Accidenttal One Night Stand with My Aloof Uncle-Chapter 629 - 639: Parting Ways, Each Finding Joy 9

"It’s just what?" Matthew Morgan frowned, pressing for more.

"It’s just that her mood doesn’t seem to be particularly good. Very suppressed. Has the patient shown any issues in her daily life?" the doctor further inquired.

Next to them, Jodie Cooper glanced at Matthew Morgan, thinking there was no way he could know.

Because recently, Matthew Morgan hadn’t been around Chloe Grant.

However...

Just as Jodie was about to explain, Matthew answered directly, "From the outside, she seemed to have nothing going on recently; she’s been working, eating, and interacting with people normally."

The doctor frowned immediately upon hearing this.

After a while, he spoke, "I have a colleague who once had a patient with depression who committed suicide.

Before the suicide, everything seemed normal: dining and chatting with family, traveling with coworkers and friends. Everyone was shocked and surprised at her death.

Because no one knew she had depression, nor did anyone think she would have it.

She seemed a very outgoing girl. It wasn’t until later when her family found her journal that they realized the pressure and pain she carried inside.

She was slightly overweight, deeply insecure, and still single at twenty-eight. Her family pressured her to find a partner, and her friends mocked her for her weight.

Although she pretended everything was fine, she was actually suppressing all the pain, using her own suffering as a joke among others."

The doctor said a lot, but his point was simple: some people always pretend everything is fine, but inside, they’re filled with sadness. When one day they can no longer bear the repressed sorrow, it erupts.

At that point, it can lead to a particularly horrifying outcome.

That’s why there are so many cases where people you thought had perfect lives suddenly commit suicide.

Or people who can’t see a way out and end their young lives.

No one knows how desolate their inner world truly is.

"So, does she have depression now?" Jodie was entirely shocked.

Beside her, Benjamin Grant was too stunned to speak.

They spent every day with Chloe Grant, yet they couldn’t see any issues.

"A more thorough examination by a psychologist is needed," the doctor indicated that he was not a specialist.

"This..."

Jodie was bewildered.

Matthew Morgan had already started taking action, "Okay, I understand, thank you."

He maintained a very calm demeanor the entire time.

He took out his phone and walked to the other side...

Jodie turned back, looking at Benjamin Grant, "Benjamin, we live with Chloe every day. She... seemed just fine... No, it’s my fault! I truly understood her, yet I didn’t notice her emotional changes.

This trip, you originally didn’t want to go because of Chloe, but I insisted on dragging you along.

If we hadn’t gone and stayed with Chloe, maybe she’d be a bit better?

It’s because I didn’t consider her emotions..."

Jodie was so anxious that she burst into tears, overwhelmed with guilt.

They lived together every day and were the best of friends, yet she completely missed Chloe Grant’s problem.

"Calm down!"

Benjamin frowned, holding Jodie’s shoulders, "It’s not your fault. She didn’t want us to see it. I also live with her every day, but I didn’t notice anything either."

"No! I’m the one who knows her best. When she was unhappy, I didn’t ask her. I should have found out and asked her, cared for her, talked her through it.

Instead of thinking she’d manage it on her own, it’s my, my..."

Before Jodie could finish, Benjamin pulled her into a hug, "It’s not your fault!"
