A Vengeful Girl novel Chapter 148

But John didn't seem to hear her. He kept standing at the door and looking down.

"It's OK. Come here and sit down!" Linda asked again.

John kept standing still. Linda then walked up to John and dragged him to the sofa.

"Take a rest now. Are you hungry? Bonny will bring us some food soon."

John didn't answer. But his stomach was grumbling. He blushed at once out of embarrassment. Linda couldn't help laughing.

Hearing Linda's laughter, John raised his face for the first time towards Linda. He was surprised by her beauty.

She was wearing a piece of pink knitted sweater, a pair of jeans and a pair of white sneakers. With her long hair piled up, Linda looked approachable and cute. John thought Linda was different from other teachers who always seemed to be serious.

"Are you new here?"

Linda was surprised that John was finally willing to talk to her. She nodded, " Yes. I am the new psychology teacher."

"OK."

John said indifferently. Then he looked down again.

"Can we talk? Just like friends. OK?" Linda said while moving a chair to the sofa and sitting down. She kept a sweet smile throughout.

Seeing Linda's smiling face, John finally put his defences down.

"All right. Ask whatever you want to ask!" Linda had already noticed John's eye bags. Apparently, John Lee was suffering from sleep problems.

"Do you sleep well? Do you always lose sleep or wake up in the midnight?"

John was astonished to hear Linda's questions. He was expecting Linda to ask why he tried to commit suicide or watched porn in class.

"Yes. I don't sleep well. I always wake up in the midnight and can't sleep afterwards." John answered.

"When do you go to bed normally?"

"At around two or three o'clock of the next day morning." John answered. He liked Linda, so he was quite cooperative.

Hearing John's answer, Linda was astounded:?Going to bed at two or three o'clock of the next day morning!

No wonder John was so thin.

"What do you like to eat?"

"Nothing special."

Linda asked some questions which were totally unrelated to John's suicide. John was confused, but he felt comfortable talking with Linda.

As a psychology teacher, Linda was clear that if she directly questioned him about his suicide or criticised?him for watching porn video in class, John would only become more stressful. She wanted him to relax and rest for a while.

The best way to guide John out of depression would be to help him maintain a good mood every?day rather digging out the truth
