Chapter 510 The Deepest Wound
“There are too many people here. Dr. Lane, this way, please.”
Johnson gestured for Cora to follow him.
Cora could only hurry to keep up.
As for the scholars and experts following behind, they intercepted by the security team.
were
Johnson led Cora to the designated rest area Carter specially arranged for him.
“Alright, no one will disturb us here. Dr. Lane, you can talk
about your issue now.”
Yes, Johnson noticed that Cora’s mental state was far from being fine.
He thought that Cora might find herself with some
psychological problems, possibly related to Byron, and he wanted to help resolve the issues between the former couple together.
However, Cora looked extremely cautious, scanning the area
to ensure there were no others or surveillance devices before
Chapter 510 The Deepest Wound
she spoke up.
“Dr. Watts, it’s not about me. It’s about my son. He’s three years old, but he still can’t speak…”
As she mentioned Martin, Cora’s eyes inexplicably reddened.
Hearing the age of her child, Johnson immediately started calculating in his mind.
He remembered that when Byron was undergoing
rehabilitation, his mental state was abnormal, and the catalyst was the child Cora had aborted without his consent.
If that child hadn’t been aborted and was born successfully,
he would be three years old now.
So after some consideration, Johnson said, “Bring your child here tomorrow, and I’ll conduct a simple test for him there.”
He handed Cora a business card with the address of a private
psychiatric hospital.
Cora took the card and expressed her gratitude excitedly.
“Thank you so much, Dr. Watts. Thank you…”
Seeing her excited expression, Johnson reminded her, “But it’s better if you bring the child alone. Some examinations are not suitable with too many people around.”

“Okay, I’ll go with my son alone.”
Then Cora expressed her gratitude once more before leaving the Hansen Group.
On the other side, Johnson went to Byron’s office again.
As usual, the office was still hazy with smoke, irritating his
eyes.
Johnson waved his hand to disperse the smoke before looking at the man holding a cigarette.
“The reason you suddenly smoked so much today is related to
your ex–wife, right?”
As soon as the words ex–wife were mentioned, the man, who initially seemed to be immersed in his files, suddenly burst into anger and threw a folder at Johnson.
Anticipating this behavior, Johnson quickly stepped aside, avoiding being hit by the folder, which hit the office door and
scattered on the floor.
With the folder not hitting him, Byron glared at Johnson with a
sullen face as if he wanted to devour him.
Johnson didn’t seem surprised.
Chapter 510 The Deepest Wound
He was aware that Byron had frequently displayed such aggressive behavior during his rehabilitation.
Despite seeing his sullen expression now, Johnson didn’t avoid the topic.
“It seems you thought about your child who failed to come to
this world!”
The mere mention of the child triggered Byron’s anger again, and he grabbed something from the table, throwing it at Johnson.
“Don’t talk about that child!”
Byron knew he was losing control again.
But he couldn’t stop it. He felt that the child died because of
him.
The child hadn’t even experienced parental love before leaving this world.
It was the deepest wound in his heart.
In normal times, he could conceal it.
But whenever his emotions were unstable, this wound would

be exposed.
Despite his outburst, Johnson said, “Some wounds won’t
disappear by evading. Only by confronting them head–on can
you overcome them completely.”
Perhaps accepting this perspective, Byron gradually calmed down.
He sat back in his office chair, panting heavily.
At this moment, Johnson handed him a business card.
“Go to this place at eight tomorrow morning.”
It was the same business card he had given to Cora just now.
