Chapter 549 You Need to Learn to Control Your Emotions
"When can I fully recover?" That was Alec's main concern because he wanted to meet with Jenny.
Blake probably read his mind and sat across from him with a smile. "The first thing you need to do is to learn self-
control. You mentioned that you couldn't stop yourself from wanting to keep Jenny by your side and that you
couldn't stand the sight of men around her. These are symptoms of a mental health disorder. Your mental health
issue did not surface over a few days. They are the culmination of poor mental health over the years. A fast
recovery is rather impossible."
Alec frowned upon hearing her professional opinion. no.velxo He knew his condition was severe, but he wanted the

Based on what you said just now, I can't meet Jenny before I fully recover. Is that right?" He would rather give up on
the treatment if that were the case. The reason he attended therapy in the first place was so that he
could be with Jenny. If he was forced to give up on meeting her because of it, it'd be against his goal.
Blake shook her head and explained, "If you want to meet her, you can go ahead. My advice is not to meet with her
too frequently. That won't help with your treatment. Right now, you need to learn to control your emotions. You
cannot be a slave to it. If you succeed, I'd consider that a recovery."
Once he received a green light from Blake to meet with Jenny, he beamed and ignored the rest of her advice.
Standing up, he was ready to leave. He needed to meet Jenny-he couldn't wait anymore.
Blake was speechless at his behavior. "Haven't I told you to control yourself? Why do I feel like you utterly lack self-
control?"
"I think you need to focus on getting to the roots of my fear of the dark, not the other issues." Alec believed that

to his long-time fear of the dark. He didn't think that Jenny played a role in it at all.
"Yes. Your fear of the dark is the root of all problems. You can only face the dark once we untangle your emotions."
She didn't deny his claim. As a psychologist, she was well aware of the reason behind his emotional turmoil.
However, the situation had grown complex, and she couldn't solve his mental health issues just by addressing his
childhood trauma.
Alec didn't plan to discuss more as he walked to the door. "Your treatment is very effective. My assistant will

wondered about the identity of the woman with whom Alec was deeply in love. There was another possibility,
though- Alec could have just been a special case.
Alec wasn't interested in Blake's opinions about him.no.velxo After exiting the clinic, he drove to Walter Castle and
parked his car there. Then, he called Jenny and waited for a while before she picked up. He almost thought she'd
ignore his call.
"Jenny," he called out to her once the call was connected.
Jenny experienced an odd feeling upon hearing his voice. "It's late. What's the matter?"
In the past few days, Alec had not once visited her at the hospital or called her after learning she was injured in an
incident. She was disappointed in him, and her frustration was reflected in her tone.
