Please Let Me Go

Chapter 132 It Was Difficult to Undo the Knot in Her Mind

"Don't know what to say now? Antonio, don't be naive. We can no longer be like before when we lost

our child!" She pushed him away and left without giving him a glance.

Antonio stood there. Unwilling to give up, he said, "But we can have another child! As long as you

want, we can have many children!"

Adelaide went downstairs without turning around. She had heard what he said. But something did

happen and something was indeed lost. However hard people tried to cover and ignore it, they couldn't

take it as if it wasn't there.

Obviously, Antonio didn't understood it, Adelaide thought sadly, she wasn't a self-pitying person, but

she couldn't be as calm as Antonio, smiling while saying something like having another baby in the

future.

Coming to the street, there was a grunting voice from her stomach. Having quarreled with Antonio, she

naturally forgot about eating breakfast. There were many small vendors on both sides of the street.

When she fingered her pocket, she found that she didn't take either any money or her smartphone!

By the way, she opened the door just when she was hungry and wanted to have breakfast.

Adelaide sighed in her heart, wondering if they would give her food when she had no money and

smiled at them. She wandered around the streets in a desultory fashion, wondering if she should come

to her friend and had breakfast with her. Obviously she was not good at asking for help.

Suddenly, a car blocked her way. Adelaide gave it a puzzled glance, "Doctor Calvin?"

The driver poked his head out from the window with a nice smile, asking, "Mrs. Baron, where are you

going?" He was her psychiatrist, Calvin. They were not very familiar with each other, but they had a lot

to talk about.

She didn't know where to go, either. She remembered that Calvin always said that doctors were busy. It

was difficult to imagine that such a gentle person with a faint smile on his face was always thinking

about time and money.

Remembering funny things between them, she dissolved into laughter. She shook her head, smiled

and answered, "I'm just walking around. You can go if you are busy."

Calvin opened the door of the passenger seat and motioned her to sit in. When Adelaide was still

hesitant, he said again, "Be quick if you don't want me to be fined by the policeman."

People always tended to follow his words. When she recovered to herself she had sat in the car. He put

a CD in the drive without the intention to ask for her advice and played a slow song.

It was scary to stay with him for a long time. When he played music and there were just two of them,

Adelaide had the strong feeling to unburden herself to him. Therefore, she turned off the music

hurriedly.

The music suddenly stopped. Calvin gave her a suspicious glance and asked incomprehensibly, "Why?

Don't you like it?"

Adelaide shook her head again and explained truthfully, "No, I felt like complaining to you when I

listened to your music."

Hearing this, Calvin gave her a glance amusedly. She wore no makeup and for most times she met

Calvin without wearing makeup. She wore a loose pajamas with her hair tied to be a ponynail at the

back of her head in a casual way. Although she came outside, she wore slippers. It seemed that she

was still not well, "Were you not well recently?"

People with mild depression are not in serious condition. They just don't to other people and prefer to

stay in their own space. However, many people suffering from major depressive disorder would commit

suicide. Calvin had seen many patients himself. Some of them were disappointed in a love affair; some

became rich overnight; some went bankrupt; some were hard hit like Adelaide did; and some were

under the pressure of the words of their friends and colleagues. In short, few made it through and many

of them took their lives.

It was as important as the psychosis which people used to curse others. For patients with depression, a

small thing could be magnified ten or even a hundred times in their hearts, finally breaking the patients'

last string.

Adelaide neither answered his question nor retorted what he said. Obviously, she was not well recently.

At this moment, a strange sound broke the silence between them. Adelaide blushed. Last night, she

ate little food in the party. In the morning, she wanted to have some breakfast, but quarreled with

Antonio in the end.

Calvin coughed slightly to break the embarrassment. He took one hand off the steering wheel and

pointed to a restaurant not far away, "It just happened that I didn't have breakfast. If you don't mind,

what about having breakfast with me?"

His gentle voice had an irresistible magnetic force and Adelaide was indeed hungry, so she didn't

pretend to be hesitant and nodded, agreeing to his advice.

This was a restaurant that served both Chinese food and western food with many kinds of breakfast.

She ordered a Congee with Minced Pork and Preserved Egg and then walked behind him. Calvin as a

psychiatrist was very good at observation. He ordered many dishes and then talked to Adelaide with a

smile, "It is important to have enough breakfast. I'm lean, but I can eat a lot."

While saying this, he patted his chest and pretended to be a coming gorilla, successfully making

Adelaide laugh. Seeing that she finally smiled and was no longer gloomy, Calvin had a sense of

accomplishment, "That's right. You are so beautiful and you really should smile more."

They chose a table and sat down while talking to each other. Calvin pulled out the chair for her

considerately. She was much flattered. Antonio had never done this and he would never do it.

She blushed and lowered her face. She was still not good at responding to compliments. Calvin didn't

say anything more, either. Soon, the dishes they order were served. After checking the bills, the

waitress put it on the table and left.

With the sumptuous food on the table, still, she had no appetite. She had been hungry, but now she

didn't feel hungry. She picked up the Congee and filled a spoonful of Congee, feeling sad.

Calvin acted as if he had known some great secrets. He approached her mysteriously but kept proper

distance from her, asking in low voice, "Do you know what that waitress's constellation was?"

Adelaide grew interested in this question because of his expression and shook her head with curiosity,

"Can you know that with just one glance?"

He raised his head triumphantly and seemed to be very confident. Adelaide became more curious and

asked, "You know her constellation? Tell me!"

Calvin pretended to touch the non-existent beard, pretended to be inscrutable and imitated the seniors

on TV to wave his hand and shake his head, "I can't tell you that."

She didn't know what he was doing and doubted what he said. After all, he was a psychiatrist instead

of a fortune teller. Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

Calvin asked her to finish the food on the table mysteriously and after that she would naturally know the

constellation of that waitress.

Adelaide gave him several suspicious glances, not believing what he said.
