A Call That Changed Her Entire Life

Chapter 1483 Treatment Plan

Louis turned around and looked at Taylor straight in the eyes. He then asked, "When can we know that he's sure of the murderer's identity?"

He wanted to know the truth as soon as possible. That way, he wouldn't feel so sorry for Scott's parents. He believed that putting the culprit behind bars would definitely speed up Scott's recovery.

"I'm afraid it's impossible to tell at this moment. Even if Scott wakes up, we can't ask him too many questions. He might relapse if we overstimulate him, and if that happens, we will be right back where we started," Taylor meticulously explained.

Everyone was hoping that the mysterious case involving Scott's family would soon be solved. However, Taylor knew she was responsible for her patient's well-being. She had gone through so much trouble just to pacify Scott. If something were to happen that might agitate him, she was afraid that he would inevitably have a mental breakdown.

They needed to be extremely cautious since it would be a disaster if Scott were to have a meltdown. In case that happened, there would be little hope in finding any clues, not to mention it might become literally impossible to confirm whether Bill was really the murderer or not.

With that in mind, it was clear that she had to take things slowly.

"We have to be patient with him in the coming days. I highly suggest you mentally prepare yourself for the work in front of us, Louis," Taylor uttered.

After taking a good look at Louis and making sure that he was no longer feeling anxious, Taylor continued, "If we want to get precise information from Scott, we have to wait until he is completely recovered."

Louis slightly nodded in agreement and kept his mouth closed.

"Having said that, you don't have to worry too much. Judging by the rate of how fast Scott is recovering, it shouldn't take him that long to get back to his normal self."

After Taylor finished speaking, the living room suddenly fell into silence. Louis could only stare at the tea table at that moment. He couldn't think of a single thing to say. On the other hand, Taylor was in a daze and deep in thought. As a matter of fact, she wanted to leave that very moment. After all, she was finished with all her work in the MK Manor for today.

However, while Taylor was having a hard time deciding whether she should bid Louis farewell before leaving, he gave her a peculiar look.

As a result, Taylor knew in her mind that it was time to go. She said, "Scott's treatment is over for today, so I'm leaving now." And with that, she stood up and placed her bag over her shoulder.

Louis had no time to think and he didn't know what to say. For that reason, he subconsciously held on to her hand. "Please stay just a little bit longer."

Taylor was a little startled by his actions. She looked down at her hand and said in a frigid manner, "Let go of me."

Maybe it was because of guilt, or maybe because he had just come back to his senses that Louis let go of his grasp on her. After that, he raised his hand to rub his earlobe, which felt a little warm from feeling embarrassed. "Well...you must be a little tired since you worked so hard today. How about you stay for an hour and have dinner with me? The food is almost ready,"

Louis said in a meek voice. In all his life, he had never seen anyone react that coldly to him, except for Taylor. That was why he felt a little peeved and uncomfortable at that moment.

There was no denying the fact that Louis really liked Taylor. Therefore, it was natural for him to want to spend more time with her. However, she had no desire to do the same. For that reason, she replied in a

standoffish manner, "That's unnecessary, Scott's treatment has been paid for. And since I've been properly compensated, that's good enough for me."

"Wait, didn't you say that we don't know how Scott will react when he wakes up? How about you stay here a little longer just in case that happens? We can just have a chat in the meantime so that you won't feel like you're working."

Although it was a completely shameless attempt to keep Taylor there, it was definitely a good way to persuade her. He knew that she deeply cared for her patients. It was uncharacteristic of Louis to do something like that, but he couldn't think of anything else that would have worked. He didn't mean to offend her. Instead, he just wanted to iron out their problems from before. All he wanted was to deepen his relationship with Taylor.

Unfortunately, it wasn't as simple as he thought. Upon hearing his request, Taylor just gave him an apathetic glance and replied, "I have no reason to stay since Scott definitely won't wake up today. If anything else happens to him, just give me a call."

After that, she turned around and walked out of the door. She didn't even give Louis a chance to respond.

The thoughts of their previous argument came rushing into her mind while she was walking away. If Louis hadn't persuaded her to stay, she would have just forgotten that she was still upset with him. At that moment, it became quite apparent that the two of them just weren't meant to be.

Taylor was obviously clueless to the fact that after she left, Louis could only laugh in response to his self-loathing. Material © of NôvelDrama.Org.

The image of Taylor leaving in such an unsympathetic manner shattered Louis's heart into pieces. Watching her back while she walked away felt like his whole life was slowly losing its meaning. He

honestly thought that he could somehow warm up to her, but Taylor's heart was, unfortunately, as cold as ice.

"I don't know when I will..." Louis softly uttered to himself.

"Sir, it's a little chilly outside. You should come in." The servant felt sorry for Louis. He couldn't help himself from speaking when he saw a broken man just standing at the door in a daze.

Louis took a final glance in the direction Taylor headed. Afterward, he turned around and walked inside with slumped shoulders.

Unfortunately, the unfinished words he had been about to say earlier could only be left to interpretation.

A few hours later, to everyone's surprise, Scott suddenly woke up that afternoon.

He was in a state of extreme madness. Everything inside his room that wasn't nailed into place was smashed to the ground. The floor was a complete mess and shattered pieces of glass were scattered everywhere. But after a few minutes, his fit of rage ended, and then he huddled himself in a corner of the room. His hands covered his head while his face showed a ferocious expression.

Thick curtains prevented the light from coming through the windows. It was almost completely dark and a pungent smell filled the air inside.

When Louis pushed the door open to check the noises he heard, something indescribable flew by his head. With his reflexes, he was luckily able to dodge just in time. He looked around to see what it was, but suddenly, a heavy pounding sound started.

If he had been hit by whatever it was, there was no doubt that he would have needed to go to a hospital for treatment.

Without warning, Scott started screaming with all his might, "Ahhhhhh!"

"Hey, calm down. It's just me." Louis did his best to comfort Scott. Afterward, he took a deep breath and carefully approached him. He continued, "Don't be afraid, Scott. I'm not here to hurt you. Look at my face. It's me, Louis."

It was hard for Louis to see Scott this way. The man who had once always been optimistic in life was nowhere to be found. However, Louis understood why he was acting this violently and didn't hold it against him.

After Scott heard a familiar voice, his rage-filled eyes seemed to settle down. He slowly looked up and met Louis's eyes.

But just as Louis was about to breathe a sigh of relief, Scott became even more upset. The expression on his face became terrifying. It was almost like something from a horror film. Suddenly, Scott grabbed anything his eyes laid upon and started to throw everything at Louis.

Bang! Bang! Bang! The sound of things hitting Louis and the wall behind him was heard throughout the manor.

It was true that Louis had rushed in without thinking, but he couldn't bear to see Scott like this. He didn't know what to do, but he knew he had to do something. He dragged Scott out of the corner and embraced him. While doing so, Louis tried to comfort him. "Please calm down. There's no one here to hurt you. Come on, try standing up."

Scott violently struggled to free himself from Louis's grip, but he couldn't do so.

The extended period of mental torture he had to go through weakened him physically. Compared with a normal man, he had the strength of a child even though he had seemed barbaric just a few moments earlier.

"Did you have a nightmare?" Louis took him in front of the window and then opened the curtains. The moment the sunlight touched Scott's skin, he stopped being so erratic and gloomy. "Your dreams are the opposite of reality. Believe me, nobody will hurt you anymore."

Louis didn't know if Scott was listening to him or not. But at that moment, Scott appeared calm, but his eyes were still lifeless.

Seeing Scott this way broke Louis's heart. That moment, he swore to himself to make the people who had made Scott this way pay the price!

When Louis felt comfortable enough to leave Scott alone, he went outside the room. He took out his phone and called Taylor. He anxiously waited for her to answer, but the line kept getting disconnected. In this crucial time, he only felt helpless.

This woman was up to her usual antics. She was hiding and doing her best to avoid him as if he was the bringer of plague.

But the more Taylor pulled away from him, the more eager he was to see her. He would give up almost anything in the world just to finally be with her.

Louis let out a deep sigh and then looked back at the closed door. The anger he felt at that time could be easily seen in his eyes.

It was only a matter of time before he could exact revenge. His men had already found some clues about Scott's case. He knew he was only inches away from finding out the truth!
