Chapter 597 Her Condition Is Generally a Result of PTSD Caused by Abuse
Meanwhile, at the hospital.
After Nicole was taken to the hospital, the doctors couldn't find any issues. All her physical signs were normal, but she just kept crying incessantly, which puzzled the doctors.
So Brady could only call in a specialist for a consultation.
After another examination, the specialist pinpointed the issue precisely. "Mr. Hall, I suggest you take the child to see a pediatric psychologist and psychiatrist."
Brady was confused. "Doctor, what do you mean? Why does she need to see a psychologist?"
"Her incessant crying is a symptom of severe psychological trauma, so I recommend this," The specialist said.
"Thank you, doctor." Brady picked up Nicole, and along with Violet and Michael, they went to see the pediatric psychologist and psychiatrist.
It turned out to be exactly that.
The pediatric specialist finally calmed Nicole down through soothing, and Nicole quietly fell asleep in Violet's arms.
Then they glanced at the anxious Brady, unsure whether to tell him, "Mr. Hall, there's something I don't know if I should say."
Brady said, "Please, go ahead."
"This kind of situation usually results from abuse, leading to a stress disorder. Whenever she encounters the abuser, she will have this stress response. Since Nicole is still young, she can only express it through crying. Older children who are abused will show different symptoms."
After the pediatric specialist finished speaking, Brady was puzzled, and Michael was also surprised. They knew Ava had bullied Nicole before, but they didn't think it was serious.
Just some scaring, how did it turn into a psychological disorder?
"Doctor, can this condition be treated?" Violet also heard the doctor's words, and her eyes turned red.
"It can be treated, as long as she doesn't come into contact with the person causing the stress disorder. Otherwise, it could get worse," the pediatric specialist said.
Violet nodded.
"Brady, let's talk," Michael patted Brady's shoulder and said.
Brady knew what he wanted to talk about, so he went out with him.
Outside the ward, Michael said, "Is the child's condition because of your mom?"
Brady didn't deny it, just frowned and said, "Dad, you handle this."
Michael responded, "I'll go find her."
"My thought is that you should take her back abroad." Brady knew Ava well. "You know my mom's temper. Once she has an idea, it's hard to change her mind. Of course, don't be fooled by her sweet words. If she genuinely accepts Violet and the kids, I wouldn't stop her from coming back. But you see the reality. Nicole has become like this." Brady's voice grew somber towards the end.
On one side was Ava, and on the other were Violet and the kids.
He had to find the most balanced way to resolve this.
"I understand." Michael took a deep breath and said apologetically, "Brady, I really like Violet and the kids. I won't oppose you."
"I'll handle Ava." He was planning to talk to her about Violet anyway.
Brady nodded. "Okay."
Regarding Ava, he didn't want her to hurt Nicole. He just wanted to live well with Violet and the kids now. Of course, if she really harmed his child, he wouldn't mind severing the mother-son relationship.
