Vivian opened her mouth to take the medicine.

The housekeeper happily said, “I’ll leave it up to you, then, Mr. Johnson. Usually, she won’t take her medicine so obediently.”

“That’s because Vivian is very good.” Charles continued to feed her.

Vivian smiled amiably. “I’m doing it for candy and silk scarves.”

“I know.” Charles smiled deeply. “I will come to see you tomorrow. You should sleep well at night, all right?”

“Okay.” Vivian nodded. “I’m going to sleep now.”

Charles nodded in return as Vivian lay down and helped to tuck her in.

Vivian’s hands and feet were still tied with ropes. It was difficult for her to move.

However, she did not struggle this time, much to the housekeeper’s amazement.

Vivian closed her eyes and quickly fell asleep.

Because the medicine had a calming effect, it kicked in shortly after Vivian consumed it.

This drug had fewer side effects than sedatives.

Charles stood up and said, “When the day is warm tomorrow, give her a bath.”

The housekeeper nodded but sheepishly said, “We actually sponge her during the day.”

“I’m not complaining that you don’t take good care of her,” Charles said placidly. “She just likes bathing. I think you should let her have a soak in the tub. Sprinkle some flowers on and make it nice, then dress her up in something yellow.”

The housekeeper was surprised.

“Don’t treat her as a patient. Treat her as a normal person,” Charles urged. “The more you treat her as a patient, the more she feels sick. She must be allowed to establish herself as a normal person from the very beginning. This is what I came up with when I asked a psychiatrist.”

“Okay.” The housekeeper dared not disobey.

After all, they were all trying to make Vivian return to normal.

Moreover, since Kathleen and Charles’ intervention, Vivian’s condition had improved quite a bit.

These housekeepers started to feel more at ease.

Charles nodded and turned away.

As he went downstairs, Caleb had just entered the door.

“You’re leaving?” Caleb looked at Charles unfathomably.

Charles was indifferent. “Did Vivian mention to you that Finn had asked someone to take pictures of the sordid affair?”

Caleb shook his head. “What pictures?”

“When they tormented her, they took pictures,” replied Charles.

“What?” Caleb was angry. “This came out of her own mouth?”

Charles nodded solemnly.

“D*mn it!” Caleb gritted his teeth. “I swear I will not let this man go!”

There was a sharp glint in Charles’ eyes. “I’d advise you not to be impulsive. Let me investigate this with caution.”

“How else do you want to investigate it?” Caleb asked coldly.

Nonchalantly, Charles replied, ”Caleb, I know you care about Vivian very much because she is your sister, after all. But if you want to seek revenge against Finn, you must first have evidence.”

“Do you think my sister is lying?” Caleb was truly displeased.

“I don’t think so. But given how fragmented her memories are, it’s also possible that the person who did take the pictures was not actually Finn.” Charles’ eyes were dark. “If it isn’t him, then we’re going to spook him for no good reason. In fact, Vivian is my biggest concern. If they leak the pictures, then she will be finished. What we need to focus on now is rehabilitation, not revenge.”

Caleb did not utter a word.

However, Charles knew that Caleb was not convinced.

“Only when Vivian returns to normal can we understand the ins and outs of what happened at that time. We shouldn’t act too rashly,” Charles said. “I know Finn better than you, and I will find a way to ask him.”

“How long will it take?” Caleb asked gloomily.

Charles narrowed his eyes. “I hope you can be patient. You are eager to take revenge, and so am I. But this must be handled slowly. We shouldn’t be hasty.”

Caleb was silent once again.

Charles’ heart sank. He didn’t want to say anything more and walked away.

Caleb pursed his lips, and there was a flash of coldness in his eyes.

There are pictures? I had no idea! I guess roping in Charles and Kathleen was the right thing to do after all. Vivian has improved drastically now. Kathleen is truly a lucky star.

The next day, Kathleen finally managed to take a break after a busy day at work.

Valerie said to her excitedly, “Kate! I have news! I received a call from Mr. Johnson saying that Old Mrs. Yoeger has awakened!”

“Really?” Kathleen was very happy.

She called Charles on her phone.

“Charles, I heard that Old Mrs. Yoeger has woken up. Is this true?” Kathleen asked excitedly.

“Yeah.” Charles was expressionless. “She did wake up.”

“Then I’ll go to the hospital after work!” Kathleen smiled slightly.

“Okay.” Charles paused. “But you need to be mentally prepared.”

“What’s wrong?” Kathleen’s forehead creased.

“Old Mrs. Yoeger’s situation is a bit complicated,” Charles said quietly. “She really seems to have Alzheimer’s disease.”

So it is true? No wonder Zachary and Vanessa had the audacity to do this!

Kathleen reckoned that with Frances being so experienced, it should be hard to trick her at this age.

Yet, it turned out that she had Alzheimer’s disease.

“I see.” Kathleen’s voice was dull. “I’ll go after filming.”

“All right.” Charles hung up the phone.

Kathleen put down the phone and sighed deeply.

Seeing that her expression seemed rather severe, Valerie asked with concern, “Did something happen, Kate?”

“It’s nothing.” Kathleen shook her head. “I’m fine. Just give me some water.”

Valerie handed her the water.

Kathleen took a sip and went back to filming with a heavy heart.

Seeing that the situation was not quite right, Valerie secretly sent a message to Samuel.

At seven o’clock in the evening, Kathleen finished work.

She didn’t even take off her makeup. She just changed into a set of clothes and went to the hospital.

When she arrived at the hospital, she saw Samuel.

He was standing by the car as if he was waiting for her.

She walked over and asked, “Why are you—”

“A subordinate told me that Old Mrs. Yoeger is awake.” Samuel’s voice was hoarse. “I’ve also understood the situation.”

Kathleen pursed her lips.

“Let’s go, then,” Samuel said.

Kathleen nodded and followed him into the elevator.

Soon, they arrived at Frances’ ward.

Samuel’s subordinates had stopped Vanessa from entering.

After a glance at the scene, Kathleen noticed one other person.

Nicolette Yoeger was there.

She was sitting in a wheelchair and watching everyone quietly. This is from NôvelDrama.Org.

She was also the first to discover Samuel and Kathleen.

“Aunt Vanessa?” murmured Nicolette. “They’re here.”

Vanessa turned around and looked at the two of them angrily. “Samuel, why are your people stopping me from seeing my mother?”

“Because you are not worthy,” Samuel replied monotonously.

“Hah, how ridiculous! I’m her daughter! I’m not worthy, but you guys are?”

“Are you worthy?” Kathleen asked.

Vanessa glared at Kathleen.

“Why did Old Mrs. Yoeger become like this? Don’t you know?” Kathleen’s eyes were devoid of emotions.

Guilt flashed in Vanessa’s eyes. “How ridiculous! People get sick when they’re old! This disease is a common disease among the elderly! What does it have to do with me?”
