Chapter 440 Suddenly Lose Her Mind
Shock and disbelief crossed Charles’s mind.
On his way over to the hospital, he had mentally prepared himself to accept the fact that Scarlett would
live the rest of her life attached to a machine. He even considered donating her body to release her from
the pain and give her freedom.
He hadn’t expected Natalie to save Scarlett with merely dozens of needles.
He realized he had wronged her. However, she continued to save Scarlett with her kindness despite his
biting accusations.
No wonder the granddaughter he was so proud of would lose to Natalie. It was rather obvious that this
was a complete loss.
Charles let go of the cane in his hand and bowed to Natalie.
“I apologize for my harsh words earlier.” He added sincerely, “You have a kind heart and excellent
medical skills. You didn’t take Zayden’s and Scarlett’s insolence to heart. And you even did your best to
save her. It was all thanks to you that she could regain consciousness. “I want to offer you my gratitude

“I know you’re Samuel’s true love and the future mistress of the Bowers family. Maybe you can get
everything you want by then. “But I promise you that Zayden and I will help you with everything we have
if you ever need help from the Hamilton family.”
Charles still had that loyalty and honor from back in those war-torn days. Since he had received Natalie’s
help, he would repay her kindness no matter the cost. Even if he passed on one day, he would ask
Zayden and the future generation of Hamiltons to repay her kindness.
Natalie accepted his gratitude and apologies with an open heart.
However, she wasn’t keen on an elderly man bowing to her, so she quickly helped him up. “All right. Let
me help you up. I still need to check on Ms. Scarlett’s condition.”
“Right!”
Zayden stepped away from Scarlett’s side, giving Natalie some space to check on her.
Natalie didn’t care for the grime and merely focused on pulling out the crystal needles from Scarlett’s
head and face.
She wiped the needles with a clean cloth and sorted each back into her pouch neatly.
After that, she felt for Scarlett’s pulse again.
Scarlett’s pulse had recovered to that of an average person’s beat. Most of the hematoma in her brain
had been expelled. Her nervous system didn’t suffer from any side effects.
“Ms. Scarlett is fine now. She will make a full recovery after a period of rest,” Natalie concluded casually.
“That’s great!” Zayden wiped away the tears from his eyes, grateful at the good news.
Natalie was about to ask Scarlett for the cause of her injury. She wanted to know if it was from an
accident or Yara’s doing when Scarlett suddenly shrunk her body into a corner of the bed. Her eyes had
lost focus and were staring mindlessly at everyone in the ward.
“Don’t come near me!” Scarlett’s entire body was trembling as though she was cold. “Who are you? What
have you done to me? I-I want to go back to kindergarten. I want Mommy and Daddy… I want my
brother.”
Natalie was bewildered by her reaction.
Kindergarten? That isn’t something an adult would say.

nervously. “I’m right beside you. Look at me, Scarlett.”
“Who are you, mister? Aren’t you embarrassed to say you’re my brother? Why are you impersonating
him?” Scarlett rolled her eyes and made exaggerated gestures at Zayden. “My brother is this short. He’s
not as tall as you! Do you think kids are so naive these days?”
At that moment, everyone understood her condition.
Her cognitive ability had been affected despite getting rid of the hematoma from her brain. Her memories
and intelligence had regressed to kindergartner level.
“Ms. Nichols, my granddaughter…” Charles felt like he was on a roller coaster ride. He was elated just a
while ago, yet now he was crestfallen.
“Logically, once all the hematoma has been completely removed, she shouldn’t have any side effects.”
She narrowed her eyes and her the creases on her forehead deepened. “Maybe the hematoma

“I’m hungry, mister.” Scarlett tugged on Zayden’s sleeves and requested, “I want to eat fish and chips.”
Even though Scarlett had lost her mind, she was alive. Zayden was grateful for that. He nodded,
agreeing to her request. “All right. I’ll go and get it in a while, but I have to call the doctor to give you a
complete checkup.”
