Ethan's eyes lingered on Dr. Lee's, searching for any sign of deception. But her gaze was calm and reassuring, and he felt a strange sense of trust wash over him.
"Okay," he said finally, his voice barely above a whisper. "I'll come with you."
Rachel's eyes widened in shock, and she reached out to grab his arm. "Ethan, don't do this! You don't know what you're getting yourself into!"
But Ethan shook her off, feeling a sense of determination wash over him. He had to know the truth about himself, no matter how strange it seemed.
Dr. Lee smiled, her eyes gleaming with satisfaction. "Excellent," she said. "Follow me."
She turned and walked away, leaving Rachel and Ethan to follow her. They walked through the winding corridors of the hospital, eventually reaching a set of stairs that led down into the depths of the building.
The air grew colder as they descended, and Ethan could feel a strange energy building around him. He glanced at Rachel, but she just shook her head, her eyes filled with worry.
As they reached the bottom of the stairs, Dr. Lee stopped in front of a large metal door. She produced a key and unlocked it, revealing a dimly lit room filled with strange equipment and artifacts.
"Welcome to my laboratory," she said, her voice dripping with excitement. "Here, I'll show you the secrets of your past and your destiny."
Ethan's heart raced as he stepped inside, feeling a sense of trepidation wash over him. What secrets was Dr. Lee hiding? And what did she want from him?
