Chapter: 992

"Would you like some warm water?

Since you are Clara's friend, then you can consider me as your friend too. Although we're in my office, you don't have to treat me as a doctor. Don't be nervous, okay? You can say whatever you want to say as long as you feel comfortable."

Yes, the reason why Rachel called Clara this morning was to ask for help in making an appointment with the best psychologist she knew. It was not that Rachel didn't know any. In fact, the headquarters of the Red Hackers had hired some professional psychologists. It was just not convenient to go there at this moment. She urgently needed a psychologist. Therefore, she asked Clara for help.

It just so happened that Justin thought Rachel was the patient, so she corrected, "Dr. Hall, I think you misunderstood me." Her tone was always cold, giving people a sense of alienation.

“It's not me who wants to see you. It's him."

Justin was stunned.

Joey, who had been fidgeting with Rachel's fingers, was also taken aback. He raised his head and glanced at Justin right away.

"I'm sorry. I thought you were the person Clara told me about."

Justin immediately came to his senses and apologized. Although he was surprised, he had seen a lot of patients who needed psychological help. As a psychologist, it was his job to help patients with their problems. He was known to be one of the best in the field of psychotherapy at home.

"Mommy?" Joey looked at Rachel in confusion. Rachel said she was going to see her friend. Why did he seem to be the center of their discussion? He clenched Rachel's finger unconsciously.

Noticing the uneasy expression on his face, Rachel withdrew her hand, squatted down, and looked at him.

"Joe, would you like to speak to this uncle alone? Mommy's going to wait for you outside."

"No..." Joey frowned almost immediately and shook his head. He finally understood what was going on. This person wasn't his mother's friend, but a psychologist she found for him.

The little child felt so upset the moment he realized his mother's intentions.

He disliked seeing doctors and hated to stay with people he considered strangers.

Rachel was well aware of Joey's personality, so she didn't inform him that she had taken him to see a psychologist. But now she realized that it was probably a big mistake to hide the truth.

"Joe, you do know it's necessary for you to see a doctor, don't you?"

Rachel gently soothed his forehead with her thumb.

Joey pressed his lips into a thin line, his eyelashes trembling.

Despite hearing Rachel's words, he remained silent.

In fact, he knew that he needed to see a doctor.

The day after the car accident happened, Lukas noticed that Joey couldn't sleep well and his face was pale. He was clearly traumatized by the car accident and the gunshot. Even though the little boy pretended to be an adult at times, he was still a child. He would still get scared and couldn't remain calm when confronted with gunshot, blood, and danger at close range. Even adults were scared to witness something so horrible.

After that, Lukas told Victor about Joey's condition, and Victor arranged for Joey to be counseled by a psychologist.

However, Joey didn't like the idea at all.

He pretended to be fine, but deep down, he didn't want to see the psychologist any longer. He acted obedient and cooperative with the psychologist, but he refused to reveal his genuine feelings. He never mentioned his recurring nightmares in front of them. He even made
