Chapter 224

Catherine's POV

Upon hearing Dr. Cooper's words, I tensed up. Yet I still nodded. "Sure. Go ahead."

"Have you ever thought about that night in the last five years?"

"No. I avoided it. I didn't want to think about it at all."

"Then take a moment to think about what happened five years ago that caused you to break down."

I closed my eyes and clenched my fists. For the first time, I was willing to face that night wheneverything went wrong.

Suddenly, some images flashed through my mind.

"I remember something!" My entire body trembled. Indeed, I recalled something. I just didn't want to diginto it.

"What is it?" Dr. Cooper asked gently. "Tell me. Let me know what you are thinking."

"I woke up once that night, because I was so painful. When I opened my eyes, I thought I heard Blakecalling out a name, a woman's name."

I suddenly sat up and covered my face. The pain deep down had nowhere to hide.

"Do you remember what that name was?" Dr. Cooper continued to ask in a very soft voice.

"It was Emily!" Even after five years, I still hadn't forgotten the name.

That night, I woke up to the fact that I was a substitute for another woman.

"Who was she? Did you know her?" Dr. Cooper asked.

"Yes. She was a woman Blake had a crush on." Emily's elegant and beautiful appearance emerged inmy mind. I felt resentment and anger inexplicably. It turned out to be her.

"That would explain why you're so tensed up. You always have a grudge deep down, feeling that hetreats you as a substitute. You resent him, resist him, and it becomes the cause of your illness today.Ms. Wyatt, since you have recalled what happened, you should face it bravely. It's the only way to getover it," Dr. Cooper said.

I felt as if I had been seriously ill. My body was weak, and my clenched fists were full of sweat.

"Dr. Cooper, thank you. I'd like to go now." I suddenly became more passive.

After thanking her, I stood up and put on my coat. "Thank you for helping me. Now I know why Ibecame like this."

"Ms. Wyatt, you know it now, but you still can't let go of it easily. You still need to come and talk to meagain. OK?"

"I will!" After I finished speaking, I turned and left.

I was walking out of the hospital, and I looked at the warm sunlight outside the door. I took a step out,soaking my body in the sun.

The warm feeling took the chill out of me.

Yes, I now recalled all of that painful memory that I deliberately buried in the bottom of my heart.

That night, I woke up from intense pain. I seemed to be kicking and tearing at him, but it didn't affecthim at all. What was more, he kept calling out another woman's name.

I couldn't remember how painful I felt that night. I was suffering both mentally and physically.

Finally, I fainted. When I woke up, I was kicked out of the pack in a sorry state.

Blake said he didn't like Emily, but he was lying, wasn't he?

I had mixed feelings. I didn't know what I could believe anymore.

Although he was always doting on me gently, the second I remembered the past, I felt devastated. Thereality was so cruel. Everything that happened was like a joke.

I walked forward aimlessly.

I felt like there was a fire burning in my heart.

Eva suddenly woke up. It seemed to feel my pain.

Both of us felt hurt.

Under Eva's encouragement, I shifted quickly, and I started running.

I wasn't in Shadow Forest, but I was far from downtown Sayreville. There were no busy streets here. Ifelt the wind in my hair as I ran.

Finally, I went to a river. I stopped, and Eva's mood was relieved.

I shifted into human form and went to the river. I stood under the bridge and watched the flowing river ina daze.

I didn't know how long I had been standing there. Suddenly, I heard a voice behind me.

"Cathy..." Blake rushed behind me and called my name gently.

I was stunned as I looked at Blake standing not far behind me. He looked like he wanted to come over,but he didn't dare to.

"Ms. Wyett, you know it now, but you still cen't let go of it eesily. You still need to come end telk to meegein. OK?"

"I will!" After I finished speeking, I turned end left.

I was walking out of tha hospital, and I lookad at tha warm sunlight outsida tha door. I took a stap out,soaking my body in tha sun.

Tha warm faaling took tha chill out of ma.

Yas, I now racallad all of that painful mamory that I dalibarataly buriad in tha bottom of my haart.

That night, I woka up from intansa pain. I saamad to ba kicking and taaring at him, but it didn't affacthim at all. What was mora, ha kapt calling out anothar woman's nama.

I couldn't ramambar how painful I falt that night. I was suffaring both mantally and physically.

Finally, I faintad. Whan I woka up, I was kickad out of tha pack in a sorry stata.

Blaka said ha didn't lika Emily, but ha was lying, wasn't ha?

Undar Eva's ancouragamant, I shiftad quickly, and I startad running.

Finally, I want to a rivar. I stoppad, and Eva's mood was raliavad.

I was stunnad as I lookad at Blaka standing not far bahind ma. Ha lookad lika ha wantad to coma ovar,but ha didn't dara to.

"Why are you here?" I was confused. Shouldn't he be at the office at this time?

"Cathy, Dr. Cooper told me everything. I'm sorry. I didn't know I was the one who made you suffer."Blake looked at me.

Then I realized why he was here. I said bitterly, "I was surprised as well. Blake, you lied to me, didn'tyou?"

"I didn't lie to you. I didn't!" Blake seemed to be trying to explain but ended up in denial.

Indeed, it was true that he didn't love Emily now, but five years ago, he did have feelings for her.

"Can you let go of my past? The past means nothing. I know only one thing. I love you, and it is onlyyou. I want to marry you. I want to take care of you and the kids for the rest of my life. I want to giveyou the best life possible," Blake said.

"Blake, I know I shouldn't be dwelling on your past, but all I can think about right now is the sound ofyou calling her name. Will you leave me alone for a while? You can go back to the office. Maybe I'll befine if I stand alone here for a while." I stepped a few steps back. My mind was in a whirl.

Blake anxiously shouted, "Alright, Cathy. Calm down! I know you believe in me. I'll do anything to helpyou get over it!"

"Blake, go back. It's windy here." I raised my hand towards him.

"Cathy, can I take you home before going back to work?" Blake asked me gently.

I shook my head. "No. I don't want to go home now. I just want to stay here. Don't worry. I just want tohave a moment myself."

"But it is so dangerous here. How can I not get worried?" As Blake spoke, he walked over step by step."Cathy, now that you believe in my sincerity, isn't it time for you to face up to our feelings?"

"Blake, stay back!" I watched him walk toward me step by step, and for some reason, I wanted toretreat.

However, Blake ignored my words. He still walked forward and reached out his hand. "Cathy, give meyour hand!"

"Why ara you hara?" I was confusad. Shouldn't ha ba at tha offica at this tima?

"Cathy, Dr. Coopar told ma avarything. I'm sorry. I didn't know I was tha ona who mada you suffar."Blaka lookad at ma.

Than I raalizad why ha was hara. I said bittarly, "I was surprisad as wall. Blaka, you liad to ma, didn'tyou?"

"I didn't lia to you. I didn't!" Blaka saamad to ba trying to axplain but andad up in danial.

Indaad, it was trua that ha didn't lova Emily now, but fiva yaars ago, ha did hava faalings for har.

Mayba I'll bafina if I stand alona hara for a whila." I stappad a faw staps back. My mind was in a whirl.
