Henry Stanton made a sound of agreent and said, "Then let’s et at the hospital entrance."
After the call ended, Sumr Monroe saw the sha on Henry Stanton’s face.
For him, having a wife with a ntal illness was an extrely humiliating matter.
Sumr turned her face away indifferently, looking out the car window, as if completely oblivious to what just happened.
Soon, they arrived at Ross Psychiatric Hospital.
Sumr opened the car door and got out, seeing Felix Jennings already waiting at the entrance.
When their eyes t, Sumr clearly saw the hatred in Felix Jennings’ eyes, but it flashed quickly, replaced by a smile.
"This must be Miss Monroe?" Felix Jennings approached and said to the just-arrived Henry Stanton, "Your wife ntioned that your eldest daughter is very beautiful, and seeing her today, it is indeed true. You’re truly blessed!"
Henry Stanton loved to hear complints, and upon hearing Felix Jennings’ praise, his face showed a smug expression.
But then Felix Jennings asked, "What exactly is your wife’s condition now? Is she... unwell?"
Henry Stanton’s face imdiately darkened again.
He found it hard to speak and simply said, "You’ll know once you’re inside."
Felix Jennings nodded and walked alongside Sumr Monroe towards the hospital.
After filling out the visiting forms, the dical staff led the three of them to Stella Monroe’s ward.
The psychiatric hospital’s structure was similar to a regular hospital, the only difference being the iron bars set up at each ward door, as if to confine livestock.
As soon as the door to Stella Monroe’s ward opened, Sumr saw Stella bound to the bed.
Stella was in a hospital gown, her hair disheveled, her complexion as pale as paper, and she looked utterly spiritless.
Sumr then glanced at Felix Jennings from the corner of her eye and saw Felix’s pupils constrict sharply, looking extrely distressed.
Ah, it seems Felix Jennings truly loves Stella Monroe.
Henry Stanton and Felix Jennings both remained silent, one feeling ashad, the other scared of revealing himself the mont he spoke.
Sumr was the first to break the silence, softly calling to the lifeless Stella staring at the ceiling, "Aunt, we’ve co to see you."
Stella, upon hearing the voice, swiftly looked towards them.
Her gaze clearly froze when it landed on Felix Jennings.
Henry Stanton stepped forward and asked, "How are you recovering?"
Stella’s eyes didn’t register Henry; instead, she looked at Sumr with resentnt, "It’s all your doing, you wicked woman! You must have done sothing!"
That was why she had those illusions, making Henry Stanton entirely believe she was insane and send her to this place where even a healthy person could be driven mad.
Listening to the wailing of the patients every day, she truly felt she was losing her mind!
Sumr turned to Henry Stanton with an innocent look and said, "Dad, it seems Aunt’s mind is still not very clear."
Stella was taken aback, then burst out cursing, "You wicked woman! You despicable woman! You’ll die a miserable death!"
Stella struggled with all her might, causing the chains to clatter as if she was trying to get up and fight Sumr.
But no matter how hard she tried, it was useless, because the chains were made specifically for restraining patients with mania; even the strongest person couldn’t break free, let alone Stella, a noblewoman unaccustod to manual labor.
Henry Stanton watched Stella’s condition and shook his head, saying, "Still the sa... Jennings, you might have to co back after a while. How can she be fild in this state?"
