Chapter 2236
Freyja rested her forehead on Colton’s chest and leaned against him.
Colton was startled, noticed her tense body, and stretched out his hand to hug her. “What’s
the matter?”
“Can we find another psychologist for Deedee?” She hesitated for a long time before she
spoke.
‘Even though Deedee’s condition is serious, what could’ve gone wrong when a psychologist
can’t even start to lead her in the right direction after half a year and might even have
made her condition worse?
‘And it’s impossible for Deedee to reject treatment and medicine for no reason.‘
After listening to Deedee’s sequelae after taking medicine, insomnia, headaches, and
nightmares, Freyja could not help but think of what Deedee had said when she hurt herself
six months ago.
‘She’s a simple child. She might choose to lie, but she would never frame someone else.
When others ask her to do something, she’ll just do it. She won’t take any other things into
consideration because her thoughts are just that simple.

even instigation?‘
Colton squinted slightly. “Do you think Deedee is seriously ill because of the doctor?”
Freyja was stunned and took a deep breath. “What if I do?”
“Do you think it’s the doctor’s responsibility that a person with mental issues rejects the
treatment? Her condition has gone on for more than half a year, and she’s still rejecting her
doctor’s treatment. She even bit her doctor. Do you really think that the child doesn’t need
a psychologist and can recover by herself?”
Freyja looked at him as a hint of shock flashed across the bottom of her eyes. “So do you
think it’s Deedee’s problem too?”
Colton almost lost his cool. “Isn’t it?”
She pursed her lips and said nothing.
‘Deedee has mental issues, I can’t deny that. However, in Colton’s eyes, Deedee is just a
kid who refuses to cooperate with the treatment, and the deterioration in her condition is
never because of the doctor but because of Deedee herself.
‘Perhaps the things Deedee did back then have caused her to no longer be worthy of his
trust. So, Deedee’s resistance against the treatments is only because she doesn’t want to
cooperate and doesn’t want to be cured. There’s no other reason.‘

Colton calmed down and clasped her shoulders with both hands. “Freyja, I know you’re
worried about her, but what we have to do now is to get her to receive treatment and not
let her be. You, for one, should know best what the consequences will be if her condition
isn’t taken seriously.”
Freyja gave off a faint smile. “She’s not related to you, so it’s only natural for you not to
look into the root cause.”
She turned around and was about to leave the study.
Colton grabbed her arm, walked around her, and stopped in front of her. “Why are you
making a fuss out of this matter again?”
“I’m not making a fuss.” Freyja lifted her head and looked extremely calm. “Colton, you
think I only care about Deedee. That’s because Deedee has been by my side since she was
a baby, and to her, I’m her only relative. It makes me feel guilty that she became who she is
today. That’s because I didn’t fulfill my duty as her guardian, and you can’t understand my

“The rumors that are going around town are nothing to me, but Deedee, she got implicated
because of me. If something were to happen to her, I’d live in guilt and pain for the rest of
my life.
“She’s not my daughter, but still, we’re related by blood. Since we left the Pruitts, I’ve been
the only person she could depend on. However, I actually thought of sending her away so
that I could be with you when she needs me the most. You keep saying that I don’t care
about your feelings, but who’s ever cared about my feelings, I—”
Freyja vented all the emotions that had been accumulating within her, and the emotional
breakdown came to an abrupt end in his embrace.
Colton hugged her tightly, and after calming her down, his voice sounded hoarse. “I’m
sorry.”
Freyja bit his shoulder ferociously.
He groaned but endured silently and did not let go.
Freyja finally loosened her jaw and hugged him. “Colton, it’s not that I’ve never felt regret. If
you hadn’t kissed me three years ago, I might have been able to keep my feelings for you
under control. You keep on saying that I’m the one who provoked you at first, but how does
that not make you the one who took the initiative to provoke me first? Maybe us being
together has always been a mistake from the very beginning…“
