Half an hour later, Joshua conducted a thorough examination of Gwendolyn, including testing her blood
to determine if the $404 RNA virus had been transmitted to her from her children.
As they waited for the results, he glanced at Cedrick’s swollen cheek and let out a soft sigh. “Cedrick,
do you want to put on some ointment to reduce the swelling? Or an ice pack?”
Cedrick gently licked the cut in his inner mouth and nodded in agreement. “All right, once we have a
better understanding of Gwenny’s condition, I’ll make sure to apply the necessary medication.”
“Okay.”
Silence ensued in the lab. None of them said a word as the air grew tense.
An hour later, the sky had turned completely dark.
Joshua finally received the results and made his way back to the ward with a serious expression.
Cedrick had been waiting beside Gwendolyn the entire time. He quickly got to his feet and inquired,
“So?”
Joshua held the lab report tightly and looked at Cedrick. “Cedrick, there is good news and bad news.
Which one do you want to hear first?”
Cedrick’s expression turned dark. Why is he asking me to choose?
Tamping down his impatience, he replied, “Tell me the good news first.”
The blood test results show that there is no S404 RNA virus in Gwendolyn’s body. She’ll be fine, so
don’t worry.”
Cedrick heaved a sigh of relief. “What about the bad news?”
Joshua’s voice grew solemn as he delivered the news. “According to various indicators and her
previous abnormal actions, it appears that Gwendolyn is suffering from mania.”
Cedrick’s brows furrowed in confusion as he processed the information. “How is that possible? Mania is
a mental illness. How could a blow to the back of her head cause her to develop mania?”
Joshua explained patiently. “There were hidden risks and signs of Gwendolyn’s mania long before. She
was under a lot of psychological stress due to various factors, especially during her pregnancy. The
injury to the back of her head this time simply triggered the illness completely, but it is not the root
cause.”
He let out a sigh of apology. “You mentioned before that when Gwendolyn was pregnant, she bit you
until you bled over a minor issue. She went to the hospital for a check-up, and the doctor said it was
due to excessive progesterone, which affected her emotions. The doctor assured you that it wasn’t a
major concern. However, if mental issues are not properly regulated, they can lead to various risks and
illnesses. Gwendolyn’s manic episode happened to manifest.“
Cedrick whirled around to look at Gwendolyn, who was still unconscious in bed. He racked his brain to
recall what had happened previously.
Gwenny discovered she was pregnant in Erihal amidst her busy negotiations with Charles for the Super
Antiviral. When she finally returned to the country, Marcus had a fall down the stairs, and she was
unjustly blamed. None of her relatives believed her, and she faced accusations of being an illegitimate
child. Despite her exhaustion, she had to handle these matters with determination. And then, Marcus
passed away, and Evelyn went missing. The pressure and anxiety never left her alone. Negative
emotions kept weighing her down.
Cedrick’s face filled with anguish as he held his head in his hands. “It’s my fault. I neglected her. I failed
to recognize and address her mental health issues.”
“No one knew this would happen. Stop blaming yourself, Cedrick,” Joshua advised him as he wrote
something on the report.
*Based on your description, it appears that Gwendolyn’s mania is intermittent, characterized by sudden
bursts of anger when she’s tired and under stress. These outbursts may occur especially at night. It’s
important for you to closely monitor her. Additionally, it’s possible that Gwendolyn may not have any
recollection of her actions during these episodes. It’s up to you to decide whether or not to disclose the
truth to her.”
Cedrick sat by the edge of the bed and held Gwendolyn’s hand tightly. A momentary silence later, he
asked, “What should I do the next time she has an outburst?”
“Administering sedatives by force is an option, but it can be damaging to the nerves, so it should be
considered carefully. If too much is injected, it can affect subsequent treatment. Other than that, the
only option is to let her vent until she exhausts herself and falls asleep naturally, which doesn’t harm
the nerves. However, she may feel fatigued the next day. Considering there are children in the hotuse,
it may not be suitable, right?”
Cedrick fell into deep thought and said nothing.
Joshua added. “You should avoid rendering her unconscious like you did today. The blow to the back of
her head has already weakened the nerves in that area. When Gwendolyn wakes up, she may
experience severe headaches.”
“Okay,” Cedrick agreed with a curt nod, feeling guilty for what he did.
He held Gwendolyn’s hand and pressed an apologetic kiss on the back of it.
“Can you treat Gwenny’s mania?”
Joshua nodded. “There are treatment options available for her condition. While mania can be
challenging to treat, it is not incurable. Based on Gwendolyn’s physical condition, I will develop a
medication specifically tailored to her needs. If we’re fortunate, she may recover completely within six
months.”
Cedrick promptly relaxed when he learned that Gwendolyn could recover.
“Understood. Please develop the treatment plan as soon as possible. If Gwendolyn has another
outburst, I’ll discreetly bring her here and ensure she receives the necessary treatment.”
Joshua caught the main point in his words. “Discreetly? Are you planning to keep Gwendolyn unaware
of her condition and secretly treat her?”
Cedrick lowered his gaze and sighed. “Gwenny is a stubborn person. I know her well. If she becomes
aware of her condition, she might go to great lengths to shield her loved ones from any potential harm.
For now, it might be best to keep it from her. We’ll assess the situation as it unfolds and make decisions
accordingly.”
Joshua couldn’t refute his words.
He got some medication for Gwendolyn to calm her frayed nerves and enhance her immune system.
It took around two hours and a half to finish the IV drip. Cedrick remained beside her, using an ice pack
to decrease the swelling on his cheek.
They remained at the lab until late at night.
When everything was done, Cedrick brought a still-unconscious Gwendolyn back to Harrick Villa
After the events of the night, he could finally find solace in sleep. Embracing Gwendolyn tightly in his
arms, he drifted into a deep slumber.
Gwendolyn slept until noon the following day.
She was roused by a call from her assistant.
“Ms. Harris, the person in charge of the Dovil Group’s project will be arriving in the afternoon to sign the
contract. It’s nearly one o’clock now. Are you planning to come to work today?”
It’s almost one?
Her mind cleared upon hearing about the contract.
“Okay, got it. I’ll be there soon.”
After ending the call, she made an attempt to sit up. However, a sudden wave of excruciating pain
overwhelmed her, particularly at the back of her head.
Helpless against the pain, she slumped back, prepared to hit the bed’s headboard.
Yet, before the impact, she found herself enveloped in a comforting embrace.
She didn’t need to open her eyes to recognize who it was. “Hubby, did you turn off my alarm? How did
1 end up sleeping until almost one in the afternoon?” she questioned.
“You’ve been quite occupied lately, so I thought you needed some extra sleep. If your head still hurts,
you should get more rest. I can help you delay the signing of the contract with Dovil Group,” Cedrick
told her.
“No, the signing has already been postponed for quite some time, and I’m concerned that further
delays might lead to unforeseen complications. I’m almost fully recovered now, so it’s better to address
it promptly.”
Cedrick pulled her in for a hug, not showing any signs of releasing her. “But Gwenny, you have a
headache.”
Weakly, she opened her eyes. “I probably just need some time to get used to the climate here after
coming back from abroad. Go get me some aspirin. I’ll feel better after taking one.”
“It’s easy to get dependent on aspirin. Let me massage your head to relieve your symptoms.”
Slowly, Cedrick’s slender fingers applied gentle pressure to Gwendolyn’s temples, massaging her tense
scalp in an effort to alleviate her headache.
Gwendolyn didn’t reject his offer and enjoyed his service. This is strange. The wound on the back of my
head has almost recovered, but I woke up this morning to intense pain.”
Cedrick’s fingers paused as he lowered his gaze guiltily. Maybe you fell off your pillow last night. Let me
give you a massage.”
Gwendolyn leaned into his arms, allowing him to massage her.
Cedrick was skilled enough to relieve her pain after a few minutes of massage
Slowly, she regained her memories and suddenly recalled an important issue.
“Hubby, I don’t remember how I came home last night.
She hadn’t drunk any alcohol, but she couldn’t remember anything at all.
