Chapter 1334

The Light

The psychologist Luke contacted was Dr. Kaye.

She used to be Sasha’s teacher, but she had just retired not long ago.

She had returned to Avenport a year ago after her retirement. Now that she had no more commitments,
Luke figured she would be the best candidate for the job. Yet little did he know, Dr. Kaye actually knew
Solomon before this.

She used to be best friends with Heather, and since the latter adopted Solomon, Dr. Kaye knew him
since he was a kid.

Back when Solomon was young, she had always attended to him whenever he fell ill.

The old doctor was brought over in secret to the topmost floor of Hayes Corporation. She felt pity for
the young man and sighed when she saw him again. He was resting on the couch, curled into a ball
like a little boy. His eyes were closed tightly on his pale face, as if he had yet to come to terms with the
trauma.

“Poor Solomon. Things must have been tough for him.”

Everyone looked down in silence upon the doctor’s words.

Ichika, who had been beside Solomon all this while, whipped her curious head toward the old woman
when she heard her.

“What do you mean by that, Dr. Kaye? Did something happen to him before this?”

Young, she may be, but Ichika was able to tell there was more to what she knew about Solomon.



Dr. Kaye nodded her head and walked over to check on Solomon. “Little Bean?”

Little Bean?

Did she just call a grown-up “Little Bean?”

He’s Hayes Corporation’s president!

Everyone fell into an awkward silence.

Even Ichika looked at the doctor in disbelief.

To everyone’s surprise, Solomon responded to that term of endearment. Solomon was known for being
a lofty man. Sometimes, he would even ignore his colleagues and Ichika when they called him.

He had not moved ever since he came over to the couch, but when he heard that name, he opened his
eyes immediately. Solomon turned around slowly, pinning his gaze on the person who called out to
him.

“You’re… Dr. Kaye?”

“Yeah, it’s me, Solomon. The last time I saw you was when Ms. Blackwood brought you to see me for a
health check. When was it again? Before you went to university? It’s been a long time, hasn’t it?”

Dr. Kaye flashed him a familiar and gentle smile. For a moment, Solomon felt he had traveled back in
time to years ago when he last saw the doctor.

That was a long time ago.

This brought back fond memories. The man, who had been curled up on the couch, looked at the
woman who was smiling at him warmly and finally felt he could let down his guard.



Life seemed so good ten years ago. That was his happiest moment—the most blissful moment of his
life.

It warmed his heart, reminiscing about that phase of his life.

The old lady looked at Solomon and her smile widened. “Do you remember now?”

“Yes…”

Solomon’s voice was hoarse after keeping silent for so long.

Everyone around him was relieved to see that Solomon had finally come around.

Ichika was especially agitated. She leaned closer and took a good look at Solomon. “Are you all right,
Mr. Akiyama?”

Everyone could tell from the young woman’s sweet voice and concerned face that she cared deeply for
Solomon. She sounded over the moon when Solomon finally opened up to someone, yet no one
expected Solomon’s reaction when he saw her.

His face darkened even before she could finish the sentence.

He glared at her and shouted, “Get out!”

Solomon’s severe tone gave her a jolt.

She jerked when he suddenly raised his voice. Incipient tears welled up in her almond-shaped eyes
and she looked like she was about to cry.

“Mr. Akiyama…”



Luke stepped forward and tugged on the young woman when he sensed things were going out of
control. “I think it’s best we leave first, Ms. Minamoto.”

He caught her by the arm and pulled her out of the room.

Everyone else followed suit. Soon enough, the room fell back into total silence.

People at the company were curious about what happened after that since there was dead silence for
the rest of the day. Yet despite finding it odd, they were relieved that nothing else major happened after
that.

The only minor hiccup was that Luke had to appease Ichika and explain to her that leaving Solomon
alone with the doctor was the best solution after they got out of the office.

The young woman came to terms with it and waited obediently outside the room for the whole
afternoon.

When evening came, Sabrina arrived from Jadeborough. She had rushed over the moment she found
out what took place. Upon reaching, she hurried over to the president’s office but was stopped at the
door.

“What’s going on? Didn’t the doctor come? I thought they already sent for the best psychologist in
Jadeborough? Is there a problem?”

Sabrina had gotten all the updates from Sebastian while she was making her way to the company.
When she saw the door was shut, she showered the people outside with a litany of questions because
she thought everything should be back to normal by now.

Ichika stood up and explained everything to calm her down.



“Don’t worry about it, Sabrina. The doctor is already inside. She knows Mr. Akiyama. He’ll be okay.”

“I see… That’s great.”

Sabrina could finally heave a sigh of relief.

After about two hours, everyone got off work at the company when night fell. At last, the door to the
president’s office swung open.

“How are you feeling, Solomon?”

“Are you okay, Mr. Akiyama?”

“Mr. George…”

Those who had been waiting outside all this while were worried sick when they saw Solomon again, but
seeing him in person dispelled all concern they had.

When Solomon appeared again, he had freshened up and was looking his best in his suit and gold-
frame glasses. He had returned to his normal self as if nothing had happened at all.

“I’m fine. Sorry for putting all of you through this. You all should call it a day and go home to rest.”

He spoke evenly to them and nodded slightly.

Everyone rested easy when they finally felt assured. Ichika smiled the brightest when she got to see
Solomon again.
