Chapter 380 Schizophrenia
Chapter 380 Schizophrenia Mitchel slept straight for three days.
Strangely enough, the hospital couldn't determine the content of the injection, and Mitchel's body remained perfectly healthy.
As for why Mitchel remained unconscious for three days, the doctors couldn't provide a reasonable explanation. Yet, they were sure of one thing. His health was in perfect condition.
The syringe they found didn't show signs of anything unusual. It was filled with nothing more than water, plain and simple the most ordinary substance.
Matteo, feeling uneasy, called upon a highly respected senior expert for
consultation, but the conclusion remained unchanged. There were no physical problems, and Mitchel should wake up soon.
Likewise, Devonte brought in experts from abroad, but the response stayed the same.
With no other choice, Matteo had to remain by Mitchel's side at all times.
Without instructions from Mitchel, Matteo didn't dare to inform Mitchel's family. He informed no one else but Luis.
After all, Mitchel had made it clear that in case of emergencies, Luis was the man to turn to.
Furthermore, Matteo felt more at ease to have Luis by Mitchel's side with Luis' expertise in the medical field.
When Mitchel regained consciousness, everything seemed a bit unreal. With
his pale face, he blinked, adjusting to the brightness in the room, instinctively looking around for Raegan. But only Matteo's dark shadow appeared before Mitchel.
"Mr. Dixon, you're awake!" Matteo exclaimed in surprise.
"Um..." Maybe because he hadn't spoken in days, Mitchel's voice came out hoarse and barely recognizable.
"That's great!" Matteo was so excited he was on the verge of tears.
If Mitchel had not woken up today, Matteo would not have been able to keep going. Ultimately, there were piles of documents to handle, and while Matteo could keep Mitchel's coma a secret, he couldn't make choices on Mitchel's behalf.
"Mr. Dixon, regarding that injection fluid, it's..."
Just as Matteo was about to bring up the syringe, Mitchel cut him off.
"Raegan... How's she doing?" Mitchel cared little about his own condition. Instead and was deadly worried about Raegan. After all, th memory of Raegan suffering in his embrace that day caused an unbearable ache in his heart.
Observing Mitchel's anxious look, Matteo stayed quiet for a moment before saying, "She is in good health.
You don't have to worry about her." Mitchel appeared somewhat doubtful as he persisted, "Are you sure?" "Yes, Mr. Dixon." Matteo glanced at Mitchel's pale face, feeling sad. He choked up a bit and said, "I visit her every day, and the doctors have assured me everything's fine." While Raegan was doing well, Mitchel
didn't wake up until now. Matteo couldn't shake off the unease regarding the content of the the syringe. Lauren appeared to have lost it back then.
"Mr. Dixon, about that syringe...
Matteo started to recount the whole story.
Mitchel popped himself up. He moved his arms and wiggled his toes effortlessly. Apart from the numbness in his limbs before, it appeared there were no other effects on his body.
Matteo explained, "The police think Lauren might have occasional schizophrenia. It's likely she meant to fill the syringe with poison but ended up using the wrong one by mistake." For now, this was the only speculation.
After all, there was no other evidence to be found.
Mitchel didn't dwell on it, especially since he didn't feel anything wrong with his body.
But when Matteo brought up Lauren possibly having schizophrenia, Mitchel's brow furrowed slightly a: asked, "Are you certain about her having schizophrenia?" "Yes, it has been confirmed. Three separate evaluations, including one from our own medical team," Matteo hurriedly responded, understanding Mitchel's concern. "Don't worry.
Lauren was in her right mind during the incident, so she won't get away with it." Given the gravity of Lauren's offenses, there was no escaping severe punishment.
Furthermore, even if her actions were influenced by schizophrenia at that time, someone this dangerous would
still be sentenced to life imprisonment "What's the news on Raegan?" Mitchel 1 glanced at Matteo and asked, "When did Raegan wake up?" "Just yesterday morning." "Did she ever come by?" Matteo paused for a moment before answering carefully, "No, it seems she has just regained consciousness and might not be fully back to strength yet." These words were chosen by Matteo based on Mitchel's expression.
Earlier, Matteo mentioned Raegan was doing fine, but now he's saying she's not fully recovered. Mitchel was not a fool. He could see through Matteo's attempts to avoid the subject. He looked at Matteo intently and asked, Did you tell her about the syringe?"
Matteo shook his head. "No, the police haven't made it public, and aside from Mr. Stevens, no one else is aware." Matteo was well aware of the potential impact such news could have, especially on stock values, and wouldn't speak irresponsibly.
"Let's keep it that way." "Mr. Dixon, you're sure you don't want to tell her?" Matteo felt bad for Mitchel.
At that moment, if Raegan hadn't fallen ill unexpectedly, Mitchel could have easily avoided the syringe. Yet, Mitchel chose to hold back from telling her.
A faint smile crossed Mitchel's face.
"She doesn't need to burden herself with such minor details." Mitchel's concern was that Raegan might worry too much, but also feared she might not think about it at all...
Hence, it was best she remained unaware. No expectations meant avoiding disappointment.
Matteo was left speechless.
Just then, Luis entered Mitchel's ward.
Not long after Matteo's call, letting him know that Mitchel had woken up, Luis hurried over to check on Mitchel.
Despite the examination by other doctors, he still felt uneasy about Mitchel's condition.
After observing Mitchel, Luis was confused. "Is it possible that Lauren is truly insane?" Mitchel seemed completely fine, and all the test results confirmed it. Could it be that Lauren simply trying to frighten people? Even so, Luis couldn't afford to relax.
After putting away his stethoscope, Luis said, "I'l have your blood sent
overseas for a more advanced analysis.
I know someone with access to the newest blood sequencing technology.
However, she's currently on assignment with Doctors Without Borders, though, and won't return for a month. If you feel any discon recently, just let me know immediately, alright?" Mitchel appeared rather indifferent, showing more concern for Raegan as he asked, "Have you scheduled a complete checkup for Raegan?" Mitchel was particularly anxious about the potential blood clot in Raegan's brain. He had privately requested Luis to find a skilled surgeon with a track record of successful procedures.
Luis reassured Mitchel with a smile, "All taken care of. I made sure not to mention your involvement when arranging it."
"And the results?" Mitchel asked.
"For now, except for the blood clot, Raegan's body is in excellent condition. There are no other health concerns. Even the scar from the cesarean section four years ago hac healed nicely, barely noticeable." Four years ago... Mitchel's face took on a confused look. "Did you say the operation was four years ago?" "Actually, it's been about four and a half years," Luis clarified.
Mitchel was momentarily stunned.
"How old would a child be if born four and a half years ago?" Luis looked at Mitchel and was relieved to know Mitchel was not clueless. He answered, "Obviously be around four and a half years old." Luis then pulled out his phone, displaying a photo of an adorable girl. © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.
"I ran into this adorable kid downstairs. She reminds me of you when you were little."
