Mission: From Divorcee to Millionaire novel Chapter 848

Flynn shook his head.

"Mr. Everett, Ms. Selena’s had a bit too much to handle. Her brain’s gone into self-defense mode, and now she’s in her own little bubble—seeing and hearing nothing."

"I tried coaxing her to let out her emotions, but her subconscious is putting up a fight. Pushing her too hard would just make things worse."

Everett didn’t even flinch when his cigarette burned down to his fingers.

His voice was raspy, "Is there really nothing you can do?"

Callum, usually calm and composed, was now visibly worried. "Flynn, are we just supposed to sit back and watch this happen?"

Though Callum wasn’t a psychologist, he knew that all ailments have something in common. If Selena could have a big emotional release, it might actually help her start healing.

But when you feel nothing, it means those emotions are just festering inside, building up until they explode—and by then, it’s too late. That’s why folks who bottle everything up often end up depressed or burned out.

Flynn replied, "Well, there’s one thing: wait. Once Ms. Selena processes today’s mess and feels ready to let it all out, then we can start helping her."

Everett asked, "How long do we have to wait?"

Flynn squinted, "No more than three days. In the meantime, it’s best if someone close, like her kids, sticks around."

Everett snuffed out his cigarette and rubbed his face, trying to steady himself.

"Dr. Flynn, I’ll need you to stay here for a few days to keep an eye on Selena."

Flynn nodded in agreement.

Everett called Ava over, asking her to set up a guest room for Flynn and show him the way.

Ava, knowing Flynn was their best shot at helping Selena, treated him with utmost respect. Once the room was ready, she personally led him there.
