The Coldest Man in the Room Melted Only for Me novel Chapter 216

Seeing the utter breakdown in Jayden's eyes, Riley softened her voice. "I know you've been going through a lot too. But if even you give up on her, how is she supposed to claw her way out of the abyss all on her own?"

Jayden buried his face in his hands, weeping in sheer agony. "I don't know... I really don't know what to do anymore."

"Right now, what she needs most is your company. Even if she picks a fight, at least she's letting her emotions out. But because you hide from her, those feelings have nowhere to go. They fester and worsen her condition, leading to this overwhelming despair that drives her to suicide."

Jayden's shoulders shook as he sobbed quietly.

Riley knew he was in immense pain as well. "If you trust me, do exactly as I say. We will pull your wife out of the darkness together."

Jayden dropped his hands immediately, his tear-streaked eyes burning with desperate hope. "We can?"

"We can!"

He wiped his face haphazardly, his voice shaking with excitement. "Tell me what to do. I'll do anything. As long as she gets better, I will cooperate with you entirely."

"First, you can't run away anymore. You need to stay by her side and be patient."

Jayden nodded heavily. "Okay."

"Second, we need to find a way to get her out of the house. She needs to reconnect and experience the world again."

"I really don't know how to do that. She absolutely refuses to go out. Aside from coming to the hospital sometimes, she won't go anywhere. Do you have any ideas, Dr. Vance?"

"It's not about me giving you a trick to get her out. It's about letting her rediscover her own interpersonal skills. We need to reignite her internal drive and energy so she can actively face and resolve her own problems."

Jayden looked thoroughly confused. "So what exactly am I supposed to do?"
