The Pampering CEO: Don't Mess With My Secretly-Married Sweet Wife novel Chapter 39

After listening for a while, Susan’s expression changed drastically. "What? My elder brother's symptoms worsened? I'm coming over now.”

She grabbed her coat as she dashed outside.

Julian frowned and gripped her arm. "What is it?"

"The nursing home called and said they aren't sure what triggered his schizophrenia symptoms to become more serious,” Susan said nervously, "I need t o rush over now."

Knowing how important Jacob was to Susan, he immediately said, "I'll send you."

She instantly nodded. "I’ll have to trouble you then."

Julian sent her to the nursing home as fast as he could. She rushed into the home once they reached. Her elder brother was the only family she had in this world.

'Brother, please be okay. Please be alright.'

"Miss Shelby, you're here!” The nurse was already waiting for her at the entrance.

Once she saw Susan, she explained, "Something seems to have triggered Mr. Shelby this afternoon. He kept typing away on the keyboard. At first, we weren’t really concerned about it, but until now, he has been typing for 5 hours. We tried different ways to stop him, but he doesn’t want to eat or rest. We’re worried that if this continues, his body will be affected, so we contacted you."

With a nod, Susan opened the door to his room.

Under the moonlight, Jacob sat cross-legged on the bed as he typed away vigorously. He did not look like his warm and gentle self. There were traces of insanity in his eyes and his fingers were typing so quickly as though they were flying across the keyboard.

"He's been like this for the past 5 hours. We’re worried about his body, but when we get close to him, he'll attack us frantically by throwing anything that he can get his hands on, even hurting himself in the process. We're at our wits’ end, so we called you," the nurse continued to share.

"Brother..." Susan looked at Jacob as her heart trembled.

'5 hours of this? His fingers wouldn't be able to take it at this typing speed, and he hasn't eaten anything. I can't let him continue to be like this.'

Susan took a step over to him.

"Miss Shelby, please wait." The nurse quickly stopped her. "Let me get a few more people to hold Mr. Shelby down. He’ll attack you if you approach him like this."

"There's no need to. My elder brother will never hurt m e,” Susan replied stubbornly.

"But...” The nurse had more to say.

"It’s okay, I’m here," Julian spoke lightly, "If there's nothing else, you may go out first."

"Yes," the nurse answered softly and left the room.

Susan was already subconsciously walking over to Jacob as Julian hurriedly followed behind her alertly.

Schizophrenic patients could never be dealt with reason. If Jacob suddenly turned violent, Julian must stop him immediately.

Although Susan was at his side, Jacob did not realize her presence as he continued typing away furiously o n his keyboard.

She could not help feeling sad. What actually happened to him? Why did he suddenly become like this?

Drawing in a deep breath, Susan said subtly, "Brother, it’s me, Susan."

Jacob did not respond.

"Brother, can you stop for a while and eat something?" she coaxed gently.
