The Woman From Hell

Expression composed, he spoke calmly as he looked at Nina in a deliberate manner. It was like one's impetuous heart could settle down the moment they met his gaze.

"Depression is not considered an illness. 60% of people in our society today will have depression to some extent. It's just a matter of severity. It won't get worse if it's not stimulated, and naturally, they won't feel it. But once it's stimulated by something, it leads to a serious illness, such as yours."

Nina did not realize she had depressive behavior. Hence, after knowing that he was a psychiatrist, it was inevitable that she would feel a little shaken. I understood this from what Jason said.

Nina went quiet at what he said. After a while, she slowly opened her mouth. "I've dreamed about my child every night since the operation. Sometimes, they'd keep saying that they hated me, but sometimes, they'd smile at me and ask me to go and accompany them. I really can't bear it."

"What you think in the day manifests as dreams at night. You dream about them every day and night because you've been thinking about them. Because of your debt to the child, your guilt is increasing day by day. Hence, your dreams are all about them."

It felt like there were some magical properties to Jason's voice. Hearing it brought one calmness. With him, I felt much more at ease. Instead of staying in the room, I left the ward with my laptop in hand and did some work in the corridor.

Some time had passed when I heard the sound of the door opening. I looked up, and it turned out Jason had come out.

I got up quickly and looked at Nina in the room. She was sleeping soundly.

"Dr. Frost, how is she today?"

"Well, it looks like Miss Collins's mood is quite stable. I believe she'll soon be out of the shadows as long as treatment continues."

Jason's words reassured me, and I nodded to him. "Thank you, Dr. Frost."
