Chapter 1053
Half an hour later, Yosef conducted a targeted examination on Sheena, along with a blood test to check for the possibility of the S404 transmitted from the bables to her
body.
While awaiting the results, he sympathetically glanced at Elliot’s swollen left cheek and sighed.
“Elliot, do you want some anti–inflammatory medication? I can get you an ice pack to reduce the swelling.”
Elliot licked his injured mouth and nodded, agreeing, “Sure, once we understand Sheena’s situation, I’ll take care of the injury properly.”
Silence enveloped the laboratory, and the atmosphere turned tense.
They waited anxiously for an hour, and the sky outside had turned completely dark.
Yosef returned to the ward with a solemn expression, holding the test results.
Elliot, who had been by Sheena’s side, immediately stood up.
“How’s the result?”
Clutching the test report tightly, Yosef replied, “Elliot, there’s both good news and bad news. Which one would you like to hear first?”
Elliot was exasperated.
Why did it feel like he was being asked to choose an answer on a test?
He patiently responded, “Let’s start with the good news.”
“The blood test results show that there are no remnants of the S404 in Sheena’s
body. There’s no imminent danger to her life, so you can rest assured,” Yosef said,
easing Elliot’s worries.
Relieved, Elliot asked, “And the bad news?”
Yosef’s tone turned grave. “Various indicators, combined with her previous abnormal
behavior, point to bipolar disorder.”
Elliot furrowed his brows deeply. “How is that possible? Bipolar disorder is a mental disorder. How could a blow to the head trigger it?”
Yosef patiently explained, “Sheena’s bipolar disorder had underlying risks and signs long before. She went through a lot during her pregnancy, and the stress caused psychological and mental pressure. This time, the injury to the back of the head was just a trigger, not the cause. You mentioned before that she bit you and drew blood over a minor issue. The doctor attributed it to excessive pregnancy hormones causing her to feel restless, which didn’t seem like a major problem at the time. But in reality, if mental issues aren’t properly addressed, they can lead to various risks and illnesses. This time, Sheena’s bipolar disorder just happened to flare up due to
the head injury.”
Elliot turned to look at Sheena lying unconscious on the bed, carefully recalling the
events leading up to this moment.
Sheena discovered her pregnancy in Laubabwe, a time when she was trapped with
Nathaniel over Clear.
Upon returning home, she faced challenges one after another–Albert’s death,
accusations of being a bastard child, and her family’s distrust.
During this period, she dealt with these issues despite her exhaustion.
Later, Albert passed away, and Sheila disappeared.
Her anxiety and negative emotions never ceased, and she always suppressed them.
Elliot held his head in sorrow, realizing his negligence in not noticing Sheena’s struggles earlier.
“It’s my fault. I should have been more attentive and helped Nana address her psychological issues sooner.”
“Nobody could have predicted this, Elliot. Don’t blame yourself.”
Yosef sighed repeatedly, jotting down notes on his pad.
“Based on your description, I suspect Sheena’s bipolar disorder is intermittent. It may be triggered by exhaustion or occurs mainly at night. We’ll need to observe her closely. As for whether to tell her the truth when she wakes up, that’s up to you.”
Chapter 1053
Elliot sat by the bedside, tightly holding Sheena’s hand, silent for a while before asking, “What if Nana has another episode in the future?”
“We can forcibly administer sedatives, but it can be damaging to the nerves and should be used sparingly. Alternatively, we wait for her to exhaust herself and fall asleep naturally, which doesn’t harm the nerves but leaves her tired the next day. However, it might not be easy to manage with babies in the house.”
Elliot pondered in silence as Yosef continued, “Incidents like today, where she’s knocked unconscious, must be avoided. Her head is already injured, and the nerves
there are the most sensitive. When Sheena wakes up, she might experience severe
headaches.”
“Alright,” Elliot agreed with a hint of remorse, gently kissing Sheena’s pale hand as he
held it.
