Justin woke up on the couch after two hours of sleep. He opened his eyes and saw Rosalie playing with Steve on the bed. When she saw him awake, Rosalie smiled and looked at him. "Justin, you're awake. I thought you'd sleep a bit longer." "That's enough," Justin said as he went to the bathroom to wash his face.

Afterward, he picked up Steve from Rosalie's side. "Rose, would you like to go for a walk? It must be stifling in the ward."

"Justin, how about having the doctor assess my mental state?"

Hearing this, Justin seemed a bit puzzled. "Are you willing?"

Rosalie nodded. "Yes. I was a bit resistant before, but after thinking it through, I've changed my mind."

"Are you sure?"

"Yes. I think if there's something wrong, it should be addressed. After all, I still have Steve to take care of. I can't just push through it."

Seeing how serious Rosalie was, Justin knew she had truly thought it through. "Alright, I'll go find the doctor."

About half an hour later, a psychiatrist walked into the room. The doctor needed to speak to Rosalie alone, so Justin took Steve out for a walk. Around 40 minutes later, Rosalie called Justin, and he returned. The doctor had already left, and only Rosalie was in the room.

"Rosalie, are you okay?"

Rosalie nodded. "Yes, I'm fine. Don't worry."
