Chapter 272: Chapter 237 Xiao Yi Prayed to God

"Recently, due to the ravages of disaster, many people have been harboring quite a lot of negative emotions, bearing despair and sadness. It is quite normal for them to become mentally unstable, and it’s inevitable. It’s just... I never expected that such a mentally unstable person would secretly break into my home. It seems I need to seriously reinforce the defenses at home."

Soon after that, Carl returned.

With just one look, he immediately understood the situation at home.

Thus, he immediately called the police, who then took away the mentally unstable intruder who had almost harmed his family.

"Whew..." Carl let out a long breath, then turned to Xiao Yi, "Thank you, Xiao Yi. If you weren’t here, I can’t even imagine what might have happened to Tess. She’s just a child, with no power to resist... I might have almost lost her, it’s all thanks to you being here."

"I..."

Xiao Yi wanted to say something, but hesitated, then changed the subject:

"Carl, how about the medication?"

Having gone through what just happened, Xiao Yi realized he could no longer ignore the hallucinations.

The hallucinations already made him feel sick to his stomach.

So, Xiao Yi’s current thought was that it would be better to deal with it as soon as possible.

"...It’s still in preparation, it might take some more days," Carl said. "Besides, the medication can’t be administered to you just after obtaining it. If it’s not compatible or it causes some severe side effects, that would be bad. I still have to conduct analysis and tests, so, don’t rush, Xiao Yi... For the next few days, I suggest you just rest well at home."

"Rest... huh?"

"Yes, although I’m not sure exactly what happened back then... seeing your mental state, it doesn’t seem to be very good. You didn’t see another hallucination, did you?"

"..." Xiao Yi remained silent.

In fact, he was troubled because he hadn’t seen a hallucination.

Seeing that Xiao Yi wasn’t speaking, Carl didn’t ask further, continuing, "In any case, try not to go elsewhere and interact with people and events for now. That way, even if a hallucination appears, you can quickly distinguish it and prepare psychologically."

"That makes... sense," Xiao Yi sighed helplessly, seeming to see no better solution.

Before he could receive treatment for his hallucinations, he would stay here, to avoid endangering others because of the hallucinations.

"...Mr. Carl, Tess has fallen asleep. Do you... want to go check on her?"

At that moment, Letticia quietly stepped out of a room and reported to Carl.

The town is not too small, yet not too big either.

Additionally, with the townspeople being highly strung right now, even the slightest movement grabs their utmost attention.

Word of mouth about the intrusion of a mentally unstable person at Carl’s house spread across almost the entire town in an instant.

Letticia knew about this incident, so she rushed over immediately, hoping to lend a hand.

Thus, she was here.

"Mm," Carl nodded, looking at Letticia, "I also want to thank you, Letticia, for comforting Tess with all your heart, allowing her to sleep peacefully."

"No, it’s nothing," Letticia smiled.

Carl didn’t say much more and walked into Gladys’s room.

His daughter having encountered such an ordeal, he must have been very scared and worried. Seeing his daughter sleeping peacefully might allow him some peace.

Then, Letticia sat next to Xiao Yi, blinking her eyes, and asked him:

"Mr. Yi, are you okay? You look pale."

"..." Xiao Yi was not in the mood for small talk. He glanced at Letticia and said, "Your complexion isn’t much better, is it?"

At that moment, Letticia’s symptoms of fever hadn’t improved much.

Her cheeks were flushed, and her breathing was hurried and coarse.

Even in such a condition, Letticia still came over.

"You should go back and rest sooner than anyone," Xiao Yi suggested.

"Ah, thanks for your concern, but don’t worry too much," Letticia said with a smile. "Compared to this morning when I had no strength at all, I’m feeling much better now. I should be better by tomorrow, so don’t worry. Compared to me, it seems like you have something troubling you. My advice would be that talking about it might make you feel better."

"..." Xiao Yi didn’t think talking about his condition would change anything.

In fact, Xiao Yi still didn’t know when he had developed this condition, and he didn’t even know why he had come here.

Memory... it seemed to be missing, yet not really missing, like the hallucinations that made Xiao Yi unsure.

In this situation where he knew nothing, recognized no one, and felt as though he was being manipulated forward, along with those jumbled, indecipherable hallucinations, all these... sparked an indescribable mix of emotions in Xiao Yi.

Depression, annoyance, repression... and anger.

However, unfortunately, there wasn’t a hidden mastermind that Xiao Yi could lash out at in his anger here. This powerlessness made Xiao Yi particularly uncomfortable.

"Hmm..." Seeing that Xiao Yi wouldn’t speak, Letticia thought for a moment, then said to him, "At least I can tell that you’re in a bad mood now. I’ll give you a piece of advice, when you’re feeling down, pray to God."
