Chapter 39: Aftermath
Rage is usually considered a very dangerous mental illness. In the 1950s and 1960s, the United States even forced such people to undergo anterior lobectomy.
Maybe they didn't know the dangers of anterior lobectomy, or they thought that an idiot might be better than a saboteur.
The destructive ability of violent disorder is really powerful.
At least Catherine sees it that way.
Testicular rupture was removed, left eyeball fragmentation, comminuted rib fracture, stomach bleeding, spleen removed, liver dysfunction, lung lobe injury, comminuted fracture of the left thigh was amputated, and the right leg is likely to have lesions...
But after learning the news, Catherine felt so happy.
Bitman's life is a waste of time.
Although this incident was surprising, it also reminded Catherine.
It’s absolutely impossible to go on like this!
She has become a girl, she needs some ability to protect herself.
Catherine suddenly thought of when she was in Seattle. If he didn't meet Bruce Lee by chance, maybe he would be in danger.
Maybe I should learn some martial arts?
Catherine silently set such a goal for herself in her heart.
Firearms, self-defense techniques, etc., at least I have to know some of these.
By the way, I don’t know if there are anti-wolf electric shock devices in this era, maybe I can bring some?
Maybe, I should hire some security?
In short, Catherine’s own safety has been raised to the same important position as development.
"Blackwater Company", Catherine wrote such a term in the notebook she carried with her.
But after thinking about it, she changed the term to "black reef", which seemed to sound better.
Catherine has a notebook that she carries with her. This book records some of Catherine’s thoughts.
People’s memory, this thing is impossible to say, I have been out of that world for more than ten years, who knows how many things from that era will be remembered in the future? So Catherine used this notebook to record some important events or ideas that she still remembered or accidentally remembered.
But Catherine's memory in this life seems to be surprisingly good, and this notebook can be used very rarely.
Today is June 25th, and there are only a few days before the release.
The 30th is Friday, and the screening time is 7pm, the standard prime time. Although the term "summer file" has not been proposed in this era, it is generally accepted that the box office will be better during the summer vacation.
Catherine was staying at home at this time, and the psychologist was comforting her parents.
After learning that their daughter almost had an accident, Emma and Bruce always worried about their daughter’s psychological problems.
In fact, for Catherine, what happened that time seemed to be that she slept for a while, and then suddenly found herself back to New York from Philadelphia.
And things haven’t happened yet, Catherine’s psychological endurance could not be that weak. After all, she had already encountered things like rebirth and transformation.
The Edsons seemed to finally let go of their hearts.
Then, the psychiatrist got up and left.
But it didn't take long before the door of Catherine's house was knocked again.
It was Ada who came to Catherine's house.
"Kate, please forgive me, I really didn't know that Bittman was such a person..."
"It's okay, Ada."
She looked haggard a lot, and Catherine really felt heartache for her.
The two came to Catherine's room.
"Ada, how is your father now."
"I was taken away by the police. I might have a psychiatric appraisal, maybe an anterior lobectomy... At that time, everything will be fine."
Ada sighed.
"No! Never have that operation!"
Upon hearing this, Catherine jumped up immediately.
No one knows this terrible operation that turns people into idiots better than Catherine.
This kind of operation is purely a cruel operation based on extreme individualism, thereby depriving and oppressing others.
"But... father he..."
Ida doesn't know how to express her complicated feelings at this time.
She also knows that this operation has some side effects, but this operation is so popular nowadays. Many adolescents with irritable personalities and even children have undergone this operation. She thought she was unlikely to be an example.
In fact, this surgery can cure the disease, this is the case.
"Trust me, Ada."
Catherine hugged her.
"Ada... Have you ever been hugged by your father like this?"
Ida hesitated.
"I used to have it when I was young."
"My embrace, is it warm?"
"Ok…"
"I'm not talking about the surface, what I make you feel is my heart. Ada."
Catherine put her face on Ada's head.
Ada closed her eyes.
She seemed to feel Catherine's concern for herself and the power that could warm people's hearts.
She suddenly thought of her father.
He once hugged himself like this.
Catherine said while the iron was hot: "In fact, this operation is not as good as you think. The frontal lobe of the brain is the place to control people's emotions. The so-called resection is to remove the things that control people's emotions. There is no advanced mind control. In the center, it is naturally impossible for people to react much to the things around them. Such people will have no emotions in the future, and will only obey the instructions. They are no different from idiots in normal times."
"Oh, my God..." Ida didn't expect the so-called "cure" to be such a thing. UU reading www.uukanshu.com
"If...your father really becomes another person, is he still your father?"
Ada opened her mouth, but didn't speak.
But her eyes had already told Catherine the answer.
"I love my father very much. I have always wanted to go to Hollywood. Although this is my dream, at first I wanted to participate in acting. I wanted to share some burdens for the family... Our lives have always been very tight."
Americans all have an "American Dream", and Ida is no exception.
"Think about it, your father, he is thinking of you, he is protecting you..."
"But... he is now in jail and cannot be released on parole. They are arranging for a doctor to perform a psychiatric examination for my father, and he will probably be... and even if there is no problem, he is likely to be prosecuted..."
Ada was a little at a loss.
"Don't worry, Ada. Maybe... we should go to Jenny... Ada, you call Jenny, and I will also find a way for you."
Catherine asked Ada to call Jenny, while checking about how much money she could spend now.
The American police in this era are actually very good at talking, as long as you manage them well.
what?
lawyer?
It was after the 1980s. American lawyers are still good at this year, but if you go to find out how they can win the lawsuit, they will tell you, as long as you have enough money.
By the way, maybe I should go and see this Bittman who has no more eggs?
It is said that his crotch was subjected to ten consecutive powerful kicks of Mars...

New week, ask for tickets...
