Chapter 1405

Darwin's medical records showed that his physical therapy, which had lasted for eight months, wrapped up on May 1st.

On April 30th, he finished his tenth hypnosis session since being admitted, and his records indicated a pause in treatment.

After Hubert checked on Darwin the night before, Darwin's medication was cut down to two-thirds of the daily dose.

Since then, Hubert barely left the research facility.

When he wasn't in the lab, he was watching Darwin's every move.

Half a month later, Darwin's medical records showed no visual or auditory hallucinations, good sleep, good diet, no limb issues, and stable mental health.

Hubert then cut Darwin's medication even more.

Another half month of observation went by.

The records still showed no hallucinations, good sleep and diet, more physical activity, and better mental health thanks to less suppressive meds.

Hubert had expected Darwin to have a rough patch and withdrawal symptoms after stopping physical therapy and cutting down on meds.

But aside from mild, manageable withdrawal symptoms, none of the bad stuff happened.

Hubert was super excited and happy.

Still, because Darwin had hidden his condition when he first got sick and was now eager to go home, Hubert stayed cautious and kept a close eye on him.

Most patients didn't realize it.

When they had symptoms like visual or auditory hallucinations, no matter how hard they tried to hide it, there'd be unconscious physical signs.

To Hubert's relief, he and the medical team hadn't seen any weird stuff during their long-term watch.

June rolled around.

Darwin's movements in the research facility were no longer restricted.

Hubert even let him leave the facility and take walks outside.

In new environments, Hubert kept watching Darwin's behavior. Darwin felt weird at first because he'd been isolated from the outside world for so long.

But soon, that weirdness went away.

Darwin even took Hubert to visit the Solomon Group's AI service center in Cyberia.

It had been almost nine months since Darwin last showed up in public, and rumors were flying within the Solomon Group's global branches.

Some said Darwin's body hadn't fully bounced back from his bad injuries, and after talking with his wife, they decided he'd handle internal stuff while she took care of external affairs.

Other rumors said Darwin's wife had a hidden agenda. After taking over the Solomon Group during Darwin's injury, she got a taste of power and didn't want to give it up, even if Darwin could lead again.

Some even claimed Darwin's long absence was because Fiona had him under house arrest.

So, Darwin's surprise appearance at the AI service center in Cyberia caused quite a stir within the Solomon Group's global network.

Those who had pledged loyalty to Fiona during the spring meetings in Armie were now confused and anxious.

Throughout June, Darwin's medical records were updated with detailed notes.

Hubert seemed to be writing a new paper every day.

When Fiona read the updates, she was puzzled by how Hubert could find so much stuff in just one day.

Despite the mostly good situation, a minor incident happened on the last day of June.

Late at night, Darwin was getting ready to sleep.

He heard footsteps in the room.

At first, he thought it was Hubert or the night-shift medical staff doing rounds, so he glanced over.
