Chapter 8

While the scandal of the brilliant psychiatrist Shawn and his violent rampage held the world spellbound,

I had just awakened in a top-tier wellness retreat on a secluded Pacific island.

Just then, an distinguished doctor pushed open the door and entered, his gaze upon me filled with utter tenderness:

"Arlene, you're finally awake."

"After an evaluation, your current physical and mental condition has reached a healthy standard. Congratulations, you can be discharged."

I was overjoyed.

As I looked at him, my eyes were filled with heartfelt gratitude:

"Dr. Sebastian, thank you."

I turned to start packing my things, completely unaware that the ever-composed Dr. Sebastian was now standing right behind me, blushing to the very tips of his ears.

"Arlene, could you… perhaps not call me Dr. Sebastian?"

"Huh?"

I turned back abruptly.

"If I don't call you Dr. Sebastian, then what should I call you?"

Sebastian Grey's face flushed an even deeper crimson.
