He Clings to Me Every Night - Chapter 645
Chapter 645: Chapter 645: Show Sincerity
Daniel Marshall took in everything the psychologist said.
Daniel’s eyes involuntarily squinted, his pupils contracted, and his facial expression twitched somewhat.
There were also surging emotions within Daniel.
The three primary symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder noted by the psychologist, he had them all.
Especially in the first year after Charmy Bennett’s death, he often suffered from insomnia and nightmares, always recalling the horrible state in which she died. His mind was filled as if with blood, and he often wished he could go back to before the accident, preferring that he was the one hit by the car…
During that period, his only solace was alcohol.
Only when he was drunk could he forget the pain and fall asleep.
Even when his grandfather advised him to have a child, he mentally convinced himself with various excuses. He fancied that he could live happily with Olivia Jenkins without children, which was a sign of his avoidance behavior.
Every time he thought of Charmy’s gruesome state in the accident, he would feel utterly devastated, terrified that Olivia might leave him in the same way… This was a symptom of traumatic re-experiencing.
Before he met Olivia, he thought he was quite fine and seldom recalled the pain of the past. He thought he could live a normal life until Olivia was forced to have children. The constant mention of children in their lives brought the painful memories of the past vividly back into his mind; he couldn’t shake them off, and they accompanied him to this very day.
Actually, he felt very helpless. He didn’t want it to be like this, but he couldn’t escape it.
He was always in turmoil, sometimes distressed. As a result, he felt that Olivia didn’t trust him, like she was forcing him…
Daniel was silent for a long time. Martin Wallace was very worried about him, so he patted him on the shoulder and comforted, “You should be clear about your situation now. Don’t worry, we will all help you, accompany you. With the help of a psychologist, you can certainly overcome this, everything will be fine.”
“Thank you!” Daniel’s hand patted Martin’s hand lightly, as if telling him he was okay.
Then, Daniel picked up his pen and started to fill out the form seriously.
Martin felt uncomfortable, an indescribable feeling in his heart.
All these years, they had watched how Daniel coped, hoping that he would find some luck.
They thought that after he was married everything would get better, that he could find happiness, and have someone by his side. They didn’t expect his situation to get worse, it was too harsh on him, and couldn’t help feeling pity for him.
Having known Daniel for so many years, whether it was dealing with the Marshall Family affairs, in the business world, or even in his marriage, it wasn’t easy for Daniel. Hopefully, after overcoming this hurdle, he can be peaceful and smooth in the future.
After Daniel finished filling out the form, he handed it to Martin. His deep eyes were unblinking as he stared at Martin, his hoarse voice serious, “I agree to undergo therapy. Let me deal with Olivia, we should face it ourselves. This time, I won’t back down.”
“Great! I’ll give this form to the psychologist tonight, and first get his opinion. You know everything now, so you should be mentally prepared. As a brother, I’ve seen it all and don’t want you to live apart. I will help to convince Olivia to let go of the idea of separating.”
A hint of relief appeared on Daniel’s face along with a soft smile, “Martin, thank you. I know you are looking out for me. Sometimes, I just can’t control my temper when I am angry, which leads to inappropriate words.
As for the issues between Olivia and me, don’t intervene anymore. Whether it’s separation or anything else, it’s between her and me. I don’t want her to misunderstand me anymore, and it’s time for me to demonstrate my sincerity.”
