0 Hailey regained some consciousness after sleeping for about half an hour. She felt someone looking at her from her bed.

However, her eyelids were too heavy, and she couldn’t open them.

The person beside her was getting closer and closer to her. She could almost feel his hot breath on her face.

“The person wants to do something bad to me!‘ thought Hailey.

Hailey raised her hand in her sleep and slapped the person’s face.

The crisp sound woke her up immediately.

“Ra... Raphael!” She sat up and looked at the red palm print on Raphael’s face. She immediately felt embarrassed. “Um... I’m sorry. I thought it was a thief.”

Raphael sighed helplessly and raised his hand to touch his face. “Your sense of security is strong.”

Hailey smiled awkwardly. “I’m sorry. Well, I’ll get some ice to put on your face.”

She quickly got out of bed and rushed to the kitchen.

Raphael followed her out.

Hailey found ice from the freezer, then wrapped it in a towel and walked to Raphael.

Raphael’s skin was pale. After being slapped, the palm print on his face was obvious.

Hailey was instantly filled with guilt.

Raphael took the towel himself. “I brought you something to eat. I’ll take care of the swelling myself. Hurry up and eat dinner.”

Upon hearing that, Hailey felt even more guilty.

She quickly finished her dinner and walked to Raphael’s side. “How is it?”

“It’s okay,” said Raphael.

However, his gace was still swollen.

Hailey could not help but curse herself silently. ‘Why do I have such great strength in my hands?”

“Let me do it.” She stepped forward and pinched the towel, gently pressing it on Raphael’s face.

Hailey looked serious, and her delicate face was filled with seriousness.

Raphael tilted his head and looked at her. He could not help but raise his hand and gently pinch her wrist.

Hailey looked at him in confusion. “Did I hurt you?”

Raphael did not reply. He gently held her hand and pulled Hailey into his arms. His beautiful eyes met hers, and his other hand pressed on Hailey’s waist.

Their breaths gradually intertwined as they got closer and closer.

Just as they were about to bump into each other, Hailey suddenly struggled and got up from Raphael’s arms. She smiled 1/4 86%

Raphael looked at her. His eyes were dark, and he did not speak for a long time.

Hailey did not have the slightest bit of charm. There was only awkwardness.

Her smile was stiff, and the atmosphere was a little awkward.

After a long while, Raphael stood up and left her apartment with a hurt expression.

Watching Raphael leave, Hailey sighed deeply. She held her forehead helplessly and collapsed on the sofa. Her eyes were empty as she stared at the ceiling.

Hailey thought, ‘What on earth is going on? Why do I reject Raphael so much?

‘My father had told me before I lost my memory. I especially liked Raphael and wished I could be with him 24 hours a day. But how does it change now?

‘Could it be because... I had a car accident, and my heart had changed? Wouldn’t that make me the so–called heartless woman?‘

Hailey hugged the pillow and curled up on the sofa. She sighed weakly.

‘No, it has to be that I have an intimate disorder. I have to make an appointment with a psychiatrist. I must not be a heartless woman!‘ Hailey thought again.

The next day, Hailey made an appointment with a famous psychologist.

She did not tell anyone that she went alone.

It would more or less be a little embarrassing to say such a thing.

She made an appointment for three o’clock in the afternoon. She arrived at the consultation room at half past two.

The person who greeted her was the psychiatrist’s assistant. His name was Billy Fallon, and he was a middle–aged man with glasses.

“Please take a short rest. Dr. Hudson still has an important client ahead of you,” said Billy.

It was the first time Hailey had come for psychological counseling. She was more or less curious. “What’s the problem with the client ahead of me?”

Although Billy was a man, he was no less gossipy than a woman.

Billy adjusted His glasses and closed the door of the lounge. With a serious expression, he said, “Let me tell you, the client next door is a big shot. I heard he’s the president of Calhoun Group!”

“President?” Hailey raised her eyebrows slightly.

“That’s right. I heard he has a sleep disorder. He has been having trouble falling asleep for two years. The presidents nowadays are just too busy. He can just find a hypnotist. Why would he need to see a psychiatrist?” Billy felt it was a common problem among rich people. Neatness and insomnia. Anyway, the rich people, especially the presidents, had some problems more or less. He had already been accustomed to it.

“By the way, what are you here for?” asked Billy.

Hailey rubbed her head and did not say anything.

“Actually, I’m also very good. If you can’t wait, I can help you with psychological counseling.” After being an assistant for a 2/4 $ ་◌ཱ 86%

few years, Billy had never been able to become a qualified psychological consultant. Therefore, he was a little tempted when he saw a patient.

Hailey chuckled. It would be insane if she believed him.

After waiting for almost half an hour in boredom, there was a sound from the next door. It seemed someone had come out of the consultation room.

Hailey walked to the door curiously and looked out.

Unfortunately, she didn’t see anything.

There was an elevator between the consultation room next door and this consultation room. When the client came out from the next room, he did not come over at all and directly entered the elevator.

“Ma’am, you can go in now,” Billy said.”

Hailey nodded, opened the door, and walked inside the next door.

The psychiatrist’s name was Susie Hudson. She looked to be in her forties and was an amiable middle–aged woman.

She looks at Hailey as if she were looking at her daughter.

It was precisely because the psychiatrist was a woman that Hailey chose the place.

After all, she came alone and had to ensure her safety.

“Come, sit.” The doctor pointed to the leather sofa in front of her.

Hailey lay down.

The leather sofa was soft and comfortable to lie on.

“Miss Henderson, right? My name is Susie Hudson. Call me Dr. Hudson.” Susie was wearing a white coat and holding a pen. Her voice was gentle and powerful, making people feel especially at ease.

“Hello, Dr. Hudson,” said Hailey.

“Miss Henderson, what psychological flaws do you have?” asked Susie.

Hailey hesitated for a few seconds and said, “Emotionally.”

“You have a partner now?”

“I don’t think so. I can only say he’s my future marriage partner, but I haven’t decided if I want to marry him.” Although it was likely that they would get married...

“Then what’s the reason why you don’t want to marry him?” Susie hit the nail on the head. She hadn’t thought about it yet, which meant she still had her concerns. She just didn’t want to get married yet.

Hailey was silent for a few seconds before sitting up. “I might have an impediment to intimacy. I don’t want to be intimate with my partner at all. I’ll subconsciously resist when he kisses me, and I’ll even feel a little disgusted. The thought of living with him forever gives me a headache. I feel those days will be difficult. Do I have a psychological problem?”
