Chapter 569 Mental Trauma
As Kisa’s injured ankle had yet recovered, she was yanked out of her balance and plunged to the ground.
Jensen hurriedly held her up and looked at Madalyn. “She has done nothing wrong.”
“She has done nothing wrong?” Madalyn sneered, “She is the one who did this to Gilbert, and you are telling me she has done nothing wrong?”
Jensen and Kisa looked at each other, neither of them understood what Madalyn was talking about. Adrien quietly watched on with questions on his mind. He then asked Madalyn, “What is going on here, Mrs. Kooper Sr.?”
Madalyn wiped her tears away in anguish. “Gilbert was in the car when his parents met with an accident. His mother saved him with her life. He was covered in blood, completely terrified. He only slowly got better after countless visits to a psychiatrist. But no one can mention his parents in front of him. Otherwise, he will suffer a relapse.”
“I didn’t know that,” Adrien said with a sad face. “Didn’t you ask the doctor what was going On?”
Madalyn shook her head. “It is a mental trauma. The doctor said it was incurable. It is all up to himself.”
“I’m sorry. I didn’t know I couldn’t talk about his parents in front of him.”
“It is not your fault. It is that woman’s fault.” Madalyn glared at Kisa once again, the bitterness on her face frightening.
She didn’t know what she had done to bring Gilbert to such a state. Back then, when that car accident happened, she was not yet born. So she wondered why Madalyn blamed this on her.
“It is not good! Mr. Kooper has passed out.”
Madalyn’s face changed, and she hastily tugged at Adrien’s hand. “Call a doctor! Quickly, call a doctor for my grandson.”
Adrien looked at the frail hand grabbing at his arm, and her eyes flashed with a hint of hatred and sadness, as well as a touch of indefinable affection.
At last, Jensen and Davian carried Gilbert into his room.
Kisa had an indescribable feeling when she looked at Gilbert’s pale face. She hated Gilbert but felt sad at seeing his condition. Her heart ached, especially after learning about the car accident. ‘Gilbert should be the same age as Andrew and Ada at the time of the accident. He must have been so helpless and terrified that it traumatized him.‘ She quietly leaned against the wall in the hallway, downhearted.
Not long after, Jensen came out of Gilbert’s room. He glanced at her and then walked
slowly over to her. With his hands digging into his pants pockets, he leaned against the wall, as was she. Neither of them spoke. After a while, Jensen finally opened his mouth. ” Don’t worry. Gilbert just has a relapse. He will be fine after a good night’s sleep.”
“The trauma is with him for the rest of his life. I pity him. He must be resisting the memories of the car accident scene and his parents.”
Jensen pursed his lips for a while. He then took out a cigarette and lit it. “I met his parents. They were nice people. Gilbert is more like his father.”
Kisa suddenly remembered the tiny notebook in which her mother kept track of things. Her mother had liked Gilbert’s father at first and thought his father must be really quite nice.
Kisa and Jensen stayed quietly in the hallway for a long time. Jensen was worried about her foot injury and brought her back to her room.
Many people lost sleep on the first night. In Adrien’s room, Jensen sat on the couch, smoking, his expression indifferent. Adrien glanced at him, and then his eyes narrowed.
