It's not too late to meet in the book

Inside the treatment room, sunlight filtered through the half-open windows, casting patches of warm light onto the floor, like nature's gentlest solace, attempting to dispel the gloom in the children's hearts. The air was filled with the faint scent of lavender, specially prepared by the doctors for the children, hoping to help them relax their tense nerves.

Lei Xiaoyue and Lin Yuxuan sat in a corner of the treatment room, their tender faces occasionally flickering with a smile of relief, but more often than not, a shadow shrouded in fear. Their eyes held both curiosity about the unknown and a desire to escape the past. The doctor sat across from them, his eyes gentle yet resolute, his voice soft yet powerful, as if piercing the fog within these children and guiding them toward light.

"Xiaoyue, let's talk about your favorite trip today." The doctor's voice was like a spring breeze, gently awakening a beautiful memory in Lei Xiaoyue's heart.

Lei Xiaoyue's eyes lit up slightly, as if a beam of light had penetrated the darkness in her heart. She nodded gently, a faint smile on her lips: "My favorite thing was the trip to the beach. The waves hit the beach, making a beautiful sound, and I also picked up a lot of beautiful shells."

As she spoke, Lei Xiaoyue's eyes sparkled, as if the happiness and joy of that moment were enough to temporarily make her forget those painful memories. Seeing this, the doctor felt a surge of warmth in his heart. He knew that this was a crucial step in guiding children out of their psychological trauma.

However, this happiness did not last long. When the doctor tried to turn the topic to the cliff jumping incident, Lei Xiaoyue's smile froze instantly, and her eyes became empty and fearful, as if she was pulled back to that terrible memory by an invisible force.

"Xiaoyue, I know that incident was scary for you, but you know what? Many people have had similar experiences, and they have all bravely come out of it." The doctor's voice was still gentle, but with a bit more determination. He tried to use his words to build a barrier against fear for Lei Xiaoyue.

Lei Xiaoyue lowered her head, clasped her hands together tightly, and said in a voice as thin as a mosquito: "But I can't do it. I feel so scared when I think of those scenes."

The doctor gently held Lei Xiaoyue's hand and gave her silent encouragement: "Xiaoyue, you have to believe that you can do it. Everyone has a power in their heart that can help us overcome fear. Just like when you were picking up shells at the beach, although the waves sometimes hit you, you still walked bravely, didn't you?"

Lei Xiaoyue raised her head, a hint of hesitation flashing in her eyes, but more of a trust in the doctor. She nodded, her movements slight but full of determination.

At this time, Lin Yuxuan also spoke, his voice trembling slightly, but with great determination: "I'm afraid too, but I've heard from my father that a man should face difficulties bravely. I think I can also overcome it slowly like Xiaoyue did."

The doctor looked at the two children with relief. Although there was still fear in their eyes, they had the courage to face difficulties. He knew that this was a long and difficult process, but as long as the children were willing to take the first step, the road ahead would become wider and wider.

During the subsequent treatment, the doctor continuously adjusted the treatment plan. He used cognitive behavioral therapy to help the children gradually develop correct thinking patterns and guide them to view the cliff jump incident with a more positive attitude. At the same time, he also introduced music therapy and art therapy, allowing the children to find ways to release their inner emotions through the melodies of music and the colors of art.

In the treatment room, you can often see the following scene: Lei Xiaoyue and Lin Yuxuan sit before their canvases, their brushes freely flowing across the paper, their faces occasionally breaking into focused, contented smiles, as if, in that moment, all fears have been cast aside. The doctor quietly observes, sometimes offering guidance, other times simply accompanying them, allowing this warmth and hope to take root in the children's hearts.

However, the recovery process wasn't always smooth. Sometimes, the children's emotions would suddenly become erratic, and the slightest provocation could trigger fear and anxiety. Whenever this happened, the doctor patiently comforted them, using his words and actions to build a solid defense for the children.

"Xiaoyue, don't be afraid, I'm here." The doctor said softly, his eyes full of tenderness and determination, as if they could dispel all darkness and fear.

Lei Xiaoyue held the doctor's hand tightly, tears welling up in her eyes, but her eyes showed more strength: "I know, I will try my best."

Lin Yuxuan also came over and patted Lei Xiaoyue on the shoulder. Although his movements were a little clumsy, the sincere friendship and encouragement made Lei Xiaoyue feel unprecedented warmth and strength.

"Let's work together and we will definitely defeat those bad memories!" Although Lin Yuxuan's voice was still a little childish, it was full of courage and determination.

The doctor felt an indescribable emotion as he watched the two children clinging to each other. He knew that although the road ahead was long, as long as the children supported each other and bravely faced difficulties, they would be able to overcome this difficult time and embrace a bright future.

"Yes, let's work hard together." The doctor said with a smile, his voice full of trust and expectation for the children, "Believe in yourselves, you can do it."
