Chapter 358
Fueled by a surge of adrenaline, Emma quickly made her way home with Eason in tow
Even after closing the door, she couldn’t shake off the surreal feeling.
She thought for a while, Was I really the one who just stood up for myself?
“Have I always had this fearlessness and this bravery within me?
*All these changes, I realize, are because of the man standing before me:
She stole a nce at Eason and instinctively lowered her gaze.
Facing Jeremy, she could muster up the courage to resist, but with Eason, she reverted to her timid
and introverted self.
“Thank… thank you for today,” she stammered nervously.
Looking at her, Eason said gently, “You were really brave just now.”
Emma’s head dipped even lower. “Was I too harsh? I… Im not usually like this.”
Eason couldn’t help but pat her head gently.
Emma looked up at him, a hint of grievance in her eyes.
“If a few harsh words from you are overdoing it, what does my direct intervention make me?” Eason
remarked
Stunned, Emma stared at him, and then, unexpectedly, she burst intoughter.
Seeing herugh, Eason couldn’t help but smile too.
The gloominess of the past few days seemed to dissipate with thatughter.
After a while, Emma whispered, “Eason, thank you for these past few days.”
She felt like her past self had been living in chaos
Now, provoked by Jeremy, she had snapped back to reality
The experiences of the past few days flooded her mind
She remembered Eason’s meticulous care, his asional sweet nothings, and the warmth of his
embrace
She felt her cheeks flush with warmth.
“Have you finallye around? Eason asked.
“I’ve never been as clear–headed as I am at this moment,” Emma replied.

She thought, In the past, it was as if a veil was clouding my vision, so everything seemed to be
shrouded in grey
‘But now, it’s like I was forcefully pulled out of hell
For the first time, I can see the world in its true colors.
‘It’s vibrant

And for all this, I have Eason to thank
She looked at him with gratitude. “Thank you so much. I’ve been a real inconvenience to you these
past few days, havent 17 But from now on, I’ll take care of myself”
She recalled how Eason had been juggling taking care of her and his overnight work obligations. It had
been a hectic time
for him
Now, freed from the burden of caring for her, he could finally return to his normal life.
As Emma voiced these thoughts, Eason felt an ufortable twinge in his heart
He wondered if she trying to push him away.

“Does she feel no attachment to me at all?‘ he thought.
But then again, his care for Emma had always been out of a sense of duty
Wasn’t it better for both of them if Emma didn’t have feelings for him?

why did he feel so irked about it?
Pushing these strange feelings aside, Eason replied calmly. “You do seem better, but we should wait
for Dr. Thompson’s assessment. I’ve already messaged her Ill stay with you until she arrives”
Emma hesitated. She knew Eason’s kind heart and guessed that he wouldn’t leave until he was sure
she was okay
So, she nodded in agreement.
Dr. Thompson arrived soon after.
She was amazed by Emma’s condition
For a patient with depression who had reached a near catatonic stage, the odds of improvement were
slim
Yet, in just one night, she was talking and even showing expressions. What significant progress!
Dr. Thompson, intrigued by the changes in Emma, eagerly took her aside for a private conversation
Under Dr. Thompson’s guidance, Emma shared everything that had happened that day
Dr. Thompson listened intently, asionally jotting down some notes

“Dr., I… I feel really good now,” Emma said nervously. “Am I better?”
Dr. Thompson shook her head. “It’s not that simple.”
She handed Emma a questionnaire with 20 questions to assess her mental state.
Emma filled it out carefully.
After evaluating Emma’s answers and considering her behavior during their talk, Dr. Thompson
reached an astonishing
conclusion.
Although Emma was still far from being in a normal state,pared to other depression patients, she
had made a huge leap forward, and in the right direction.
“Dr. Thompson?” Emma looked at her expectantly.
Dr. Thompson returned to the present moment with a smile, assuring her, “You’ve made remarkable
progress. But it’s not time to stop taking your medicine just yet. I’m going to prescribe some new ones
for you. Make sure you take them as directed. I’ll check back in a week to see how you’re doing.”
“Alright.” Emma sighed with relief, a hint of joy flickering in her eyes.
1 really am getting better,’ she thought happily.
Watching her like this, Dr. Thompson couldn’t help but smile and say, “It seems that the power of love is
indeed tremendous.”
Emma wondered, ‘The power of love?
She blushed slightly, stammering, “No… don’t joke around, Dr. Thompson.”
Dr. Thompson looked at her, surprised. “What? Even now, you haven’t epted him?”
Emma looked down, her voice tinged with uncertainty. “I just can’t do that to him,” she confessed. “You
don’t understand. He’s such a good guy, someone who deserves much better than me.”
“Emma, you’re truly remarkable,” Dr. Thompson said with kindness. “You were incredibly resourceful
even during your toughest times. Now, as you’re getting better, the sky’s the limit for what you can
achieve and who you can be. Remember, being worthy of someone isn’t about deserving them.
Eason was there for you in your darkest hour. As you’re healing, there’s no reason for him to turn away
now. You know, he’s alreadye a long way for you. Maybe it’s time for you to make your move
toward him.”
“Is that really true?‘ Emma thought
She looked up at Dr. Thompson, somewhat dazed.
Dr. Thompson smiled but didn’t continue the topic. She said softly, “Alright, I’ll leave now. See you
As soon as the doctor left the room, Eason stood up.

Dr. Thompson winked at him and encouraged him. “Go for it.”
Then she left.
Then only Eason and Emma were left in the room.
The two of them kept silent for a long time.
Finally, Eason broke the silence, asking, “What did Dr. Thompson say?”
Emma responded with a slight nod, “I’m doing much better now. She advised me to continue taking the
medicine and scheduled a follow–up appointment for next week”
Emma was really getting better.
Eason felt happy for her, yet there was a hint of mncholy in his heart.

He thought to himself, ‘If it hadn’t been for such extreme circumstances, Emma and I wouldn’t have
had such inseparable moments.
“Now that she no longer needs my care, are we going to return to being distant like before?
Emma looked up and confidently said, “I’ve got this under control now. You can go ahead and do your
own thing.”
Eason opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but in the end, he didn’t speak.
After a while, he softly agreed. “Alright. Take good care of yourself.”
Then he left.
Emma watched his retreating figure, finding herself lost in thought for a long time.
She pondered, ‘Maybe what Dr. Thompson said was right.
‘The things Eason has done for me are already more than enough.
‘Perhaps, it’s time for me to muster up the courage and take that step forward.”
