Chapter 642 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, “In half an hour, a psychiatrist will come and talk to you. Don‘t push him away. He just wants to relieve your mental burden.”
Adina‘s eyelashes trembled before she chuckled in resignation.“ I used to see many psychiatrists, but they … Anyway, they can‘t cure my mental illness. Maybe I‘m too severely ill, or maybe they‘re not good enough.”
As they spoke, the attending physician walked in with a man in a
suit.
“Mr. Winters, this is Dr. Lewis, a famous psychiatrist in Sea City.”
Dr. Lewis pushed his glasses up the bridge of his nose as he walked over. “Hello, Mr. and Mrs. Winters. I‘m 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 won‘t follow me out the door.”
Psychiatrists were used to seeing a lot of conspiracies in big
and rich families. Signing a document before treatment allowed his patients to tell him everything that had happened in the past.
Adina looked down and signed it cooperatively.
After the attending physician gave them a few words of advice, he left the ward to them.
Right when Earl stood up to leave as well, Adina grabbed the hem of his shirt. “Don‘t leave. Keep me company.”
Her soft tone brushed across Earl‘s heart like a cat‘s claw.
“Madam, what do your friends usually call you?”
“Do you mind me calling you Adina ?” After Adina nodded, Dr. Lewis resumed. “Adina, I‘m your friend now. You usually call me Lewis, and we go out partying together on weekends with many friends. It‘s a fun time. Can you imagine that?”
