Ice-Cold Ceo, Crazy Love

Chapter 355 With this belief firmly in mind, Penny had her people keep an eye on Eason and Emma’s whereabouts while she orchestrated her plan.

‘This time, | was determined to expose Emma’s true nature to Eason.” On that day. Dr. Thompson made yet another visit to check on Emma.

“How’s Emma doing. Dr. Thompson?” Eason asked hesitantly, “I feel like she hasn't changed much from before.” Dr. Thompson replied calmly, “No change is the best improvement we could hope for right now.” Eason looked at her, not quite understanding.

Dr. Thompson sighed and explained, “You might not realize, but Emma is in a catatonic state right now, a severe manifestation of depression. People like her have lost all will to live. This means she could harm herself or even attempt suicide at any moment. But look at her these past few days. She might not have improved, but she hasn't been harming herself frequently either. That's already a significant achievement.” Eason began to understand, but he still asked, “So, what should we do now?” He had put everything aside to be with Emma during these days.

But he had his own life to live, and he knew he couldn’t keep this up indefinitely.

Dr. Thompson understood this and after a moment's thought, she suggested decisively, “Try taking Emma out.” “Take Emma out?” Eason sounded nervous.

Dr. Thompson nodded affirmatively, “Emma’s lack of improvement is because she’s completely immersed in her own world. So, we need to pull her out and let her see the real world.” “Won't that backfire?” Eason frowned.

“We don’t need to rush her. Take it step by step. For example, start by taking her to less crowded places. If she adapts, gradually take her to places with more people. Doing it slowly like this, we won't risk causing irreversible damage,” Dr. Thompson advised.

Trusting the professional, Eason hesitated for a moment before agreeing.

The next day, he took Emma out.

He had carefully planned their route. Today, he intended to take Emma to a nearby park. The park was large, with people scattered across various areas, making it sparsely populated and ideal for the first stage of her treatment.

As soon as Eason and Emma stepped out, Penny’s people reported back to her.

Penny was invigorated and immediately had her people follow them discreetly.

Once she confirmed Eason and Emma’s destination, she began to make her arrangements.

At the park, Eason held Emma’s hand as they walked quietly along the lake.

Across the lake, they occasionally saw a few people enjoying themselves.

Emma just kept her head down without much reaction.

“Watch out for the branch,” Eason said.

Emma effortlessly stepped over the branch.

Eason’s gaze softened slightly as he watched her.

There was something irresistibly sweet and endearing about Emma at that moment.

Sometimes, Eason even wondered if continuing on like this wouldn't be so bad.

A gentle breeze rustled through.

The day was exceptionally clear and bright.

ves with i As the birds chirped around her, Emma becacutely aware of her surroundings. She raised her gaze, locking eyes bird perched high in the tree. A subtle smile began to form at the corners of her mouth, almost imperceptible.

Eason noticed this change.

A wave of happiness surged within him.

He kept thinking. It had been days since Emma showed any emotion, and now, she was smiling.

“Could this mean she was truly getting better? “Did it prove that Dr. Thompson's approach was working?” Hope flickered in Eason’s heart.

‘Maybe, if they continued this way, step by step, Emma would fully recover? Just as Eason was basking in this hopeful moment, a surprised voice called out, “Emma, what are you doing here?” Eason turned sharply.

His eyes narrowed in shock.

The speaker was a man.

Decently handsome, yet he exuded an annoying, greasy vibe.

But that wasn’t what mattered.

What mattered was that Eason recognized the guy from Emma's files.

This was the jerk who had abandoned Emma.

“Let's go, Emma,” Eason said, suppressing the urge to confront the man. He took Emma’s hand, ready to leave.

He knew all too well.

Emma was like a tightly wound string, ready to snap at the slightest touch.

And this man was definitely the one who could break her.

“Hey, why the rush to leave?” The guy approached briskly, grinning as he spoke. ‘Long tno see, Emma.

Don’t you want to catch up a bit?” A chill flashed in Eason’s eyes. He wasn’t in the mood to talk and tried to leave with Emma.

But Emma seemed frozen, unable to move.

Eason’s eyes narrowed sharply.

The guy grinned, “See, Emma doesn’t want to leave. After all, she once lovedso much. Who knows, maybe she still does.

“Shut up,” Eason glared at the guy, trying to forcefully lead Emma away.

“Eason,” Emma suddenly spoke, her gaze fixed on him, calling out his name.

Eason barely had tto be happy about Emma speaking for the first tin days. Anxiously, he said, “Emma, can we talk about this once we get home, please?” Emma shook her head.

“Are you her current boyfriend?” the man grinned. “If she doesn’t want to leave, no need to force her.” Eason clenched his teeth, holding back his urge to punch the man, considering how it might affect Emma.

Emma gently freed her hand from Eason'’s.

Then, facing the man, she asked, “Jeremy Black, what are you doing here?” Jeremy Black, thinking himself suave, smiled warmly, “I cto get back together with you.” Hearing “Get back together”, Eason felt an inexplicable anxiety.

Having read up on Emma, he knew well that Jeremy Black was nothing but a scoundrel.

But he also knew that Emma loved this man deeply.

Now, with Jeremy talking about getting back together, could Emma really be foolish enough to consider it? Emma looked steadily at Jeremy “No You chere for me, but not to get back together” Jeremy was taken aback by her cab response but quickly grined Emma, you're wrong this t| really do want to get back together. After all rare to find one who would spend an entire day making bagets just for me” Emena calmly replied. “But the bagels | made ended in the trash” Jeremy kept smiling “That's because they weren't tasty was just pushing you to do bem Other that your cooking you're pretty great. Like that tyou waited forall night in the cold, it madeproud Emma stared at him “That night, you never planned to come. You were just betting with someone to see how long w Jeremy continued, was testing you, and you did pretty well As Jeremy spoke, Eason couldn't hold back any longer He stepped forward and punched Jeremy in the face
