The Returned Heiress Who Had It All (Cassia) novel Chapter 401

Chapter 401 Ongoing Treatment

“Oh, right, Mr. Wood–was there something you needed when you called?”

“Ah, haha… No, nothing…” Vance forced a dry laugh and hung up the phone.

“Dad, what is it? What did Peter say?” Brie asked when she saw the strange look on Vance’s face.

Could it be that Sterling’s autism actually got cured?

Vance didn’t even know what expression he was supposed to wear.

“Sterling’s autism is gone. He’s really attending Zrario Elementary School now.”

“No way.”

Brie stared at Cassia in disbelief.

Is Sterling really cured? Cassia actually treated him?

How could Cassia possibly have that kind of ability?

“Dad, what if Peter lied to you? Cassia was the one who told you to call him just now…”

“That’s unlikely. Peter wouldn’t have any reason to lie to me.”

Vance knew lying was possible in general, but it didn’t feel like something Peter would do.

He looked at Cassia.

So maybe Cassia really can heal people…

He remembered how, at the hospital, Danica had immediately stopped making a scene the moment she saw Cassia.

When Cassia sat beside her, Danica’s depression hadn’t flared up at all.

Whether Cassia truly knew medicine or not, Vance had to admit one thing–having Cassia stay by Danica’s side was clearly helping her recovery.

He also remembered that day at the hospital when Cassia had brought sedatives, and in a fit of anger, he had smashed the vial to the floor, shouting at her with absolute certainty, “Danica doesn’t need your treatment!”

And now…

Vance looked at Cassia, that sentence replaying in his mind, and his face flushed red, then turned purple, looking worse by the second.

Standing in front of Cassia at this moment, he wished he could crawl into a hole and disappear.

It was humiliating.

“Then… go ahead and treat her.”

Over the next few days, Cassia temporarily moved back into Wood Manor.

Not for anything else–just to ease Geneva’s burden and to treat Danica.

Since Danica’s depression had only developed recently, it wasn’t as stubborn or severe as Sterling’s had been.

After several days of Cassia personally adjusting her treatment and staying by her side, Danica gradually began stepping out of her room once or twice on her own.

The Woods witnessed with their own eyes the dramatic changes in Danica after Cassia began treating her.

She went from swallowing sleeping pills in a suicide attempt to now being able to exchange a few simple words with someone

other than Geneva.

No matter how unwilling they were to acknowledge Cassia’s ability, Danica’s transformation was proof enough to slap them in the

face.

“Danica, seeing you slowly getting better makes me so happy!” Brie said, opening her arms to hug her.

But Danica flinched, turned sideways to avoid the embrace, and retreated back into her small bedroom.

“Danica…”

Brie watched her sister’s distance with a hurt expression.

And the look in Danica’s eyes was cold–nothing like the warmth and closeness she used to show.

For the first time, Brie felt a sense of crisis rise in her chest.

One day.

A male classmate of Brie’s had a crush on Danica and asked Brie to help set them up.

At first, Brie thought Danica was still depressed and, on top of that, felt jealous that someone was into her, so she intended to refuse.

But the boy gave her a lot of jewelry, and she thought, Danica isn’t suicidal anymore, and she’s recovering–she’ll be fine.

So Brie agreed to help and brought the boy to their house.

Danica had been watching TV in the living room. The moment she saw a stranger, she panicked and ran back into her small bedroom, refusing to come out no matter what.

Brie had already accepted the jewelry–there was no way she could return it now.

Since no one else was home and Cassia was in her room, Brie forcefully dragged Danica out.

“Stop… stop pulling me…”

Danica clung tightly to the stair railing, refusing to go downstairs no matter how much Brie coaxed her.
