My Beloved Has Risen from Death’s Embrace

CHAPTER 442

At the Lockwood Family’s private clinic, Dr. Fabian had spent three long days conducting psychological suggestions and counseling for Orion, but the boy remained silent. 

Just when everyone was at their wit’s end, fearing Orion might become mute again, he clutched the charred half of a photograph in his hand and murmured softly don’t want scars.” 

He was afraid that scars would frighten Xannie. Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.

“Fabian, how’s it On? Is he still not talking?” 

“He spoke, and I think I’ve found the crux of his psychological issue.” 

“The crux?” 

“Rather than the guilt of accidentally causing someone’s death, he’s terrified of having scars on his face and body. These scars not only constantly remind him of the painful memories of abuse but also instill a deep sense of inferiority and insecurity in him. Over time, this could lead to him developing antisocial behaviors or even becoming reclusive. Healing his mind starts with removing those scars.” “Chairman. When I was studying abroad in Mystoria, I learned about one of the world’s most advanced laser skin resurfacing surgeries. It uses lasers to completely remove bum scars from the face, and with the help of new medications, it promotes skin regeneration. It could take just a few months for a complete recovery. 

Given Orion’s young age and superior skin regeneration capabilities compared to adults, this treatment couldn’t be more suitable. It’d be a significant improvement over the traditional therapies that take much longer.” 

“That’s great! I’ll get in touch with the hospital in Mystoria right away. We’ll spare no expense to get Ori the treatment he needs!” “But,” Fabian hesitated for a moment, “while the facial scars are treatable, the ones on his body have been there too long, especially since some are too close to vital organs. I suggest conventional treatment for those. As he grows, they’ll fade.” 

“Alright.” 

Theodore and Orion took a private jet to Mystoria that very night. 

He entrusted the running of the family business to his other children, including informing Ms. Nightshade that Orion would miss their appointment but would return in six months. 

However, with the lawsuit with the Miller Group, the group’s operations, and the power struggles kept his children too busy to remember to inform Xanthea about Orion’s whereabouts. 

Despite the fall of the Miller Group, its remnants lingered, fueled by hatred after Katherine’s tragic death was lightly dismissed as self–defense by Chairman Harold Miller. Spotting Theodore’s affection for Orion, he maliciously pushed the child into the spotlight. #Orphan’s Twisted Mind: Pushing Stepmother Down the Stairs!#

The viral news spread like wildfire, stirring public outrage and spreading rumors throughout high society. 

The 

kwood Group could have easily quelled the rumors by releasing court documents and trial videos, but Theodore’s relatives. fearing his favoritism towards Orion might lead to the young boy being groomed as the heir, chose to ignore the escalating public frenzy. 

Six months later, on the tranquil aftemoon at Sunvale Hospital, Orion picked up a mirror and saw his reflection–a smooth, scar–free face. A small smile played at the comers of his eyes. 

There were no sears on his face anymore. 

Finally, he could stand in the sunlight and Xannie openly. 

Seeing his grandson smile after such a long time, Theodore was overwhelmed with emotion. 

“Ori, you’re finally healed.”
