Chapter 464
Although Mia still couldn't fully open up, constantly keeping her guard up against the world, Sarah found she
could at least communicate with her in simple ways— like asking her to draw.
Patients with psychological disorders often struggle to engage in normal
conversations during an episode, but they can express their emotions and needs through alternative means.
One common therapeutic method is to have them draw, allowing them to convey subconscious feelings and
emotions in the most direct way possible.
Every psychologist learns this technique, and Sarah had excelled in this subject, earning a perfect score in her
coursework.
Mia hesitated for a moment before glancing at Sarah with a hint of uncertainty. Slowly, she reached for the pen
on the table and began sketching on the blank sheet of paper.
The most intense moment...?
She struggled to recall such a moment in her life. But then-just recently-her brother had found the person he
loved the most.
That person was... her sister-in-law?
Absentmindedly, she began to sketch a woman's figure, and beside it, she wrote one word: sister-in-law.
Sarah froze. She couldn't understand why Mia had written that.
Mia's drawing was a pencil sketch. Like most wealthy daughters, she had been exposed to various artistic
hobbies from a young age-painting, piano, and more. Though she had never formally trained in sketching, she
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇthad learned the basics. The image on the paper depicted a woman. At first glance, it looked like Sarah.
For a brief moment, Sarah thought Mia had drawn her.
But then she noticed the ring on the woman's raised hand.
And suddenly, it clicked-she remembered seeing that exact ring during an interview with Vivian.
Sarah let out a bitter chuckle. So Mia had drawn Vivian.
Then... the sis-in-law she mentioned-was also her?
From this one drawing, everything began to fall into place.
No wonder Zachary had disregarded everything else including Mia's kidnapping -the moment Vivian appeared.
If the real "sister-in-law" in Mia's mind was Vivian, then what did that make her?
Mia remained withdrawn, curling deeper into the blanket. Sarah had already replaced the heavy quilt with
something lighter, knowing that only when wrapped up like this did Mia feel even the slightest bit of security.
Her original intent had been to gain insight into Mia's psychological state through this drawing. But now that she
had seen it, she no longer knew how to interpret it.
From the moment that woman appeared, her life had been thrown into chaos, one disaster after another.
She couldn't even describe how she felt-like someone was carving open her heart, one slow cut at a time.
At this point, she no longer had the energy for therapy.
"Mia, let's stop for today. Get srest."
Sarah locked herself in her room.
