The feedback from the psychologist wasn't ideal.
Lucas's heart was too closed off, and few could truly get through to him. Even fewer could leave once they tried.
He held grudges terribly, remembering every little thing from childhood to adulthood, everything clear in his mind.
I didn't know what his memories contained that made the doctor so helpless.
"From my observations, his psychological trauma mainly stems from his childhood and adolescence. Childhood wounds are difficult to heal."
The doctor regretfully told me, "We can only assist."
"Those dark and painful memories, ultimately, he needs to overcome them on his own."
I tightly clenched my bag and softly said, "Thank you."
I didn't know what he went through as a child, and Lucas didn't want to tell me, nor did I ask.
But after every psychological intervention, he would be very upset.
Several nights, I would wake up in the middle of the night, feeling the warmth still left in the bedding beside me.
Sitting up from the bed, I'd see him leaning on the balcony railing, gazing into the dark night sky.
His fingers holding a cigarette, not smoking it, just letting it release a faint haze.
I slid out of bed and hugged his waist from behind.
"Let's stop seeing the doctor."
"It's fine."
He extinguished the cigarette, turned around, and said, "Just a little upset, nothing major."
"But the therapy is making you unhappy."
I snuggled up to his shoulder.
"I don't think your current nature is bad. I want you to see a doctor so that you can be a little happier."
"But now you're unhappy... Let's not go anymore."
I gently touched his cheek, forcing a natural smile.
"Let the painful things go, let's not think about them."
"No matter who you are, I will always be with you."
I held his hand and placed it on my chest, letting him feel my heartbeat.
I didn't know what he had experienced before coming to my family.
I only knew that every time he was forced to recall those painful memories, he felt deeply sad.
If healing his psychological wounds required constantly bringing up the pain of childhood, tearing apart those painful memories like peeling off rotten flesh, then forget it.
I didn't want him to suffer.
