Chapter 176 - Deductions

After taking Stella to the hospital and a series of check up were conducted on her, and was told she's physically fine, but not sure about her mentally.

Alex nearly had a heart attack when a psychiatric hospital was recommended. He controlled himself and try not to give in to it.

He was told to be mindful of his health. His body is at risk. If he stressed it too mentally or physically; it might results to his death.

According to the doctor; she's either sane and locked herself in her own body, due to a shock, or her unwillingness to face reality.

Or she has gone insane.

The best option is to visit a psychiatric hospital, as it's not something that concern physical health for now, and surely not something they can help with.

Without any other choice; Alex did as he was told. It's been a week after the incident. Alex was now sitting in front of the psychiatrist in charge of Stella, who was still the same.

It's like taking care of a newborn. Even newborn protest with cries at times, but in her case; she was like being controlled by a remote.

She sat exactly where she was led and rarely blink. Alex has lost count of the number of times he has cried like a baby over this. He has never seen anything like this and it's very scary.

"What happened to her before she became like that?" the doctor asked.

Alex couldn't say much, as he wasn't presented at the scene, but if he should guess; he would say it's because someone tried to kill her husband.

But based on the story his family told him about her and Shane; he knew that can't be the reason. She will surely be happy that someone wants to get rid of Shane, so she will finally be free.

He had assumed it to be Diana, which he feared. If it's her; he won't lock himself like Stella; he will die immediately. That's his life. His reason for still holding onto his life and getting his treatment to get better.

But after contacting Nathan few days ago; he told him Diana was alive. Which was why he couldn't put his finger on what exactly was wrong with her.

Unbeknown to Alex; Nathan has finally reached out to Ethan and asked about Diana, under Aroma's pressure.

Even though he's pissed at Diana and couldn't wait for her to return and serve her punishment; he still ended up giving in to her worried teacher.

Ethan confirmed that she's fine, which is true, as Diana was fully back on her feet and will be having her treatment and be free of her cold in 5 days time.

Nathan didn't say anything to Alex about the attack. He actually didn't want to talk about Diana for the time being, as he's really angry.

They've gotten rid of Shane's men and didn't suffer any life loses, except properties, which was being handled presently.

It affected their routine at the camps that got attacked. The trainees were taken to other bases to train, till the damages got restored, while Aroma ended up emptying her things from her personal house, moved it to her lab and sacrifice the place to the others.

Those who aren't trainees had no choice than to stay.

...

Alex explained to the doctor, based on his understanding. Being a psychiatrist; he didn't view everything simply as Alex did.

He began asking personal questions, like anything that happens to Stella that day, which he's aware of and many more.

Alex wanted to be secretive, as opening up will means telling the doctor all the things the netizen has been curious about. Some things that have been asked from him during interviews, which he refused to answer.

After the whole situation escalated, people were asking for an interview with Stella. They wanna know what's going. It's none of their business, but they made it there's with claims that shooting occurs, which could have accidentally taken the life of the innocent.

They claimed they wanted to know what happened and be rest assured that they are safe to sleep in their houses, without getting blown up or mistakenly shot down while coming out of their house.

Those claims add sauce to the whole thing, making it more tasty. There are people who claimed a young lady was being chased and shot at, on the day of the attack.

Some claimed a car stopped by and picked up the lady. And of course, there are traces of blood on the floor, which makes the situation not ordinary and gave people the right to share their opinions, while the detectives were doing their work.

"Mr Mill, it's totally necessary that I know everything. I need to understand the situation better, before I know the next steps to take.

Anything shared between us in here will remain here. You can be rest assured and let's work together to help Miss Stella." the doctor, a young man in his early thirties, average looking well built blonde dude said, making Alex relaxed his nerves after his assurance.

Alex finally summarize the situation to him, which he listen to attentively, without a change in his expression. He started making deductions and imagining the situation from Stella's point.

Assuming himself as Stella and wondering what and what she must have been going through. Why she suddenly broke down when she has held on all this while.

She didn't break down when Alex was taken away from her mall, in a bad shape. She explained her reason to Alex's family, which means she still care about Alex and wanted him to understand her.

From the deduction; Shane was definitely not the reason. They saw her in a comfortable position on her bed before getting her out of the house.

Clearly the person that came wasn't after her, but Shane. If he were to be in Stella's case; he will definitely aid the killer in getting rid of Shane for sure, which leaves only one possibility.

"When did your daughter leave your workplace?" he asked.
