They Want Me Back When It's Too Late (Jessica and Brian) novel Chapter 159

Chapter 159

Wesley didn’t use overly technical terms, but from their conversation, he learned that during their seven–year marriage, Jessica only felt truly happy during the first two years.

The rest of the time, especially after a certain woman entered the picture between her and Brian, even Jacob had started to drift away from her and complain. That was the final straw that broke Jessica.

Jessica remained silent. Wesley spoke gently, “Would it be alright if I called you Jessi?”

He knew that building rapport with patients was crucial. The more they trusted him in a short time, the smoother the treatment process would be, and the higher the chances of success.

Jessica nodded slightly.

“Depression can be considered an illness, but it doesn’t have to be,” Wesley said, observing Jessica’s expression. “Don’t put pressure on yourself. Let out the emotions buried inside. With time, they’ll heal naturally.”

In her office at Atkinson Group, Madeline’s brow furrowed at the word “pregnant.” A cold glint flashed in her eyes.
