Dr. Jung smiled. Of course, no sane person would believe what he had just said. Not right away. Especially not when it was being said by someone like him- a friend of their kidnapper. That label alone was enough to make every word sound like a manipulation.
But Dr. Jung had dealt with enough trauma victims to know how to get through to them. And just with this little incident, he had discovered a way to get to Melanie Collins.
So he softened his voice just enough to force her to listen. "And what if I were to tell you that she will do the same thing to your husband as well? That she might already have started to?"
He saw it immediately- the shift in her posture. Her breathing faltered for a fraction of a second. That caught her attention, exactly like he had expected. He did not wait for her to respond.
"She replaced you quite smoothly, didn't she? Don't you find that odd? I mean you were kidnapped and boom, she was Melanie. Do you really think that is a coincidence?"
