The next day.

It was 10 a.m. John had invited the most famous doctor in town to Imperial Garden to run an examination on Nicole.

“Doctor, I’ve been hallucinating at irregular times these days… Is there anything wrong with my brain? Or could it be some form of mental problem?”

“Just relax. Let me have a look.”

Then, the doctor asked a series of questions and carried out a few physical checks on her. “There seems to be nothing wrong with your health. Everything appears normal,” he said after a brief moment of analysis.

Nicole gave a somewhat confused frown. “I’m normal? Why have I been having hallucinations then?”

The doctor was quiet for a second before he answered, “It could be a result of external triggers instead of physical health factors.”

“What I meant was,” he answered mindfully, “There’s a possibility that it could be due to some form of shock on your consciousness or the nervous system, which might have resulted from something you ate or came into physical contact with. It’s likely that your body isn’t showing any symptoms as of now after you’ve recovered from such triggers.”

She pondered upon his words in silence.
