Chapter 73 Sylvester Is Afraid

Upon hearing this, Sylvester's anger turned into guilt. Mildred and Charlie exchanged glances but remained silent.

Sylvester suddenly seemed to release a burden, walking back to the bedside and recounting everything that had happened in the basement.

"That's roughly what happened." Sylvester held Lela's hand to his lips, kissing it gently as if to alleviate her pain.

So, that's what happened. After hearing this explanation and reflecting on the signs of distress he had just examined, Vanessa probably understood as well. Vanessa was momentarily silent, watching Sylvester's melancholy figure.

She said, "I wonder if Mr. Gomez has heard of a condition called acute stress reaction, also known as terror neurosis."

"It refers to an abnormal fear and intense anxiety that a patient experiences when faced with certain external situations or objects that cannot be avoided but must be endured. This can manifest as blushing, shortness of breath, sweating, palpitations, changes in blood pressure, weakness, and even fainting."

"I suspect this young lady's condition is similar to that. It falls under the category of psychological disorder, and its treatment options using medication are quite limited."

Sylvester pursed his lips, grasping onto a crucial statement as he stared at Lela's face. He asked, "You mean to say that if I had discovered her condition in time and brought her out, this wouldn't have happened?" Vanessa paused before responding, "That's... correct, Mr. Gomez."
