Karol had locked herself in the room. Danna, with the authority and responsibility of a family elder, unlocked the door, and immediately, they were hit by the pungent smell of blood.

Lilah, sensitive to smells due to her pregnancy, was overwhelmed by the odor, nearly causing her to retch.

Karol had slit her wrists and lay on the sofa, her face as pale as paper. Blood had pooled around her wrist, painting a grim picture.

Danna was so frightened she burst into tears and rushed over, "Karol, oh Karol... what were you thinking, my dear!"

The ambulance arrived swiftly, and the hospital staff worked tirelessly to pull Karol back from the brink of death.

The next morning, she woke up.

Seeing Danna beside her, Karol's eyes showed a trace of resignation.

"Karol, you're finally awake. How are you feeling? Do you want to eat something? Child, you nearly broke your grandmother's heart." Danna was inconsolable, her entire being enveloped in a melancholic aura, as if the weight of the world had aged her a decade overnight.

Karol, however, remained unresponsive, staring blankly at the ceiling, her heart heavy with despair.

"Danna, you should get a psychologist to help her. This is a mental illness; we can save her body, but not her mind...

"Danna, I can only heal the body. As for Miss Morris's mental troubles, only you might know the root cause, " Miranda sighed, feeling somewhat helpless.

Danna was momentarily stunned, then suddenly burst into laughter.

"What a tragedy, what a tragedy... It's all my fault. I spoiled her too much, and now she's ruined. It's all my doing... If only I had made her face reality sooner, not let her be so arrogant and proud, she wouldn't have ended up like this...

She was consumed by profound regret, having helplessly watched Karol spiral to this point, knowing she was the one to blame.

"There is another way." At that moment, a familiar voice came from outside the door.

Lilah turned to see Kaden standing there.

How did he get here?

Since Absolon had reprimanded him and demanded he return Marlene's shares, he seemed to have vanished.

"Grandmother, there is another method, " Kaden said, stepping up to the bedside." If she forgets everything from the past, she won't be like this."

Danna was startled, her brows furrowing, "But, but...

The suggestion was theoretically possible.

"Please, I need your help, " Kaden said, turning to Lilah and dropping to one knee." I know Miss Qiao is skilled in hypnosis, and through it, one can forget the past. If Miss Qiao agrees to help us, I'll do whatever it takes."

Lilah raised an eyebrow, instinctively looking toward Gerard.

Their eyes met, and they both saw the surprise mirrored in each other's gaze.
