Chapter 2020 Retain Your Affection

As widely known, when people were dying, out of their instinct for survival, they would struggle desperately.

With the conditions in the bathroom, as well as Larry's height being relatively tall, he should logically be able to escape. Larry demonstrated an immense amount of willpower in his pursuit of death.

Upon concluding her examination of the files, Athena's throat felt sore.

"Drink some water." Ennis offered her a glass of warm water, and Athena looked up at him.

"You have known for a long time that Byron may have inherited Larry's family genetic disease. Therefore, my involvement in Daisy's situation made me deliver myself to you, right?”

"While the statement may sound harsh, it does bring about numerous benefits." Ennis paused. "Mr. Larry Crawford's death has always been a pity for my father. So after | started studying psychology, | paid special attention to the descendants of Mr. Larry Crawford. After your plane crash, | actually had contact with Mr. Crawford once through Miss Bates. | was afraid that his latent illness might resurface amidst his sorrow."

"Did you find out anything at that time?" Athena frowned.

“At that time, Mr. Crawford was only severely depressed and did not have any other symptoms." Ennis replied, "Initially, | wanted to monitor him further, but after he began to improve, he rejected any treatment besides his personal physician."

Athena chose to remain silent, cautiously looking at Ennis.

Ennis proceeded calmly, saying, "What caught me off guard once more was that when you had discovered him on this occasion, | had come across a recording of your journey by chance. During this footage, | observed that his movements were uneven and not quite natural. As you know, certain mental illnesses can manifest in physical symptoms."

"What are Byron's physical symptoms?" Athena frowned, but she actually already had an answer in her heart.

“His physician must have informed you that his recuperation from his leg injury wasn't proceeding as hoped, correct?" Ennis asked.

Athena hesitated for a moment before nodding. "Did he ever walk normally without crutches?" Ennis asked again. "Just tell me your conclusion," Athena said.

"The last time | provided Mr. Crawford with psychological counseling, | observed that deep down, he believes you'll only care for him when he's ill, feeble, and vulnerable." Ennis fixed Athena with a meaningful stare. "Hence, in order to retain your affection, his subconscious persuaded his body to maintain that injured leg in a non-healing state."

Athena frowned.

"Ms. Stella, | have no ill intentions towards you and Mr. Crawford. The tragedy that befell my father is still fresh in my memory, and | do not wish for history to repeat itself." Ennis said warmly, "You don't have to be cautious around me."

Athena met Ennis' gaze. "Just tell me directly."

"Okay, | admit that | was not totally honest, and | apologize," Ennis said sincerely.

She turned and began walking towards the door. "Ms. Stella." Ennis rose from his seat and spoke once more. Athena looked back at him. "Is there anything else?"
