Chapter 103 Almost Found The Cause
The first possibility was that Preston was facing competition for family inheritance rights, such as the one between Alexander and Julian.
If the results of a certain project back then had not been what Preston had wanted and he could not accept the reality, his brain might have suddenly gone wrong.
There was another possibility. During the car accident, he experienced things he did not want to experience and saw people he did not want to face.
So, he was completely dumbfounded!
Lianne was in a difficult position and did not know what to say.
Annalise looked at her and said, “Ms Blake, you have to tell me everything before I can judge Preston’s situation..”
“Preston, he’s?”
“It’s a mental illness!”
Lianne felt extremely upset. She let out a long sigh and said, “My brother’s been here ever since he was discharged from the hospital after the car accident. My father and the others went to visit him when he was in the hospital. After he came here, he didn’t go back to celebrate the New Year with us once. Sometimes, my grandmother and I would come over to spend the New Year with him.
“At that time, Grandma wanted to bring my brother home to recuperate. My father said that my brother had. lost his memory and become stupid. If I brought him back, he might smash the family’s valuables. Moreover, it would be bad luck to bring him back after he became stupid. It was better to recuperate outside before returning home. The scenery and air in the villa in the suburbs would be better, which is good for recuperation.
“Grandma was so angry that she almost fainted, she chased after my father and beat him with her walking stick. Later, I said that I would let my brother stay in the suburban villa.
“My thought was that my own place was always more reassuring. My brother had lost his memory, lost his normal intelligence, and lost his normal judgment. I was afraid that something would happen to his life at home.
“Other than Preston and I, my father also has other children. He has daughters and sons, so he doesn’t care about me and Preston.”
Speaking of this, Lianne’s eyes turned red.
“Sorry!” Annalise said.
She did not want to touch on her sad matters, but she had to find the root cause of the illness before she could treat Preston.
Preston’s situation was completely psychological.
Lianne shook her head. “I’m fine. I’ve just embarrassed myself in front of you.”
“No, every family has their issues,” Annalise Barton said.
Lianne sighed. “Yes, every family has their own problems.”
Especially for a wealthy family like theirs. They looked glamorous on the surface, but they had a ton of problems hidden from the public.
All sorts of fights and schemes.
She was really tired, but she could not say it.
No one cares if you are tired, no one will understand you. If she said it, others would only see her cowardice.
Moreover, she already had a better life than many people.
Compared to those who were kidnapped and forced to bear children, those who were ordered to have an abortion when the family found out it was a girl, those who were sold by their parents in exchange for a few thousand dollars of bride price, those who were forced to work by their parents after getting into a famous university… She was much better.
The world is cruel. We can only work hard to believe there is beauty in this world, create beauty, and cherish beauty.
Annalise caught important information from Lianne’s words-Lianne’s father did not like Lianne and Preston. Moreover, he was unwilling to bring Preston back home.
Could it be that their father had given a project that Preston rightfully earned to another son, causing him to lose his mind?
Thinking about it, she asked again, “Do you still remember the reason for your brother’s car accident? Was it caused by a phone call or something?”
