you should make a full recovery."

Seeing this, Commander Coleman couldn’t help but marvel.

Already... cured just like that???

He quickly ran outside to make a call.

This matter must be reported to Mr. Fitzgerald promptly.
