He seemed to find it hard to disclose.
After a long while, he said with difficulty, “I… I am in love with my sister.”
“Puff…”
Gallon spurted out the tea.
“Sorry, sorry…”
He quickly grabbed the handkerchief on the table to wipe it and coughed awkwardly. As a doctor, he forced himself to calm down. “You mean… your biological sister?”
“Yes, she has been living away since birth and was only brought back home some time ago.”
“It’s normal for you to love your sister.” Gallon was ashamed of what he had thought just now.
Behind the screen, Sheldon said, “It’s not the love between brothers and sisters, but… the kind of love between men and women. When I see her, I want to hold her hand, hug her, and even kiss her…”
He seemed to be too embarrassed to continue.
Gallon’s mouth twitched.
Oh my god…
“Mr. S, you and your sister are blood relatives. You hadn’t seen each other for many years. You are attracted to her, perhaps because of family affection. This feeling is strange to you, so you are mistaking family affection for love between the opposite sex.”
Sheldon became even more confused as he listened. “Is that correct? So, what should I do now?”
Gallon sat upright and said, “I suggest you listen to your heart. If you really like her, then chase her with confidence.”
“Chase her?” Sheldon was startled and almost knocked over the teacup in his hand. His voice turned cold. “Are you kidding me?”
“No.” Gallon looked solemnly. “The more you suppress your feeling, the stronger it will become, and in the end, it will turn into an obsession, which will make you physically and mentally exhausted. It is better to face it head-on. Maybe in the process, you will find that your urge to get close to your sister is only your need for family affection.”
It seemed… to make sense.
Sheldon frowned. Although he still had doubts, there was no other way it seemed.
“Doctor, maybe you are right. I will try this way.”
In the evening, Gallon returned to the apartment and found that Claire was sitting at the door holding her knees. Her body was curled into a small ball, with her chin resting on her knees. She was playing with her phone in boredom.
“Why didn’t you tell me you were coming over?”
“I called you.” Claire stood up and patted the dust on her butt.
Gallon seldom went out, so she wouldn’t tell him in advance she was going to come to his place.
“I was busy, so I turned off my phone.” Gallon took out the key from his pocket.
He opened the door and they entered the house.
Claire took off her shoes and lay crookedly on the sofa. “Where did you go?”
“Went to see a patient.” Gallon opened the refrigerator and glanced at the leftovers inside.
Claire narrowed her eyes slightly. “Aren’t you not seeing any patients?”
“I can’t help it. I recently invested in a project, so I was short of money.”
Claire smiled. “I can lend you money.”
Gallon turned around and shrugged at her. “You know, I don’t like debt.”
This was true.
Claire asked him casually. “What project?”
“Time Machine.”
“Are you crazy?” Claire instantly sat up from the sofa, frowning and staring at Gallon. “Have you been fooled?”
Time Machine?
What a joke.
“I’m a psychiatrist. How can I be deceived? By the way, do you know what kind of patient I met today?” Gallon suddenly got excited and ran to sit down opposite Claire.
“What patient?” Claire wasn’t quite interested and turned her attention back to her phone.
“That patient fell in love with his sister! Is he a beast?!”
“Um.” Claire was expressionless. “So how did you treat him?”
“I told him to chase her.”
