Chapter 487: Chapter 487: He Is a Dangerous Time Bomb

"Yolanda, you don’t have to feel indebted to me in any way," Cooper Coldson smiled wryly, "Everything I’m doing now is what I should be doing, and... I hope that one day, when you regain your memory, you won’t hate me so much."

Yolanda Greenwood shook her head, "It’s all in the past. I believe that even if I regain my memory, those things will have long been distant."

"I hope so!" Cooper Coldson pulled the corners of his mouth, "So what... do you plan to do?"

"I want to help Adam Sterling." Yolanda Greenwood stated firmly, "I’ve already contacted Adam’s former teacher, and I believe we will find a way."

She was so determined because she knew that she did not love Adam Sterling and never would.

Love is really a strange thing; if you don’t love someone, no amount of effort will change that. She only wanted to help Adam Sterling through this difficult time, as a repayment for the three years he had given her.

Cooper Coldson was stunned for a moment, then he nodded, feeling heartache that nearly suffocated him.

In his view, Yolanda Greenwood had ultimately chosen Adam Sterling, while he... had been out of the picture since three years ago.

"Alright, if you need any help from me, just let me know." He maintained his last shred of dignity, unwilling to appear too defeated.

"I still need you to take care of Adrian Sterling for a few days," Yolanda Greenwood said with even more concern, "Most importantly, Ella; until Adam Sterling recovers, Ella needs to stay with you."

"Okay. Don’t worry, having Ella stay with me is something I’d be more than happy to do." Cooper Coldson self-deprecatingly curled the corners of his mouth.

Yolanda Greenwood checked the time; it was time to pick someone up, so she stood up and said, "Let’s leave it at this for now. I need to go to the airport to pick up Professor Seward."

"I’ll take you there," Cooper Coldson also stood up.

Yolanda Greenwood smiled, "Is President Coldson so free? No need, I can go by myself. I’ll call you if I need anything."

"Alright." Cooper Coldson watched Yolanda Greenwood leave, then collapsed back into his seat, feeling drained.

He thought that when Adam Sterling truly recovered, Yolanda Greenwood and Adam Sterling would probably get married and become a real couple.

And what about him?

His head throbbed painfully; he sensed he was heading towards a dead end.

After Yolanda Greenwood arrived at the airport, she quickly picked up Serena Seward.

"Professor Seward, thank you for making the trip," Yolanda Greenwood said, full of gratitude, "I really appreciate it."

"Don’t mention it. Adam Sterling was my most outstanding pupil and my favorite student," Serena Seward sighed softly, "When I first heard he had been expelled, I was really worried, but I didn’t expect..."

"Professor Seward, let’s talk as we walk." Yolanda Greenwood offered to take Serena Seward’s luggage.

"Okay." Serena Seward’s expression was serious, clearly taking this matter to heart.

Once in the car, Yolanda Greenwood tentatively asked, "Professor Seward, when you attended the opening of the psychological clinic, did you already suspect something when you left your business card with me?"

Serena Seward did not answer immediately.

"Professor Seward, I heard that psychological doctors like Adam Sterling should have undergone similar psychological assessments before entering the military..." Yolanda Greenwood saw Serena Seward nod, then continued, "So, there was nothing wrong with his psychological assessment at that time?"

Afraid of being too presumptuous, she added, "Can Professor Seward get in touch with those who were responsible for Adam Sterling’s psychological assessment back then?"

"It was me!" Serena Seward smiled bitterly.

Yolanda Greenwood was slightly taken aback; Serena Seward was a renowned psychological expert inside and outside the country. If she had conducted the assessment, it was unlikely she would have missed any issues.

"So..." Yolanda Greenwood was a bit confused. If Serena Seward had found any issues back then, how did Adam Sterling pass the assessment?

Serena Seward sighed softly, "What if I told you that Adam Sterling passed the assessment smoothly back then?"

Yolanda Greenwood frowned, "He passed? Was there nothing peculiar at all? Not even something you could detect?"

"I did find it a bit strange back then," Serena Seward looked at Yolanda Greenwood, "You can’t imagine, Adam Sterling scored ninety-eight on his psychological assessment, with a perfect score being one hundred..."

She slightly curled her mouth and added, "And back then, I scored ninety-five."

"Ah?" Yolanda Greenwood was stunned; she hadn’t expected Adam Sterling not only to pass the assessment but also with such high scores. How could it be?

Seeing her confusion, Serena Seward continued, "In fact, given the circumstances at the time, I provided the committee with two possible results."

Yolanda Greenwood listened intently.

"The first possibility is exactly what the psychological assessment results indicated; Adam Sterling was a genius in this field. We had genuinely struck gold."

Serena Seward paused before continuing, "The second possibility was that the assessment was invalid; Adam Sterling’s psychological defenses were too strong for the test to be effective. Of course, this also meant he was a genius, but it also made him a ticking time bomb, very dangerous."

Yolanda Greenwood nodded with understanding, "And what happened afterward? Did the committee accept the first possibility?"

"Naturally, our country didn’t want to miss out on such talent," Serena Seward gestured with three fingers, "We conducted three assessments on Adam Sterling, and the results were similar each time, so we let him pass. However, they also instructed me to keep a close eye on Adam Sterling and to take immediate action if any issues arose."

"I see." Yolanda Greenwood curiously asked, "So during his years of service, no issues arose?"

"No, he performed almost perfectly." At this point, Serena Seward appeared quite proud, "Actually, in recent years, I haven’t been overseeing him much. But I didn’t expect..."

She sighed deeply, "When I heard about his father causing a scene at the base and him getting expelled, I already had a bad feeling. But at that time, I was abroad, handling a major case and truly had no time to spare. After returning to China and hearing about his opening a psychology clinic, I rushed over."

"Professor Seward, you’re indeed a great teacher. However, there’s still something I don’t understand," Yolanda Greenwood thought of the information Cooper Coldson had found, "What did he say about his parents back then?"

Serena Seward carefully recalled, "I don’t remember much. We must have done relevant investigations back then; there should have been no issues."

She curiously looked at Yolanda Greenwood, "Why are you asking about his parents?"

After getting out of the car and returning home, Yolanda Greenwood relayed all the relevant information to Serena Seward in detail.

Serena Seward remained unsettled for a long time. If Adam Sterling grew up in such an environment, how could he really be okay?

Clearly, they had indeed been mistaken; Adam Sterling belonged to the second possibility. Could she help him?

"Professor Seward," Yolanda Greenwood poured some tea, "Please stay here for a few days. I’ve already spoken to Adam Sterling; he should be at the psychology clinic now. Have a talk with him when he comes back tonight."

Serena Seward nodded, "I really hope I can help him!"

Over the years, Adam Sterling had probably become even more formidable than when he had just graduated, and she, as his teacher... could only give it her best shot.
