Armand sent Elizabeth home and Bertha said thankfully, “Luckily she is found, otherwise I would have been scared to death.”
Armand pushed Elizabeth back to her room.
Then, he called Bertha to the living room.
“Has grandma behaved abnormally lately?”
Bertha thought carefully, “It seems that there is no abnormal behaviour! but it’s not totally normal. Sometimes, she will forget the things that she told me to do.”
Bertha seemed to have thought of something. She said, “This is not my first time taking care of the elderly. I’ve met some elderly who have the same condition as her, where they will constantly forget things. Maybe!”
“Don’t say it. I will take her to the hospital for a checkup.” Armand knew what she wanted to say, but he refused to believe it.
Although he was angry and pissed off by her stubbornness, he did not want her to get sick at all.
“Armand, you have to treat Theresa better. Why don’t see her recently?” Elizabeth pushed her wheelchair out of the room.
Armand looked at her and clenched his fists, “Grandma, what are you talking about?”
“Didn’t you get married to Theresa? You have to treat her well. Phoebe is not a good woman. She left you because she thinks that we are poor. I hate her. Now that you are married to Theresa, you have to treat her well and have a child quickly.” Elizabeth seemed to be talking confusingly, but Armand understood everything she said.
She was talking about different topics at a time, so she was not normal.
Armand took her to the hospital. He took a rug and covered her legs. Then, he pushed her out of the door.
“Where are you taking me?”
Elizabeth asked.
“To the hospital,” Armand said.
Elizabeth tilted her head and looked at him, “Are you sick?”
Armand said, “No, it’s not me, it’s you.”
Elizabeth got agitated all of a sudden, “I’m not sick. I’m fine. I’m not going to the hospital.”
“It’s better to go and check.”
“I’m not going, I’m not sick.” Elizabeth pulled on the door frame and wouldn’t let go.
Elizabeth was very stubborn. She refused to go to the hospital no matter what he said. Armand did not dare to force her to go to the hospital because he was afraid that this would stimulate her emotions. Hence, they could only stay at home.
He took advantage of Elizabeth’s sleep to call the doctor to the house and gave her a check.
After listening to Armand’s account, the doctor judged that it might be a precursor of Alzheimer’s disease, “This is still a preliminary judgement. You’ll still need to go to the hospital for a better diagnosis. Listening to your description, the condition seemed to be a bit serious. I suggest you go to the hospital as soon as possible.”
Armand said, “I know.”
Elizabeth had woken. She heard Armand said that he didn’t feel well and hoped she could accompany him to the hospital. When she heard that he said he didn’t feel well, she immediately agreed to go to the hospital with him.
After the examination, Elizabeth was diagnosed to have Alzheimer’s disease, which is commonly known as dementia.
“Elderly with this disease will have symptoms of memory loss and confusion. There will be situations like emotional anxiety, agitation, hallucinations and delusions. This disease can only be controlled with some drugs, and there is no way to cure it completely. Such a situation requires more company and talking to her. Don’t let her have a sense of loneliness.” The doctor said.
Armand nodded, “I know these.”
The doctor looked at the medical records and said, “It is good if you know. Generally, the old lady has this disease is mostly caused by mental stimulation. Of course, this disease is most probably caused by old age. When I listened to your narrative, you mentioned that she was good before, and these symptoms only appeared recently. To get to this extent in a short time, her situation may be caused by some mental stimulation. If so, you must take care of her carefully. Please take care of her mental health.”
Armand said, “I got it.”
The doctor prescribed medicine, and Bertha went to pick it up while he pushed Elizabeth, “You’re not sick, are you?” Elizabeth asked.
Armand looked at her and said, “No, I’m fine.”
“It’s good that you’re fine.” Elizabeth looked relieved.
Armand watched the change in her expression. He was dreary and he whispered, “Let’s go home.”
“Okay.” Elizabeth smiled.
When they arrived home, Elizabeth told Bertha, “Armand love to eat pork ribs, so you cooked ribs tonight.”
Bertha looked at Armand. He nodded at her, and she said towards Elizabeth, “Okay.”
Due to Elizabeth’s condition, Armand had to spend time at home with her. However, the person in the case he took wanted to see him.
The person asked him to meet outside. Armand intended to go and return quickly, so he asked Bertha to watch her, “Don’t go out if there’s nothing important.”
“Okay,” Bertha replied.
They met in a cafe. When Armand arrived at the cafe, the other party was already there. He walked towards the table and sat opposite her.
“What would you like to drink?” She asked.
Armand said a glass of plain water would be fine.
The person placed an envelope in front of him.
Armand picked it up, and he probably knew what was inside. He said, “You found the evidence so soon?”
“Originally, he did not know that I knew that he cheated on me, so he didn’t guard on me. It’s not difficult to get the evidence too. This is the hotel where he and that mistress checked in a room. I managed to get the record of it.” Although she was a pregnant woman, and the time of her marriage was not very long, she looked very calm.
From the beginning to the end, she did not show any aggressive behaviour.
Armand had been a lawyer for quite some time and he met all kinds of clients.
However, this woman was married for a short time and pregnant. It was really rare to see a person so calm when she knew her husband cheated on her. She did not show any sad or hysterical expressions.
Armand looked at the record. The husband had been for a total of a dozen times. It seemed that he went to the same hotel every time. Inside the envelope, there was a flash drive.
“What’s inside this?” Armand asked.
The client answered, “Only with the hotel room records, it can’t be said to be a piece of solid evidence. When the time comes, he will certainly argue that they were just discussing things in the room. By that time, we can’t do anything about it if he said so. Hence, this is of course a piece of solid evidence.”
Armand raised his eyelids and looked at her.
She laughed, “Do you think I’m too eager to destroy him?”
“No.” Armand told the truth, “I’m surprised that you are so calm.”
