Scrambling to Be the Father of His Ex-Wife's Kid novel Chapter 240

Both of them would not have crossed paths with each other. Xander was younger than us as well, so they could not possibly be from the same university.

Before Xander was able to answer, Jerome came forward, tugged at me, and said, "We met each other b y chance when we were studying. Let's head for lunch. I'm starving."

It was obvious that he was trying to hide something. H e hung out with me all day when he was studying. I never saw him being close with someone outside of the university.

Although I was rather skeptical about it, it was his private matter, after all. It would be better for me not t o ask so many questions about it.

The four of us ate lunch together. Xander needed to leave earlier as he had something else to do. Cecilia said she was feeling uncomfortable, hence she went back home to sleep.

This left just me and Jerome. He looked at me and asked, “Shall we stay for a chat?"

I nodded my head.

"There’s a coffee shop opposite here. Let’s go there!"

Then, he stood up. I followed behind him.

We reached the coffee shop and ordered our drinks. I was holding onto the cup. I hesitated for a while, not knowing what I was supposed to say. Although Jerome was a doctor, he was a man, after all.

Jerome looked at me quietly. It took him some time to speak. "I'm your doctor. If it’s not easy for you to talk t o me about it, then it'll be pointless for you to continue consulting me about your illness.”

He was right. I mustered my courage and told him the reason for my change in attitude and demeanor.

While Jerome was working, he would put away his typical careless and casual attitude. He would quietly listen to me. He then spoke in a serious tone. "Indeed, it's caused by psychological barriers. This can’t be cured with medications. The only way is to undo the knot in your heart."

I knew that too. The problem was, how could I undo that knot? By removing that memory from my brain? I t was impossible.
