Chapter 205 No One Believed Her
Edgar received Gigi’s psychological evaluation report by evening. His expression darkened, and he clutched the report tightly. “Did you say she has perinatal depression?”
“Based on the evaluation report, Gigi is mentally unstable. It could be why she behaved strangely today. Furthermore, we found out that she had frequent emotional outbursts even when she was at home.”
Edgar’s gaze turned cold. He stared at the report for a long time. “What is the treatment plan?”
He cared more about the result than the treatment process. “We managed to appoint Dr. Wallace, the psychiatrist, to work on this. However, due to Ms. Reece’s condition, we need a more secure environment to carry out psychological counseling. If we carry out treatment in the hospital’s maternity ward, there are many limitations.”
“Get straight to the point.” Edgar furrowed his brow.
“After discussing with Dr. Wallace, we feel it is best to send Ms. Reece to the intensive care unit in our hospital’s psychiatry department. It will allow her to receive better treatment.”
Miles listened to the recommendations and observed Edgar’s expression. “Dr. Roffe, Ms. Reece is pregnant. Isn’t it inappropriate to do this?”
If news spreads that Edgar’s fiancée is diagnosed with a mental condition, it would be detrimental to Edgar’s reputation.
Furthermore, no one is certain whether the treatment would adversely affect her unborn baby.
Dr. Roffe wiped his sweat nervously. “We will prepare a single room for Ms. Reece. There was a similar case in the past, so it should be alright.”
“Should?”
Edgar suppressed the anger burning in his chest. “You have one week. I want to see the result by then.”
“That…” Dr. Roffe had more to say, but Edgar had already left.
Miles went to Dr. Roffe immediately. “Ms. Reece shall be transferred to the psychiatry ward tonight, and you must ensure full secrecy of the matter. If anything happens, no one will be able to hold back Mr. Royden’s fury.”
“Yes, understood. We will carry out everything properly.”
Dr. Roffe personally sent Miles to the door. Once Miles left in his car, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Then, he took out his phone and saw the message from Gigi’s phone. He frowned and mumbled, “Is it really perinatal depression?”
Half an hour later, the nurses helped her get ready and supported her to a wheelchair.
She looked at the nurses helping her and demanded, “Where are you taking me? I want to go home!”
“Ms. Reece, please don’t move. We will be there soon.”
“What do you mean?”
Suddenly a black cloth covered her head.
She bit the corner of her lip and cursed Jean a thousand times. Once I get out of here and get my phone back, I must throw this b*tch into the sea to feed the sharks.
The nurse kept pushing Gigi forward in a wheelchair, but Gigi could not see anything.
Suddenly, she heard the noises of a metal door being pulled open.
Then, the nurse stopped pushing her wheelchair, and swishing noises sounded nearby.
Gigi scolded, “What’s taking you so long? Get this thing off my head now!”
However, a pair of hands pressed onto her shoulders. “Ms. Reece, why the rush?”
Isn’t this voice…
“Jean!”
“Don’t worry. You will reach the psychiatry department soon. You should go there and receive treatment. It will be the best for you and your unborn child.” Jean leaned down and whispered into Gigi’s ear. “This is your punishment for using your child as a pawn.”
Gigi turned deathly pale.
Then, someone pulled off the black cloth over her head and pushed her on the wheelchair into the psychiatric ward.
She looked behind and saw Jean, in a face mask and a nurse’s uniform, waving at her.
“Argh!”
Gigi screamed.
The doctor and nurses waiting in the ward rushed out and surrounded her.
Dr. Wallace became vigilant and said, “You all must pay full attention to the patient’s emotional state. She is the psychiatric department’s VIP patient and Edgar’s fiancée. We can’t afford any mistake.”
The nurses nodded and used all their strength to help Gigi still, preventing her from moving recklessly.
Gigi did not stand a chance against their joint strength and had no choice but to let them push her into a patient’s room.
“Jean is there behind us! Bring that b*tch here to see me.”
Gigi shouted madly as the nurses helped her to the bed.
“How is that possible? Ms. Reece, you must have been mistaken.” Dr. Wallace was used to such behavior from a patient. He smiled and calmly persuaded her. “Don’t worry. The medical staff in the psychiatric department are experienced. I guarantee that you will recover and be discharged soon.”
Gigi swung her arm and slapped a nearby nurse.
“Listen to me. Bring Jean, that b*tch, in here. You have all fallen for her deception.”
The nurse’s eyes welled up with tears. She rushed out of the room to cry.
Dr. Wallace had no choice but to send someone to check if Jean was outside.
However, as he expected, Jean was nowhere to be found.
“Ms. Reece, you are mistaken. The person you said is not in the hospital. Please cooperate with our treatment plan. Otherwise, you give me no choice but to enforce strict measures.” Dr. Wallace’s expression turned stern.
No matter how influential or powerful Gigi was, she was still Dr. Wallace’s patient. Thus, he could not allow her to act recklessly, especially considering her mental condition.
Gigi’s furious voices and screams resounded from the room.
Meanwhile, Jean took off her mask and went into the emergency staircase.
Someone was already waiting for her there.
“Phoebe, thank you.” The nurse uniform Jean wore belonged to this woman.
This woman, Phoebe Jordan, was Jean’s friend in prison. However, they only hung out for a month before Phoebe was released.
“No need to thank me. Jean, it was you who helped me first. Otherwise, I could never survive there.” Phoebe smiled. The bitterness in her eyes lessened considerably.
She took the blame for her boyfriend and was sent to prison. Unfortunately, her boyfriend cheated on her while she was incarcerated.
She tried to kill herself in prison, but Jean stopped her.
“If someone found out that you lent your uniform to me, don’t worry. I will bear all the blame.” Jean did not want Phoebe to get into trouble because of her.
Phoebe was stunned for a moment before shaking her head. “Jean, it seems you don’t understand the advantage of a psychiatric ward. Who would believe the words of a psychiatric patient?”
“Even if I bring you in now and appear before Gigi, no one would believe her as long as I don’t reveal your identity.”
No one would believe that someone like Jean would show up in this ward.
“Don’t worry. I’m heading back to work now. Call me anytime you need my help.”
Phoebe left after that.
Jean slipped out of the hospital and into the dark night.
She was able to sneak out of Edgar’s villa because she told Susan that she needed to buy toiletries. It was time for her to return.
Furthermore, she was eager to see how Edgar would react.
The thought made her smile as she walked to the villa.
