Substitute Marriage With the Illegitimate Son novel Chapter 707

"Janet! You bloody bitch! I'll drag you down to the depths of hell with me!"

Like a ferocious apparition, Charis stretched out her hands and grasped Janet's neck with hatred and the clear intention of throttling her.

Janet struggled desperately against the attack. Just when she felt like she could no longer breath at all and was about to pass out, Charis suddenly disappeared.

Janet opened her eyes and woke up in a state of completely frantic fright. She was drenched from head to toe in perspiration. She touched her neck and gasped for breath.

It turned out to be a nightmare.

Janet lay back on the bed, exhausted from the struggle in the dream, which had felt so real.

She couldn't remember how many nightmares she had during this period of time.

"Did you have a nightmare again?" Brandon opened the door and walked into the bedroom. When he heard the commotion, he immediately came to inspect what had happened.

"I'm fine," Janet said with a forced smile.

"Things can't go on like this. I have arranged for you to see a psychologist," he said. Brandon made his way over to her bed and sat down. He moved her wet bangs aside to touch her forehead to check her temperature.

His eyes were full of tender compassion. "You have to see her," he added imploringly.

These days, Janet didn't go to work at W Marks. She had taken annual leave and planned to take a good rest.

Since Charis died, Janet had been tortured by nightmares every night, without fail. The unrecognizable face of Charis in the heavy snow always flashed before her mind's eye, tormenting her.

"Alright, I will go see her." Janet smiled wearily. She had never in her life felt as helpless as she did now.

Brandon held her in his arms. He put his forehead against hers and whispered, "Listen, it's not your fault."

Charis had been the person who had orchestrated harm to come to Janet for a long time. In the end, she fell to her miserable death from the twentieth floor in front of Janet's very eyes. He was worried that witnessing such a traumatizing incident would cause psychological problems for Janet.

That afternoon, Janet had an appointment with the psychologist.

"Just treat me as a friend. Don't be nervous." The psychologist was highly amicable in nature.

After chatting with Janet for a while, she figured out the source of those frequent nightmares. She also knew that part of Janet's psychological pressure was actually from Brandon.

"How is Mr. Larson now?" After careful consideration, the psychologist said gently, "If his condition hasn't been alleviated, I suggest that both of you have treatment together."
