NovelOnlineChapter 645
The air at night was filled with the smell of disinfectant, and it was pungent and unpleasant.
At 8:30 pm, Earl led Catherine in through the ward‘s door.
Adina‘s fingers, which were hidden underneath the blanket, curled up. She looked
indifferent as she said, “Ms. Catherine, / apologize for my reckless behavior. I hope you‘ll forgive me.”
Catherine pursed her red lips coldly.
All her life, she had never been slapped in the face.
If Earl had not called her personally, she would not have come to treat Adina.
She pursed her lips without answering, and Earl glanced at her menacingly.
Only then did she purse her lips and say, “That‘s in the past. I didn‘t mind it.”
She walked up to the bed and appeared to get to work. “Ms. Daugherty, can you describe your conditio
n to me?”
Adina lay in bed and remained silent.

around and said, “It‘s best not to have a third party present during psychotherapy. Please cooperate.”
Earl looked at Adina. It meant that he was asking Adina if she needed him to stay.
The situation angered Catherine further.
This man was always in dangerous
situations. He had been fearless, recalcitrant, and ruthless in everything he did. Had he ever asked oth
ers for permission?
Yet, he actually asked this woman for her opinion on such a small matter.
“Don‘t worry, I won‘t do anything to Ms. Daugherty,” Catherine said coldly. “I‘m here as a doctor
today, so I won‘t do anything that violates the medical code of conduct. Mr. Winters, please believe me.
”
Only then did Adina raise her head and say, “Duke, you can go out first. Come in after the treatment.”
Earl stood up with pursed lips and said, “Addy, just call me if anything happens.”
He turned around, walked out of the ward, and slowly closed the door.
Only the two women remained in the ward.
Catherine dragged a chair over and sat by the bed before she nonchalantly said, “Ms. Daugherty, pleas
e describe your condition.”
“Over the past four years, I‘ve had nightmares every day. I‘ve been dreaming that my kids will be snatc
hed away and killed.” Adina covered her
face and appeared to be in a lot of pain. “I’ve gone to many psychiatrists, and they all say
I‘m severely depressed and anxious. I‘ve also taken medication, but they can‘t cure me. Ms. Catherine,
please think of a way to help me
out of this nightmare.”
Catherine slowly fitted the role of a doctor, and her voice became softer. “Do you still remember
when you first had your nightmare and what happened that day?”
“It was the day I gave birth. I was locked up in the warehouse, and I was going into labor, but my family

gave birth to the kids alone in the warehouse, and I bled a lot.” Adina grabbed her
hair in distress. Then, she took a big breath. “So–
Sorry, I lost control over my emotions. I can‘t continue anymore. Can I have a cup of coffee before I res
ume?”
Catherine frowned.
She had met other patients who made different requests during treatment, so she
nodded indifferently. “Have it your way.”
Adina picked up the coffee
from the bedside table and chuckled in resignation. “It‘s a little cold. I‘ll ask Duke to buy another cup for
me.”
Catherine’s expression darkened again.
A man like Earl would actually buy coffee for Adina. It was truly hard to imagine.
