The Psychotic Girl’s Revenge

Jaden shook his head, “That night, after you faked your death and escaped, the boss suddenly had memory disturbances and forgot about that part. He thought you really perished in the fire, and at that time, he was in unbearable pain.”

He would never forget that night when the boss knelt amidst the blazing flames, screaming in agony.Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.

He often wondered, if he and Rafael hadn’t held him back, would the boss have rushed into the fire?

Hearing this, Paige’s eyes widened in shock, her reddened eyes brimming with tears.

Memory disturbances, forgotten.

So, that night, when she was relieved that she had successfully escaped, he thought she was dead?

Then he…

As Jaden brought up the past, Dr. Clinton couldn’t help but sigh.

“And then? Was it that night?” Paige asked, her voice trembling slightly.

Jaden shook his head, “The memory disturbance was temporary. That night, after the boss returned to the villa, he calmed down. His routine was normal, and he followed Dr. Clinton’s advice to rest in bed, leaving the matters with the other tycoons to me.”

“…”

Paige looked at him in silence.

“We all thought the boss had recovered, but unexpectedly, late the next night, the boss…” Jaden’s voice faltered, growing hoarse, making it hard for him to continue, “He had an episode.”

“That’s impossible.”

Paige refused to believe it, “The AS schizophrenia gene needs a trigger to cause an episode, it can’t happen without reason. Did something happen that night that you overlooked? Was it Rachel? Or Jeremy? Did they come by?”

“I reviewed the surveillance footage. No one came by,” Jaden said.

Paige didn’t trust Jaden’s judgment, “Did you look carefully enough? Have you still not figured out the cause of his episode…”

“Miss.” Dr. Clinton, who had been sitting nearby, interrupted her.

Paige looked at him, and Dr. Clinton sighed, looking at her, “Miss, have you ever considered that intense longing in the dead of night…is itself a kind of trigger?”

Hearing this, Paige’s hand trembled violently, her eyes reddening further.

No…

Impossible.

Jaden had heard these words from Dr. Clinton before, so he continued, “That night, after dinner, the boss went upstairs to rest. I had other arrangements to take care of, so I didn’t stay at the villa. Olivia and the little dolphin had already left for the south to find you, as per the boss’s orders.”

Paige knew.

When she saw Olivia and the little dolphin appear in front of her, she knew Enrico was truly saying goodbye to her.

He had sent everything she loved to her.

Except himself, whom she hadn’t seen even once in the past three years.

As Jaden recalled the past, his breathing grew unsteady. He looked up at Enrico’s sleeping face, “No one knows what the boss was thinking that night. Maybe the villa was too quiet, so quiet it made him overthink.”

“…”

“I think the boss tried to resist, because before his episode, he took double the usual dose of fluoxetine, but in the end, he still…”

Jaden couldn’t continue, pressing his fist to his lips to suppress his emotions.

Paige sat there, listening in a daze, her long lashes trembling uncontrollably.

Taking double the fluoxetine.

He didn’t want to have an episode; he really wanted to be normal.

He wanted it so badly…

Paige closed her tear-filled eyes for a moment, and when she opened them again, she was calmer.

She slowly turned her face to look at the man resting on her shoulder, stiffly raising her hand to touch his silent face, her fingers trembling as they felt his warmth, “You will get better.”

The car traveled a distance before switching vehicles.

As they drove along the complex roads of The Capital, switching cars twice, Enrico, who was leaning on Paige’s shoulder, began to show signs of waking, his brows furrowing.

Paige unfolded the blanket in her hands and draped it over his legs.

“Miss,” Jaden said, prompted by Dr. Clinton’s persistent gaze, “the boss might need this.”

Paige looked up and saw Jaden awkwardly pulling out two sets of cuffs from his coat, her expression immediately turning cold, a chilling atmosphere spreading throughout the car.

“The boss has lost his self-awareness,” Jaden forced himself to explain.

She hadn’t seen Enrico in three years, and she didn’t know his current condition-he was no longer conscious, now just a bloodthirsty person.

“Jaden is right,” Dr. Clinton said from the side, “Three years ago, when Mr. Gustin suddenly had an episode, he injured many people. If Jaden hadn’t been prepared and had his subordinates wear bulletproof vests just in case, there might have been many casualties.”

“…”

Paige remained silent, not taking the cuffs.

“The boss has never laid a hand on you, so you may not realize how skilled he is. If you let him move freely, you might not be able to handle him,” Jaden advised, feeling the pressure. “Besides, this is for the boss’s own good.”

They couldn’t let Enrico go on a killing spree.

Enrico wasn’t conscious anymore, but did that mean those around him should lose their clarity as well?

Upon hearing this, Paige looked up at him indifferently, “I know what’s best for him.”

“You…”

Jaden was rendered helpless by Paige’s stubbornness and was about to persuade her again when the car began to slow down.

The security guard at the entrance of the community immediately stepped aside, and the gate opened smoothly.

This place… wasn’t it the community where he and Rafael had come to seek medical help?

Jaden thought he had seen wrong and turned his head to look at the large characters on the surrounding wall-sure enough, it was Rose Estate.

It really was here!

Jaden suddenly turned back, looking at the calm expression on Paige’s face, his skin tingling. He moved his lips, asking with some difficulty, “The heir of the Medicine Curse Sect is…”

“It’s me,” Paige finished his sentence.

“…”

Jaden’s mouth gaped open in shock, unable to close it for a long time.

It really was her.

No wonder she said she knew how to help Mr. Gustin.

What kind of brain did she have to master it in just half a year?

As the car entered the community, Jaden noticed that the villas inside looked exactly like Mr. Gustin’s Rose Estate, leaving him with mixed feelings.

Suddenly, as if realizing something, Jaden looked at Paige, “Miss, since you are the heir of the Medicine Curse Sect, why didn’t you contact me directly, or let me into the community? Why did you follow me to the villa?”

Wouldn’t it have been easier to contact him directly?

“…”

Paige looked up and glanced at him indifferently.

Jaden immediately understood, “You were worried I had some ulterior motive, so you hid Mr. Gustin away, didn’t you?”

Paige didn’t speak, but her eyes confirmed it.

“Am I really that untrustworthy?” Jaden’s face turned pale.

“Three years is a long time. Anything is possible.”

If he had turned corrupt for power, contacting him directly would have alerted him. She had to ensure she found Enrico first before discussing anything else.

“…”

Jaden had no words to refute.

Dr. Clinton, seeing the tension between them, awkwardly added, “Miss’s caution is also a good thing, yes, a good thing.”
