Chapter 985
As Ben heard the hurt in Chelsea’s voice, he gave in and held her in his arms.
“I know you’ve been hurting. You used to be a mighty goddess. You’ve never had to suffer like this before.”
Chelsea’s tears rolled down her cheeks.
It was only now that she realized that Ben was the man who loved her most in the world.
However, before she died, she wanted to hurt him one last time.
“I’ll marry you in the next life, Ben… Whether you feel like it or not, you have to say yes to me now. I’m about to die, after all. Please fulfill my final wish.”
“Alright. I’ll marry you in the next life.”
Back in Avonsvillle, Tammy called Avery to tell her that she had just met with her psychiatrist.
After Avery asked Tammy where she was, she immediately rushed over to see her.
The two sat in a restaurant for lunch.
“Why isn’t Jun eating with us? Does he feel uncomfortable that I’m around?” Avery asked.
“What’s there for him to feel uncomfortable about? Should he be here and third-wheel our conversation? I’m the one who told him not to bother us.”
Avery smiled and asked, “How do you feel after seeing the psychiatrist?”
“It’s complicated.” Tammy sighed. “I know everyone has their own share of painful experiences. It’s rare for someone to go through life living on this earth with no troubles.” “Would you like to see a different psychiatrist, then?” Avery had a feeling that Tammy’s mood had taken a turn for the worse
Tammy shook her head and said, “This one’s pretty good, She told me not to run away from the pain, but to face it and conquer it.” “It’s a process,” Avery said. “She told me something interesting,” Tammy said, suddenly laughing. “She said Elliot went to see her once, but never showed up again after just one appointment.”
“Why would she tell you that? Isn’t that doctor-patient confidentiality?” Avery asked in shock.
Tammy shook her head. “She didn’t reveal anything about Elliot’s treatment. She just said that he’d seen her once, then never met her again. She asked her friend to look into it ATN*V[ WM found out that Elliot was speaking ill of her behind her back.”
“What did Elliot say about her?” Avery asked nosily.
“Elliot complained to his friends and said that he was better off talking to a stray dog than a psychiatrist.”
Avery was speechless. “She only told me about this because she knows about my relationship with the two of you. I can’t believe that someone as powerful as Elliot Foster would go and see a psychiatrist,” Tammy exclaimed.
“He’s suffered through difficult times, too,” Avery said. “It’ll all pass, Tammy.”
“I know.”
That night, Elliot realized that he could not contact Ben. Ben did not answer the phone when Elliot called him once during the day. Elliot thought that Ben would return his call once he was available, but even when it was already dark outside, Ben had yet to return Elliot’s call. Elliot had an ominous premonition. Chelsea’s psyche was now distorted and Ben had gone to see her by himself. Could Chelsea have done something to hurt him? At this thought, Elliot’s brows furrowed and he dialed Ben’s number once again.
