“Your situation isn’t the same as Abel’s,” Waylon said. “He had to use the drug because his life depended on it, while you wanted it because you made a wrong decision. You’ll need to let the relationship go yourself. If I dispense the drug to anyone who wants to be free of a relationship, many jilted lovers will find me for revenge!”

Looks like he’s not going to give me the drug. Janic thought.

Seeing that Janie seemed down, Waylon said, “That’s how some relationships are. You’re not always going to find someone who would love you back. You need to let it go.”

Janie forced a smile and said, “I didn’t expect you to be a counselor, Mr. Adelmar. You look so cold and aloof.”

Waylon smiled. “It’s all because of Emmeline.”

“What did you say behind my back?” Emmeline came in through the door.

“Nothing. Ms. Eastwood and I are praising you,” Waylon said as he went over to lead Emmeline to a chair.

“You’re praising me?” Emmeline widened her eyes. She did not believe what Waylon told her.

Did I do something deserving of praise?

“Yeah, I said that you’re pretty. I didn’t manage to say anything more than that,” Waylon said.

“Really?” Emmeline touched her cheeks.
