Chapter 776 Wait He’s Actually A Patient

48 Pearls

Sebastian was kicked so hard he froze; his mind went blank as he stared, dumbfounded. “Wait, Marie, what the heck was that?”

Right now, he was starting to think maybe the doctor hadn’t been lying after all. Marie… she really had lost it.

When Derrick first said Marie had some mental issues, he didn’t believe it. He thought there was nothing in this world that could push her that far.

But now, he believed it.

“Marie, what kind of crazy look is that?”

She was staring at him like he was some lunatic.

Even if she wasn’t actually insane, she was about to be driven insane by these two idiots.

“Keep staring. Go on–see if I don’t gouge your eyes out!”

Sebastian went quiet. She’s actually out of her mind, isn’t she?

He opened his mouth to say something else-

When suddenly, his phone buzzed in his pocket like a lifeline.

“Let me just grab this call.”

He picked up, turned his back, ready to bolt from the disaster zone.

But the moment he heard the voice on the other end, he froze in place.

It was the director of the psychiatric hospital.

“You said what? It wasn’t the doctor who came? Then who the heck was it?”

“It was one of his patients.”

Sebastian was speechless.

The air turned heavy; dead silence.

He stood rooted to the spot, stiff as a block of wood, brain completely fried. Where am I? Who am I? What the heck just happened?

For a long beat, he just stood there, knuckles whitening as he gripped the phone. Slowly, he turned back toward Maric, who was still fuming–Derrick busy coaxing her.

Cold sweat crawled down Sebastian’s spine. Lowering his voice into the receiver, he muttered, “Wait, wait–what do you mean? What’s going on here?”

He had asked for a psychiatrist… and they’d sent him the psychiatrist’s patient?

Could someone please explain how the heck that happened?

“Sorry, the one who showed up just now is the doctor’s most severe case. He had an episode; tied him up and shoved him under a bed.”

Hold on, episode? Tied him up and stuffed him under a bed? That’s not just mental illness–that’s full- blown psychotic! Rage shot through him. His voice jumped an octave. “Are you kidding me?”

Derrick and Marie went quiet.

Both of them turned their heads toward him at once.

Sebastian wanted to cry.

Suddenly, a thought flashed in his mind–Yan Li. Last he’d heard, Yan Li was stuck in Milbar Desert choking on sand, half–baked into a human mummy.

“Goddammit! What the heck are you people doing? You actually sent a patient over? How the heck are you going to take responsibility for this?”

He was fuming.

“We’re truly sorry. By the time we realized, he was already gone with you.”

Sebastian’s temples throbbed. His head felt like it might split open.

Before he could get another word out, Derrick stepped forward and clamped a hand on the back of his neck.

The sheer pressure in that grip made Sebastian’s chest seize. His phone slipped from his hand and clattered to the floor.

“Listen to me, I-”

Oh God, I’m gonna lose it!

“Help! Save me!”

Seeing Derrick’s terrifying aura, Sebastian knew his brother wasn’t about to let him off easy. His

eyes darted desperately toward Marie for backup.

Marie just folded her arms, watching the spectacle with frosty detachment. She was still pissed -why would she step in to save him?

The next second, Sebastian was hauled outside and punched twice; his face twisted with pain.

“Stop, top, don’t hit me again!”

When Derrick raised his hand to strike once more, Sebastian latched onto his brother’s long leg like a lifeline.

“I swear I didn’t know! I’m losing my mind too–I need a doctor more than she does right now!”

What the heck kind of mess was this? Derrick told him to bring a psychiatrist. Instead, he dragged over the psychiatrist’s patient!

And he’d even chatted with the guy the whole ride over…

At this point, Sebastian really wanted to curl up in some bathroom stall and cry himself unconscious.

He had talked with that lunatic the entire way—and hadn’t noticed a thing!

Not one damn clue!

Now Derrick had the surgical knife that patient had left behind, and he was twirling it against Sebastian’s cheek.

“Tell me what are you even good for, huh?”

–

Sebastian whimpered, “I swear, I’m innocent!”

“Innocent?”

The moment those words left his mouth, Derrick actually laughed–dark and cold.

“Innocent… huh.”

That was it–Sebastian broke. He sobbed so hard his tears mixed with snot. “I really am! I didn’t see anything wrong with him the whole way. I’m such an idiot–just kill me already!”

“Your IQ is pathetic.”

“I don’t have any IQ–you’ve always said that!”

Derrick’s words cut off, Sebastian snatching them right out of his mouth.

Derrick let out a sharp, mocking laugh. “Well, at least you’re self–aware, huh?”

Sebastian bawled like a baby. He had never felt this stupid in his entire life. What the heck did this count as? Am I dumb?

Getting beaten was one thing, but what pissed him off most was that he’d failed to see through that lunatic even after talking to him for so long.
