Han knew about torture first hand, so, of course, he recognized that kind of scream. Physically, the worst pain Captain Solo had ever felt was at the hands of Darth Vader. You could study his nerves among all the types of pain that he had ever been exposed to in a life that seen, perhaps, more than his fair share of it. The evidence would be irrefutable.
And yet, it didn't compare to the hurt that he felt listening to his son cry out in that primal sort of agony that nobody should ever have to hear - much less hear coming from the vocal cords on their own kid. Or the feeling that he was completely helpless to ease his suffering. As far as he knew, nothing more that he could do apart from being on the opposite side of the galaxy from Snoke and hope that the control he had on Ben would weaken.
"Chewie, help Ben while I've got the controls, I want to be sure that we're not being followed."
It's a command he gives with regret. He'd love to be the one to pick his son up and carry him off to lie down somewhere, but the reality was, he's almost seventy years old. Chewbacca was the more sensible choice to do the lifting.
"Then come right back because I wanna watch over him."
