I Quit Being a Stepmother (Cypress Gem) novel Chapter 550

"Dr. Morrow, aren't you afraid that patient might get triggered, and you know…" a young intern, Greta Sullivan, asked hesitantly. She was still shaken by what she had just witnessed.

Madison came from three generations of psychiatrists.

She didn't even look up as she flipped through a stack of recent patient reports. "You mean you're afraid that she'll suddenly snap and lose control?"

Greta clutched Cynthia's medical file firmly. "Well, yes!"

After all, that woman was the mother of a very powerful man. If anything were to happen to her, everyone involved would be held responsible.

Madison gave a soft laugh. "First of all, she's sick. That's a fact. Second, once you step into this hospital, everyone's the same. Mental illness doesn't come in high-class or low-class varieties. And didn't you notice her husband's attitude? He has clearly reached his limit. The only reason he hasn't abandoned her completely is probably because of the decades they've spent together."

Greta sighed. "Are all rich families that heartless?"

Madison glanced at her. "It's not that rich families are heartless. It's just how people are."

A rich family was just a structure, an empty shell. It was the people inside who made it what it was.

So why blame the family itself?

"From now on, you'll be in charge of monitoring Mrs. Snider's condition every day. Record every detail, no matter how small."

Greta nodded. She wasn't afraid as she had dealt with tougher patients in this hospital before.

"Where are you going, Dr. Morrow?" she asked.

Madison usually spent her days napping in her office. She had already been unusually busy that day, so Greta wondered where she was heading now.

Madison didn't look back as she replied, "To push Mrs. Snider a little further."

Greta was rendered speechless.

Sometimes she wondered if Madison herself was still entirely sane after spending 20 years in this place.

"Sometimes things have to break before they can be rebuilt. Get it?" Madison walked down the hallway.
