Chapter 992: Chapter 984: Seeking the Truth 1

At present, it seems very clear.

The surveillance videos from both sides have proven that it was Tiana Thorne who injured Julian Ford.

Maxim Ford’s brows were furrowed tightly, and he remained silent.

Aiden Shaw had been brothers with him for over twenty years, already having a unique understanding. By looking at his expression, he knew they had figured it out.

He lowered his eyes and said nothing.

It was at this moment that Tiana Thorne opened the door and came downstairs.

Seeing Aiden Shaw and Maxim Ford, she felt an inexplicable sense of oppression in her heart.

"I’m ready."

Aiden Shaw walked over to her, pulled her into his arms, and with a rich tone at the end of his voice that added a hint of reassurance, said, "Let’s go to the hospital, it’s okay."

It’s okay...

Is it really okay?

Tiana Thorne looked up at him, blinked, but couldn’t remember anything.

She had slept very peacefully that night, never expecting to sleepwalk out and return covered in blood.

They didn’t mention it, and she didn’t ask much either.

Looking at her father on the side, she softly reassured, "Dad, I’m going to the hospital for a bit. I’m fine. Don’t worry, go to bed early."

"Okay."

Although they said she had only killed a sheep, this still worried Sean Thorne.

Tiana’s somnambulism was too severe; after going out, she became so violent. If not stopped, it’s feared that in the future she won’t be aiming at just a sheep.

"Go ahead."

After speaking, he looked at Maxim Ford and Aiden Shaw, with a hint of gratitude in his eyes, "I’ll leave Tiana to you both, please take good care of her."

"Uncle, it’s no trouble at all."

Then, the three of them left together.

Georgia Thorne watched their backs, furrowing her brows slightly, taking a deep breath, and murmured softly, "Dad, is Tiana really suffering from somnambulism? Could it be..."

Listening to her speak halfway and then stop, he looked at her side with displeasure, "Could it be what?"

"It’s nothing, I hope I’m overthinking it."

"Hmm."

However, she had to check if Tiana really injured only a sheep.

How could there be so much blood?

Moreover, Aiden Shaw and Maxim Ford came one after the other. The matter might not be as simple as they said.

...

The hospital.

Tiana Thorne was in the psychiatric clinic, undergoing diagnosis and treatment.

"Do you have no memory at all of what happened before?"

Tiana Thorne nodded, "Yes."

"When is your last memory?"

Tiana Thorne glanced at Aiden Shaw beside her, "Turning off the phone."

After sending him a "good night," she went to sleep.

The doctor asked again, "Do you feel any soreness or weakness in your body now?"

Tiana Thorne shook her head again, "On the contrary, I feel very energized, like before, I slept soundly and feel great."

Upon hearing this, the doctor checked her hand, pinching her palm, "Does it hurt?"

"No."

Upon hearing this, the doctor recorded all her responses in the treatment notebook and said, "Let the nurse take you for an EEG and ECG. We’ll review the results later."

Tiana Thorne nodded, "Okay."

After she and the nurse left, Aiden Shaw spoke up, "How is her condition?"

The doctor looked at the content he recorded, his eyes deep, "She seems very healthy, not like a somnambulism patient. Are you sure she went out without consciousness tonight?"

Maxim Ford and Aiden Shaw exchanged a glance.

He furrowed his brow and nodded, "Yes, she did go out. It was captured by the home surveillance."

"Do you know what she did after going out?"

Maxim Ford pressed his lips lightly and then said, "She injured a sheep."

Hearing this, the doctor was momentarily stunned and raised a doubt, "Since she injured a sheep and it was during sleepwalking, she should feel extremely tired."

Aiden Shaw squinted slightly and asked in a low voice, "Are you suggesting she’s not a somnambulism patient?"

"I can’t confirm entirely. Somnambulism is a rare disorder, usually affecting those with sleep disturbances. Whether it’s real needs confirmation from the family."

Aiden Shaw, "Can it be treated?"

The doctor nodded, "You can start with some vitamin tablets, adjust sleeping times, and avoid walking out unconsciously again. At night, you should lock the door."

Maxim Ford was a little puzzled, pressing his lips, "Tiana’s sleep has always been very regular. I’ve never heard her complain about poor sleep."

The doctor added, "Poor mental state, including substantial psychological pressure, can also easily lead to illness."

"Hmm, understood."

An hour later, all of Tiana Thorne’s tests were completed, and there were no issues.

The doctor prescribed some vitamin tablets and instructed her to go home to rest and observe when the next sleepwalking incident would occur.

"Thank you, doctor."

After leaving the outpatient department, Tiana Thorne rubbed her head, looking back at Aiden Shaw and Maxim Ford walking alongside her.

The more she thought about it, the more off it felt.

If it was ordinary somnambulism, why the rush to check it out?

Moreover, there was so much blood on her body, which didn’t seem fake.

She stopped in the corridor, her gaze becoming very serious, "Elder brother, fourth brother, what exactly did I do after going out?"

Aiden Shaw said, "You might have gotten homesick in the middle of the night, drove back to the Fords, but went the wrong way and ended up at the neighbor’s house, where you injured a sheep with a fruit knife."

"Neighbor?"

Tiana Thorne recalled that the territory on that side was all Ford family property. She didn’t remember any neighbors.

Maxim Ford explained, "Not long ago, Mom rented out a villa ten kilometers away from us."

"I see."

She actually ended up with a fruit knife, returning home late at night. It sounded very dangerous. If someone were hurt, it would have resulted in an irrevocable tragedy.

Since it was confirmed to be somnambulism, there was nothing to avoid.

Given this illness, she must overcome it and aim for early recovery.

She smiled, a gentle one with a hint of reassurance, "Then I’ll have May Sloane sleep with me at night in the future. That way, she’ll know where I go if I get up at night."

"Hmm."

At this time, Maxim Ford’s phone WeChat notification sounded.

Several times in a row.

Tiana Thorne was a bit puzzled. Her big brother’s phone was a private line, known only to his assistant and family, so it shouldn’t disturb him at this time. Did something happen at home?

"Brother, your phone is ringing."

Maxim Ford felt a chill in his heart. He was afraid to take out his phone, fearing to see information he couldn’t accept.

Aiden Shaw said, "I’ll take you home."

Maxim Ford said again, "Let’s go back and rest. We can discuss anything tomorrow."

Tiana Thorne was very puzzled. Her fourth brother and elder brother seemed to naturally and tacitly skip this topic.

What exactly happened?

Since her big brother didn’t say, she wouldn’t ask either, just nodding, "Okay."

As she turned, she noticed he wasn’t following, looking back at him with the bright hallway lights reflecting in her eyes, "Brother, aren’t you coming home with us?"
