The doctor examined Lizetta and, despite sexternal injuries, found nothing internally that would cause her to remain unconscious. It was concluded that her prolonged coma might have psychological roots, and it was suggested that her loved ones should try talking to her more.

That's when Remington realized that Lizetta didn't have many people who mattered to her. Since she was eight and cto live with the Dashiell family, he and his grandmother were her closest kin. Yet, it was also them, and the Dashiell family at large, who had caused her the deepest wounds.

Unable to wake her, Remington called Yolanda and Lucian to her side, but despite their long conversations with Lizetta, there was no change. Yolanda mentioned that Mrs. Bernice Madden had a special bond with Lizetta, suggesting that perhaps she could make a difference.

With a heavy heart, Remington dialed Jerome's number.

"What's happened?" Jerome's worry was palpable through the brief silence that followed, his tone carrying an edge of accusation.

Gripping the phone tighter, Remington's voice was rough with emotion, "She's in a coma... Mrs. Bernice Madden- "I'm bringing Grandma over right now," Jerinterjected before Remington could finish. Without waiting for a thank you, he hung up, his concern and urgency clear even through the phone. Feeling a weight on his chest, Remington tore off his tie in frustration, struggling to breathe.

Just then, there was a knock on the door. He opened it, hoping for good news about Lizetta, but instead found Cedric and a psychologist.

"Mr. Dashiell, Dr. Daphne is here to see you," Cedric announced.

Dr. Daphne, known as the best psychologist in Zion City, greeted Remington with a gentle smile. She was the epitof calm, with frameless glasses and her hair tied back in a simple ponytail.

"I've already visited the patient. Now, I'd like to ask Mr. Dashiell a few questions, if you'd be so kind as to answer them honestly," she said as they took a seat.

Remington was hesitant to revisit the painful events that led to Lizetta's state but understood the necessity. "Is it really that important?" he asked, skepticism lacing his words.

"Absolutely," Dr. Daphne assured. "The last word's she heard or the final thoughts she had before slipping into this state might be key to understanding why she refuses to wake up. We need to address the root cause." Remington shared the story, and after listening, Dr. Daphne offered her professional insight.

"It seems she might be overwhelmed with sorrow and disappointment, possibly fearing that waking up would mean facing further confinement by you, MR Dashiell. It's likely she's chosen to remain asleep to avoid this." The possibility that Lizetta was in this state because of him turned Remington's face even paler.

"So, you're saying she's doing this because she feels forced byand doesn't want to face me?" he asked, ΝΟ the intensity in his eyes making even the seasoned psychologist momentarily uneasy. "I suggest that you try reassuring her that she won't be forced into

anything anymore. It's likely she can hear you Right now, what she needs most is hope a reason to want to stay alive and awake," Dr. Daphne advised, emphasizing the
