"Depressed?" Leia''s heart pounded when she heard that. She felt that it was impossible for her best


    friend to be depressed. Renee had experienced many misfortunes in the past like her family''s


    bankruptcy, the death of her parents, and her difficult marriage with Stefan, but she had soldiered


    through it all. It made Leia wonder why Renee was suffering from depression when everything was


    taking a turn for the better.


    "Are you sure?" Leia stole a nce at Renee and pulled the doctor to a more isted corner. "She''s


    the most headstrong and optimistic person I''ve ever met. How could she be depressed?" "You don''t


    understand... Depression is pathological—it doesn''t matter if the person is strong or optimistic. Some


    people might look happy, but could be suffering from severe depression. It''s like an apple that looks


    beautiful on the outside, but has already started to rot from its core. If we don''t cure her in time, the


    consequences will be unimaginable." A long sigh escaped the doctor as he threw apassionate


    nce at Renee. His medical knowledge told him that Renee''s body was fine, and she’d be back to


    normal after rest... but they needed to be careful of her mental state and emotions.


    There''s a psychology department in this hospital, and many young people see the doctor there every


    year. Some of them get better... and some of them try to jump off buildings if they don''t. If you care


    about her, you''d better take her to see the psychologist soon." After that, the doctor returned to the


    ward and told Renee how to take care of her eyes. Then, he exited the ward.


    Renee had finally calmed down, and sat alone by the window, staring at the scenery outside. She


    remained quiet and emotionless for a long time.

    "Ren..." Leia walked over to Renee. She had so many questions to ask her, like why she didn''t contact


    Leia, and why she didn''t go home. Did she not realize that they would worry about her? She had been


    wanting to ask Renee all those questions, but they all disappeared the moment she saw her. Though


    Leia was upset, she figured that Renee had to have a reason for not contacting them.


    "What did you say to that doctor?" Renee turned around and looked at Leia sharply. Her gaze wasn''t as


    gentle and loving as before. On the contrary, she wore an oddly distant expression.


    Her gaze frightened Leia, and she felt like she was staring at a stranger." No, it was nothing," Leia


    carefully exined, "The doctor and I are very worried about you, so we were just discussing your


    condition. The doctor said that you-" "There''s no need forthat!" Renee interrupted Leia. "I''m fine.


    There''s nothing to worry about. That doctor works for Briar, so don''t listen to him. I''m not a monster."
