Chapter 33 It was a Thursday , and Sebastian had the day off . In the afternoon , he decided to book an appointment with a psychiatrist at Silver Pine Hospital , a distance away from the Slate City Medical Center . It was a district away and located near the Uptown District . After all , everyone in the Slate City Medical Center knew who Sebastian was . He was a rising star among his generation , and the hospital had marketed him as such . Hence , it was inevitable that his peers would recognize him . After all , going to see a psychiatrist wasn't embarrassing , as a lot of people suffered from mental health issues . Once it was time for his turn , Sebastian stood by the door and smiled self - deprecatingly . He finally understood why patients would avoid seeing a psychiatrist . He did not want to spill everything in his mind to a stranger , but he had no other choice . So , he pushed open the door and walked in . The psychiatrist was a woman . Gladys Garcia was her name . Gladys had asked him a few questions , to which he explained the issues he had been recently struggling with . Looking at him , she asked , " Do you like her ? Your first love , I mean . " With a slight frown , he fell into silence , not answering her question . Gladys looked at the man in front of her . Although he wore a mask , judging from the way he carried himself , she could tell he came from money . She could also tell he was quite good - looking and never had much of a problem with women . " If you don't like her , does that mean you decided to get together with her because of some other reasons , or perhaps out of obligation ? " Although Gladys had phrased it as a question , Sebastian instinctively got defensive . " Let's change the topic . " Looking at him , she commented with a smile , " You think she's fat , not pretty , and not worthy to be with you . However , you had no choice but to go out with her . So , do you think dating her is humiliating for you ? " " I didn't … " Sebastian frowned . " Did you feel relieved after breaking up with her ? " His expression darkened . " Rephrase your question . " Chapter 33 2/3 " Who initiated the breakup ? " He took a deep breath and fell silent . Gladys gave him a knowing smile and continued , " Then , tell me . What type of person was she ? What was your relationship with her like ? " Sebastian gave it some thought before he answered hoarsely , " She's quite stupid . When she was living with her relatives , she spent an entire week without eating anything , and she nearly fainted just because she wanted to rescue a stray cat with a broken leg . " She froze , not expecting such an answer . So , she added , " So , she's a kind woman ? " Sebastian snorted , but he did not deny it . Instead , he continued , " She was a quiet person , rarely sharing with me what was happening in her life . Although I did not enter the relationship willingly , we had been together for a long time . " Her presence did not throw off the balance I had in my life , so I allowed her to stay with me . However , she wouldn't reach out if I didn't contact her first . Being with her felt no different than being alone . She would not rely on me , flirt with me , or disturb me . Except when we were intimate with each other , we didn't feel like a couple at all . " She was the one who initiated the breakup . Honestly , I didn't really care much back then , but I wouldn't have minded staying with her . However , it was up to her . She would want to adopt every stray she saw by the road . She would also stop to watch the ants carry their food back to their nest and even take her phone out to record it . " She would do everything I ask of her . Even when she was crying hard , she'd stop if I asked her to . She'd look ridiculous as she tried to hold her tears in . " I suggested we keep our relationship a secret , but she took the suggestion to heart . " Every time I inched closer to her when our schoolmates were nearby , she'd be much more afraid of being caught than I was . I wasn't as nice as she thought I was , and I never put on an act in front of her . " Sometimes , she would look at me nervously or with fear in her eyes . However , she'd always hug me , almost as if she were trying to comfort me . Wasn't that stupid of her ? " She would never wear the things I bought her . She wouldn't even accept the expensive ones . When she did , she would keep them inside her suitcase . I would tell her those gifts weren't expensive , but she wouldn't believe me . " When we broke up , she returned everything I had given her , even though she didn't have a lot of money on her . Her jeans were so worn , they'd turned white , but she'd never accept my money or my gifts . " She's also super hardworking . Although she was stupid , she was so much more determined than anyone else . I watched as her grades and rankings slowly improved . " She works so much harder than anyone else , and I have never seen someone with that much motivation in them . Did you know that our SAT had the hardest maths and physics questions in Chapter 33 years to come ? 3/3 " Yet , despite all that , during all three mock tests , she was only eight to 25 marks away from qualifying for Stredview University . I don't know how she managed to improve so much within a week . " In truth , Sebastian had made such a request because he wanted to make things hard for Jane . Gladys observed him . He was a prideful man , but his feelings were a complete mess . He claimed he didn't like his first love , but he would get upset when she returned the gifts he had given him . He had called her stupid , yet he claimed he had never seen anyone who worked harder than her . Claiming that he felt nothing toward Jane , he still could recall many details from when they were together . Maybe attraction often began with one's looks . Whether it was lust or love at first sight , both parties needed to spend time together before they could understand their partners .
