Chapter 45 Exchanging Little Secrets

• Jason's situation is not the main cause of Carol's distress. This incident triggered her childhood trauma, which is why she experienced nightmares. Additionally, Bob's presence might have also contributed to her distress.
• Carol gazed at the ceiling, lost in thought as memories instantly transported her back to the past. During her younger years, she believed she was happy. However, at some point, her father began to change. He was frequently absent from home, sometimes for extended periods.
• When she was ten years old, she returned home and accidentally stumbled upon her father and another woman engaging in intimate activities in the study room, both completely naked. She was too afraid to tell her mother, and this incident marked the beginning of her trauma.
