The director said: “You don’t need to understand them. If you are a doctor in a mental hospital, do you have to understand their thinking and behavior? Before you do any reaction, you have to think about your responsibilities, your scope of work, and behaviors that exceed your limit. Be cautious, or the organization will give you a heavy blow. Any industry has its code of conduct, in the scope of the code of conduct, you can do anything. Once you exceed, you have to think. Industry responsibilities are not for you personally. It is a constraint on the entire industry.”
Elisa saw the director’s rare serious appearance, and listened carefully.
Elisa: “…”

When he got off work in the afternoon, William first picked up Bruce, and then waited for Elisa at the entrance of the hospital.
When Elisa and the director went downstairs, William and Bruce were already inside.
As soon as Elisa saw William, she wanted to make a detour silently. Who knows, she just came up with this idea.
Bruce turned his head and called out crisply, “Mommy, Dad and I have come to pick you up from getting off work.”
Elisa twitched the corners of her mouth fiercely, barely letting him show a particularly cordial smile, and turned towards the astonished eyes of the onlookers.
The two walked.
William wrapped her waist with a smile, and kissed him on the cheek casually in front of everyone.
Then very gentlemanly he opened the co-driver and closed the door for her, as always, helped her fasten her seat belt, and then greeted the director.
Bruce sat back consciously, and sat in line with the director.

After driving for half an hour, the car arrived at the district where the director’s house was located. The director invited them to eat.
His wife was a very hospitable person, and the five people had a good meal. His wife was teaching psychology at Monash University, and Elisa studied psychology with her for a year. However, she is not very interested in psychology. What she advocated was to solve problems directly, and she is too lazy to judge and understand others through micro-expressions and subtext.
Therefore, her psychology scores are average.
Later, because of the director’s relationship, the two talents got acquainted with each other. The director and the teacher have no children. When his parents are not at home, Elisa often eats food with them.
They get along well. They also liked Elisa’s temperament very much, and treated her almost as if she were a child. Every time they travel or go on business, they will bring her a gift.
Elisa and the others stayed at the director’s house until half past nine and left.
When the car reached a corner, Elisa’s gaze paused, and he caught a glimpse of a figure at the crossroads. When she was about to take a closer look, the man had disappeared into the crowd.
William noticed her expression and asked, “What’s the matter?”
“It’s okay, I’m a little dizzy.” Elisa replied, but a suspicion flashed in his heart.
She had clearly seen the dead Brent just now. She has been with Brent for more than four months and is familiar with many of his angles. That person is really like Brent. She had clearly seen Brent’s body, then who was the person walking on the road just now?
The person lying in the morgue, she had carefully seen that it was indeed Brent.
The carbonized skin on the cheeks and neck fits perfectly, and there is no way to fake it.
But the person on the road just now was also Brent.
How can this be?
Elisa secretly wrote down the name of the intersection and the direction in which the person disappeared.

What happened to Elisa has aroused great repercussions among medical staff, family members, and patients, and even catches up on the work forums of medical staff.
The catcher mentioned some gossip. It had a big impact on Elisa’s work.
The number of patients who came to look for Elisa was much less.
Elisa did not respond. When there was no patient, she would study the case or discuss academic issues with the director and Professor Newt Malick. She was usually very busy at work, so there are few leisure days like this.
She also has a sense of comfort when she is paid and not working. When she talked about it, she was almost sprayed to death by the director’s saliva.
As soon as Elisa came back from Professor Newt Malick’s laboratory, Tyler greeted her, “Elisa, a lady named Santos just called you.”
“Miss Santos?” Elisa was a little confused, thinking of Britany.
“right.”
“Did she say anything to do with me?”
“She left her mobile phone number and said you come back to call her.” Xiaofang said, bringing a piece of paper with her mobile phone number on it.
Elisa took the note paper, glanced at the phone number, picked up the phone on the desk, went to the end of the corridor, and dialed it.
The phone rang for a while before being answered, “Hello, this is Britany.”
“Hello, this is Elisa.”
“Doctor Elisa, are you free today? I want to see you.”
“I’m relatively free now, and I don’t have any problems after I get off work.” Elisa smiled.
“Okay.” Britany hung up after speaking.
Elisa found that she liked Britany’s temperament very much. Her non-progressive and non-perfunctory way of doing things was very similar to her.

Elisa drove to the restaurant and agreed with Britany after work.
Britany had arrived. Seeing Elisa appear at the entrance of the restaurant, she waved at her, “Here.”
Elisa walked quickly to the opposite of Britany and sat down, “Sorry, I kept you waiting.”
“I just arrived. I have already ordered. You can order for yourself if. The two of us don’t need to be so far apart from each other.”
