Chapter 420 An Illusion Of Happiness (2/2)

old Emily's face was, Jacob turned a blind eye at what she was so obviously on about and treated her gently.

He did this because it was the only way he could maintain the illusion that they were still a happy family of three. He trapped himself in this made-up life and was ready to fool himself if it meant Emily would not leave him.

Beryl stayed at the Tyrone Mansion for two days. On the third day, Professor Horry, who was the assigned pediatric psychologist for Beryl, went to their house and tried to take her away.

Emily held Beryl in her arms with a frosty expression. ”I'm not letting her go anymore,” she refused firmly, ”Please, don't take her away anymore.”

Horry gave her a look of pity and embarrassment and advised, ”We have achieved outstanding results in Beryl's treatment. Mrs. Gu, I know how you feel as a mother, but it's not sensible to interrupt the course we had taken for your daughter's treatment.”

”Why do you all want to separate me from my child so much? I can't accept such a merciless treatment!” Emily exclaimed. She was enraged as she remembered all the lonely days she spent without her child. She pulled her girl close and kept a sharp expression without looking at Horry like a female cat protecting her kitten.

The psychologist turned to Jacob for help, but felt helpless when he saw him no more than indifferent. He obviously had no intention of helping him to get out with Beryl. Horry had to do it himself and took the blame for his boss—Jacob.

”Mrs. Gu, before I came here, I found out something about you. I know your child is very important to you; even more important than your life. But you keep her in your sight just because you want to take control over her life. Your love for her is so heavy, it could crush her. Frankly, I think you have morbid mental issues. I advise that you seek a professional's help as well and take on a treatment…”

Emily's eyes widened in surprise. Although she did not want to listen to the psychologist, his voice kept ringing in her ears and gravitated her down to confusion.

She wondered about it herself now. 'Do I have mental issues?' she thought to herself.

'Isn't it Jacob who has psychological problems?'
