Jim's mouth twitched slightly.
"Megan, don't you think too much? Why did she drug the baby?"
"Isn't she suffering from recurrent insanity? Maybe she had a relapse again," said Megan.
Jim kept silent and turned to the invisible monitor in the room. Besides the bedroom and bathroom, there were monitors everywhere in his villa. As long as he checked the surveillance video, he would know the truth.
Janice had a good night's sleep. By the way, she was thinking about how to make her baby sick for a long time.
She thought a fracture should be good, and it would take one hundred days for him to recover, so that she could live in Jim's villa all the time.
When she came out of her room, Jim was waiting for her in the hall with a serious expression on his face.
"Morning, Jim. How is the baby? Is he better?" she asked, pretending to care about her child.
"Come and have a seat," Jim said slowly.
Janice came over and sat beside him.
"Let me show you something!" Jim picked up the remote control and turned on the TV.
In the video, Janice was mixing milk powder into water.
Janice's body convulsed violently and jumped up from the sofa like being stuck by a needle.
"Where did you get this?"
"Surveillance video," Jim said casually.
Eva went downstairs with the little baby in her arms, followed by the nanny.
"Oh, my lady, your disease is so terrible that you have to be treated as soon as possible. You can't delay it. Take the medicine as soon as possible." Megan sighed.
"You can't even let go of a child of a six years old. You are really incurably sick," Carol said angrily.
"Poor child, look how is he suffering!" Sage shook her head.
"What did you put in the milk powder?" Jim's voice and tone became unusually cold. His eyes were as cold as ice, without any warmth. This was the first time that Janice felt the chill.
At this time, the only thing she could do was to pretend to be dead.
"I... I..." As soon as she closed her eyes, she fell down.
Jim didn't help her, because she was not Janice now, but the woman he hated very much.
Eva handed the baby to Megan, then she ran up to Janice and helped her up.
"Carol, bring me some water."
"I don't know if she is pretending or not. A psycho can also pretend to be sick when she does not have a relapsed," Carol muttered angrily and fetched a can of ice water from the fridge.
After Eva fed her some water, she pretended to be sober.
"What happened? Why am I here?" She showed an extremely confused expression.
"You became her again. You even drugged the baby's milk powder to make him vomit and have diarrhea." Eva sighed.
"What did you say?" Pretending to be surprised, Janice jumped up from the sofa and asked, "Where is my baby? How is my baby?" She began to look for her son. Seeing that Megan was holding him, she rushed over.
"Let me have a look."
Megan took two steps back and didn't give the baby to her. "Mrs. Janice, your illness is so terrible that we can't tell whether you are sober or sick. So you'd better stay away from the baby in the future."
Janice collapsed to the ground, grabbed her hair and burst into tears.
"Why did she do this to me? Why did she treat my child like this? Is she so eager to replace me?"
Jim didn't move. He just looked at her coldly. He couldn't tell which was the real Janice and which was her avatar. Maybe Janice had died before she went to America and returned with a secondary personality.
Eva hugged her and said, "Janice, don't do this. It's not your fault. Your condition is getting worse and worse. You have to find a way to cure it."
"I've already consulted the doctor. The dual personality can't be cured at all." Janice shook her head and looked at Jim. "I think only Jim can help me. At night, if Jim stays with me, I can wake up successfully on the second day. Otherwise, I will always be locked up by her."
She said so because she hoped that Jim could let her move here.
"Really?" Eva was slightly stunned and glanced at Jim.
She couldn't help. It all depended on Jim.
Jim's face was expressionless. "Janice, I can't tell which one are you and which one is her now. I think there's only one way to solve it."
"Jim, please help me. Let me stay here with you and Eva, okay?" Janice said immediately. She thought that was what Jim meant.
However, Jim said, "I have contacted the doctor of the mental hospital. You need professional psychological guidance and treatment. So it's better for you to stay there for a while."
Janice's body convulsed violently. She couldn't believe that Jim would send her to a psychiatric hospital!
"I don't want to go there. I will die there completely."
"Don't worry. It won't be you who will die there. It will only be her," Jim said clearly and forcefully.
