Chapter 389: Caught in a Public Opinion Vortex

The noonday sun shone on his face, and Edward Harper finally woke up from sleep. Under Dr. Kang's hypnosis, he had slept relatively smoothly.

As he opened his eyes, his first reaction was to get dressed and make breakfast for his wife and kids. But sitting up and noticing his surroundings, he remembered that he was at Dr. Kang's house—he had sent Clara Knox and the kids away yesterday.

Edward paused for a moment and lay back down, his eyes fixed on the ceiling. Yet his mind wandered, wondering what Clara and the kids were doing now. It was probably lunchtime by this hour.

He wanted to check the time, but couldn't find his phone anywhere.

Dr. Kang heard the commotion and entered the room, holding the phone Edward had been searching for.

"Awake, are you? If you're awake, take this call. The whole world is looking for you."

As his words landed, the phone screen lit up with yet another incoming call.
