When Nora was walking toward the secluded garden in the backyard, all the servants had already woken up.
Everyone looked at her, but before she even came near, they hastily went away.
Two of them were currently whispering to each other.
"Have you heard? Ms. Nora is planning to treat Old Maddy's illness!"
"Does she think she can cure him when the old sir had already asked one of the most professional doctors to treat Old Maddy's illness back then, and even he couldn't do anything about it? I know she just came to the Smiths, and wants to accomplish something so that people wouldn't look down on her, but isn't this a little too... you know?"
"Let's hurry up and leave, in case she sees something wrong with our health and ends up wanting to treat our illnesses, too. If that happens, we'll end up offending her if we refuse. Yet if we don't, are we really going to be her guinea pigs?"
"Sigh, Old Maddy is so pitiful. He has already gone mad, yet he has to suffer under her hands..."
Someone asked hesitantly, "But Ms. Nora looks very determined to me. What if she's really trying to cure him?"
"Ms. Nora is just a surgeon, and she isn't even well-known. How would she possibly know how to treat mental illnesses? Even professional psychiatrists couldn't cure him..."
The group of people whispered among themselves, but Nora wasn't bothered at all. She entered Old Maddy's house.
Old Maddy was eating a hamburger.
The butler, who knew she was coming, was also standing next to him at the moment. He looked at Nora with a complicated look on his face.
When Nora had approached him the night before and told him that she wanted to treat Old Maddy's illness, the butler had already been disapproving of her decision.
Old Maddy was also human. Although he had gone mad, he was a living human being. How could people be allowed to toy with his life so casually?
He had immediately spoken to Joel about it, but unexpectedly, Joel had actually agreed to it after a short moment of hesitation.
As such, the butler could only come over and keep an eye on things.
Although Old Maddy was crazy, out of everyone living at the Smiths' residence, it was the butler who had interacted with him the most all these years. Old Maddy also got along with him the best, so he didn't want Old Maddy to suffer.
In any case, Old Maddy was still a living human being.
While he was thinking about it, he saw Nora open a box that she had brought with her. Inside the box were long thin needles.
The butler's pupils shrank from shock.
"Ms. Nora, those are...?" he asked.
