Divorce Anxiety (Kathleen and Samuel)

After retracting her hands, Kathleen held Vivian's wrist.

Vivian flinched and raised her head to stare at Kathleen from under her long, thick bangs.

Curling up her red lips, Kathleen cooed, “I'm not here to hurt you. Can you give me your hand?”

Vivian gave no response, but her wrist remained in Kathleen's hands.

Kathleen silently breathed in relief and began checking Vivian's pulse.

However, she only frowned deeper.

“How's she?” Caleb asked, his hands tucked in his pockets.

Kathleen put down Vivian's hands and stood up. “Let's talk outside.”

Caleb inclined his head.

After leaving the room, Kathleen stared seriously at him.

“She had been pregnant before?”

Caleb nodded.

“However, her way of aborting the baby was very extreme, so her health was severely affected. Mr. Lewis, if you don't tell me why she became mad, I can't save her,” Kathleen declared, knitting her brows.

Clenching his fingers, Caleb maintained his composure and said, “She was pregnant, but she didn't want the child, so she tied a rope around her abdomen and...”

“Why didn't you stop her?” Kathleen gasped in horror.

After all, it was too cruel.

“She already did that when we found out.” Staring at her blankly, Caleb asked, “Do you have any methods to make her return to normal?”

“We can only cure her once we target the source of her illness. Although I've learned Granddad's secret technique, it has a disadvantage,” Kathleen replied solemnly.

“What is it?”

“It will shorten a person's lifespan by half.”

Caleb fell silent.

“Is there no other way?” he asked, staring darkly at her.

Kathleen shook her head. “Unless we find out why she became mad and gradually treat her afterward.”

After a moment's contemplation, Caleb suggested, “What if you treat her first?”
