30 Days Till I Divorce My Husband

Chapter 292

In that moment, despite a lingering sense of melancholy, Estrella maintained her composure with practiced ease.

Hearing this, the doctor said, “Ms. Estrella, even though we’ve just revisited a time from seven years ago, I regret to inform you that the fire you spoke of remains elusive in your memory.”

She continued, “Perhaps, Ms. Estrella, the events you’ve just recalled are more significant to you than the fire.”

A shiver ran down Estrella’s spine as she looked at Dr. Abigail and asked, “What did I remember just now? What did I say?”

Dr. Abigail handed her a cassette tape. “Don’t be too anxious, Ms. Estrella. This is the recording from our session. You can listen to it at home.”

Confused, Estrella took the tape. If she hadn’t said much, why were there tears streaking her face, and why was Jason’s expression so grave?

As Estrella accepted the tape, the doctor added, “There is another possibility. If you can’t recall that memory later on, it may have been deliberately erased through hypnosis. But we will need a few more sessions to confirm this theory.”

At this, Estrella turned to look at Jason.
