A Vengeful Ex-Wife novel Chapter 440

A mobile sickbed was placed on standby by the entrance. Worried that Maria would be woken up, James ordered the nurse, "Lead the way."

"Okay, Mr. Xi."

He carried Maria in his arms all the way up to the twelfth floor, where she received extensive brainspecific tests, including CT scans and electroencephalogram.

Finally, the attending doctor told James, "Mr. Xi, according to Ms. Song's examination results, there is nothing wrong with her brain. If you don't mind, could you tell me if she has shown any unusual symptoms or reactions?"

James nodded. Then, he briefly described what had happened earlier.

The doctor understood what had happened. "According to your description, Ms. Song must have experienced a strong mental stimulus and has yet to recover from it. Actually, the delusion that you have just described is a symptom of a psychological disorder. After receiving a strong stimulation, people would feel extremely upset or anxious and even exhibit excessive, uncharacteristic behavior. What medication does Ms. Song usually take?"

James' heart skipped a beat. "Her condition requires her to take medication?" He had never seen Maria take anything before.

"According to Ms. Song's condition, she doesn't need to take medication daily, only when an episode comes on. Otherwise, these delusions would continue and may cause permanent damage to her

brain..."

The frown on James' brows deepened. "Can her condition be cured? What's the worst case scenario?"

"Ms. Song hasn't woken up yet, so I can't give you a definite diagnosis. But generally speaking, a mental disease could be cured, but extensive therapy is required. If the condition remains unaddressed, the patient may fall into an endless loop, suffering through the experience over and over until they take their own life to escape."

James left the hospital with Maria. On their way back, he ordered Summer to look for something in Golden Mansion.

In Fairview Villa

John had been waiting for them for a long time. When James entered, a sigh of relief escaped him.

"Is the room ready?"

"Yes. But what's wrong with Mrs. Xi?" John asked in concern when he saw Maria's closed eyes. Maria had always been polite to him. She never would have neglected to greet him if she were awake.

But now her eyes were closed. 'There must be something wrong with her!'

"She is asleep."

"I see."

Noticing that James didn't want to talk about it, John didn't ask more. He just led James upstairs.

The room they had once stayed in before had been cleaned up. James gently put down the sleeping woman on the bed. Maria did not budge an inch.

John left them alone, and the phone in James' pocket started to vibrate. Summer was calling him.

Summer reported, "Mr. Xi, I found two bottles of the same medicine in Ms. Song's room. It's called Fluvoxamine."

"Text me the name of the medicine."

"Yes, Mr. Xi."

As soon as he received the name of the medicine, James called the doctor. "What disease does Fluvoxamine deal with?"

"The medicine is commonly given to patients with mental diseases such as depression. Basing on Ms. Song's symptoms, I think that she suffers not only from depression, but also its complications. Mr. Xi, please bring Ms. Song here for a professional and comprehensive evaluation one of these days. Hopefully soon."

Ill "

I see.

As he stared at the woman's sleeping face, James felt as if his heart was being torn into pieces. He had no idea that Maria had a mental condition and that she needed medication to address her mental health.

When she was with him, she seemed like a normal person. There was no difference between her and anybody else.

He brought Maria to the Fairview Villa because there were traces of Arthur in the house, which might comfort her pain somewhat.

Once again, his phone's vibration interrupted his train of thought. He slid the answer key and said softly, It s me.

"Mr. Xi, I'm sorry. We only caught four people. Rosa

and two of her men managed to get away using the yacht."

"Just keep chasing her," James ordered in a steely tone.

"Yes, Mr. Xi."
