Leaving While Pregnant：He Goes Crazy！
Chapter 484 Alone

At first, Jane thought she was hearing things.

Mr. Cooper actually agreed to hire a psychologist for Ms. Hansen?

She was stunned for a moment, then asked, "Mr. Cooper, what did you just say?"

She couldn't quite believe it and wanted to confirm it once more.

Upon hearing her, Michael Cooper's stern gaze swept over to her, startling Jane, who quickly said, "I'll go and arrange it right away." After that, she ran out of the room and bumped into David, who was lurking in the corner, and promptly informed him of the situation. "David, Mr. Cooper finally agreed to get a psychologist for Ms. Hansen."

It was undoubtedly good news for Jane, but after she spoke, no hint of joy appeared on David's face.

His expression seemed to tell her that this was not good news at all.

Thus, the smile slowly faded from Jane's face.

"David? Isn't this a good thing? Why do you seem so unhappy?"

She didn't do something wrong, did she? Although it seemed like she hadn't had the chance to do anything yet.

David glanced at her with a subdued look in his eyes.

"My mood has always been like this. Aren't you supposed to get the psychologist? Go ahead."

David quickly ended the conversation with Jane.

When the psychologist arrived, Eva was still asleep, so Michael Cooper didn't have anyone wake her up but instead told the psychologist to wait.

The psychologist found house calls troublesome enough already, and now they had to wait for the patient; he felt a bit displeased, but immediately, the butler beside him said, "Sorry for the inconvenience, we will triple the consultation fee for your time."

Hearing this, the psychologist lost every trace of discomfort. Triple the house call fee would keep him comfortable even if he had to wait a few more hours.

After about an hour, when Eva woke up, they called the psychologist in.

The psychologist, named Fennis, began to survey the room as soon as he entered.

Although it was daylight, the curtains were drawn, and the light inside relied solely on lamps, casting a dim yellow glow. His patient sat on the sofa, looking extremely frail, with a delicate face and sharp chin due to thinness.

She was dressed very lightly, appearing fragile and weak as she sat there, her eyelids lowered, her demeanor listless.

A young woman, dressed as a maid, stood beside her.

There was also a man in a suit, his expression indifferent, exuding an air of authority.

Just one glance was enough for Fennis to know that he was the master of the house, so he greeted him.

"Hello."

Michael Cooper shook his hand in return.

"Hello."

It was clear the man was not in high spirits, but it seemed normal. He appeared to be the significant other of the woman, and anyone's mood would hardly be bright if their partner needed to see a psychologist. So, without saying much else, Fennis went straight to the point, "I'm sorry, could I have some time alone with Ms Hansen?"

At these words, Michael Cooper's gaze suddenly turned sharp.

"Alone?"

Fennis gave a slight smile, "Yes, it helps patients open up to me."

Many patients with psychological issues are most guarded around the people closest to them.

And often, the problems originate from those close to them, which is why it's best to communicate one-on-one. "How long?"

"It's uncertain. It depends on whether she's willing to communicate and the severity of the patient's condition." Allowing Eva to be alone with a stranger, and not knowing the duration, how could he be at ease with that? Moreover, Eva's body was still so weak, what if she fainted again, and they outside did not know about it?

Fennis noticed the wariness in the other's eyes, a kind of vigilance towards men. He understood, having encountered many such relatives and friends before; but this was his job.

Seeing that the other party was still very concerned, Fennis could only offer reassurance: "Sir, please rest assured, I have over a decade of medical experience, and I am very professional. I will do nothing beyond my work, you can absolutely trust me on that."

Michael Cooper pursed his lips, despite the assurance, it was clear he was still not entirely at ease.

The best he could do was look at the psychologist and say, "Can I speak with you alone for a moment?"

Fennis paused for a second, then nodded.

"Of course."

So, Fennis followed Michael Cooper out of the room.

Jane watched anxiously from the side, her gaze turning towards Eva, who had been sitting up but seemed unresponsive since then.

She wondered whether the consultation with the psychologist would go smoothly?

After waiting around two minutes, the psychologist finally came back inside.

Upon entering, he glanced at Jane.

After making eye contact with him, Jane left the room - after all, if Mr. Cooper couldn't stay, neither should she.

As she walked away, Jane wondered what Mr. Cooper might have said to him when he took him aside.

He had seemed so worried before about Ms. Hansen being alone with a strange man.

Well, it wasn't for her to worry about.

At this time, both Michael Cooper and David were also standing guard outside. When Jane came out and greeted Michael Cooper, he didn't respond due to his preoccupation.

Just a psychological consultation, yet the expressions of the three people standing outside seemed even graver than those waiting outside an operating room.

Time seemed to pass extraordinarily slowly.

Michael Cooper stood silently in place, while Jane's hands were twisted together, biting her lower lip, her expression tense.

In contrast, David appeared the most composed.

It seemed he was prepared for any outcome.

During the long wait, it appeared that sounds came from inside the room; their brows moved, but before they could react, the door opened in front of them. David instinctively lifted his hand and glanced at his wristwatch.

Ten minutes.

From the time he went in until now, it had been just about ten minutes.

David was instantly puzzled. Was the consultation that quick?

He pursed his lips and stepped forward.

"How did it go?"

Fennis looked at the three of them, sighed with utter helplessness, and shook his head.

His expression and gesture instantly made Michael Cooper furrow his brows.

"What do you mean?"

Jane also asked, "Yes, Mr. Fennis, how is Ms. Hansen exactly?"

Fennis let out a long sigh.

"The patient refused to communicate with me."

They thought he would say Eva's condition was severe, but they didn't expect this outcome.

Fennis looked very helpless, "I spent ten minutes, and she kept refusing to communicate with me. If a patient refuses to communicate, gives up hope then..." Before he could finish, Michael Cooper's brows tightened fiercely.

"Only ten minutes and you're giving up? What do you think we're paying you all that consultation fee for?"
