“He was an absolute angel. The young master ate dinner by
himself, finished every last grain of his risotto, and even took
his own bath. When I went to check on him, he was already in
bed reading a book.”
Roderick frowned, “His mom and I went out without him, and he
didn’t make a fuss or ask anything?”
“Nope.”
။
Roderick’s frown deepened.
Kevin was more well–behaved than other kids, but never this
good.
This was actually similar to how he acted a couple of years ago
when his mental state was really unstable.
“I understand, Kirsten. You should get some rest. Don’t wake up
so early tomorrow, I’ll have breakfast delivered.”
“It’s no trouble, really. I don’t need much sleep at my age. Let
me make it, I know your tastes best.”

Ever since Madeleine returned to normal, Kirsten had been
much happier coming to work.
That night, Madeleine clung to Roderick and wouldn’t let go.
No, that’s not right. It was Roderick’s hair.
She was also mumbling something, like “don’t lose the little
bunny I made…”
Kirsten’s Herbal Hangover Remedy Soup really worked.
Madeleine woke up the next morning feeling refreshed, with no
discomfort at all.
Of course, she had completely forgotten everything that happened after she got drunk last night.
She only remembered dancing with Roderick, getting the ring,
and the candlelight dinner. While brushing her teeth, she held
up her hand to look at the wedding ring and grinned foolishly
for a long time.
After breakfast, Roderick mentioned he’d made an appointment with a new psychologist and was planning to take Kevin to see
them today.
Chapter 118
That’s when Madeleine remembered that Kev had severe
psychological trauma. This was a serious matter that couldn’t
be ignored.
The new doctor was Mr. Eleanor, whom Roderick had found
himself. He was a top authority in the field of child psychology.
At Mr. Eleanor’s office, he first spoke with Madeleine and
Roderick privately to get a general idea of the child’s situation.
Mr. Eleanor frowned, “The child has seen a psychologist before?
Why the change?
Therapy is a process. If a trusting relationship has been built,
switching therapists is generally not recommended.”
Madeleine was at a loss for words, thinking about what Nanette
Clark had told her.
Beside her, Roderick said in a cold voice, “Her therapy showed
some results initially, but if it continued, it could have destroyed
my family.”
Mr. Eleanor was very professional and just gave a polite nod,
realizing this might be a private matter.

He then had the nurse bring the boy in.
Kevin walked quietly into the office, sat down properly in a chair,
placed his hands on his knees, and kept his back perfectly
straight.
Madeleine and Roderick couldn’t stay in the office, so a nurse
led them to the room next door, where a large screen was set
up for them to observe the boy.
“Hello, Kevin.”
Mr. Eleanor greeted him with a smile, “Can I call you Kev?”
The little guy nodded. “You can.”
After that, Mr. Eleanor didn’t ask Kevin too many questions, but
instead just chatted with him on his level for a while.
Madeleine and Roderick weren’t experts, so they couldn’t make
anything of it.
The nurse at their side remarked, “This kid is a little too well-
behaved.”
Well–behaved.
Roderick’s eye twitched. He thought about what Kirsten had

said last night and felt that something wasn’t right.
Too well–behaved. Unnaturally so.
After just over ten minutes of chatting, Mr. Eleanor had the
