About forty minutes later, Zhou Mingchen walked out of the consultation room, his complexion looking rather poor.
"The doctor said it's your turn to go in," he told Xia Lu.
"Me?" Xia Lu was somewhat surprised, "Alone?"
Upon receiving a affirmative response, she stood up and walked hesitantly towards the consultation room, feeling puzzled. It was Zhou Mingchen who came for a medical consultation, yet the psychologist requested a private conversation with her. Could psychological treatment be the same as other treatments where if the patient's condition was severe, the doctor had an obligation to inform the family members in advance?
She entered the consultation room with trepidation and closed the door behind her.
"Mrs. Zhou, please have a seat."
Thankfully, the decor of the psychological consultation room was much warmer and comforting than the hospital, somewhat easing her nerves.
