Chapter 32 Mental Health Check Up


    "I''m sorry, I didn''t realize this was your ce, I..."


    Finished


    Before she could finish, ke cut in. "It''s fine. I live alone, and the room''s empty. If you''re okay with it, you can stay as long as you need."


    He plucked a strawberry, removed the leaves, and offered it to Caroline. "Try one, it''s really


    sweet


    Caroline couldn''t help but feel a quiet sigh of admiration.


    If someone like ke, a stranger, could be so kind and thoughtful, he must be incredibly caring toward his sister, Ste.


    No wonder Ste always seemed so happy and full of life.


    Her life must be filled with happiness, which exined her optimistic and carefree nature.


    Caroline couldn''t help but feel envious of such a warm family.


    "Would you like me to feed you?" ke''s voice snapped her back to the present.


    As she saw the strawberry being held out to her, she quickly reached for it. "Thank you, I can manage on my own."


    It would feel awkward to let ke feed her strawberries.


    The strawberries were incredibly sweet, and Caroline reached for another, just about to take a bite when her phone suddenly rang.


    Noticing it was a call from Miguel, Caroline hesitated, neither answering nor ending the call.


    She silenced her phone and set it down on the coffee table, letting Miguel call back whenever he wanted.


    Noticing the dullness in Caroline''s eyes, ke made the connection to her visit earlier that day.


    He likely understood what was happening.


    "Did you fight with your family?"


    "Kind of," Caroline thought for a moment before asking, "Dr. Sherwood, I''m considering a mental health check-up. How much would that cost?"


    Compared to his other brothers, Miguel was rtively more sensible.


    Her recent actions had been quite different from usual, and only a psychiatric diagnosis would convince them she wasn''t unwell.

    ke furrowed his brows. "Why do you want to do that test?"


    Finished


    "My family thinks I might have a mental illness, so I wanted to get checked out to ease their worries, Caroline replied, her words a mix of truth and lies.


    She didn''t want to bring up the mess of people and situations back home.


    ke''s slightly furrowed brows eased. "You''re in luck-our hospital is offering a


    free mental health check-up event tomorrow. Why don''t youe with me in the morning?"


    Caroline''s eyes.


    lit up


    with a bright smile. "That''s amazing!"


    Atst, she didn''t have to stress about the money.


    As the night wore on, Caroline stopped the conversation and retreated to her room.


    Lying in bed, she couldn''t help but think that Helen might be suffering right now. A sense of satisfaction washed over her, almost like she had avenged the p she received.


    This time, the true culprit was that old hag at home.


    Caroline had given her a chance in the past, but since she hadn''t changed, it seemed she could not longer be allowed to stay.


    That night, Caroline tossed and turned in bed, unable to fall asleep until after midnight.


    The next morning, a knock on her door roused her from sleep.


    "Ms. Somerton, are you awake?"


    Caroline checked her phone and saw it was already 7:10.


    She had set her rm for 6:30, but it failed to go off.


    In a rush, she realized she had to move quickly, or she''d hold ke up from getting to work.


    She quickly dressed and opened the door, apologizing, "Sorry, I slept in."


    ke''s voice was soothing. "No problem, just go wash up first."


    By the time Caroline finished getting ready and stepped into the living room, she


    was surprised to see that ke had already made breakfast.


    Once they finished breakfast, they headed to the hospital together.


    ke escorted Caroline to the psychiatric department for her check-up.


    Caroline remained calm throughout the entire process, confident that she didn''t have any mental health concerns.


    When the check-up results were ready, she thanked ke and left the hospital.

    "Caroline, are you carrying your phone? I heard Helen took you took you to the psychiatric hospital-what''s going on?"


    *Caroline, it''s gettingte and Helen''s still not back. Her phone''s been off too- what happened?"


    There were too many messages, and Caroline didn''t feel like listening to the rest.


    Still, she could guess they were all saying more or less the same thing.


    Right as she switched off her phone, another call from Miguel came through.


    This time, Caroline answered.


    Miguel''s voice came through sharp and tense, with a hint of anger.


    "You finally picked up-where were you the whole night?"


    Then Liam''s voice jumped in, "Caroline, why is Helen the one at the ok you to the psychiatric hospital and not you? Get back here and exin yourself!"


    Caroline wasn''t the least bit surprised.


    Helen had been gone all night, so her brothers had started searching for her.


    Right now, she was probably back home, crying andining about everything that had happened.
