Chapter 1398 Do Not Cry
Arielle echoed, “Yeah, I saw that. Coincidentally, I was standing by the window during your PE lesson before this.
She was the last on the team all the time, being low profile and hardly communicating with the others. It shows
she’s sensitive, inferior, and has lost her passion for daily life.”
No doubt, she has made a comprehensive analysis. However, there is no concrete evidence to prove that Linda has
depression! At the thought of that, Sonia retorted again, “That’s just your assumption. Linda’s usually not like that.”
Obviously, she would go against everything Arielle mentioned. Thus, Arielle was well aware that she could only
prove to them that Linda had depression when the latter displayed certain symptoms.
“Linda, stop pretending. You’re fragile, sensitive, and inferior, yet you’re pretending to be cheerful and confident.
You don’t feel like smiling, but you still force a smile at the others. How long do you plan to go on like this? Don’t you
feel exhausted?” Arielle deliberately provoked her student.

The latter tugged at her blouse apprehensively. Right that instant, she looked even more tensed up. It was as
though Arielle had stripped her last shred of dignity.
To her, life was meaningless. However, she kept restraining herself from revealing her feelings so the others would
sense nothing awry.
Now that Arielle had exposed what she had been hiding all the while, Linda could not hold herself back any longer.
The next second, she burst into tears.
What makes her cry all of a sudden? She still looked fine a while ago. Sonia reprimanded Arielle inwardly for
triggering Linda, resulting in her emotional breakdown.
“Ms. Moore, as an educator, how could you be so mean? How could you have the heart to trigger her emotions to
prove you are right?”
Arielle shot her a mocking glance. “Ha! You’re good at twisting words. By the way, how’s it possible for her to be
easily triggered and break into tears if she doesn’t have depression?”
“I-It’s because she’s timid. I bet she must have gotten through something unhappy today. That’s why she lost
control when you triggered her emotion with your words!”
Sonia tried her best to speak up for herself. Even so, it sounded as if she was giving excuses.
Unequivocally, Linda was behaving weirdly moments ago. Not to mention, she was unusually anxious, and her slow
movement was utterly noticeable during the PE lesson. It was proven that her emotion fluctuated when she broke
into tears moments ago.
Even if Linda did not have depression, she was having an issue with her emotions.
Arielle did not wish to hurt Linda’s feelings to win the bet. Since the latter was sensitive and inferior, she did not
intend to trigger her emotion further, fearing that it would exacerbate the situation. What if she gets all worked up

Sympathized with the girl, she walked over to wrap her arms around Linda to appease her.
“Linda, it’s okay to cry your heart out! Don’t hold yourself back any longer. You’ll feel better after crying out. You
must have endured a lot while trying to suppress your emotions from the others. Why bother about how the others
look at you? Live your life to the fullest for yourself and not for the others,” Arielle consoled her.
Unexpectedly, Linda’s emotions were triggered by her words of consolation again. Burying her head on Arielle’s
shoulder, she started crying her head out.
She could not fathom why she suddenly felt pessimistic and could not hold back her tears. It seemed waves of
inexplicit emotions surging from within her were driving her insane.
All her classmates were stupefied as they had never seen her in such a state before.
Needless to say, Arielle won the bet against Sonia. Undeniably, there was something not right about Linda.
Meanwhile, Sonia was utterly speechless at the scene. It never occurred to her that Linda would be in such a
pathetic state. So did I make a mistake? Does it mean that she has depression?
“Linda, don’t cry…” Arielle coaxed her, but the latter cried even harder.
Fearing that Linda would be out of control and have an emotional breakdown, Arielle whipped out a mini bottle.
She took out a capsule, gesturing to Linda to calm herself down and swallow it.
