Chapter 344: Her Freddy Bear
"Is she really not pretending?"
Talia asked the doctor checking Sophia who was restrained to the bed. Apparently, she suddenly started screaming saying odd things, tried to undress and run away. She had forgotten her name even. She was highly sedated and yet she still hasn’t calmed down. The doctor was typing in the tests that need to be taken in the iPad.
"Your Highness, we’ll know for sure after these tests. If there aren’t any physical disorders that come up during these tests, we can safely conclude that this Lady-"He cleared his throat, "This accused is mentally disordered."
"Did she meet with a lawyer? Is this how she’s going to play this out? Just before interrogation, she magically became insane? How is that possible?" Cyril gritted his teeth and Arthur wrapped his arm around Talia’s waist.
Talia looked to her side and watched the complex emotions in Arthur’s face. He really wasn’t pleased. Even Talia wasn’t pleased with the timing this happened.
"That janitor..." Talia heard Arthur mumble and she pressed her lips. With the odd timing this happened, the janitor could be involved.
"Can I?" Talia wanted to take a closer look at Sophia and asked the doctor. The doctor was reluctant but nodded half-heartedly seeing Talia’s focused look. But as she took a step forward, Talia felt Arthur’s hand around her waist, stopping her from moving forward.
"She is totally restrained."
Talia’s unwavering eyes made Arthur release his grip on her waist. By now slowly the sedatives had taken effect and Sophia had calmed down.
Talia got closer and Sophia was staring blankly at the ceiling, still mumbling something as her lips were quivering. Talia could see the emptiness in Sophia’s eyes and knew she is not all there. She really has lost her mind.
Talia bent and looked straight in Sophia’s eyes. She could see her reflection in her eyes and Sophia’s eyes that were restlessly moving, focused on her.
