Chapter 495
Kenneth had a rough idea about the arranged marriage between the Coffey family and the Lucero family. Morgan saw Liliana as his future daughter-in-law, but it didn't matter to Kenneth. He would spend his life with whoever he married. After marriage, he would treat his wife with respect, and provide her with status, wealth, power, and even children. He could guarantee his loyalty. Moreover, Liliana was the only girl who had managed to get close to him so far, so marrying her wouldn't be a bad idea.
However, he didn't have any desire for an intimate embrace with Liliana at the moment. Today, everyone teased him to kiss her, but he didn't want to.
Kenneth looked at Dr. Olsen, and his deep voice was tinged with a hint of hoarseness and confusion. "I don't know why, but I feel empty inside. The days pass without much joy or sorrow. I can't find any liking for anything. I wake up, get up, and when the sun sets, I close my eyes again. My daily life is monotonous and almost mechanical. Today, Tyrone asked me if I was happy, but I don't feel happy at all. I don't even know what happiness feels like. I don't know what I want, but I always feel... like I've lost the most important thing in my life."
Dr. Olsen looked at the man's handsome face illuminated by the dim light and had an intuition that he had suffered significant psychological trauma, yet he seemed to be living a calm life now.
"Mr. Lucero, in the next session, let's try hypnosis. I'll enter your world and see if I can find the answers for you. What exactly have you lost?"
...
Dr. Olsen left, and Kenneth returned to his bedroom. He took a cold shower and then went to bed.
His sleep schedule was now normal. He could fall asleep every night, and he didn't know when his sleep disorder had been cured, but he no longer had episodes, outbursts, or nightmares. He could sleep until morning.
Everything had gotten better, and he was doing well now.
Just then, his phone beeped, indicating a text message. It was from Liliana - "Ken, can you drive me to school tomorrow?"
Kenneth remembered Dr. Olsen's suggestion and didn't refuse. He replied with a concise word - "Okay."
When Townley shouted with his booming voice, Arabella quickly placed her slender white finger on her lips, gesturing for him to lower his voice. "Mr. Townley, speak more softly. You scared my birds."
Arabella was feeding the birds. She had a birdcage beside her with three fluffy little birds inside.
"Bella, it's already this late, why are you still feeding the birds? You've been keeping these birds with you for three months now. There are plenty of birds in the sky. If you like, I can catch a whole forest of birds for you to play with!"
Townley was a strong and robust man, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, a straightforward and hearty personality.
Arabella quickly declined, "Mr. Townley, thank you, but even a forest of birds can't compare to these three little ones of mine. Besides, Ernesto didn't get what he wanted just now. He's probably half-dead with anger. I'll peacefully break off the engagement with him. Mr. Townley, I've just arrived in Faykarta, so please don't cause too much trouble. Let's keep a low profile."
