During the lunch break, there was no patient in Arthur's consulting room except Jared, who was sitting on the opposite chair.
"Say it." Arthur Barclay closed the folder and looked at Jared Cromwell, who was sitting opposite him. "What do you want to talk about?"
"About Herman," Jared Cromwell was silent for a long time, and finally said, "I want to ask him about his condition."
"He's in good condition," Arthur Barclay nodded and said, "All the indicators are normal. At present, there shouldn't be a big problem, but..."
Jared Cromwell instantly raised his head. "But what?"
"It's about his personal condition," Arthur Barclay hesitated for a long time and finally decided to tell Jared Cromwell about it. "To be honest, Herman's physical condition is okay, but it doesn't mean that his mental state is okay."
Jared Cromwell's hand touched the table, revealing a trace of uneasiness in his heart. "What does this mean?"
"... Do you think that Herman is too tolerant?"
Jared Cromwell's heart tightened, and he suddenly thought of what had happened before.
When he was injured, he didn't cry out, he waited quietly for the doctor to treat him, and he didn't cry out to others about his pain; after breaking up with Jared, he asked Jared to spend the last night with him, just cooking and having sex as usual. He didn't show a trace of regret or grievance; on the day he left Cromwell's house, he didn't vent anymore except for writing "Jared is a bastard" on the window.
Later, when he was slandered about AIDS and criticized to his face by others... he suffered quite a lot of grievances.
But when Jared thought about it, he discovered that he saw very few of Herman's true emotions.
After a long time, he nodded: "He has endured too much."
"Yes." Arthur Barclay also lowered his head and sighed. "There is a kind of psychological symptom called "Smile Depression". People with this kind of symptom often feel great pressure in daily life. On the surface, they act nonchalantly and even smile, and they look thorny and strong, but they often deal with pain and depression on the inside."
Jared Cromwell's palm started to sweat slightly.
Because he found that every one of them was particularly in line with Herman's.
"What you mean is that Herman's heart is not like what he looks like on the surface." Jared Cromwell raised his head, and his eyes were filled with complicated emotions. "In fact, his heart is very painful and depressed, isn't it?"
Arthur Barclay nodded. "I have learned about the family background and experience of Herman from the side. I believe that you should also know that his family background is not good, his father's family is violent, and his mother died of illness. This has already been a great blow to him.
He sincerely loves you, but he is still betrayed and abandoned. This is another blow. In addition to other injuries... I think that he can hold on to all this until now. His psychological quality is very strong. He is very amazing."
Jared Cromwell nodded.
"But after carrying all this, no matter how great a person is, he will feel tired and want to rest," Arthur sighed, "Then he knew that he was pregnant, and he had to stand up for the child and do his own career. Even an Iron Man will feel tired. What do you think?"
Jared Cromwell thought about Herman's words. In the past, he only felt that he was so angry at what he had done. But today, when he thought about it with another state of mind, he only felt that his heart was as painful as being cut by a knife.
"He needs to vent his anger." Jared Cromwell's voice was a little hoarse. "He..."
"This is what I'm most afraid of," Arthur Barclay suddenly stood up with an anxious look on his face. "He's usually in good health. But I'm afraid he's going to go too far. If he's stimulated to explode, something bad will happen to him."
Jared Cromwell looked at the stack of documents on Arthur Barclay's desk and took out Herman's report.
He looked at the words "Herman Easton" on the report, and the pain in his heart became stronger.
"Is there anything wrong between the two of you?" Arthur Barclay walked around the room for a while and then sat back in his seat. He looked at Jared Cromwell and asked.
"I plan to sign a contract with him to raise the child, and he agrees." Jared Cromwell held his head with both hands, and his heart was in a mess. "But it seems that he doesn't want to have more contact with me. Everything is just for the sake of the child."
"What about you? What do you think?"
Jared Cromwell was silent for a while. "I just think..."
"Are you upset?" Arthur Barclay pushed the gold-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose and a sharp glint flashed across his eyes.
At this point, Jared Cromwell no longer tried to hide his feelings. He nodded straightforwardly and said, "It's not good."
"Why?"
Jared Cromwell shook his head. "I can't explain."
"Tell me the details about the things and places that make you uncomfortable."
Jared Cromwell sorted out his thoughts. "I carried him back when he was drunk. He cried on the way back and said many grievances that I didn't know before. I felt uncomfortable. Later, I found that he gradually withdrew his concern for me. I couldn't eat the food he cooked, nor did he wear a tie for me. He no longer cared about every aspect of my life. I felt uncomfortable."
Arthur Barclay nodded and quickly picked up a pen from a pen holder beside him. He took a piece of white paper from the pen holder and quickly wrote it down. "Very well. Go on."
"He spoke with another man, and his movements were intimate. I felt uncomfortable. Yes, at that time, I wanted to strangle him alive. Until now, I have tried to be good to him, but he refused me repeatedly and insisted on setting boundaries with me. I feel uncomfortable."
"Well," Arthur Barclay pushed up his glasses and said, "Is there anything else?"
"He..." Jared Cromwell was silent for a while, and finally said, "When I went to bed at night, I thought about him sleeping in the next room. Sleeping in another room. The wall in the middle is always separated, I feel... uncomfortable."
Arthur Barclay wrote down these briefly on a piece of paper and then slapped the brush on the table. He raised his head and said loudly, "I am an outsider. I don't favor either of you, but I still want to say that in this relationship, Jared Cromwell, you are a... b*stard!"
