Chapter 1256 Past Misunderstandings
“And in terms of pathology, a person’s mental health directly affects their body. Cells also need to be activated by a positive mood,” Wynter said as she continued to massage Reuben,
invigorating his blood and energy.
This was the first time Reuben had heard such a notion. Activating cells and such certainly sounded like something only young people would say.
“Young lady, you have keen observations. This seems to be
beyond the realm of a doctor.”
Reuben would have been wary if it were anyone else probing into the Whitman family’s privacy.
But Wynter was different. He had witnessed her quietly saving many lives while setting her school bag aside. She had already disappeared when he tried to find her.
Hence, Reuben had complete faith in Wynter’s character.
He shakily got up from the bed. The sunlight streaming through the window bathed him, highlighting his dignified posture despite his elderly state.
“I do have concerns, but it’s been so long that I thought it might be better to let it go. Yet, I still don’t understand.” Reuben sounded like he was asking someone else yet also sounded as if he was talking to himself.
He couldn’t grasp why Marie, the daughter he personally brought up, became so different from his memories. How could she abandon her family for a man?
“You should ask directly if you don’t understand,” Wynter said instinctively without much thought,
Reuben looked at her with surprise, “Ask directly?”
“Yes. Seeing photos or hearing stories might not reveal the truth. Isn’t asking the person in question better?”
Wynter was worried about revealing too much as she spoke. Disclosing her true identity wasn’t ideal given the current situation. After all, the heartache in Reuben was tied to Marie.
Seeing Reuben’s expression, Wynter knew she had to give him more time to think things through.
