Thanks to his quick reflexes, Lucian was able to shield Roxanne behind him and grab Christina by the throat at the same time.
His long arms stopped Christina from getting any closer, so she could only claw helplessly at the air, flailing her limbs while cursing under her breath. With a gentle shove, Lucian sent her tumbling backward and falling to the floor.
“I hate you, Lucian! I hate you so much! How could you treat me like this, Lucian? Have you no heart? Have you no conscience?” she shrieked at the top of her voice.
Even Madilyn was a little shocked by Christina’s sudden hysterical outburst. She was not expecting her to lash out like that. “Have you lost your mind, Christina?” she shouted angrily.
“Hahaha! Yes, I have! I’m madly in love with you, Lucian! I love you so much that I would cut my heart out for you, but… I’m filthy now… Why would you be so cruel to me, Lucian? My family is ruined! You’re just his ex-wife, Roxanne! I’m his fiancée! How dare you steal him from me? I will never forgive you, not even in death!”
As Christina shrieked, her expression alternated between sadness, excitement, and anger, which showed just how unstable her mental state was.
She wasn’t even looking at Lucian and Roxanne. Instead, her eyes were actually fixated on the walls and ceiling around her as she writhed about in agony.
She then started pulling at her hair and cupped her hands over her cheeks as she thrashed about violently, only to hit her head on the concrete wall next to her a few seconds later. The loud noise sent shivers down Madilyn’s spine.
“What has gotten into her? Has she gone crazy?” Madilyn was clearly frightened by Christina’s actions. The look in Roxanne’s eyes turned gloomy as she said, “She’s unable to cope with the overwhelming shock, so her subconscious is creating illusions to help her escape from the pain. This may be a sign of hysteria.”
Christina continued slamming her head against the wall with an increasing amount of force until blood came spurting out of her head. Madilyn was so taken aback by the gruesome sight before her that she didn’t know what to do.
Roxanne did not expect things to take such a dramatic turn. “Madilyn, sedate her before she attempts anything crazier!”
What happens to Christina is none of my concern, so I really don’t feel like helping her However, this is my hospital, so I can’t just sit by and do nothing. If something bad happens, the whole hospital might get in trouble. Lucian could seemingly read Roxanne’s mind, for he walked up to the window and closed it.
After all, it would be bad for the hospital’s reputation if Christina jumped out the window as a result of her hysteria. Madilyn ran out of the office and returned shortly after with a syringe in hand. She then grabbed Christina’s arm and injected the deranged woman with sedatives.
About thirty seconds later, Christina’s eyes rolled back as she collapsed to the floor. “Call the police, Lucian. We’ll let them handle everything. She’s involved with Elektra’s case, so she’s not getting away this time,” Roxanne said calmly.
Lucian nodded and called the police on his phone. Ten minutes later, the police arrived and took Christina, who was still unconscious, to a specialized hospital for suspects. Peregrine came over later with some medicine.
“I’ll give this a try and see how it goes, if nothing goes wrong after half an hour, we can distribute this to all the doctors and nurses,” Roxanne said. It was not the first time she had used herself as a test subject for her medication.
Lucian frowned when he saw what she was about to do. He snatched the pills out of her hand and popped them into his mouth. “I should be the one to test it. You’re pregnant, remember?” he reminded her while caressing her tummy.
Peregrine froze in shock for a few seconds. before congratulating Lucian, “Congratulations, Mr. Farwell! I have a feeling you’ll be giving birth to twins this time! A boy and a girl!”
