Chapter 387 387: You think someone is helping him?

Meanwhile, Sherlyn was welcomed by Ben, who soon guided her to Valeria's room.

The man seemed obnoxious, speaking briefly and with a professional tone that made Sherlyn cautious under his scrutinizing gaze.

"This way, ma'am," he said, slowly opening the door for her.

Sherlyn cast him a thoughtful look before stepping inside.

The room was eerily quiet, and her gaze immediately fell on the fragile woman sitting in one corner.

Valeria appeared distracted, barely acknowledging her surroundings or the people who entered her room. Something about that struck Sherlyn as odd.

"Hello, Miss Valeria. I'm Dr. Sherlyn," she introduced herself, but the woman didn't so much as blink.

Sherlyn exchanged an awkward glance with Ben, who remained unfazed.

"I would like to speak with the patient alone before starting the therapy session," she said, quickly brushing past her embarrassment and shifting into professional mode.

"But you were already informed about her condition. Why not start right away?" Ben interjected, trying to meddle.

Sherlyn shot him a pointed look. "For a doctor, it's necessary to build a good bond with the patient before treating them. No matter how much I know about her from paperwork, I'd still prefer to hear from her directly."

Ben was taken aback by Sherlyn's professional yet blunt tone. He was skeptical, but he also knew he couldn't interfere with the treatment, especially since the boss had already warned him not to interfere.

In the end, he decided to do as Sherlyn suggested and quickly vacated the room, leaving just the two of them.

Sherlyn breathed a sigh of relief, but she couldn't ignore the fact that they were under surveillance.

One thing Eveline had warned her about was not letting their true intentions slip, not even slightly. Yet, as she observed the woman before her, she wondered if she would be able to get anything out of her.

Still, she refused to give up and resolved to work on her.
