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.”

Devin knew that insisting on her departure at this moment would only raise suspicion, so he didn’t press the matter further. Instead, he expressed a mild apology.

“Yes, the diagnosis can commence at any time. My previous suggestion was merely a personal opinion. Miss Edwards, please accept my apologies.”

Ariana didn’t pursue the matter further and turned her attention back to Adele.
