Chapter 78: Change
Hospital
After the doctor checked Serena, he turned to Cristian and said, “The patient must have had a big scare.”
Did she get a scare? Cristian squinted his eyes. How could she be frightened if she had stayed in the room? Impossible…This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - ©.
Cristian remembered the darkness that enveloped the mansion when he went there.
Was it possible that she was afraid of the dark?
The patient was severely frightened. She was too frightened, consequently she fell into her own fantasy, so…
Luke looked curiously at Serena lying on the hospital bed and said suspiciously, “It is normal for ordinary people to be afraid of the dark, but even if you are afraid of the dark, it will never come to that, will it? Doctor, there are no wounds or other things on her body?”
“We checked everything. Apart from low blood pressure and poor physical fitness, there are no other abnormalities. However, is she pregnant? In the future, she cannot be frightened anymore. I think it is due to the presence of the fetus. If this happens again, she will have a miscarriage.”
“But doctor, why is she still in this state?”
Luca recounted the situation at that time, and the doctor pondered for a while before answering, “It is possible that the patient has a psychological disorder towards these places, so the damage she has suffered is ten times greater than normal people.”
“Psychological disorder? “Luca unconsciously looked at Cristian.
He tightened his thin lips, and his eyes fell on Serena’s face and remained silent.
“So doctor, when will she wake up?”
“Wait, let her mind recover. The patient has to do some investigations before she wakes up.”
Luke was stunned and almost wanted to ask if the patient had not done the assessments herself.
After the doctor left, two people remained in the room.
“Sir, Serena may not wake up tonight, right?”
As soon as he had finished speaking, Luca felt that the atmosphere around him had become much colder and quickly took two steps back, “Then I’ll go see if Maya is here.”
After Luca quickly left the room, the atmosphere became calmer, yet Cristian continued to stare at Serena’s pale, motionless face.
What was going on?
Was it the psychological disorder for the dark?
***
Serena had a long dream.
In the dream she had become small. She had become a four to five year old girl and had been locked up in a small dark room. Inside the room there was no light, no food or water.
There was only a small bed, on which a thin blanket was spread.
She curled up in a corner like a small ball, and from time to time she heard a noise outside, which made her nervous and made her shiver.
She was starved for three whole days. Her little body was skinny. Her eye sockets were sunken so much that she no longer looked like a person.
A screech was heard.
The door was opened and a figure approached her, causing her to gasp!
Little Serena could bear the pain no longer and screamed.
“How dare you scream. You waste the money! How dare you scream!”
“Ha, ha, ha!”
“Today I will hurt you. I will make you obedient. I will make you obedient!”
“I don’t want to. It hurts… I don’t want you to hit me…”
In the silent room, Serena, who had been lying quietly on the bed, suddenly screamed, drawing Cristian’s gaze.
“Don’t hit me. It hurts… mom….”
Cristian pulled the wheelchair closer for a few minutes and his tall body leaned slightly close to her. She frowned slightly when she heard the words overflowing from his mouth.
Don’t hit me?
It hurt!!!
Cristian seemed to have captured some important information from these two words, while Serena seemed to be stunned and still asleep. These words were completely unconscious; they were said in the last sentence.
Cristian frowned, stroking her forehead with his hand. His fingers slowly fell to the corner of her eye and wiped away her tears.
The features of her face twitched.
This feeling… was it very painful?
“Wake up!”Crisitian’s voice suddenly became louder!
“It hurts… it hurts… “This was the only thing Serena said over and over again. Cristian saw pain in her expression and his big hand suddenly grabbed her thin white wrist, “Wake up! Don’t live in a dream!”
Probably because his strength was too great, Serena’s defined eyebrows frowned more, continuing to cry out in pain as she quickly opened her eyes.
Against all odds, her eyes met Cristian’s, who with an unconscious movement that loosend her wrist he was clutching. A bruise appeared on Serena’s white wrist.
However, before Cristian had time to say anything, Serena closed her eyes and lost consciousness.
Cristian: “…..”
Only this time, after closing her eyes, Serena no longer cried out in pain; the expression on her face returned to normal.
What had happened before?
Although Cristian had never seen a dead person, seeing Serena in that state, lying there silent, motionless and devoid of any emotion gave him the impression that she was dead.
At that moment she was different, even though she was still lying there with her eyes closed, she was showing signs of life.
Cristian breathed a deep sigh of relief, lowered his gaze to her wrist and reached out again, gently stroking his fingertips over the bruise, so gently that he did not even notice.
About fifteen minutes later, Luca brought Maya back. As soon as Maya walked in and saw Serena lying on the hospital bed, a veil of pity appeared over her eyes.
“Serena, why does her body react like that? She was in the hospital last time, and she is in the hospital today too.”
“Take care of her.” Cristian said to Maya, after which he pushed the wheelchair and left the room followed by Luca.
“Mr. Cristian?”
“Check all Serena’s information including her background, and check everything in detail.”
Hearing this, Luca’s pace became slower and surprisedly he asked, “Sir? Why did you suddenly remember to check Serena’s information? She is not….” Wasn’t she married instead of her sister? Anyway, if the two divorced in six months, what difference did it make if he check her?
“I want all the information by tomorrow morning.”
Right away, what Cristian said changed Luca’s expression, “What? If you want them by tomorrow morning. I’ll have to stay up all night…”
“Is there a problem?”
He looked at him and turned around.
Luca straightened his back, “No problem, absolutely no problem! Tomorrow morning I’ll send you all the documents! ”
Even if he said so, looking up a person’s information in one night would have been a daunting task.
After the stress earlier, it was already ten o’clock. He was very tired and still had to look for the information.
*
At dawn the next day, after Cristian got up to wash, Luke sent him the documents.
“Sir, I found the information for you last night. I think I know why Serena is like this. Take a look.”
Finished speaking, Luca immediately sent the documents.
Cristian became upset, “Why?”
