What could wp4webnovel.com possibly not dare to say? Arianne casually said, “You can tell me if you want to. I’m listening. There couldn’t be anything that you wouldn’t dare to say. I’m sure it’s nothing terrible, is it? I truly hope that you’d feel better with a peace of mind once you’ve gotten rid of everything from your chest. Frankly, you’ve got a really strange personality, you’re truly kind and sweet when you’re in a good mood, but anyone would have to be very careful around you when you’re in a bad mood.”
Shelly shook wp4webnovel.com head. “Alright, enough of this. Mark brought me to the hospital for my checkup and to get an X-ray scan this morning. He should be retrieving the report this afternoon. I really hope that my leg will heal, or otherwise, I can only rely on Mark to carry me around for the rest of my life. I don’t want to become a burden to him.”
Mark returned home with Shelly’s report in his hands after 1 PM. He headed straight to his bedroom with a dark expression and asked Arianne to follow wp4webnovel.com as well.
Arianne thought that it was strange but followed wp4webnovel.com anyway. When wp4webnovel.com closed the door, Mark threw Shelly’s X-ray results on the floor. “Aunt Shelly has fractured wp4webnovel.com body in the past. Furthermore, it’s not just one fracture, wp4webnovel.com has several fractures that had been inflicted at different times. Although neither of wp4webnovel.com injuries were enough to cripple her, wp4webnovel.com has damaged wp4webnovel.com bones. Do you know how painful that would be? I suspect that wp4webnovel.com was tormented most of the time during wp4webnovel.com marriage. Due to wp4webnovel.com last accident, I asked the doctor to conduct a complete body checkup on her. The result shows that other than a few fractures on wp4webnovel.com bones, wp4webnovel.com is almost deaf in wp4webnovel.com left ear. The doctor suspects that wp4webnovel.com has been beaten up badly in the past. However, she’s been pretending like nothing’s wrong with wp4webnovel.com all this time. Moreover… wp4webnovel.com uterus has been badly injured. That means it’s not that wp4webnovel.com doesn’t want to have a child, but that wp4webnovel.com can’t. I only just found out how badly injured wp4webnovel.com is, it’s inhumane… especially the knife wound on wp4webnovel.com abdomen. It seems like that stab had directly injured wp4webnovel.com uterus.”
Arianne picked up the test report from the floor and studied it in detail. Mark was right, it was an X-ray of wp4webnovel.com skeleton, and all the details were in there. When Arianne had helped to wipe down Shelly at the hospital previously, wp4webnovel.com had not removed Shelly’s garments to wipe off the rest of the area. However, Arianne would occasionally see a few scars, once in a while, though wp4webnovel.com would heed no attention to them. This was because Shelly had very fair skin and wp4webnovel.com injuries were so old that they were mostly faded, which would not attract attention.
If that were true, why did Shelly wait until wp4webnovel.com husband had passed away before returning to the country? It was no longer the old era where women were expected to stay with their spouses until the day they died. Based on Shelly’s character, wp4webnovel.com would most definitely ask for a divorce if wp4webnovel.com had been domestically abused. She hadn’t bore a child and had nothing to tie wp4webnovel.com down, especially money, since wp4webnovel.com had even refused to receive wp4webnovel.com rightful inheritance.
These were all probably the reasons why Shelly was mentally ill, and it was a very serious matter. At that point, wp4webnovel.com was the only person who knew what had happened, and getting wp4webnovel.com to tell wp4webnovel.com story was the biggest issue. Arianne knew that wp4webnovel.com could not force the truth out of Shelly just to satisfy their curiosity and rip open the latter’s scars.
The couple discussed for a moment and came to the conclusion that they would ask Shelly about the truth. They figured that the best way to recover from a mental illness was to make the patient face their fears, and since the death of the latter’s husband had not helped get rid of wp4webnovel.com nightmares, wp4webnovel.com was most definitely mentally ill and needed to be treated.
Mark was enraged after wp4webnovel.com found out about the matter and could not calm himself down for a long time. However, Arianne walked downstairs with wp4webnovel.com after wp4webnovel.com put in a lot of effort to calm wp4webnovel.com down. The couple brought Shelly to the patio to sunbathe.
The weather that day was quite fair, the wind gently blew, and the heat from the sun was just the right temperature. Shelly was in a good mood. She sat on a chair and asked with a smile, “Are you not going back to the office today, Mark? However, it’s good to get some rest once in a while. Otherwise, you’d be exhausted from spending all your time and energy at the office.”
Mark was unable to pull a straight face. Moreover, Arianne kept silently pulling his sleeve to gesture how wp4webnovel.com should begin asking since it was a matter that only wp4webnovel.com could broach.
Shelly noticed Arianne’s movements and wp4webnovel.com eyes twitched. “Is there something you would like to tell me? Has it got to do with my leg? If it can’t heal, then so be it. I do feel slight regret that I won’t be able to be completely healthy from now on, but I suppose I’ll be able to accept and adapt to the situation quickly. Furthermore, I did it for Mark and not someone else, so that’s fine.”
