    Callum paused, then turned to look at Belinda with a hint of confusion.


    This wasn’t what they had agreed upon earlier. He usually didn’t take on cases involving child


    counseling.


    Belinda, aware of why her aunt had brought ‘Adrian’ here, shrugged helplessly and spread her hands.


    “What’s the big deal? Children’s psychological problems definitely have something to do with their


    parents. Is it so wrong to counsel the mother and son together? Dr. Callum, you’re a professional;


    surely this isn’t beyond your capabilities.”


    Callum arched an eyebrow and pursed his lips. “Of course it’s not.”


    He turned back to ‘Adrian, professionally essing the child’s demeanor. “Belinda, why don’t you take


    the little guy to the table by the fridge for a drink? I’ll have a one-on-one with Ms. Mendoza about her


    son’s situation.”


    Belinda was more than happy toply. She got up and led ‘Adrian’ away, but the child was reluctant.


    It took some coaxing from Ellinor before ‘Adrian’ was willing to follow Belinda.


    Once Belinda and the child were out of sight, Callum turned back to Ellinor. “Ms. Mendoza, do you


    believe there’s a psychological issue with your son that


    allum requires our intervention?”


    Ellinor’s eyes flickered as she recounted her son’s recent change in behavior. “Last weekend, his aunt


    and I took him and his siblings on a pic. During our pic, he saw a kite he liked and ran after it. I


    found him soon after he disappeared, but I scolded him out of anxiety. Since then, he’s be


    withdrawn and timid. He seems unfamiliar and ufortable with his home environment. I’m worried


    that my outburst that day may have caused him psychological trauma.”


    Callum pondered her plea while stroking his chin. “Usually, kids don’t develop psychological problems


    just from being scolded for running off. There might be another reason. Would it be okay if I had a


    private conversation with him, Ms. Mendoza?”


    Since she was here, Ellinor naturally hoped to understand the reason behind her son’s drastic change


    in behavior.


    Ellinor nodded. “Of course! However, I hope the conversation won’t be too long. He’s been quite


    sensitive recently.”


    Callumughed. “Don’t worry, I’m a professional.”


    With that, Callum stood up, walking gracefully to the table by the fridge to find Belinda. He swapped


    ces with her, leaving him alone with the child.

    Belinda sauntered back from the diner and sat next to Ellinor. “Ellinor, what do you think of my friend?”


    Ellinor couldn’t make a judgment yet. Her gaze was fixed on the table where she saw ‘Adrian’ initially


    looking defensive at Dr. Callum. After a while; ‘Adrian’ began to rx and sat obediently, chatting with


    the doctor with ease.


    “Look.” Belinda said. “Adrian is having a great chat with Dr. Callum. You should also have a heart-to-


    heart with him. It’s really effective.”


    Ellinor arched an eyebrow at her. “Me? What do 1 need to talk about?”


    Belinda blinked her big eyes. “Of course, it’s about your feelings. You can use Dr. Callum as an


    emotional dumpster. Anything that bothers or troubles you, just tell him and let it all out. I always feel


    refreshed after venting to him. Why don’t you give it a shot?”


    Ellinor pulled a half-smile. “I don’t have any feelings to vent.”


    Belinda pouted. “I don’t believe you! You must be bottling up a lot of emotions rted to my uncle. If


    you keep it inside, it will make you sick. Chat with Dr. Callum and let him guide you through your


    feelings. You’ll feel much better.”


    Ellinorughed lightly. “My feelings can only be released effectively when expressed to the person


    involved. Everything else is ineffective. So, introducing me to your psychologist friend was your n all


    along?”
