My Mommy’s Brave Heart (Adina and Duke) novel Chapter 420

Chapter 420

He glanced at the note. It was an English name, Catherine. He remembered it now. It had been at his mother’s birthday party a few days ago. Catherine had sent someone over to deliver the birthday gift, so he added Catherine as a Facebook friend.

He had sent someone to check on Catherine’s background a long time ago. She was already a well-known psychiatrist overseas, despite her young age. It was said that she could be ranked in the top three when it came to this line of work in Australia.

Duke thought about it for a moment before he finally clicked on the chat box to message Catherine.

He sent her a greeting emoji. She quickly replied, “I thought you had deleted me, Mr. Winters. Turns out that you hadn’t.”

“I have a friend who wants some consultation on a mental health issue.”

Duke pondered over it for quite a while before he sent that message to her.

In the next second, Catherine sent a smiley face over with a witty message. “Many people who come to me for a consultation begin with the phrase, I have a friend.”

Duke did not know how to reply to that.

He suddenly felt a little awkward. Talking about such a private subject with a stranger he had never met before did not seem like a good idea.

Catherine said, “I am a psychiatrist. I have seen all kinds of situations. You don’t need to hesitate, Mr. Winters. You can share your story with me in detail. I maintain confidentiality for every patient.”

Duke said, “My friend’s girlfriend seems to have a fear of intimacy. What can he do to help her overcome it?” Catherine said, “If it is something that she doesn’t like to do, he can watch more movies with intimate scenes with her. If she was traumatized by some incident that happened in the past, she will need to consult a professional psychiatrist and undergo therapy.”

Adina got up earlier on weekdays and an hour later on weekends.

The sun shone in from the balcony. She drew the blanket over her head and went back to sleep.

“Bam bam bam!” There was a loud banging on the door from downstairs all of a sudden.
