Chapter 1373 The Wedding Mishap (VIII)

• Samantha Wembley had asked Donnie Burns to help her find a top child psychologist who’d just come back from advanced study overseas. After listening to her, the doctor frowned, thought for a beat, and said, “This isn’t actually that complicated. For kids—especially boys—a father’s presence while they grow up is essential. If it’s missing, it can seriously affect their personality and leave big gaps in healthy, positive emotions. And here’s the key: the boy believes your divorce is his fault. He’s carrying guilt. Even healthy adults often feel powerless about what’s happening around them and slip into depression. A child has even less idea how to vent that. Add the missing father figure in his early years—he’s extra sensitive. So he’s going to struggle even more to let this go.”
• The doctor went on with a steady stream of professional analysis, then summed up: “My advice is supportive treatment with hypnosis, medication, and counseling. But the core fix is for the boy to spend more time with his father—ideally go live with him for a while. Repair the parent-child bond, let him work through the knot in his chest step by step, and help him slowly get back to a normal life.”
• Maybe the doctor really was speaking from years of experience, and it did sound practical. Even Samantha herself couldn’t think of a better way. But here’s the problem: Chadwick Fullner and Madison Sawyer are married now. They love each other. Is it even possible to bring Chadwick back into her and Finn’s life?
