CHAPTER 385: CHAPTER 385: MENTAL BREAKDOWN

Everyone gathered around.

Only Julius Shaw shackled himself to the sofa, unable to approach for a moment.

Hailey Smith asked anxiously, "Young Madam, how are you?"

Ian Bailey also asked, "Little girl, didn’t I tell you to take care of your health? What exactly happened?"

No one was quite sure what had happened to make Nancy Allen end up like this.

However, when Nancy awoke, her gaze showed no emotion, carrying an empty bewilderment like she didn’t recognize anyone.

Seeing so many people surrounding her, she instinctively shrank back.

Julius Shaw couldn’t free himself from the handcuffs, his deep and urgent voice shouted through the crowd: "Nancy!"

The originally vacant and bewildered Nancy looked up at the familiar voice, suddenly panicked and shouted, "I need to eat, yes, I need dinner!"

No one reacted immediately; why suddenly demand dinner?

Moreover, Nancy suddenly became agitated.

Basil Smith stepped forward and softly said, "Young Madam, you’ve been vomiting excessively before, leading to some gastric bleeding, it’s not suitable for you to eat right now."

Yet Nancy seemed unable to hear the people around her, screaming, "No! I will eat properly; I won’t vomit anymore, never again!"

Everyone’s expressions changed.

Even though Hailey Smith didn’t understand medicine, he could see that the Young Madam’s mental state seemed to have a problem.

Nancy’s face was pale, like a terrified little beast cornered, only remembering Julius Shaw forcing her to eat properly.

Nancy’s psyche was a crumbling bridge, always on the verge of collapsing.

The blood and hatred once drove her increasingly mad, until she died once to quell the uncontrollable madness and self-harm.

Awakening after five years in a coma, she seemed normal again, capable of living like an ordinary person.

But internally, she was as fragile as walking a tightrope.

If serenity prevailed, and she received careful nurturing, those deeply ingrained traumas might gradually be redeemed.

But Julius Shaw’s appearance shattered everything, first forcibly possessing Nancy, then using Sophie Allen to coerce her.

He essentially wiped out Nancy’s hope with his own hands, pushed her off a cliff, causing her psyche to fully collapse.

Initially, everyone thought Nancy’s most serious problem was her physical condition, believing she would slowly recover once awakened.

But now it seemed the issue was more severe with her mental health.

Hailey Smith was panicked and looked at his brother.

This time Basil Smith did not speak a solution, just frowned tightly.

Hailey Smith turned to Ian Bailey.

Ian Bailey also frowned.

Julius Shaw watched Nancy from afar, almost breaking his fingers, finally freed himself from the handcuffs, burdened as if carrying a mountain, approached Nancy step by step.

Nancy looked at that once deeply attractive face; now all she felt inside was fear.

She shrank back more intensely than before, screaming loudly, "Don’t come, don’t come!"

In that scream and panic, Nancy broke free from the blood transfusion needle, plasma scattered everywhere, and seeing the vast amount of blood, her gaze became even more terrified.

No one thought Nancy would look like this upon awakening.

Julius Shaw, amid Nancy’s screams, pushed past Hailey Smith to approach Nancy, his hand, bleeding from the handcuffs, grabbed Nancy’s arm like clutching at straws, commanding, "You must not fear me!"

Nancy was his only light in living; if even Nancy feared him, what was the point of his existence?

Julius Shaw didn’t know what to do, resorting to commanding in the most primal way.

Nancy grabbed by Julius Shaw, nearly collapsed emotionally: "Go away, go away! I don’t want to see this face, you’re not him! Not!"

Hailey Smith and Basil Smith watched the Young Madam’s state, feeling breathless, what had Young Master Shaw done to make the Young Madam like this?

Young Madam was a cold and ethereal figure, how could she possibly scream and shout in fear before so many people?

How would the eldest master handle seeing Young Madam like this upon waking?

Basil Smith gestured to Hailey Smith.

Hailey Smith immediately stepped forward to pull Julius Shaw away.

Basil Smith immediately went to get a sedative, hoping to calm Nancy down so she wouldn’t harm herself.

Ian Bailey furiously shouted, "You bastard, what did you do? Stop it, you can’t stimulate her any longer."

Len Taylor, in the corner, finally had the chance to speak, quickly said, "Some time ago, this young madam developed anorexia; then Young Master Shaw threatened her to eat using that child Sophie Allen, I knew there would be backlash, I knew something would happen."

Everyone looked at Julius Shaw with eyes filled with anger.

Madness, truly madness, how could anyone do such a thing!

Such a lovely child like Sophie, how could one have the heart?

Julius Shaw’s eyes became increasingly red, his gaze flickering with a kind of uncontrolled madness, he fiercely kicked towards Hailey Smith.

Hailey Smith, unprepared, received the kick, feeling as if his bones were broken, the pain so intense he could hardly straighten his back.

Julius Shaw was that kind of person, never caring about anyone’s hindrance, no matter anyone’s opinion, if he thought about Nancy, no one would stop him, he’d act directly.

Hailey Smith steeled himself, shouted to a few female bodyguards, "You all stop him, don’t let him near!"

The female bodyguards, though somewhat afraid, still tried to stop him.

The room became chaotic instantly.

In the scuffle, even Ian Bailey was pushed, his age betrayed his fragile waist.

Nancy’s screams intensified; previously injured voice making it hoarse and unpleasant.

If this continues, not only her voice would be injured, but her mind would be further battered.

She almost fell off her bed, crawled over, picking up a piece of glass.

The glass was from a broken mirror during the fight.

Nancy desperately grasped the glass shard, crying hoarsely to the front, "Don’t come, don’t come."

She held it so tightly her palm instantly got cut, blood flowed down her sleeve, but it was like she couldn’t feel pain, only fearfully shouted at Julius Shaw to stay away.

Ian Bailey did not join the chaos, first noticing Nancy’s condition, holding his waist, alarmed, "Young lady, let go, quickly let go!"

Ian Bailey’s shout startled everyone, pausing for a second, instinctively looked at Nancy.

Everyone then saw Nancy holding the shard tightly.

All fighting ceased, even the vicious Julius Shaw stopped.

Nancy met Julius Shaw’s eyes, her voice trembling, "I... I’ll eat soon, don’t come!"

Ian Bailey sternly told Julius Shaw, "She’s already lost too much blood, she can’t be stimulated anymore; if you don’t want her dead, leave immediately!"

Again with death!

That word death like an iron hammer violently struck in Julius Shaw’s heart, his breath hurt so much it was labored.

Julius Shaw, completely out of control, upon seeing the blood dripping from Nancy’s palm, had a moment of clarity in his eyes.

He swiftly turned, staggeringly exited the room, slammed the door, trapping himself outside.
