His Devious Rule

Chapter 254 Drowned In Misery

Alvin understood that Anya couldn't depend on him or anybody. Then she could have complained to him, asked him to remove everything.

'Why did she have the anxiety attack for it?'

Although Alvin hated to talk about him and Anya with a doctor, he voiced his opinion, "She could have just asked me." She had that independence.

Doctor Bose smiled as she checked the time on the wall clock. "We just spoke about her current state. The cause of it goes way back to the days she was struggling with a small baby, shifting houses, and managing the job.

She lost the sense of security in herself because she depended on you to get the villa."

Alvin's expression hardened, realizing the root cause of it was Gianna Sallow. Although he was attacking her through her family, he felt his blood boil in his nerves.

More than that, "How to help her out of this?" Now Anya doesn't have so much money to repay him. Was she going to avoid him? He didn't even want to think that.

Doctor Bose became thoughtful for his direct question. They weren't treating a physical wound to dress it up and send them home. There was no organ damage to operate.

She tried to keep it simple as possible knowing that Anya hadn't completely treated her PTSD. "Consider a knot as a problem or traumatic incident Anya had been through. She has many knots. We have to help her unknot it."

Alvin controlled his urge to flip the table. He wants solutions, not lectures, examples, and instances.

As if sensing Alvin's drastic change in the mood, Doctor Bose stopped explaining, "Mr. Matthews, Anya needs a few more counseling sessions." Because she was only able to listen to that day's incident. "With your support, she will be fine." She meant to say 'Have some patience.'

'Counseling sessions?' A session where they will talk about the days Anya suffered.

If not in-depth, he is aware of every incident she told him about. If those are considered a problem, he has to help her unknot. Therefore she needs to know the cause of the problem and let her deal with it or just vent it out.

He doesn't want Anya to avoid him. So he chose the houses' incidents. 'Gianna Sallow, you are first.'

He stood up and plainly said, "Alright." Before this doctor could remind her of everything, he will start to solve it. "I will take Little… Anya."

Doctor Bose: "…"

Rather than Anya, she found something wrong with Alvin. She hurriedly stood up and went to the door saying, "Anya is sleeping."

Alvin ignored the doctor. He instructed Rob over the phone as he grabbed Anya's jacket from a chair. "Get the car to the door." He hung up the call.

He approached Anya who was asleep on the recliner. Covering her with her jacket, he scooped her into his arms.

Doctor Bose: "…"

Although he seemed a bit abnormal, she found him careful and attentive to Anya. She gave him the file and also helped him by opening the door.

Before the door could close, Benson appeared, "Doctor Bose." He flashed an amiable smile, ready to collect the details as a family doctor of Alvin Matthews.

Anya woke up to the noise near the emergency department of the hospital but was coaxed to sleep, "Sleep, I will wake you up later."

"Zane…" She had told Krystle they would get late to pick up Zane.

Rob took the file from Alvin's hand, Alvin got in the car with her in his arms, "Loudmouth picked him. They are on the way to Oasis."

Anya hummed as she snuggled into his arms and closed her eyes. Alvin decided to tell them about Gianna and Gabriel's actions the next day so that she could rest for the day.

Evening, at the Matthews mansion,

Gianna clenched her teeth as she got out of the car and went inside under the eyes of two bodyguards named prisoners.

Casper turned out to be a true Hitler. His dominance continued from the time she stepped into the Mathews mansion on Saturday.

Sunday, she was locked up in the mansion all day. It was the bodyguards who told her when to eat and where not to go. They had even confiscated her mobile.

She wasn't allowed to lock the door of any room except the bathroom where she wasn't allowed to take any electronic device.

They were deciding which calls on her mobile had to be answered and ignored. They didn't even allow her to speak with anybody privately.

She was being monitored 24/7. Her words at her husband weren't acknowledged, much less her threats. The new maids served her but ignored her other words as if she didn't exist.

Suddenly a person appeared in her mind. She asked for her mobile, "I need to call my son."

The two bodyguards looked at each other and handed her the mobile. The two followed her when Gianna dialed Liam's number.

"Liam…"

"Mom, it's the middle of the night here," Liam complained groggily as he seemed to walk.

Drowned in her misery, she failed to give attention to her father. "Your father has imprisoned me in the home. He has kept people around me all the time, Liam. Come back and talk sense to your father."

Liam yawned on the other end. He wasn't surprised or shocked to hear Gianna. He sleepily asked, "Mom, I heard that you were in a prison overnight. What did you do?"

What if he wasn't in the country? He was still the president of the company. Even if he doesn't want to, the information finds its way to him.

Gianna: "…"

She had forgotten Liam wasn't on her side but Alvin. Yet she tried to lie to her son as Alvin wouldn't tittle-tattle to Liam, "I just went to meet the Owen family to show our support for Alvin and Anya."

There was a pause in the line. Then Liam hissed, [Who are you lying to?] By her lie, he understood his mother did something or planned something against Alvin and Anya.

'Smash,'

Gianna broke her mobile in rage, breathing heavily.
