Stella was cutting her steak and she did not seem to notice the strange expression on Black's face. She explained enthusiastically, "It could be someone who is no longer able to take care of himself, lost his mind, and needs his family to help him on making life decisions. Or it could be somebody who wants to let go of everything completely and start a new life. Although hypnosis could seal one's memories, it still depends on the patient's will and effort in order to pull it through."
A hint of sadness passed through Black's eyes. He lowered his eyes and started cutting on his steak.
Stella sensed that he had something on his mind, but he didn't seem like someone who liked to share, so she never pressed on. As a matter of fact, being a doctor, she heard her fair share of other people's worries and troubles.
She continued working on her steak.
Neither of them spoke until Stella finished her meal.
