Chapter 488 A Kindhearted Kid Jean waited for a bit, but Hector never replied.
How arrogant.
She exited Whatand pressed her lips together.
Finished Yep, sounded just like Hector-ignoring her complaints and protests, already having made the decision for her.
Still, Jean wasn't actually upset.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAs overbearing as Hector could be, the things he asked her to do were never truly unreasonable or harmful. If anything, they were trivial.
And somehow, he always seemed easily satisfied.
If something so small could put him in a better mood, then maybe it wasn't so bad.
Jean had complicated feelings about Hector.
Sure, his pushiness wore her down and gave her a headache at times, but she didn't actually dislike him. In fact... maybe she even "indulged" him a little.
She kept giving in, relaxing her boundaries bit by bit and letting him have his way.
Jean shook her head, a chill running down her spine.
At this rate, she really was going to end up his preschool teacher or something. The lengths she was going to, just to steer Hector's personality onto a "healthy path," were seriously over the top.
A few days later- Hector's driver showed up at the Ginger family estate right on schedule to pick Jean up.
By now, everyone in the house was used to it.
At first, they thought Jean really was treating Hector's psychological issues-after all, they knew what she was capable of.
She had medical skills. They trusted her in that department.
But as twent on, it becclear that her outings with Hector had nothing to do with actual therapy.

Jean had just shrugged and said casually, "Exactly what it looks like." "We're just, y'know, activity buddies." "That's... not easy to interpret," he admitted, frowning with confusion.
Chapter 488 A Kindhearted Kid Finichen Jean quirked her lips, somewhere between amused and resigned. "You know what kind of person Hector is -he's weird. Back then, I was all fired up about helping him, so I agreed to treat him. But standard methods don't seem to work on him. Or rather, he just doesn't play by the rules." She shook her head with a helpless smile. “He doesn't like talking, doesn't like listening. He just wants to experience everyday things to 'heal his soul' or whatever. So I ended up being the one to tag along." Samuel smiled in response.
A warm softness flickered in his eyes.
"Jean, you really are such a kind and gentle kid." Jean raised an eyebrow, like she was asking, Why do you say that?
"A typical therapist wouldn't go this far," Samuel explained. "They do their best during office houks, sure-but going out to entertain a patient on their own time? That's a whole different level of commitment." Jean chuckled. "I just..."
"Well, I made a promise, didn't I? And after a few outings with him, noticed ngs with him, real change That dead-inside vibe he had? Not as strong anymore." "Dead-inside vibe?" Samuel burst into laughter. "That's quite the description." 0
Jean pouted, grinning. “It's true though. He's definitely doing better now. So all of thistbeing his F tagalong-it actually means something." Send Gifts 1.9K When the Book-Traveling Girl Meets the Rebom Girl to access chapters of early and in the highest quality.
