Luke frowned. Something wasn't right.
But he didn't say anything, and simply waited quietly for Jessica to finish reciting a string of street names before she slowly calmed down.
However, he could sense through Mental Communication that she wasn't truly calm.
All sorts of intense emotions had been temporarily suppressed by her reciting the street names.
He sighed inwardly and was ready to call it a day.
With Mental Communication and Basic Hypnosis, he had long known that there was something wrong with Jessica's mental state, which was why he hadn't asked her before.
Now, he had only tested her a little, but he could already sense that Jessica was dispirited, and there was a sense of mania spreading inside. It definitely wasn't a good feeling.
After Jessica calmed down, she said, "I don't want to talk about it now." She then walked back to her room.
Luke thought about what she said and felt that there was still hope.
If she didn't want to talk about it now, they could talk about it later.
He was patient, and patience was what a police officer couldn't do without.
That was the end of their conversation.
Haley soon arrived in a hurry.
After talking to Luke and Richard for a moment, she got Selina to bring Molly, who was tired from struggling, into the bedroom.
Looking at the closed bedroom door, Richard was uneasy. He leaned over to Luke and said, "Luke, is there … going to be a problem?"
Luke said, "We can only trust Dr. Haley. She's the professional. But you might have to cancel your trip home. "
Richard grew nervous. "No, I won't blame Molly. She's just mentally ill …"
Luke raised his hand to stop him. "Richard, I don't want to take you back to the police department now, nor in the future. What I mean is that you better find a place for Molly to go home after we resolve this matter. "
Richard heaved a sigh of relief and asked tentatively, "Where?"
Luke said, "Ask Dr. Haley later. She might have a suitable suggestion."
Richard's face fell. What good suggestion did a psychologist have? Wasn't it just sending her to a mental hospital?
But sending a mentally ill daughter to detention would only make things worse.
Luke didn't comfort him anymore.
In Molly's current situation, it would be best if she could go to a mental hospital. He couldn't give Richard and his wife too high hopes.
Haley's session lasted more than an hour.
When she came out, exhausted, the Richards immediately surrounded her. "Dr. Haley, how's Molly?"
Haley scanned the people in the room and finally looked at Jessica. "Miss Jones, I can't reveal the patient's condition to you, so can you please leave?"
Jessica, who had been sitting quietly in the corner, looked up blankly. Haley repeated what she had just said.
Jessica silently stood up and walked out the door.
Haley didn't talk to everyone for long. She only told the couple that Molly's condition was stable for now, but that she needed to go to a specialist hospital for treatment and observation immediately. This was the best choice for them and their daughter.
The treatment would not be short, and the Richards had to be prepared for it.
After Luke asked, Haley gave him a specialist hospital — King's Park Sanatorium.
The sanatorium was located on the west side of Brooklyn by the sea. The environment was not bad, and it was also where Haley worked.
Haley assured the Richards that Molly could receive "normal" treatment there, and that they could visit Molly often.
Mr. and Mrs. Richards, shaken by the day's events, quickly agreed with Hallie.
Luke's car was best for escorting dangerous people, so he temporarily acted as the driver and took Molly to the sanatorium.
The Richards followed in the car.
After the deal was settled, everyone left.
This time, Luke and Selina helped carry Molly's belongings downstairs and put them in the Richards' car.
When they left, Jessica suddenly jogged to catch up with Luke. "Give me your number."
As he led Molly forward, Luke took out his card and gave it to her. "I hope you won't make me wait too long, Miss Jones."
Jessica didn't respond. She put the card in her pocket and sped up to leave.
Haley, who was following behind, watched this scene with great interest. Her eyes were filled with curiosity.
Of course, she didn't think that Jessica had taken a fancy to Luke. It was more likely that she had something to talk to him about in private.
She was also interested in Jessica.
However, her attention was mainly on Molly, and she wasn't in a hurry to get in touch with Jessica.
Half an hour later, Luke sized up the sanatorium by the sea. "Looks like the environment isn't bad. It's not like a horror movie."
Walking on the rocks by the sea with him, Selina said casually, "You don't watch horror movies. How do you know what it's going to look like?"
Luke rolled his eyes. "I saw Jennifer Perry's famous film in high school. She was called the Scream Queen back then. Do you dare say that it wasn't a horror movie?"
Selina was lost for words.
In that movie, there was the night, the murderer in the mask, and the beautiful Jennifer who was running around in her wet pajamas. How could it not be a horror movie when all three of the classic elements of a horror movie were present?
She could only change the topic. "How do we find that Kilgrave? Judging from how he gave Molly away and hinted that she might kill or commit suicide, he probably doesn't care about this abandoned "toy" anymore. "
Luke sighed. "Earlier, Haley said that he might be arrogant and didn't order Molly to keep quiet about it. Now, it seems that he wasn't arrogant. He just wanted Molly to kill herself. "
If he hadn't been there, it would have been hard to say whether one or three people would have died in the elevator.
"Let's look at the surveillance cameras around Molly's apartment later and see if we can find any clues about Kilgrave," he said.
After chatting for a while, they saw a person walking over from the small door of the sanatorium.
"Sorry to trouble you, Haley," said Luke.
Haley pushed up her black-rimmed glasses and flipped her blonde hair. "That's my problem too, isn't it? What are you going to do? "
Luke said, "Let us know if there are any clues about Molly. We'll focus on Kilgrave's whereabouts and try to resolve this problem as soon as possible."
Haley said, "I don't want to say it, but it won't do Molly any good unless she sees this person die with her own eyes."
Luke chuckled. "I'm a detective. Using guns is my specialty. You're a doctor. Treating patients is your specialty, isn't it? "
After a brief silence, she said, "That's true. I can only hope that everything goes well for you."
