A Call That Changed Her Entire Life

Louis turned around and looked at Taylor straight in the eyes. He then asked, "When can we know that he's sure of the murderer's identity?"

He wanted to know the truth as soon as possible. That way, he wouldn't feel so sorry for Scott's parents. He believed that putting the culprit behind bars would definitely speed up Scott's recovery.

"I'm afraid it's impossible to tell at this moment. Even if Scott wakes up, we can't ask him too many questions. He might relapse if we overstimulate him, and if that happens, we will be right back where we started," Taylor meticulously explained.

Everyone was hoping that the mysterious case involving Scott's family would soon be solved. However, Taylor knew she was responsible for her patient's well-being. She had gone through so much trouble just to pacify Scott. If something were to happen that might agitate him, she was afraid that he would inevitably have a mental breakdown.

They needed to be extremely cautious since it would be a disaster if Scott were to have a meltdown. In case that happened, there would be little hope in finding any clues, not to mention it might become literally impossible to confirm whether Bill was really the murderer or not.

With that in mind, it was clear that she had to take things slowly.

"We have to be patient with him in the coming days. I highly suggest you mentally prepare yourself for the work in front of us, Louis," Taylor uttered.

After taking a good look at Louis and making sure that he was no longer feeling anxious, Taylor continued, "If we want to get precise information from Scott, we have to wait until he is completely recovered."

Louis slightly nodded in agreement and kept his mouth closed.

"Having said that, you don't have to worry too much. Judging by the rate of how fast Scott is recovering, it shouldn't take him that long to get back to his normal self."

After Taylor finished speaking, the living room suddenly fell into silence. Louis could only stare at the tea table at that moment. He couldn't think of a single thing to say. On the other hand, Taylor was in a daze and deep in thought. As a matter of fact, she wanted to leave that very moment. After all, she was finished with all her work in the MK Manor for today.

However, while Taylor was having a hard time deciding whether she should bid Louis farewell before leaving, he gave her a peculiar look.

As a result, Taylor knew in her mind that it was time to go. She said, "Scott's treatment is over for today, so I'm leaving now." And with that, she stood up and placed her bag over her shoulder.
