My Beloved Has Risen from Death's Embrace novel Chapter 442

At the Lockwood Family's private clinic, Dr. Fabian had spent three long days conducting psychological suggestions and counseling for Orion, but the boy remained silent.

Just when everyone was at their wit's end, fearing Orion might become mute again, he clutched the charred half of a photograph in his hand and murmured softly, "I don't want scars."

He was afraid that scars would frighten Xannie.

"Fabian, how's it Ori? Is he still not talking?"

"He spoke, and I think I've found the crux of his psychological issue."

"The crux?"

"Rather than the guilt of accidentally causing someone's death, he's terrified of having scars on his face and body. These scars not only constantly remind him of the painful memories of abuse but also instill a deep sense of inferiority and insecurity in him. Over time, this could lead to him developing antisocial behaviors or even becoming reclusive. Healing his mind starts with removing those scars."

"Chairman. When I was studying abroad in Mystoria, I learned about one of the world's most advanced laser skin resurfacing surgeries. It uses lasers to completely remove burn scars from the face, and with the help of new medications, it promotes skin regeneration. It could take just a few months for a complete recovery.

Given Orion's young age and superior skin regeneration capabilities compared to adults, this treatment couldn't be more suitable. It'd be a significant improvement over the traditional therapies that take much longer."

"That's great! I'll get in touch with the hospital in Mystoria right away. We'll spare no expense to get Ori the treatment he needs!"

"But," Fabian hesitated for a moment, "while the facial scars are treatable, the ones on his body have been there too long, especially since some are too close to vital organs. I suggest conventional treatment for those. As he grows, they'll fade."

"Alright."

Theodore and Orion took a private jet to Mystoria that very night.
