After all these years, Theo had spoiled Cindy into a princess who lived a noble and proud life. At this moment, however, she completely abandoned her dignity, image, and limits... That made her look somewhat pitiful.
Love could make a person humble.
I sighed. I was the same in the past.
"You're awake?” There was suddenly the sound of a door opening behind me.
Startled, I turned around. Mason was clad in all-black attire, standing at the study while smiling at me.
“Shh, keep it down." I quickly ran over. "What are you doing here?” I was thinking of going to the hospital to meet him.
"Theo said he wanted to stay at home to take care of you, so he asked us to come over for a meeting." He shrugged.
"I happened to be looking for you. Let's talk inside." Afraid that Mason would find out that I was eavesdropping, I quickly entered the study first.
"What's up?" His tone was bland, his expression as usual.
"I need you to treat me." I sat on the sofa in the study, deliberating how to start the conversation.
Mason sat down across from me and gestured for me t o speak.
"I've been sleeping very poorly recently, which has led to a series of physical problems and poor mental health. I'm easily irritable, have extremely unstable emotions, lack appetite, and am fatigued."
He looked up at me with a complicated look in his eyes before reaching out to check my temperature.
After a very long time, he said, "You have a pale complexion. If your insomnia continues, it's going to trigger you into depression."
I knew very well about the things that would happen t o me if this continued. "Do you have drugs that can promote sleep? Can you prescribe some for me?"
"I do, but you're not allowed to take them because it'll affect the growth of the fetus." He rubbed his forehead and said after a very long time, "I'll prescribe you some medicine. However, drugs can only treat the symptoms but not the root of the problem. Emotions need to be self-regulated, so don't put too much pressure on yourself."
I nodded without a word. There were some things in life that I could not control.
