Chapter 552 Madison's gaze slowly met Cynthia's . She said , " But the open grounds outside belong to the patients . Since you think you can blend in , do you see yourself as one of them ? " Cynthia stumbled back a step . She thought that this woman was terrifying ! She was trying to make her admit she was mentally ill ! Cynthia's gaze hardened . " You monster . You'll get what's coming . How many innocent people have you trapped here forever ? You've thrown away any shred of humanity just for money ! " As she said that , her anger surged.

There was nothing in the room she could use as a weapon , so Cynthia lunged at Madison's hair instead . This malicious doctor ! Suddenly , the air went still . Cynthia froze , staring at the wig in her hands . Madison touched her buzz cut . " Gosh . Must you do this ? " Cynthia's face flushed . " Y - You're ... " Madison snatched the wig and shoved it back onto her head . " Come on . I've been a psychiatrist for over 20 years , and you've only been a patient for a few minutes . " Her decades of experience had taught her how to handle even the most dangerous patients .

She could even write a book about it . Madison stepped out . " Just stay here . But since you're new here , I'll take you to other rooms and let you watch some TV tomorrow . " The door clicked shut and locked . Greta patted her chest . " Dr. Morrow , even though I've seen you get your hair pulled countless times , I still can't help being scared . " " Why ? " " What if they actually pulled your scalp off ... " Madison stared at her like she was a fool . " If anyone could rip my scalp off with their bare hands , they wouldn't be here .

Madison said to Greta , " You know , sometimes I actually feel sorry for them . With their patience and perseverance , they could excel in any field . A genius really is impressive , no matter the industry . " After saying that , she bent down and reached out , grabbing a head . A patient was doing sit - ups on the floor by the doorway of the room . Her hand slipped , and she nearly missed his head , which almost hit the ground . The patient froze , then looked up . Madison smiled . " Look at them . Everyone here is striving to be the sickest patient !
