The Coldest Man in the Room Melted Only for Me novel Chapter 144

The woman was wildly delusional and completely immune to reason. In the past, Riley just found her frustrating. But now, with her own marriage destroyed by Seraphina, encountering an unapologetic homewrecker triggered a deep, visceral revulsion in her.

'Doctor, do you remember me?'

How could she forget someone with such a twisted moral compass?

Riley typed back: 'Yes, I do. Have your symptoms improved at all?'

'Yes, much better! His wife finally knows about me. I think they'll be filing for divorce very soon. My happily ever after is finally here.'

Riley had been asking about her mental health, but the woman had responded with an update on her affair. Now that her secret was out, instead of feeling any shame for tearing a family apart, the mistress was gloating, eagerly awaiting her promotion to wife.

Riley was absolutely appalled by the woman's warped mindset. Perhaps because her own life had been upended, she couldn't help but see Seraphina in this patient.

She wondered if Seraphina sat around like this, giddily counting down the days until the divorce was finalized so she could claim the title of Mrs. Landon.

People who invaded marriages, shattered lives, and forced children to grow up in broken homes were despicable. How could they sleep so soundly at night?

The more she thought about it, the angrier she became.

She had the overwhelming urge to reach through the monitor, grab the patient by the shoulders, and shake some sense into her.

But she was a professional. A therapist was supposed to maintain strict boundaries and never project their personal trauma onto their clients.

Riley banished the chaotic thoughts and forced her fingers over the keys: 'Even if he divorces her and marries you, do you really believe you'll be happy? Has it ever occurred to you that a man willing to betray his wife could just as easily betray you one day?'

'Doctor, are you jealous of me or something?'

Reading the reply on the screen, Riley almost let out a bitter laugh.
