The next day, Adina woke up very early. She looked out the window with a pair of soulless eyes.
She took a look at the time. The children should still be sleeping.
They would have arrived at their destination at midnight, so they would probably sleep until noon to heal their jetlag. They would likely call her when the time came.
While she counted the hours, Earl walked in.
He sat by the bed and softly said, âIn half an hour, a psychiatrist will come and talk to you. Donât push him away. He just wants to relieve your mental burden.â
Adinaâs eyelashes trembled before she chuckled in resignation.â I used to see many psychiatrists, but they ⦠Anyway, they canât cure my mental illness. Maybe Iâm too severely ill, or maybe theyâre not good enough.â
As they spoke, the attending physician walked in with a man in a suit.
âMr. Winters, this is Dr. Lewis, a famous psychiatrist in Sea City.â
Winters. Iâm a psychiatrist with professional integrity. This is the NDA for the treatment. Once we sign this document, no matter what secrets you tell me, they wonât a lot of conspiracies in big and rich families. Signing a document before treatment and signed it physician gave them a few words of advice, when Earl stood up to leave as well, Adina grabbed brushed across Earlâs looked at the psychiatrist.
said, âYouâre the one whom the madam trusts. Of course you she made Earl on a speaker that he had carried along and do your friends usually said, âAdina or now. You usually call me Lewis, and we go out partying Adina cooperatively said, âYouâre my friend, Lewis, and we always attend parties together. I trust you.â
âYes, we trust each other.â Dr. Lewis guided her patiently. âSo, can you tell me what nightmare you had last night?â
âI dreamed about my kidsâ¦â Adinaâs complexion suddenly turned pale, but she endured it and said, âTwo of my kids died right after they were born. Their bodies were full of blood. Their eyes were closed.
No matter how many times I called out to them, they didnât respond. My halfâsister suddenly showed up and carried my babies away. My babiesâ¦â
She suddenly buried her head in her knees and gradually lost control of her emotions.
Dr. Lewis softened his tone and comforted her. âLetâs not talk about that. Letâs talk about your kids.
What are their names? How old are they?â
Adina opened her eyes and suddenly became a little dazed.â Yes, where are my kids? Where are George and Harold? Duke, do you know where the kids are?â
She grabbed Earlâs shirt uncontrollably as if she had gone crazy.
Dr. Lewis immediately grabbed her arm. âAdina, calm down. The kids are alright. Theyâre fine.â
âLet go of me!â Adina swung the doctor away before she rushed into Earlâs arms and fearfully said, âDuke, take me to the kids. Are they missing? Iâm scared. Iâm so scared!â
