The Love I Begged For Was Never Real novel Chapter 418

"Has something else happened at the company?"

"It's not the company. We're still managing to keep the board members and senior executives in check for now."

Liam furrowed his brow, his expression turning gravely serious. He pulled a medical report from his briefcase and handed it to Franklin.

"These are the lab results from Mr. Hayes's blood draw last week, along with Dr. Marcus Reed's psychological evaluation."

Liam's voice dropped to a harsh whisper, every word dripping with profound anxiety.

"The dosages of antidepressants and sleeping pills Mr. Hayes is currently taking are astronomical. They have far exceeded the absolute safety limits the human body can tolerate."

Upon hearing this, Franklin's face darkened instantly, the glass of water in his hands trembling slightly.

Liam continued his hushed report, each syllable landing like a heavy blow.

"This massive intake of medication has blown past his metabolic ceiling. It's severely compromising his nervous system and cognitive reflexes."

"The doctor told me that if he keeps taking them like this, Mr. Hayes is at severe risk of permanent cognitive impairment. He'll start experiencing auditory and visual hallucinations, maybe even lose the ability to separate dreams from reality. What's been happening lately is just the precursor to full cognitive failure."

"His brain has triggered a defense mechanism, subconsciously rejecting the reality of Giselle's death by fabricating a logically consistent hallucination."

Listening to the harsh medical terminology, Franklin's eyes grew wet once more.

"What are we supposed to do? I tried hiding the pill bottles, and the young master flew into a terrifying rage, smashing everything in his room. He won't calm down until he takes them."

Liam let out a slow exhale, his tone thick with helplessness.
