In the conference hall of Aurelith University, Yasmine sat in her seat facing the camera. The debate hadn't
started yet. Carter and Winston had already reminded her several times, not to mention all the advice Lena had
given her before. When the big screen lit up, Yasmine saw another conference room on the screen. The
difference was that this one was filled with many judges. Among them, Yasmine immediately spotted Lena.
Yasmine was sitting alone in the conference room, with her thesis displayed on the computer in front of her.
Before the defense began, she had already asked Lena to print out the thesis and distribute it to the judges on
site. "You can start," one of the judges said.
Yasmine stood up and began to explain her thesis confidently.
In
the waiting area outside the conference room, Carter and Winston were waiting anxiously. "President, do you
think Ms. Sanchez can secure a spot?" Winston asked.
Carter chuckled, "Mr. White, that's not a question for me. As a professor of psychology, you should know better
than | do about the value of her thesis."
Winston, of course, understood. Across the entire thesis platform, no similar ideas had been proposed. Even
Dekker considered it a groundbreaking advancement. However, her advancement depended on the outcof
this defense. The defense meeting lasted a whole three hours, from her initial proposal to the breakthrough
points and finally to the conclusion. She thoroughly explained her thesis. The atmosphere of the defense was
excellent, unlike the

simulated question sessions prepared by her school teachers. The judges turned it into more of a group
discussion, much like a seminar.
After the defense session finally ended and the computer screen went dark, Yasmine let out a slow breath. She
rubbed her eyes and finished off the water in her cup. For three hours, she hadn't even taken the tto drink,
and her mouth felt parched. At the very end of it all, she noticed Lena discreetly giving her a thumbs-up. That
was when she knew the defense was probably okay.
As soon as she opened the door, Carter and Winston approached her to ask about how it went. "How was it?
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThey didn't throw any tricky questions at you, did they?"
Yasmine knew they were concerned about her and responded with a smile, "It went pretty well. The judges didn't
ask any weird questions. They just discussed the model construction and data analysis methods with me.
Nothing else really." Winston was beaming as he said, "I've heard about the Dekker Competition before. A
defense usually takes about two hours, but yours lasted a whole three hours. That at least shows the judges
were very interested in your thesis."
Carter gave her a pat on the shoulder. "Great job. Take a break and rest up today."
"Thank you, President," Yasmine said, not being modest about it. She needed to hurry back and take care of
matters regarding Yoselin. There were exactly seven days until the defense results were announced, giving her
the perfect amount of tto help Yoselin with Inner Peace Therapy. On the first day, Yoselin was locked in her
room, lying quietly on the bed while staring at the white ceiling. Before she was shut in, Yasmine had a good talk
with her, and only after getting her agreement did she proceed. Yoselin spent the entire day sleeping, and
whenever she woke up, she quickly fell back asleep. The first day was easy to get through, and whenever she
slept, Yasmine brought meals into the room.
On the second day, Yoselin began feeling restless, trying several times to get Box

up from the bed, but the door was tightly locked, impossible for her to open. She knocked on the door in distress
but got no response. Yasmine sat outside, the sound of Yoselin's s**bs behind her. She fought the urge to open
the door.
5 "Con, Yoselin," Yasmine said. She mused,
There were no more sounds from behind the door. Watching her phone screen, Yoselin sat on the floor, tears
streaming down her face. Yasmine's fingers trembled, almost unlocking the door, but she remembered Eric's
advice and put her hand back down. If even she couldn't hold on, how was Yoselin supposed to?
At noon, Yoselin dozed off again, and Yasmine took the chance to open the door and bring her food, dishes that
Yoselin loved the most.
The third day. Today marks a turning point. For most patients undergoing Inner Peace Therapy, the first two days
are tough, but on the third day, they
begin to change, transitioning from breakdowns to self-discovery, slowly digesting their emotions. Yasmine
watched Yoselin on the monitor, not just recording her condition, but more importantly, preventing her from self-
harm.
During the experiment at Soucrity Hospital, it was discovered that out of a hundred patients, twenty would start
thinking of various ways to self-harm after breaking down, and after doing so, their condition would worsen.
Yoselin lay obediently on the bed, staring at her hands as if counting the lines on her palms. She mumbled
something, but Yasmine couldn't hear what she said.
On the fourth day, an unexpected person showed up at the Sanchez residence -it was Irene. Yasmine opened the
door and stood there, stunned, unsure of why she was there. She asked, "Ms. White?"
Irene handed her the fruit she was holding and smiled. "Ms. Sanchez, sorry for the sudden visit. I'm here to see
Yoselin. Where is she?"
Chapter 163
Yasmine took the fruit and let her in. Pointing to Yoselin's room, she said, "Yoselin is not able to cout right
now. I'm helping her with treatment, so she can't see anyone."
"Can't see anyone?" Irene looked doubtful. "Ms. Sanchez, Yoselin isn't a criminal. What kind of treatment stops
her from seeing people?"

Yasmine said in a deep voice, "Ms. White, I'm treating Yoselin. If you let her out and she doesn't get better, will
you take responsibility?"
Irene released her grip on the door handle and looked from the door to Yasmine. "Nathan would be heartbroken
to see Yoselin like this, and so would Yonas..."
Yasmine replied coldly, "Then go ahead and tell them. Whether to keep Yoselin or not is their choice to make."
