Chapter 19
They were not sure what Elysia whispered to the little boy, but minutes later, he toddled over to her. He wrapped his arms tight around her neck and buried his tear–stained face into her. shoulder.
Elysia scooped up the child and walked over to the nearby park, finding a spot on the green
lawn to sit and chat.
Half an hour later, the kid had literally dozed off in her arms.
The Denton family, witnessing the scene, approached in utter astonishment, “When he has his fits, we usually have to quiet him down with sedatives. We never thought it could be done without drugs.”
Elysia explained, “Bipolar disorder is a mixture of maniac and depression, which is a mental issue. Medication can help, but it’s still crucial to talk to him and to enter his world. Yelling at him when he’s distressed is the worst thing you can do it only makes him more agitated.”
As she spoke, Elysia rummaged through her bag, pulling out a pen and paper, and jotted down a few herbal remedies, “If you trust me, try brewing these herbs for him, sweeten it with some stevia, and coax him to drink it. It might help.”
“Are you a doctor?” the child’s parents asked eagerly.
sia shook her head with an embarrassed smile, “No, I don’t have a medical degree but just picked up a few things from family. But you can trust this recipe, it’s safe.”
After handing the child back to his parents, she waved goodbye and left.
From a short distance away, Benjamin had been watching everything. He had been driving by when he spotted Corbin’s episode and had quickly parked to rush over, only to be a step behind Elysia.
His friend Tarquin’s son Elijah suffered from the same condition as Corbin. If Elysia could, soothe Corbin, surely she could do the same for Elijah.
She was a pretty lady with a warm and sweet smile–she had a healer’s aura. Maybe Elijah would accept her!
Excited by the thought, Benjamin approached the Dentons to
exchange a few words before. taking a glance at the herbal list Elysia had provided. It was full of natural sedatives, much gentler than pharmaceuticals!
Realizing she knew a thing or two about alternative medicine, his excitement grew. This knowledge could be more of a godsend for Elijah.
He quickly turned to follow Elysia but found she had walked some distance away. Quickening his
pace to catch up, he was suddenly stopped in his tracks-
A black sedan pulled up beside Elysia, and several figures jumped out, yanking her into the

car before speeding off.
“Damn! Damn it!” Benjamin cursed, a departure from his usual decorum. He watched helplessly as the sedan disappeared and quickly dialed Tarquin.
“Tarquin, you’ve got to hurry. I just found a woman who might be perfect for taking care of Elijah, but she’s just been kidnapped by a bunch of thugs right off the street.
What kind of world do we live in where people can still be snatched in broad daylight? You need to find her, she might be our only hope for Elijah!”
“What does she look like?” Tarquin inquired.
