Chapter 1220: Chapter 1220 – Insomnia
Chapter 1220 Insomnia
Zhang Heng followed Songjia into Dr. Baker’s room.
Dr. Baker quickly looked around the room before closing the door.
Just as Songjia had said, the first floor was completely decorated by the clinic. There was a small reception area, an old sofa, and a television. The side was separated by a curtain. Behind the curtain, there should be a treatment room.
Such an arrangement would definitely not be reasonable elsewhere, because meeting with a psychiatrist was a very private matter, especially when receiving treatment, patients might need to confide some of the privacy that they had buried deep in their hearts, so they needed an undisturbed space to gain a sense of security. They could not be separated from the reception area by only a curtain.
However, because there were very few patients on the island, Dr. Baker would not let anyone else in after they agreed on a date, so it did not affect them much.
“Long time no see, Dr. Baker. You Don’t look too well. Are you sick?”Sonjia asked after she entered the room.
“I’m fine,”Dr. Baker answered hurriedly. He did not open the curtain to let Zhang Heng into the treatment room. Instead, he turned around and walked to a wardrobe. He opened the wooden door, and on it were all sorts of bottles and jars, apparently, he used it as a medicine cabinet.
Dr. Baker rummaged through it for a while and found a white medicine bottle. Zhang Heng’s eyes were sharp, and he saw the zopiclone printed on the bottle. This was a kind of sleeping pill, and it was also commonly used on the market, compared to the previous two generations, it was safer, and it was less tolerant and dependent.
Dr. Baker did not seem to want to help Zhang Heng at all. He just wanted to take some sleeping pills to get rid of the latter. However, when he opened the white bottle, he could not help but curse under his breath, then, he closed the bottle again and put it back on the shelf.

He moved very quickly, but he still could not escape Zhang Heng’s eyes. He asked, “Doctor, have you been suffering from insomnia recently?”
“Yes, I’ve been under a lot of pressure at work recently, so I’ll take some medicine before I go to bed,”Dr. Baker replied casually. However, even song Jia, who was standing beside him, could tell that he was lying, everyone on the island knew that Dr. Baker’s clinic hadn’t been doing well for a day or two. It had always been a dismal business at best, and there were very few things happening at school, so how could there be any pressure at work.
However, Song Jia did not expose him. She watched as Dr. Baker went to the fridge again, took out half a bottle of fudge, and stuffed it into Zhang Heng’s hands, “Melatonin should be able to improve your sleep. 100 crowns. Go back and eat for a while. If you can’t, come find me.”
Zhang Heng looked at the melatonin bottle in his hand, which was nearing its expiration date, but he did not rush to pay the bill. He said calmly, “What if I take it away?”
“Don’t worry about me. I’ll restock it.”Baker waved his hand, then stood where he was and glared at the two of them. He gave them an expression that said, “You can leave now.”.
This made song Jia, who had been emphasizing to Zhang Heng how hospitable the people on the island were, look very awkward. Especially since she had promised Zhang Heng that she might be able to have dinner at Dr. Baker’s house, however, the latter chased them away like flies. Song Jia Even suspected that Dr. Baker had guessed their true intentions.
Zhang Heng did not move. He simply placed the bottle of melatonin on the sofa and said, “This time, other than asking for your help, I actually have something else to do.”

“You’re one of them?!”
It was a simple question, but for some reason, Dr. Baker’s expression changed. He took half a step back, and his already pale face turned even paler.
Zhang Heng’s gaze wavered. He wanted to follow Dr. Baker’s words, but he did not expect songjia to ask, “What’s one of them?”
“Isn’t that right?”The light in Dr. Baker’s eyes dimmed slightly, but he maintained a vigilant posture. At the same time, he urged, “Take the medicine and leave. We have nothing to talk about.”
Song Jia was left with no choice but to look at Zhang Heng
However, to her surprise, Zhang Heng really did not say anything. He only gave Dr. Baker a deep look before turning around to walk to the door.
Just as he was about to step out of the room, Dr. Baker’s voice came from behind him. “Wait, you left something behind.”
As he spoke, he picked up the bottle of melatonin from the sofa and tossed it to Zhang Heng
The latter caught it, took out 100 kroner from his wallet, and placed it on the shoe rack.
Song Jia followed Zhang Heng back to the SUV, confused. She seemed to be wondering why Dr. Baker had become like this. After a moment, she came back to her senses and asked Zhang Heng, “Where are we going next, to look for the man in the second photo?”
“Don’t worry, anyway it’s time for dinner, so let’s eat first, then we’ll go to the hotel and check in.”Zhang Heng is a change of attitude, no longer anxious.
“Hey, don’t continue to investigate?”Song Jia Some Doubt Way.
On the way here, she had been worried that Zhang Heng would do something bad to Dr. Baker in order to investigate, however, after meeting Dr. Baker, she became even more curious than Zhang Heng about what had happened to him.
However, Zhang Heng said, “No, thank you for your help. Let’s call it a day. We’ll continue tomorrow.”
Then Zhang Heng pointed at the bar across the street. “Is there anything to eat there?”
“Yes, there’s beer, bread, fish, shrimp, and seal meat,”song Jia said, “But if you want to eat vegetables, you have to go to a restaurant. Most of the vegetables on the island are flown in from Denmark, so the price is…”
“It’s okay, just eat there. When in Rome, do as the Romans do. It’ll save you a lot of traveling, “Zhang Heng said. “Okay.”
Even though song Jia had a lot of questions, she still started the car and moved it to the front of the bar. When she left, she seemed to see Dr. Baker standing by the window again, silently watching them.
After that, song Jia opened her mouth several times during dinner. She wanted to continue asking the question that she did not ask before, but Zhang Heng changed the topic. In the end, the two of them finished their dinner in a somewhat depressing atmosphere.
“Are you used to it?”Song Jia asked after dinner.
“What?”Zhang Heng raised his eyebrows. “The food here is very different from your country, right?”Song Jia said. “Actually, there is a Hong Kong restaurant on the island. The fried rice there is very delicious. If you are not used to it, we can go there.”
“Oh, thank you. I’m already full. Pay the bill and go back.”Zhang Heng put down the knife and fork in his hand and wiped his mouth.
