Chapter 303: Father?
Melanie stood frozen, staring at Adam as the weight of his words settled around her. She had seen her father and then had a panic attack? How was that possible?
Her brow furrowed and she tried to picture that day trying to recall who she might have crossed paths with that could have been her father? The elevator had been empty and any other memory remained hazy. Nothing specific came to mind. No face. No voice.
She looked at Adam, hoping he would be able tell her more. But he only returned her gaze silently, letting her reach it on her own.
She sent him an accusing look," Why do you have to make me feel like a detective? Just tell me everything directly."
Adam shrugged,"Because your subconscious mind can give you better answers."
Melanie thought hard as she began voice, "That day... I had gone to see Marianne Thomas. For the refurbishment consult and then I had the panic attack.."
Adam nodded once, but still said nothing.
"I remember that part. But I did not meet anyone new on that day. Just Marianne and then in the elevator I stared to feel sick... " Melanie paused, thinking hard as she tried to think whom she could have met. ’Could it be that she had spotted her father somewhere before that?’
She closed her eyes for a moment, pressing her fingers into her temple and sighed "But the full-blown panic... it came later. After I left the building. I remember that now. I got to the front doors and that’s when I couldn’t breathe anymore."
