Chapter 644: 644: Cannot Accept the Facts
He Clings to Me Every Night
Martin Wallace remembered Professor Winnieâs advice clearly.
After leaving Serene City Medical College, Martin Wallace immediately went to RenewalCare Hospital to look for Daniel Marshall.
âDaniel, please fill out this form truthfully. After youâve completed it, I have something important to discuss with you.â
Daniel gave the form a cursory glance, then furrowed his eyebrows and shot a cold, penetrating gaze at Martin, âWhy do I have to fill out this form? Who gave it to you?â
Martin Wallace looked earnestly at Daniel, âIâve just consulted with a psychology expert, this form is from him. I have no ill intentions, nor am I just making things difficult. I only hope that youâll fill out this form truthfully, so that we can identify the source of your problem, clear up the misunderstandings between you and Olivia Jenkins, and untangle your emotional knots.â
Emotions flashed within Danielâs eyes.
These emotions were mingled with shock, anger, and a hint of resentment.
Danielâs voice was hoarse and chilly, âDo you take me for a mental patient?â
âThatâs not what I mean. Iâm thinking about both you and Olivia. Olivia told me that you might be suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder, thatâs why I consulted with a psychology expert recommended by Olivia.
Daniel, after you fill out this form truthfully, the psychology expert can assess your situation then. You canât escape from this. Please ask yourself, can you truly forget about Charmy Bennettâs death? Can you truly forget about your child? What are your feelings when you face Olivia?
You must show Olivia hope, so she will have the confidence to move forward with you. Otherwise, what can she do? She wants to separate, but you disagree. Surely, you cannot make either of you feel like you three are living together, which is not fair to her.
Olivia is selfish, but arenât you selfish too? If you still want to continue being a husband, you should think about it.â
Daniel was silent, a ripple crossed his ink-black eyes.
Unintentionally, the words Olivia had angrily yelled at him surfaced in his mind.
She said, he was ill, mentally ill!
Was he really ill?
Why didnât Olivia tell him directly, but told Martin instead?
All of a sudden, a sharp coldness flashed across Danielâs aloof and handsome face.
His hand instinctively clenched, the knuckles whitening slightly.
Martin also felt a surge of displeasure, but he suppressed it and continued to patiently persuade Daniel.
It might be hard to take a step forward, but it had to be done.
âThe psychologist said, one canât recover just by undergoing treatment alone. It requires the support and company of important people around them, making collective efforts. Therefore, this doesnât concern just you but also involves Olivia.
If you decide to see a psychologist, I will convince Olivia to accompany you for the treatment. Consider it as giving everyone an opportunity. The psychologist mentioned that once a problem is identified, itâs important to seek treatment early. Olivia is a doctor, she is knowledgeable in this aspect. If she didnât talk about it straightforwardly with you, it should be because she knew you couldnât accept the reality.â
ââ¦â
After a brief pause, Martin broke the silence,âIâve recorded the psychologistâs words, you should listen to them. Initially, I also thought that Olivia was spouting nonsense just to separate. However, after talking to the psychologist, I realised that Olivia wasnât wrong.â
ââ¦â
âWe all thought that you were fine, that you could forget Charmy Bennett. Yet this past year since your marriage, I vaguely sensed that most of your conflict with Olivia arises from Charmy.â
ââ¦â
âI donât know if she still occupies your mind? Can you not forget about her?â
ââ¦â
Martinâs hawk-like eyes were fixed steadily on Daniel.
Seeing Daniel remaining silent, he pressed the play button on the recorder and stopped talking.
