The hanging clock outside the consultation room had gone through a full rotation of its minute hand.
Xu He stood up anxiously and leaned close to the door to listen.
But the soundproofing of the consultation room was too effective, preventing any sounds from escaping.
It was said that many people would break down and cry during PTSD therapy.
Xu He couldn’t bear the thought, but opening up was the first step towards healing.
“Click–”
The sound of the door handle turning snapped her out of her wild thoughts.
Looking up, Little Tiangao walked out from inside.
Her expression was calm, no different from when she had entered.
Her eyes were clear, her little face fair and smooth, not at all like someone who had been crying.
Xu He wasn’t sure whether to be relieved or to feel…
“Little Tiangao, you…”
Before she could finish, sobbing and wailing from inside the room interrupted her thoughts.
Xu He looked over in astonishment, only to see the reputedly decisive and courageous ‘Iron Lady’ Pu Meilan, now bent over the table, sobbing her heart out.
The crying was loud, as if years of suppressed sorrow were finally finding an outlet, desperate to be fully released.
Xu He was full of question marks, “Tiangao, is this… Director Pu?”
Xia Ye nodded, her tone serene, “Let her cry for a while, she’ll feel better once it’s out.”
Xu He opened her mouth, but for the life of her, could not utter a single word.
Just who was counseling whom, in the end?

Leaving the psychology department, the children’s healthcare department was directly opposite.
From a distance, she saw a little boy ‘whooshing’ out of the examination room.
“Young Master, slow down when you run, don’t fall!”
“Young Master, the injection won’t hurt at all, really!”
“Young Master!”
As the little boy drew closer, Xia Ye made out his appearance.
He seemed to be about three or four years old, wearing overalls with a bow tie, clearly someone’s little treasure.
Although short-legged, he was fast, leaving his two nannies unable to catch up.
In his hands, he clutched a toy car, looking back as he ran, “Liars!
That little kid just now fainted in pain!
I’m not getting it; you get it instead!”
He was too concerned with talking to watch where he was going.
“Young Master!
The stairs are ahead!”
By the time he noticed, one foot was already in midair, and he lost his balance, about to tumble down the stairs—
Just in a nick of time, Xia Ye swiftly approached and, with a quick reaction, grabbed his arm, pulling him back to safety…
The nannies arriving later were dumbfounded, rooted to the spot.
Seeing the Young Master unharmed, they thanked Xia Ye profusely.
But how had this seemingly fragile girl managed to get to the Young Master so quickly?
They had barely seen it happen!
Xu He was still pondering the events of the therapy session and didn’t pay much attention to the little boy, nodding to the grateful nannies before taking her daughter’s hand, “Let’s go, Little Tiangao, your brothers are home already~”
While Little Tiangao had been in the consultation room, Xia Xing had called her three times urging her to come home.
Xia Ye agreed and followed her out.
The two nannies clung to the little boy’s hands on either side, determined not to let him escape again!
“Young Master, be good.
All children must get vaccinated to avoid getting sick, and then you can visit your cousin tomorrow.”
The little boy, who had just been defiantly unyielding, now seemed surprisingly indifferent to the word “injection.”
His grape-like eyes, clear and bright, were fixed on the spot where Xia Ye had departed, and his tender little mouth was slightly open, “Sister Little Tiangao…?”
The nannies didn’t catch it clearly, “What?
Tiangao?
Wait until after the injection, we’ll buy you some Tiangao.”
The little boy ignored them, and on the way to the examination room, he bore the deep expression of a little boss, uttering a classic boss-like phrase!
“I want all the information on Sister Little Tiangao within three minutes!”
