She discovered her pregnancy while in Eurfrica.
During that time, she was dealing with Kyson to obtain the super virus serum.
Upon her return home, Atticus had a severe accident, falling down the stairs and getting badly injured.
Her half-sister blamed her, and none of her brothers trusted her.
They even considered her an illegitimate daughter.
At that time, even though she was worn out, she had to handle all these matters by herself.
Later, Atticus passed away, and Valerie disappeared.
Lucinda had been enveloped by anxiety, but she constantly held back her negative feelings.
Nathan massaged his temples, his voice filled with regret.
âThis is my fault.
I should have noticed and helped with her psychological issues sooner.
â
âWho could have predicted something like this? Donât hold yourself responsible.
â Aldric sighed and swiftly wrote something on the record sheet with his pen.
He continued, âBased on what youâve told me, it seems her manic depression is occasional.
It could be exhaustion or excessive mental stress that triggered this episode.
You need to keep an eye on her when you get back.
Also, she might not recall anything that happened when she woke up.
Whether or not to share the truth with her is your decision.
â
Sitting beside the bed, Nathan held Lucindaâs hand firmly.
After a long silence, he asked, âWhat should I do if she has another episode?â
âShe can receive a tranquilizer injection, but it could harm her nerves.
If sheâs given it too frequently, it might affect her subsequent treatment.
Alternatively, you can allow her to vent her frustration.
It wonât harm her nerves, but she might feel fatigued the next day.
And⦠Youâve got two little ones at home.
I donât believe this is a suitable choice.
â
Nathan pondered for a moment and remained silent.
Aldric added, âYou canât sedate her again like you did today.
The back of her head has already been injured, and when she wakes up, she might experience a headache.
â
âUnderstood.
â Nathan experienced a twinge of guilt and nodded firmly in agreement.
He gently took hold of the back of Lucindaâs hand and ki*sed it, a gesture of apology.
Pausing for a moment, he ventured, âCan her manic depression be cured?â
Aldric responded, âIt can be treated.
Itâs a mental illness, challenging to cure but not impossible.
Iâll prescribe medication suited to her physical condition.
With some luck, she could recover in about six months.
â
Nathan felt a wave of relief, knowing Lucinda could get better.
âAlright.
Adjust the treatment to her condition as soon as you can.
Iâll bring her here secretly the next time she has an episode.
â
Aldric inquired, âSecretly? So you wonât be informing her and plan to treat her disease secretly?â
Nathan gazed downward and sighed, âLucinda possesses a strong sense of self-esteem.
If she finds out she has manic depression and could pose a risk to others, it would devastate her.
I know her inside out.
She might go to great lengths for the people she cares about.
Try your best to keep it from her.
As for other issues, weâll deal with them as they come.
â
In that situation, Aldric had no further words.
He just prescribed some medication to help Lucinda relax and boost her resistance.
