BookToReadChapter 0625 Nicholas said, "It's you who insisted I get checked. You've got to help me, right?" He pushedinto the examination room and pinnedagainst the door, locking it with a swift motion.
His bold move leftdrenched in cold sweat. 'Are you crazy? There are still people around!" How could he do this in a public place? Reflexively, I began to struggle.
My lips tightened in tension as I shot him a glare. 'Find someone else to help! A doctor, maybe! Why me? Letgo!" Nicholas caught my hands and intertwined our fingers, pinning them above my head. His low chuckle carried a hint of mischief.
"Take a good look. Do you see anyone else here?" I froze, the words hittinglike a lightning bolt on a sunny day.

Each examination room had a similar setup. After accompanying Tabitha to so many rooms today, I immediately noticed what made this one different.
The spot where the couch should've been was replaced by a large bed. Even the usually dark TV opposite the couch was surprisingly switched on.
I shouldn't have looked. The moment I did, my face burned.
The paused screen wasn't just anything. It was a scene from one of those infamous "romantic films". The paused moment was right in the middle of a heated, entangled love scene.
The overwhelming flashes of bare skin on the screen sent my thoughts spiraling back to years ago. Back then, Nicholas and I had just started exploring each other's boundaries and desires.
He had whispered in my ear countless times before, "I've heard that watching and learning from others can immerse you in a sea of knowledge and bring unparalleled joy.." I still remembered how alluring his voice had been back then.
He'd even turned on the projector in his office. But I panicked the moment I saw what was playing. I had no choice but to plead with him to turn it off.
"Nicholas, turn it off...
I curled into his arms, shutting my eyes tightly. My voice trembled just like it had back then.

A large hand slid to my waist, the warmth of his touch pullingout of my spiraling thoughts.
"Ariana, open your eyes and look at this."
He opened his hand, revealing a transparent bag om his palm. Inside Inside was a small cup and a few tissues. So this was the test? It was so straightforward. I stared at him, his amused expression making my scalp tingle.
"I didn't know the test worked like this. I thought checking for depression-related genes would ΝΟΙ m involve something sophisticated, not this. And the doctor took so long to prepare!" The content is on.

Then, without warning, he pressed the bag into my hand. "Ariana helpout. Otherwise, I won't be able to fill it."
