    When they got to the balcony, Sean didn’t say anything.


    Unable to stand it, Kirk asked, “What did you ask me out here to talk about?”


    Looking at Kirk, Sean burst intoughter, which only caused Kirk to look even grimmer.


    “Kirk, you should really look at yourself in the mirror right now.” Stillughing, he continued, The way


    you look now, not even Charles would be able to recognize you, even if he’s by your side


    all the time.”


    Kirk pressed his lips together and didn’t say anything. After a moment, he said, “I’m not in the


    mood to joke with you right now.”


    Leaning against the railing, Sean looked into the distance.


    “I know that. And I’m not joking with you. Ever since you found out the kind ofndmine your uncle left


    you before his death, you’ve been worried to bits. I can see all that. You might not admit


    it, but you can’t say it’s not true.”


    “What in the world are you trying to say?”


    Sean turned to look at Kirk. “Kirk, you’re exceptional at management. Plus, you’re so smart too.


    Are you sure you don’t know what I’m talking about?”


    By now, Kirk’s mouth was a thin line. After a long while, he spoke again, his tone much more


    somber, “I know. Right now, I need to be calm more than ever. You don’t know how worried I get.


    whenever I hear something strange when I’m lying beside Caroline.”


    He continued, “That’s how I know she’s having another nightmare. That feeling of helplessness… I


    used to think I could control everything until I met Carrie. That was when I learned I couldn’t control


    anything at all.”


    This fear of losing Caroline … It was something Kirk had never shared with anyone before. He could


    only talk about such things with Sean.


    Sean sighed. “Love is such a powerful and dangerous thing. Kirk, as your friend and someone who has


    troubles because of love, I can’t give you any suggestions. As a doctor, I have some advice.”


    He rified, “Michael Caldwell is the best psychiatrist. If he can’t cure Caroline’s condition, no one can.


    During treatment, the worst that could happen would be for any external influences to


    Kik’s gaze darkened After a while, his tightly clenched fists loosened.


    Seeing this, Sean patted his shoulder.

    Once Caroline epted that she needed treatment, Kirk helped her set up her first session.


    This first session was a simple one, involving some psychiatric assessments. There was no pain


    involved in any part of it. However, when she came out of the room, Caroline noticed Kirk’s back


    straining as he sat up straight, his hands covered in sweat.


    “You seem even more nervous than I am,” Caroline teased with a smile. However, she knew better


    than anyone that the pain would start when the treatment n was set. “Don’t worry. Look, aren’t


    I perfectly fine right now?”


    Kirk caressed Caroline’s hair. “Yes. Do you want to go to thepany or go home?”


    “Thepany.”

    After staying at home for so long, Caroline thought she’d better head to thepany for a change of


    scenery. Maybe then, she would have a change in mood, too.


    Although she was already being honest with Kirk, she still hadn’t gotten into the right emotional


    headspace.


    Now, she only had two choices. Either she would quietly ept treatment and take away the pain. that


    remained in her heart, or she would marry Eddy and no longer feel guilty about letting Jude


    down.


    However, Caroline would rather die than choose the second option. She didn’t want to give up her


    happiness because she felt bad about Jude.
