Scrambling to Be the Father of His Ex-Wife's Kid novel Chapter 245

Theo did not reply and only looked deeply at Jerome." Did you come back just for her?"

"Of course. The years of our friendship are not just for show. I may not be an expert in this area but I'm still pretty reputable in the mental health community." Jerome shone with confidence when he got to talk about his field of expertise.

"The elevator is here, let's continue this conversation another day. I'm really tired today." I smiled as I interrupted them, worried that as they continued their conversation, they would finally realize that they had been talking about entirely different things.

Jerome still wanted to talk but his phone rang. I took this opportunity to wave goodbye, grabbed Theo’s hand, and left.

"Remember what I said, find some time and go overseas. I'll arrange for you to meet experienced experts." Behind me, Jerome's voice rang out.

I pretended that I did not hear him and left in a hurry.

After we got in the car, I wanted to ask Theo about it but I did not know where to start. Hence, I chose to remain silent.

Theo turned and glanced at me. "It's too much hassle t

o go overseas, so don’t worry about that. We have reputable experts here as well. I've contacted those who’re in Whaldorf and I'll bring you there in a few days."

I looked at him and asked hesitantly, "How did you find out?"

"Mason had his suspicions and mentioned them to m e. He wasn't sure then, but after seeing how you stood i n the rain a few times and how easily depressed and agitated you get, he became sure about it. It's just that you didn't want to talk about it and I wasn't sure how t o bring it up."

Theo ignited the car engine and said to me gently," Don’t worry, this is a common illness nowadays. It can be cured easily."

I nodded my head faintly. He was right, depression was not a terminal illness but it was not an easy illness to cure. Jerome was right, I had to first have a positive mindset.

I looked at Theo and asked, "Can we visit Grandmother before you go with me to my yoga class?"

Theo was a little taken aback and joy flashed in his eyes as he answered, "Okay!”

We did not talk on the way home, and since it was boring, I fell asleep.

When we were home, Theo did not wake me up. He carried me up to the second floor right away so I could continue sleeping.
