It was truly puzzling. Ariana wondered why she needed to meet Holden before commencing the diagnosis. Did she have to see him first to treat Adele’s ailment?

At this point, Devin realized that he had spoken too hastily and was anxious about the possibility of an encounter between Holden and Ariana. However, he swiftly regained his composure and explained, “It’s just that previous therapists who came here were accompanied by Mr. Fredrick.”
