My Husband, Warm The Bed novel Chapter 1479

A psychiatrist?

A young and beautiful psychiatrist...

Vanessa thought, "Would such a young doctor be able to help Lawrie?"

As if she could read Vanessa's thoughts, Joey smiled and nonchalantly said, "Miss Love, if you have any doubts about my competence, you could talk it over with me, so you wouldn't worry about it later on."

"Oh, that's not the case..." With just a single glance, Joey had seen right through Vanessa. Vanessa smiled awkwardly and said, "Dr. Joey, Lawrie is an introverted child. He's quite shy. Just try to be gentle with him."

Joey nodded in understanding. "Miss Love, to ease Lawrie's psychological stress, do refrain from referring to me as 'Dr. Joey'. Joey is just fine. It's much friendlier and allows me to carry out my work more comfortably."

Vanessa smiled and said, "Sure, Joey! Call me Vanessa too. Thank you for what you'd be doing for Lawrie."

Joey reached out and shook Vanessa's hand, "Nice to meet you, Vanessa!"

After greeting each other, Joey said, "Helping Lawrie is no trouble at all, Vanessa. We'll have to work hard together. My job is rather simple actually. I just chat with the child, and with their parents. The most important piece of the puzzle though, is the cooperation shown by the child's parent."

Vanessa earnestly said, "Joey, if there's anything I can help you with, just let me know. I'll do my best to cooperate."

Joey said with a smile, "I'm relieved to hear that."

Vanessa added, "Lawrie's my kid. It's my greatest wish for him to grow up healthily, both physically and mentally. So, how could I not cooperate?"

Joey explained, "A child's growth is closely related to the people closest to him. So, talking to people around him will help reveal any issues or problems he may be facing. That's why I won't be talking to Lawrie today. Instead, I'm talking to you."

Vanessa happily accepted that. "What do you want to talk about?"

Joey asked, "Do you like Lawrie's father?"

The first question asked was heart-piercing. It left Vanessa at a loss for an answer.

Could she tell Joey that Lawrie was an accident?

Could she tell Joey that she did not even know who Lawrie's father was?

Could she tell Joey that she hated Lawrie's father with so much rage that she wanted to tear his skin off alive?

No way. She could not do that.

Vanessa did not want the skeletons in her closet to be exposed and scrutinized by others. She did not want others to look at her as if she was a monster.
