Chapter 1653: Chapter 1653

Let me go, Mr. Hill [by Shallow South] Chapter 1653 Catherine’s gentle face stiffened bit by bit.

After Suzie’s kidnapping, she had lost all affection she had for Sheryl and even hated her.

However, she was still surprised to hear that Rebecca had drugged Sheryl’s meals.

She only brought it up before because Shaun had reminded her, but she was not sure that Rebecca would do something like that to Sheryl.

Titus looked at her and said in a heavy voice, “The doctor said that they found traces of an illegal drug in her bloodstream, which is usually taken by patients after surgery or patients suffering from mental illness. If she takes it for a long time, she’ll suffer from insomnia, mental decline, mood swings, emotional restlessness, and even hallucinations. She’ll be addicted too. I’ve put her in the hospital for now.”

Catherine was stunned. She pursed her lips and rubbed Shaun’s head. “When Rebecca was by Shaun’s side as his caretaker before this, she had also used a similar drug, but he was suffering from mental illness back then. Later on, his condition grew more serious and he forgot many things. He even became paranoid and got hallucinations.”

“Then? Was he cured?” Titus asked eagerly.

“He was cured by a famous psychiatrist abroad. That person is Sarah Neeson. She’s indeed capable, but Sarah is his ex-girlfriend. She’s a scheming woman. Not only did she tamper with his memory, but she also left him with a huge after-effect that caused him to become like how he is now.” Catherine’s eyes became filled with hatred when she mentioned this.

Titus was silent for a while. He rubbed his eyebrows and said, “You have a lot of enemies.”

“What I mean is that Sarah is really famous in the field of psychology. But if someone recommends her to you, don’t look for her. I think she’s already working with Wesley.” Catherine reminded him.

“Okay. I know better psychologists anyway, ” Titus said faintly, “But Sheryl doesn’t have an illness.

She only became like this because of the drug. Unfortunately, Rebecca’s death has made it impossible for us to find out what drug she gave Sheryl. The doctor said that she can be treated sooner if they know what drug she ingested.”

Catherine hummed and said nothing in response. Her expression was indifferent. It put an end to the topic of Sheryl.

Titus was a little conflicted. Sheryl did feel guilty toward this child, but unfortunately, fate got in the way and Rebecca took advantage of it.

Now, her real daughter bore a grudge against her.

“Do you hate Sheryl? Actually, you haven’t been in contact with her much. Her real character isn’t anything like how she’s been behaving recently.

She was like you when she was young—smart, wise, and calm. That’s why I fell in love with her.

There were women who pursued me before, but she never hit or scolded them. She always had a way to make them back off.”

Titus said with a complicated expression, “ She’s not a vicious person. She was instigated by Rebecca and was convinced by her because the drug affected her brain.”

“Uncle Titus, is she really smart, wise, and calm? Sorry, but I don’t think so. She couldn’t even notice that the woman beside her had ulterior motives. If a stupid person fell into a trap, I wouldn’t say anything. But she was used by others like a tool.

She ruined a person’s life and she almost killed a child. I can’t forgive such a person.”

Catherine’s beautiful and delicate face was very cold. “She crossed the line when she kidnapped Suzie.”

Her words were very unpleasant to hear but Titus did not get angry. “How do you know that she didn’t realize Rebecca’s intentions? I believe that she did. However, she had just acknowledged Rebecca as her daughter, so she couldn’t try to correct Rebecca’s problems from the start. Many things have to be done step by step. Besides, she really did feel indebted to her daughter. Back then when she was rescued at sea, she had lost her memories but still tried to find her family. She searched all over the world for years but didn’t find any news.

“Then, Matthew appeared with Rebecca and said that they looked alike. A DNA test was also done, which said they were a perfect match. Rebecca talked about Sheryl’s history and knew about her past, family, and siblings. When we investigated, we found that she was indeed Sheryl Jones. After coming back to Australia, Sheryl’s brother and sister-in-law also appeared. Everyone said that Rebecca was her daughter.”
