Chapter 382Chapter 382 She Was Diagnosed with Stress Disorder After leaving the safari park, Lucia sat in the
passenger seat and never spoke on the way to the hospital.
Everything that had happened recently flashed through her mind like a movie.
She suddenly thought of what Jeanne had said to her that day when she came to see her.
At that time, Jeanne had warned her.
Now that something had happened to Janet and the suspect was a man who looked like Mark, which
was suspicious.
“Lucia..."
Paul's soft and gentle voice came from the side, and Lucia slowly came to her sense.She took a deep
breath and turned to look at Paul.
Paul felt sorry for her.
He persuaded softly while driving, "Don't worry.Janet will be fine."
Lucia's face didn't change.She knew well that he was just trying to comfort her and these comforting
words had no substantial effect.
Just when she didn't know how to answer, the car's Bluetooth suddenly rang, and Paula called.
Paul didn't hesitate, and immediately pressed the answer button, "Hello? How's Janet?"
Paula's worried voice came from the other end of the phone, "Janet is awake, but not in a good
condition."When Lucia heard this, her face suddenly changed.
She straightened up quickly and asked, "What...what's wrong with her?"
Paula hesitated for a moment, and then said softly, "I can't tell.Anyway, come back and have a look as
soon as possible."
Lucia's heart tightened a lot after she heard Paula's words.She clenched her fists tightly and felt
anxious and helpless.
Paul stepped on the accelerator and drove faster.
Soon, the car arrived at the door of the hospital.
Before he could stop the car, Lucia had already pushed the door open and run into the hospital.She ran
to the door of the ward panting.
As soon as she opened the door, she saw Paula standing at the door with a troubled face.
"Lucia, you are finally here!"
Seeing Lucia coming in, Paula seemed to see a savior.
"What's wrong?"
Lucia frowned, looked up at the hospital bed, and found that the quilt on the bed was bulging, and
Timothy was lying on the edge of the bed, guarding his sister.
Paula moved her lips.
After hesitating, she stretched out her hand, pulled Lucia out of the ward, and closed the door.She looked at Paul who was following and then at Lucia and said, "Just now when Janet woke up, she
buried herself under the quilt and said she was scared.No matter how I tried to persuade her, it didn't
work..."
When Lucia heard this, her heart ached, and a surge of grief came all over her.
It seemed that Janet had been left with a psychological shadow after being bitten by a snake this
time.Her nose felt sour, and she burst into tears suddenly.
Seeing this, Paul hurriedly persuaded on the side, "Lucia, don't worry.Janet has the best relationship
with you.You go and see what's going on with her, and we'll talk about it later."
Hearing what he said, Lucia nodded and took a deep breath, "I'll go over and see how she's doing."
With that, she raised her hand, wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, and calmed herself
down.Then she walked into the ward and stopped in front of the bed.
Timothy raised his head and looked a little exhausted.He stretched out his hand and grabbed the
corner of Lucia's shirt, and said softly, "Mom, you're back."
Lucia nodded, patted him on the head in distress, sat down beside the bed, and gently tucked her
daughter in.
Lucia took a deep breath and asked patiently, "Janet, are you awake?"
Hearing Lucia's voice, the little ball under the quilt moved slightly, but there was no response at all.
Lucia took a deep breath, raised her hand and patted the quilt lightly, and said softly, "I'm back.Are you
sure you won't come out and have a look? I'm here.Don't be afraid..."
After coaxing and persuading her for a long time, the little figure under the quilt reacted a little.Slowly, the quilt was lifted, revealing a pair of big round eyes.
Those eyes were naive, timid, and watery.
Lucia couldn't help feeling sorry for her daughter.
Janet asked cautiously, "Mom, are there any snakes outside?"
Seeing that her baby girl was so frightened, Lucia felt a burst of distress and guilt in her heart.She
quickly reached out and took her into her arms, and persuaded, "No, I'm here.Don't be afraid."
Janet curled up into a small ball and was hugged tightly by Lucia, but she still didn't dare to move and
looked out vigilantly.
After chatting with Janet for a while in the ward, and finally coaxing her to sleep, Lucia secretly sighed.
After handing Timothy over to Paula, she went to see the doctor with Paul.
In the doctor's office, the doctor looked solemn.
After a pause, he raised his eyes to look at Lucia and Paul who were sitting opposite, and said, "Janet's
current condition can be called stress disorder, and she is very sensitive to external things.If she is
stimulated again, I'm afraid it will get very serious."
As soon as Lucia heard this, her heart suddenly trembled, "Well, doctor, how should we treat her?!"
"First heal the wound, and then focus on psychology.It's best for family members to accompany her all
the time and try to help her overcome fear with your care.That's all."
Hearing this, Lucia fell silent.Suddenly, her hand felt warm, and a big hand covered the back of her hand.She turned her head to
meet Paul's clear eyes.
He said, "Don't worry.We will be able to accompany Janet through this difficult time."
Lucia nodded and looked at him with inexplicable strength in her heart.
She also believed that Janet would slowly get better.
But in the next three days, the situation was not optimistic.
Janet was not only full of fear of the outside world, but her appetite also decreased.
Soon, she looked thinner, and her thin chin looked distressing.
Even if she accidentally saw the shadow of a tree on the window at night, she would scream in fright,
and shiver under the quilt.
Lucia saw it and felt so sorry for Janet, but there was no good way to improve it.
On the morning of the third day, Lucia ran to the doctor's office again and asked worriedly, "Doctor, is
there nothing we can do?"
"There is a way, to get Janet's good friends to accompany her more.When she's happy, it is easy for
her to forget other things."
When Lucia heard this, she couldn't help frowning.
Janet's good friends were all in Amecan.
It seemed unrealistic to ask them to come over and help Janet.In the past two days, she had also tried to get Timothy to talk to Janet more, but Janet's condition was
still not very good.
Bill and Elisa had also come to visit her several times but to no avail.
After leaving the doctor's office, Lucia returned to the ward.
She took Janet into her arms, and asked softly, "Janet, do you want to go somewhere? I will take you
out to play."
Janet shook her head, buried her face in her arms, and refused to move.
Lucia felt a little distressed.
novelbinAfter a pause, she continued to ask patiently, "Is there anyone you want to see?"
If Janet wanted to meet her friends in Amecan, it was not impossible.
She could make video calls at least.
The little fluffy head buried in her arms suddenly moved.
Soon, Janet raised her head, looked at her, hesitated, and asked, "Mom, can I see Handsome Uncle ?"
Hearing this, Lucia frowned and didn't know what to say.
She hadn't expected that the person Janet wanted to see most at such a time was him!
