The unwanted wife’s unexpected comeback

Chapter 843:

As Gemma stepped out of the room, she passed by nurses hustling through their tasks. A wave of empathy washed over her, and she suddenly felt that sometimes, the medical staff’s impatience and detachment weren’t entirely unacceptable. After all, they might just be too tired, not that they were unfriendly.

Gemma then second-guessed the idea of reporting that doctor.

Alicia’s insomnia had gotten worse again. She couldn’t pinpoint the cause—maybe emotional stress—but even her usual medication wasn’t helping this time. Realizing that she couldn’t keep going like this, she finally made an appointment at the hospital.

When she arrived, she handed the doctor her case file.

“This is my previous assessment from a hospital in another city, Xada.”

The doctor took the file, flipping through it, his brow furrowing slightly.

“This type of case is rather unusual,” he remarked, his tone one of mild disbelief.

Alicia let out a nervous laugh.

“I thought it might be. That’s why I’m here — I want to make sure it wasn’t a misdiagnosis.”noveldrama

The doctor looked up at her, his gaze lingering a little longer than necessary.

“Could it be that you have unrealistic expectations from your partner?” he asked, raising an eyebrow.

Alicia’s mind immediately went to Caden. He was a great guy, no doubt about it, but for her, finding the right person meant connecting on a much deeper level. She had yet to meet anyone who truly made her heart race.

After a beat, Alicia made her decision. She wanted to conduct another assessment.

Later, when Caden heard Alicia had been at the hospital for a while, he decided to visit. But when he arrived, Alicia had already left. He looked at the psychologist’s information by the door, his expression turning slightly puzzled.

With determination, he knocked and stepped into the office.

“What’s wrong with Alicia?” he asked bluntly, his voice full of urgency.

Caden was the most influential figure at the hospital, and his position as a major shareholder gave him immense power. No doctor in this hospital, no matter how prestigious, could refuse his requests. So when he demanded Alicia’s medical records, the doctor complied without question.

As Caden flipped through the files, his gaze sharpened. The diagnosis before him was something he’d never expected to see. His eyes narrowed, and his expression grew tense. The doctor noticed the shift and quickly reassured him, “Mr. Ward, I know this might seem concerning at first, but let me explain. The situation is a bit complicated. To put it simply, Alicia is dealing with unresolved physical desires, which has led to severe neurotic behavior and chronic insomnia. This lack of sleep has, in turn, triggered several other issues. She came to me seeking a treatment plan to address all of this.”

Caden’s heart sank at the mention of Alicia’s struggles with sleep. He sighed, his thoughts drifting to his own sleepless nights. It had been two years since he’d had a good rest, ever since his life had spiraled into chaos. He had tried everything — pills, therapy, even meditation — but nothing worked.

What struck him most was the mention of “unresolved physical desires.” His ears perked up as he tried to make sense of it.

“Are you saying she’s dealing with sexual dysfunction?” Caden asked, his voice heavy with concern.

The doctor hesitated for a moment before responding.
