Chapter 14 - A Late-Night Visitor Brings Shocking News From The Clinic
At midnight, a sharp knock sounded at Ethan’s front door, interrupting his dark, introspective thoughts.
He walked down the hallway and opened the door to find Dr. Harrison standing on the porch under the porch light.
“Dr. Harrison? What are you doing here at this hour?” Ethan asked, stepping aside to let him enter.
“I reviewed Mara’s older lab files from the clinic database, Ethan, and I found something disturbing,” the doctor said grimly.
“What did you find?” Ethan asked, his heart rate spiking instantly.
“Those prescription bottles you found in the house weren't just for supplements or fatigue,” Dr. Harrison explained quietly.
“They were heavy neuro-blockers prescribed to treat advanced stress-induced catatonia.”

“Yes. Her nervous system essentially pulled the emergency brake because her brain could no longer process the overload.”
