His Unveiled Passion novel Chapter 301

Samuel and Marianne arrived at the base soon after. Marianne sobbed her heart out as she clutched Seline in her arms.

"Oh, my baby! I thought I would never see you again!" Marianne wailed. "I thought about you every day and dreamed about you every night. I was worried to death!"

Tessa stood to the side as she watched with tears streaming down her cheeks. For the last few days, whenever she closed her eyes, images of James torturing Seline would flash across her mind.

She always had nightmares when night fell. She would dream of James pouring oil on Seline with the intent to burn her to death. In the nightmares, James would always tell her that she could save Seline, but only by giving up her own life.

Samuel's eyes had also reddened at the touching reunion. There were a million things that he wanted to say, but he was only able to choke out a single sentence. "Seline, I missed you a lot too."

The four of them shed tears together. Marianne, who had a keen eye, noticed that Seline wasn't in a good mental state.

With bloodshot eyes, she said, "Seline was already traumatized by her last kidnapping. This time she was taken all the way to Arcton and nearly lost her life in the process. I'm worried that she—"

She couldn't complete the rest of her sentence. Seline wasn't even nine years old yet, but she had already been kidnapped twice. How was such a young girl going to endure such terrible stress on her psyche? She would undoubtedly develop mental issues in the future.

Samuel's gaze was steely. He hadn't gotten a single day's rest since Seline was kidnapped. Fatigue and anxiety were etched on his face as he gazed at Seline with guilt and worry in his heart. "I'll contact the best psychiatrist I know immediately."

Tessa added, "I'll also ask my friends to contact the best child psychiatrist in the industry. Seline will definitely get better, Ms. Connors."

"I can only hope so," Marianne said before sighing deeply.

Stephen and Julian were engaged in discussion as they stood outside. When the Yates family exited the room, the two parties greeted each other. Stephen's gaze fell on Tessa, and the two of them locked eyes. Tessa's eyes were bloodshot, making it obvious that she had been crying earlier.

Tessa could see the flicker of heartbreak in Stephen's eyes. She pressed her lips together before quietly averting her gaze.

Marianne initially wanted to thank Stephen, but she suddenly recalled that Seline had only been kidnapped in the first place because of him. She couldn't force the words past her lips no matter how hard she tried.
