The Ex and Her Riches

Half an hour later, Joshua conducted a thorough examination of Gwendolyn, including testing her blood to determine if the $404 RNA virus had been transmitted to her from her children.

As they waited for the results, he glanced at Cedrick’s swollen cheek and let out a soft sigh. “Cedrick, do you want to put on some ointment to reduce the swelling? Or an ice pack?”

Cedrick gently licked the cut in his inner mouth and nodded in agreement. “All right, once we have a better understanding of Gwenny’s condition, I’ll make sure to apply the necessary medication.”

“Okay.”

Silence ensued in the lab. None of them said a word as the air grew tense.

An hour later, the sky had turned completely dark.

Joshua finally received the results and made his way back to the ward with a serious expression.

Cedrick had been waiting beside Gwendolyn the entire time. He quickly got to his feet and inquired, “So?”

Joshua held the lab report tightly and looked at Cedrick. “Cedrick, there is good news and bad news. Which one do you want to hear first?”

Cedrick’s expression turned dark. Why is he asking me to choose?

Tamping down his impatience, he replied, “Tell me the good news first.”

The blood test results show that there is no S404 RNA virus in Gwendolyn’s body. She’ll be fine, so don’t worry.”

Cedrick heaved a sigh of relief. “What about the bad news?”

Joshua’s voice grew solemn as he delivered the news. “According to various indicators and her previous abnormal actions, it appears that Gwendolyn is suffering from mania.”

Cedrick’s brows furrowed in confusion as he processed the information. “How is that possible? Mania is a mental illness. How could a blow to the back of her head cause her to develop mania?”

Joshua explained patiently. “There were hidden risks and signs of Gwendolyn’s mania long before. She was under a lot of psychological stress due to various factors, especially during her pregnancy. The injury to the back of her head this time simply triggered the illness completely, but it is not the root cause.”
