Chapter 244 Healing Process(3)

• Dr. Thorne listened without interruption, his expression one of profound compassion, leaning forward slightly to convey his full attention. “You’re not broken, Jenna,” he assured her softly, his charming smile offering a beacon of reassurance. “What happened was a monstrous act, entirely beyond your control, but it doesn’t have to define who you are or steal your future. Especially not your sexuality—that’s a beautiful, natural part of life, meant for pleasure and connection. The most important thing is to ensure this trauma doesn’t poison that for you; we can work together to reclaim it, step by step.” His words resonated deeply, stirring a complex mix of fear at confronting those buried desires and a curious spark of hope that healing was possible.
