“Thank you, Hadley. You should go back and rest, ” Cate said.
“But…” Hadley saw her tired appearance and could not bear to leave.
“It’s fine. He’s much easier to deal with than Suzie.” Cate joked.
Hadley sighed in his heart before leaving. She took the spoon and fed Shaun the stew.
Shaun was actually hungry but he did not want to eat without seeing her first. Now that she was back, he immediately ate the stew with gusto.
After eating for a while, he suddenly asked, “Did… you find Suzie?”
“Yeah, ” Cate said.
Shaun nodded and said seriously, ” She must have run around. She’s naughty.”
Cate smiled silently.
She could not explain to him that Suzie was kidnapped.
Sometimes, she thought that it was good that Shaun was in this state now. He no longer needed to face many things.
However, she felt very tired. Sometimes, she wanted someone to rely on, but when Suzie disappeared, she did not even have the right to cry.
Although Shaun had a low IQ now, he could still sense that Cate had suddenly become unhappy.
He quickly said, “D-Don’t worry. I’ll… I won’t run around. I won’t… let you worry.”
“Mhm, good boy.” Cate touched his head. ” But Suzie didn’t run around. She was kidnapped. You have to be a good boy and stay with me, or you might get taken away by bad people. If that happens, you’ll never see me again.”
“Bad people… They’re terrible. ” Shaun furrowed his brows in anger. “I’ll be good… I won’t run around. Today… you told me not to leave, so I didn’t leave.”
“Yeah, you did a great job.”
Cate scooped up a spoonful of food.
Shaun pushed it to her mouth. “Cate, you eat too.”
“Okay.” Cate’s heart felt slightly better after feeling his concern for her.
Fortunately, even after he became stupid, he still cared about her. Plus, she was hungry too— extremely hungry.
After they finished eating, Cate was exhausted and helped him wipe his body before lying down on the bed to watch cartoons with him.
She fell asleep soon after.
Shaun looked at her. From his line of sight, he thought that Cate looked really pretty.
Her face was small and beautiful as a fairy, while her skin was fairer than snow. Her long eyelashes… were like… the feathers in cartoons.
Also, her pink lips were like jelly.
Shaun still remembered the taste of them. Cate tasted very sweet, but of course, the inside of her mouth was sweeter.
As he thought about it, his body suddenly heated up. He also did not know what was happening and only felt very uncomfortable.
He did not want to wake Cate up at first, but his tall and slender body could not help but toss and turn in bed. In the end, his breathing got more and more urgent.
Cate opened her eyes and saw his flushed face.
She was shocked, thinking it was an after-effect after falling down the stairs. “What’s wrong? Are you feeling uncomfortable?”
“Yeah, I don’t know why it suddenly happened. ” Shaun grabbed her hand and shoved it under the covers with an innocent face.
Cate, “…”
What the hell. This guy had the IQ of a two—year— old but his body was giving a completely different reaction.
“How did this suddenly happen?” She was truly puzzled.
“I don’t know either.” Shaun looked at her pitifully. “Can you help me?”
“Sorry, but sometimes you can do it yourself.” Cate pushed both his hands under the covers. ” I’m tired, so help yourself.”
Shaun, “…. “
He was very disappointed.
However, when he saw Cate’s tired appearance, he could not bear to force her and was afraid that she would be angry. Hence, he had no choice but to quietly settle it himself.
In Militaire hospital.
After Titus sent Sheryl here, he immediately had the doctor give Sheryl a full examination.
In less than three hours, all the data was laid out in front of him.
“There’s nothing wrong with her organs and brain. In fact, her health is very good.” The doctor paused and took out a report. “However, we found traces of an illegal drug in her bloodstream. Does she usually take any medicine?”
Titus’ thin lips immediately pursed, making him look eerily cold. “As far as I know, no. As you said, she’s in good health. Even when she was abroad, she seldom caught colds. She exercises every day as well.”
“That’s weird, ” the doctor said, “The illegal drug I mentioned is generally taken by patients after surgery or those suffering from long-term mental illness. This kind of drug can’t be taken for an extended period of time…”
“What happens if a normal person takes it?” Titus suddenly interrupted the doctor with an unpleasant expression.
The doctor paused. “Then it’ll be a little troublesome. As you know, it’s a drug. At first, the person will suffer from insomnia and fatigue. Later on, there’ll be a decline in memory and intelligence. The person’s temper will become irate, their mind will become sluggish, and their mood will become restless. In serious cases, the person might hallucinate and even become addicted.”
“Addicted?” Titus clenched his fists, veins fiercely throbbing on the back of his hands.
The symptoms that the doctor listed were very much in line with Sheryl’s current state.
It was all his fault for being too negligent lately. He only thought that Sheryl was simply jealous and in a bad mood because of Cate, which was why she kept arguing with him.
If not for Cate’s reminder, he would never have brought Sheryl for a full check-up.
“Yes, it’s just like taking drugs, ” the doctor said seriously, “If she doesn’t continue to take it, she’ll become even more agitated. If she suddenly stops taking it, her mood swings will get worse. In serious cases… she’ll go crazy.”
Titus suddenly stood up.
When a tall man like him flew into a rage, it was enough to make the doctor terrified.
“Can she be cured?” Titus asked.
“Of course, it’s just a matter of time. However, we still don’t know what kind of drug she’s been taking. I was only able to extract one ingredient of the drug from her blood, but as you know, there are many kinds of ingredients in drugs. Different kinds of drugs have different kinds of ingredients too. “
The doctor hesitated before saying, “The examinations we did earlier were when she was unconscious, but there are some parts of the neurological examination that must be done when she’s awake. We’ll need her to cooperate…”
Titus became antsy.
With Sheryl’s current mood, she would never let the doctor examine her without kicking up a fuss. It would be good enough if she did not demand a divorce immediately after waking up.
If only Matthew were around, he would be able to persuade her.
The decisive Titus Costner would probably only feel this conflicted when it came to his wife.
If possible, he wanted to take Sheryl back to Neah Bay for treatment. However, what about Matthew? Was he just supposed to abandon his son?
“What if I can find that drug?” Titus asked in a low and cold voice.
“Then the scope of treatment will be much narrower. Even if she doesn’t cooperate with the treatment, we’ll be more confident about it. ” The doctor nodded thoughtfully.
“Please look after her for me for now. Try to let her sleep as much as possible.” Titus frowned and made the arrangements.
The doctor shook his head. “That won’t do. If we give her an injection to put her to sleep, it’ll only make things worse, which is not conducive for her treatment.”
