Free Web NovelChapter 247: Her Mental State Wasn’t Normal
Wendy was beside Michael and whispered, "Why don’t you go back and check it out first?"
"Aren’t you angry?" Michael drove the car and couldn’t easily look at Wendy’s expression, so he had to ask her.
"How can I not be angry? But that’s your mother, after all. And the situation does seem serious. We can’t really ignore it, can we?" Wendy said, "But I won’t go back with you. Just go and see for yourself."
"Thank you, Wendy," said Michael. "I’ll take you back, and then make a trip to the main house."
"That’s okay. Just stop the car on the side of the road and I’ll take a taxi back by myself."
Michael did not drop Wendy off on the road but sent her back. Then, he went to the main house.
When Michael’s grandmother saw that Michael was back, she immediately leaned on her crutches and told him the situation, "As soon as your father came back this afternoon, your mother went to the kitchen and got the kitchen knife.
"In the past, she was just making a show and a fuss without any intention of hurting anyone. But today, she directly cut your father’s arm with a knife. Your father has been sent to the hospital, but the injury is not serious and there is no major injury. Your mother is now in her bedroom. Go check on her."
Michael nodded and went upstairs.
The door to Winnie’s bedroom was closed, and Michael knocked on it, but there was no movement.
He reached out and pushed the door, and it was unlocked, so he pushed it open.
The floor was full of smashed things, and Michael looked around the room to see that almost everything that could be smashed inside was smashed.
When Winnie heard that someone had come in, she got on the bed, picked up a pillow and threw it at him as she said, "Get out, get out! All of you!"
"It’s me." Michael approached Winnie with a frown on his face.
At this moment, Winnie’s hair was disheveled, and she was nestled in the corner of the bed.
Suddenly, Winnie burst out laughing. She got up from the bed and grabbed Michael’s hand while laughing like crazy and said, "Michael, I’m telling you, I just stabbed your dad. He’s bleeding a lot. He’s definitely dying, dying, haha."
"What’s wrong with you?" Michael felt something was wrong with Winnie’s behavior.
"He deserved it! He took that b*tch Lily to the party again and blatantly said Lily was his girlfriend! He’s already so old but he’s so shameless!"
"Mom?" Michael grabbed Winnie’s hand and looked at her with a surveying gaze.
"Michael, you’re finally back." Winnie suddenly showed a pitiful expression on her face as she said, "Can you not lock me up at home? I want to go out for a walk. Lily even made fun of me by saying that I was imprisoned at home by my own son. It’s so humiliating."
Winnie was indeed out of sorts. Her mental state wasn’t like that of a normal person at all.
"Okay, I won’t keep you at home. You can go out and walk if you want, okay?"
Michael’s tone was gentle, like he was coaxing a child.
"Okay, okay." Winnie immediately nodded her head.
After Michael and Winnie talked for a while, he left the bedroom.
Michael’s grandmother was waiting for him outside and said, "How’s it going? Winnie doesn’t usually let us in her room. She didn’t do anything to you when you went in, did she?"
"No." Michael frowned and asked his grandmother, "Grandmother, why do I feel like she’s in a trance? When did she start doing that?"
"I don’t know exactly when, but I often hear her scolding Anthony and Lily by saying that Lily often calls her to show off."
Michael’s grandmother said, "I think your mother slashed your father with a knife because Lily was bragging about it."
Michael reached up and rubbed his brows as he said, "I’ll find a psychiatrist to check on my mom. It’s not acceptable for her to go on like this."
Michael asked Mr. York to arrange for a psychiatrist to come to the main house, and then he himself went to the hospital.
Although Grandmother said there was no serious injury, after all, Anthony was slashed by Winnie, so Michael should go to see the situation.
What Michael didn’t expect was to hear voices from the ward when he got to the door.
"Winnie is really a lunatic. She refuses to get a divorce, and now she slashes you with a knife. Anthony, you can’t indulge her anymore.
"If this goes on, there’s no telling when she will kill you. Look how badly you’ve been hurt. Fortunately, she only slashed your arm this time. If anything happens to you, what will Christian and I do?
"I told you not to go back, but you insisted on going back to see your mother.
"Now you almost lost your life."
Lily kept babbling on and on.
Christian said, "Mom, stop talking! Grandma is Dad’s own mother, so what’s wrong with going back to see her? Today is an exception."
"What exception? Winnie is a crazy person! How can a normal person slash her husband with a knife? I told you to go straight to the court and file for divorce, but you didn’t." Lily was exasperated and said loudly, "Do you think I usually urge you to divorce just because I want a proper title? I was just guarding against any accidents. Let me tell you, women know women best, and that crazy woman Winnie might do something else in the future."
"All right, all you can do is talk about it." freeweɓnovel.cøm
Anthony closed his eyes and felt a headache from all the noise.
"Mr. Lucas... " The doctor came to the room and saw Michael standing in the doorway with a very unpleasant look on his face, and said, "You’ve come to see your father, haven’t you?"
The doctor’s words were heard by Anthony from inside the room, and he stood up abruptly.
The hanging needle on the back of his hand was ripped off because he moved too drastically, and blood was flowing down his fingers drop by drop.
When he got to the door, Anthony looked at Michael with some guilt in his eyes and smiled as he said, "Michael, you’ve come to see me? I thought you would not acknowledge me as a father. I... "
Michael gaze swept the ward, then looked at Christian and Lily and said with an extremely sarcastic smile on his face, "Your son is standing over there."
With his fingers tightening one by one, Michael turned around and left without hesitation.
"Michael, Michael... "
No matter how much Anthony called, Michael did not turn around for a moment.
He did not expect to see the scene of a family of three after coming to the hospital.
Michael was worried that Winnie had hurt Anthony badly. Now it seemed like it was a shame that he wasn’t slashed to death.
When he got home, Michael was sullen and didn’t say a word. freёwebnovel.com
Wendy had already finished washing up and was about to go to bed when she saw Michael and said, "You’re home, how’s the situation with your mom?"
Michael shook his head and didn’t say anything.
Wendy realized something was wrong and approached Michael as she said with concern, "What’s wrong? Is it serious or something?"
Michael turned around and punched the wall so hard that the back of his hand bled.
"Ahh! " Wendy shrieked in shock, then turned and immediately searched for the medical kit.
Leah and Jake were disturbed by the noise in the living room and ran out of their room.
"Mummy, daddy, what’s wrong?" Jake asked.
Wendy glanced at Michael, reached out and pushed them back into the room as she said, "Nothing, just go back to bed. Tomorrow is the festival, so if you don’t get some rest, you won’t have any energy tomorrow."
