I Stopped Waiting and Started Loving novel Chapter 105

It took quite a while before Jasper replied.

[Ms. Hayes, that is not something you should be asking.]

Bonnie sighed in frustration, typing out a rapid explanation.

[I'm not trying to pry into his personal life, but his current issue isn't just about his eyes.]

[If I can't resolve his underlying metabolic issues and psychological defenses, I won't even be able to get close enough to administer his treatments. Please understand, Jasper. I need to know the truth so I can pinpoint the root cause of his condition.]

This time, the silence stretched on.

A full ten minutes passed before Jasper finally sent another message.

[The Boss dated someone back in college. But when she found out about his intermittent blindness, she broke up with him.]

Bonnie raised an eyebrow.

So that was it.

He had his heart broken, so he spent the last few years locking himself away, forcefully burying all of his natural physical desires along with his emotions?

No wonder he treated marriage as nothing more than a chore to appease his family.

But from a medical standpoint, his long-term celibacy was causing severe internal stagnation. It was severely compromising his physical health, and it was absolutely disastrous for his eyes.

To cure his vision, she first needed to untangle his psychological block and make him willing to seek a release.

But if a patient refused to cooperate, what was she supposed to do as a doctor? Force him into bed?

Bonnie massaged her temples, feeling a headache coming on.

She reluctantly opened her previous notebook, copied over his old records, and wrote down her new diagnosis and treatment plan.

[Patient suffers from emotional stagnation and prolonged celibacy, resulting in severe internal inflammation and heightened systemic pressure. The resulting neurological strain induces intermittent blindness.]

[Phase One Treatment Plan: The patient must be guided to find a physical release to lower internal pressure and relieve tension. This will stabilize his nervous system and restore circulation, paving the way for further holistic treatments.]

After finishing her notes, she closed the book and let out a silent sigh.

...

Before they knew it, June arrived.

The weather in Harlow City steadily grew warmer.

Over the following weeks, Bonnie didn't mention the incident again. Instead, she quietly observed Quentin's reactions.

In her spare time, she sewed several calming aromatherapy sachets and prepared large batches of custom herbal tea blends.
