It wasn’t that she didn’t want to take legal responsibility.
But the thought of the person who hurt her son still getting
away with it made her feel like she couldn’t breathe.
While getting ready, Madeleine glanced at her phone. Nanette
had escalated things, creating a social media account to
continuously smear her.
It was clear Roderick’s side was spending a lot of money to
suppress the news. Anything mentioning her name or showing
her photo was taken down as soon as it appeared.
Even so, the whole affair was causing a huge stir.
Madeleine wasn’t a public figure, and with Roderick’s
protection, there was no risk of her being bullied.
But it was a different story for the corporation.
An incident like this would definitely affect the company’s
normal operations and its stock price.
Madeleine ran her hands through her hair in frustration.

“No, no, pull yourself together. I have to take Kev for his hypnosis session soon.”
The appointment with Mr. Eleanor was at ten in the morning.
Bradley and Rebecca had heard the news and came over too.
The four of them stood guard outside the door, their presence
so intimidating that the nurses didn’t dare walk down the
hallway.
Only one parent could go in, and without a doubt, it had to be
Madeleine, the mother.
Inside the room, the light was soft and the temperature was
pleasant. Kevin lay on a comfortable little bed, his small hand
tightly gripping Madeleine’s. After a moment, afraid he was
squeezing too hard, he loosened his grip a little.
“Don’t be scared, Kev.”
Madeleine gently stroked his hair. “Mommy will be with you the
whole time. We’ll just listen to the doctor, okay?”
“Mm, okay, Mommy.”
Mr. Eleanor sat to the side, his voice gentle and steady. “Kev, in
a little while, I’m going to help you relax, just like you’re having a

dream. But you can wake up at any time during the process. If
you feel uncomfortable, just open your eyes, okay?”
Kevin pressed his lips together and nodded slightly.
The hypnosis began.
Mr. Eleanor guided him into a state of relaxation, using simple
words a child could understand to gently communicate and
soothe him. His voice was soft and gentle, and he quickly
brought Kevin to the optimal state for hypnosis.
Mr. Eleanor snapped his fingers. Instantly, Kevin’s eyelids,
which had been still as his breathing steadied, began to flutter
slightly.
Madeleine held his hand and could feel his eyelids trembling.
“Kevin, now tell me, what do you see.”
Kevin’s brow suddenly furrowed. “Mr. Osborn… took me to the
office…”
The little guy’s voice was trembling. His breathing grew rapid, and fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead. His small hand clutched Madeleine’s finger tightly, as if he were
struggling.

“And then?
What did Mr. Osborn say when he took you to the office?”
Kevin’s body suddenly tensed up, his voice choked with sobs,
“…So dark… I called for Mommy… no one heard me…”
Tears welled up in the corners of his eyes. His small body
trembled slightly, as if he were reliving some terrible memory.
Madeleine couldn’t hold back anymore. She leaned over and
gently hugged him, whispering soothingly, “Kev, don’t be scared.
Mommy’s here, Mommy’s here…

Kevin’s eyelashes fluttered, but he didn’t wake up, as if trapped
in a nightmare he couldn’t escape.
Seeing this, Mr. Eleanor softened his voice. “Kev, you’re safe
now. No one can hurt you.
Take a deep breath, and slowly relax…”
Kevin’s breathing gradually steadied, but tears continued to
slide silently down his cheeks.
Madeleine’s heart was in a knot. She wished she could stop the
hypnosis immediately, but she knew that only by having Kev
