Fabian frowned, then opened the door of the ward to enter.
Niamh, who heard the sound, abruptly lifted her eyes to look at him.
The sunlight shone through the window, falling onto Niamh’s back, giving a faint layer of halo on the side of her face.
Her pale and lifeless face displayed a messy yet prestigious type of beauty, yet it made her look so helpless and pitiful.
Upon seeing Fabian making his way toward, Niamh’s eyes suddenly glinted with mixed feelings.
The anticipation and anxiety interweaved in her gaze made Fabian feel troubled.
“What’s wrong with you, Eveline? Do you have some sort of disease?” Fabian approached the bedside and asked bluntly.
After he asked, Niamh’s eyes became red, to his surprise.
Fabian was stunned. He also could not believe that Niamh would immediately rush toward him and grasp his sleeve.
“Help me tell Kendrick that I really didn’t do anything to harm Jackson. I saw it with my eyes that it was Nevaeh who took the fruit knife and slashed Jackson’s face. It really wasn’t me who did it. Kendrick… Why won’t he believe me?”
Fabian was confused at this, realizing that he did not know much about what had occurred between Niamh and Kendrick.
However, he had heard about Nevaeh.
She was a very cruel lady, and it was because of this lady, Niamh had experienced an extraordinarily dark and painful period. A time she did not wish to recall.
“Hiss.”
Niamh suddenly yelled in pain.
She lifted her hands to hold her head. She painfully struggled as tears fell.
“Why won’t he believe me? Even if it’s just once, just once would do…
“I want to see Kendrick. I want to see him…”
Niamh laid down and muttered, tears streaming out of the corners of her eyes, wetting the bed sheet.
Fabian could not help but feel troubled. Additionally, seeing Niamh’s current condition, not only was she spouting nonsense that he could not understand, her physical condition was still a mess.
When she had pulled him earlier, he could feel that Niamh’s hands were cold, and her breathing seemed to still be erratic.
Fabian could not comprehend it. How did Niamh end up in this state?
A moment ago, she had still been sharp and tough, determined in requesting Fabian to hand Lilian over to her, then the next instant, it was as if she had suddenly become another person.
“Fab, step out for a moment.”
When he heard Evan’s voice from behind, Fabian then snapped out of it.
However, he did not turn around; his eyes remained fixed upon Niamh.
Seeing that Fabian was not responding, Evan reminded him again.
“Fab, come out for now.”
“Given her current state, wouldn’t something happen if no one is keeping an eye on her?” Fabian asked, feeling uneasy.
“We’ll just be outside. Nothing will happen to her. As of now, we have no idea what’s wrong with her. We can’t even prescribe her any medication, ” Evan said helplessly and tapped Fabian’s shoulder, then turned around.
Fabian momentarily hesitated before turning around.
The two towering men stood at the entrance of the ward. From time to time, they would look into the ward.
They saw that Niamh was still curled up on the hospital bed, eyes shut, frowning. This worried them.
“Fab, did Eveline and her husband not have a good relationship? Why would she speak like that?”
Evan voiced the doubts he had as he started analyzing.
“Besides, the symptoms that she displayed were odd. A second ago, she was a determined lady, the next second, she became an insecure lady. She doesn’t have Dissociative Identity Disorder, does she?”
Evan ended up reaching such a far-fetched conclusion.
Fabian frowned when he heard this.
“Dissociative Identity Disorder?”
Fabian too was deep in his thoughts, but he felt that the possibility of what Evan had said could be high.
That was because when they contrasted the two versions of Niamh, it truly seemed to match the symptoms of Dissociative Identity Disorder.
However, he found this peculiar. “Would Dissociative Identity Disorder make one have erratic breathing, palpitation, and even cold sweat?”
Evan confidently shook his head. “It won’t. However, if one develops an extreme personality, they might show such symptoms due to their overly agitated emotions. There is still this possibility. “
“Do you think that’s the case for her?”
“…”
Evan was at a loss for words. He then said honestly, “This is not my specialty, but I can refer you to the best psychiatrist in our hospital.”
Fabian lifted his head and looked at Niamh. “I guess the best psychiatrist would only be him.”
After waiting in the hospital for the doctor to inject Niamh with a dose of tranquilizer, Fabian then drove back to his villa, his mind heavy with thoughts.
His servants told him that Lilian had just woken up.
He immediately headed upstairs and came to Lillian’s room. He saw the little girl had gotten down from the bed, and she was standing on the balcony, sunbathing.
Fabian glanced at that little outline, and his gaze became much gentler.
He sauntered to Lilian and softly called out to her, ” Lily.”
Lilian turned around when she heard the sound, her fair little face glowed with a faint pink.
Her complexion seemed to have improved a lot.
Lilian, still unable to speak, could only smile when she saw Fabian approaching.
In Fabian’s eyes, that naive, gorgeous smile seemed like an angel smiling at him, making him feel as if his heart was suddenly infused with warmth.
He walked up to Lilian, got down to his knees, then gently held Lillian’s little hand.
“Lily, do you feel much better today?”
Lilian gently nodded and blinked her clear, big eyes twice, then she moved her little mouth.
“Mommy.”
Fabian was stunned. He knew that, currently, Lilian could only call out “daddy” and “mommy”.
However, she called out “mommy” at that moment. ‘Could it be because she’d sensed Niamh had been here?’
“Lily, your mom isn’t here, ” Fabian said gently. He raised his hand and softly pinched Lillian’s little face. “It’s cold outside. You shouldn’t catch a cold, Lily. Let’s go back into the room.”
Lilian obediently nodded her head. Just when she was about to turn around, Fabian immediately carried her.
He cautiously placed Lilian on the bed and had the servant prepare the daily nutritious meal for Lilian.
He meticulously watched Lilian finish her meal by her side, then accompanied her to watch cartoons. Finally, after he saw that she was sleeping soundly, he turned around.
After he had turned around, however, he could not help but sneak another peek at her.
Seeing her sleepy face, he thought of Niamh. After some thought, he came to a decision.
In Glendale.
At this moment, Kendrick was accompanying his youngest son, who was learning to walk, when suddenly, he received a call from Fabian.
He did not see it wrongly as his phone screen had clearly displayed Fabian’s name.
Fabian had long ago blacklisted his number. The sudden call from Fabian now gave Kendrick an uneasy feeling.
He had this feeling earlier because when he had phoned Niamh, no one picked up his calls.
Currently, Fabian took the initiative to call him. Kendrick was certain that something must have happened to Niamh.
Kendrick picked up the call without hesitation, and immediately heard Fabian’s deep voice from the other side of the call.
“Does your wife have any disease?”
